Omatase, oh-mah-goodness! Mega Katsu Curry. Perfection. I make Katsu at home and I thought my katsu was really good. I have to admit. This katsu might be better. The crisp texture. The crunchy bite. No grease. Perfect flakiness. Excellent moisture. Perfect chicken to panko ratio. Seriously, I have done my homework on katsu and you have outdone yourself with this katsu! A+ I am studying this katsu to replicate at home, so definitely will come again. :) Service again is warm and friendly. They remembered me and asked about my family who didn't come this time. I brought my friends. Ambiance is good. read more

I don't like seafood so I just got the chicken katsu curry. I think it was okay. The portion size was large but the chicken was on the chewier side which I don't like. Came out pretty fast and I just returned my tray to the end of the table when I finished. read more

A hidden gem! Located in Asiana's food court- this place has very good sushi! Fresh toro and so many more options if you don't like sushi. But just sushi, it's a 10/10! read more

Wow talk about a hidden gem! Inside the Asiana Market in Mesa is Omatase Japanese Kitchen and they have best curry even better than CoCo Ichibanya in Japan! Dare I say the best curry I have ever had The curry itself has pieces of beef which gives it that extra depth of flavor and heartyness. I had fried breaded fish elsewhere but this one was light and paired perfectly with the sauce and a good portion of white rice and fresh fruit on the side to offset the heavier meal. My boys loved their sushi and Takoyaki as well. We were the only ones dinning here on a Sunday afternoon so come visit and keep this place alive read more

Omatase Japanese Kitchen - Hawaii bowl - Japanese Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Located inside the Asian market, this spot is a quick and affordable way to enjoy Japanese cuisine. The cashier was friendly, and the food was prepared quickly. The ramen had great flavor, and I really enjoyed the roasted garlic. The noodles were perfectly cooked--bouncy and satisfying--and the broth was smooth and rich. While it wasn't spicy enough for my personal taste, it definitely didn't lack flavor. There's plenty of seating available, making it a comfortable place to sit down and enjoy a meal before or after shopping. read more

I was looking forward to try their food but I often went to Asiana market on Monday when they are closed. Finally I made it there in the weekend and so happy with their food. Salmon curry rice is so delicious. The salmon slices are tempura-like coated go very well with the curry. The pickled ginger is to die for and help me enjoy the curry more. There are many selections of hand rolls, which are really hard to decide. The fish and seafood in the hand rolls are fresh. The small sides that come with the hand rolls are really great implements to the meal. read more

Pretty dang good for an order at the counter; serve yourself food court joint! I got the spicy tuna maki roll (8 pieces). My hubby got the tuna & salmon sashimi as well as a couple salmon nigiri, and everything tasted fantastic! Incredible fresh and oishi!! Omatase is inside Asiana market, so if you drive to the address and don't see it, go inside Asiana market! They DO have gluten free tamari soy sauce! Everything you need and want! Great casual food court gem! read more

Omatase Japanese Kitchen - Sushi heaven! - Japanese Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

This is a newer place located inside Asiana food court. After shopping at Asiana, decided to check them out as I knew they were prior owners of Sushi Stop and I loved their food. I wasn't very hungry so I ordered an assorted 7 piece sushi $20- tuna, salmon, yellowtail, albacore, sea bass, shrimp and salmon roe. It was just ok, not amazing as I remembered. They have a pretty big menu including a hungry menu for big appetites. The owners are really sweet so I'd come back and try something different next time. read more

This place is excellent! My hubby is an island boy and will not eat fish if it's got even a hint of fishiness, but he absolutely loved everything we ate here. The employees are kind and caring as well. We loved it and we will be back! No wonder this place has so many great reviews! read more

Omatase (\(お待たせ\)) is a Japanese word that means "sorry to have kept you waiting". It can be used as a polite greeting, even if you are not late.  For this great place, I would gladly wait. The owners, Mei and Jay, are the original owners of Sushi Stop. My heart is so happy to see them again! Today is their grand opening and we got some takoyaki (six pieces for $9), pork katsu with the addition of cheese ($18 + $3), and a Las Vegas maki roll (five pieces for $8). Everything tasted delicious, as always. The curry dish is easily shareable between two people. We could have gotten just the curry and it would be perfect but you know I needed a maki roll for good measure. No regrets. Sitting in the Asian food court is Omatase Japanese Kitchen! You won't be disappointed having a meal here. Itadakimasu! read more

The folks from Sushi Stop sold their place and opened a new spot in Asiana. The nicest family, so go support this local owned business! Got a tonkatsu curry plate, sushi salad, and other stuff. The katsu breading is crisp and portions are huge. We also got some items from the neighboring food kitchens, Korean Kimchi chigae, and the fried chicken from third spot looked legit. Come by yourself, or choose family style and order a bunch of tasty things, both are guaranteed winning game plans. Take out window, food court style dining. This is a great spot to eat!!! Note: Return your dishes to the Omatase folks. They wash all their own dishware. read more

Omatase located in Asiana market food court. We didn't know what to expect ordering sashimi inside a food court, but oh man! Kobe donburi, which consisted of mixed sashimi over sushi rice was really fresh. Quality of fish was excellent as well. Only at $16, it was inexpensive. It also came with side salad. Will be back to try other entrees including sushi and tonkatsu. Highly recommend!! read more

From the original owners of Sushi Stop is Omatase Japanese Kitchen! Give this great couple all your love, Phoenix! We came on Grand Opening and I'm happy to report that the flavors are still one hundo. We got a pork katsu with cheese, Las Vegas maki roll, and the takoyaki. Get sushi/udon/ramen/curry/donburi fix here before shopping at Asiana (trust, you don't want to shop on an empty stomach). I'm a big fan of support our small and local businesses and this couple deserves their flowers. I encourage you to grab a bite here. You won't be disappointed. read more

For anyone who loved Sushi Stop before they went under new ownership, the original owners moved to Asiana food court and are doling out the same quality and care as their old restaurant. Please don't let the food court concept turn you off. Omatase Japanese Kitchen continues to shine as a hidden gem. Just like their old restaurant, they mainly excel in sushi. Omatase gives VERY generous portion sizing for their rolls. In fact, their rolls are so big that most people will have to take two bites. If you want quality fish, good value, and very filling portions, their rolls are the way to go. However, if you mainly want great fish with generous slices, their nigiri is a fantastic option and my partner's personal favorite. Omatase has expanded their menu to include other dishes besides sushi as their focus. I personally love their udon. The broth is so rich and comforting. Their curry katsu sizing is massive. I do wish they gave a bit more katsu. You'll mainly end up with tons of curry. It'll be to the point you likely will want more rice if you have leftovers. The ramen is serviceable, but you may want to go to a more dedicated ramen spot for that instead. Service as always is kind and swift. Their space is always immaculately clean. Some of the things they could improve is their menu presentation. It's rather chaotic. I'm also not a fan of the AI generated images of food that's not what they've made. As they are a small family owned business, sometimes their actual operating hours may not reflect when they're truly open. Life happens though. Overall, I recommend Omatase especially for their nigiri. It will impress and stand out especially compared to other spots in the area. read more

We really enjoy Omatase. We live in California and it is a recommendation of my brother and his wife. Portions are very generous and the owners are very friendly. Would definitely recommend and come back when in Arizona visiting my daughter and husband read more

The sushi donburi bowls here are the best plates of food you'll have in Arizona. Both the fish and rice quality is outstanding. If this place was in Gilbert, I'd eat here 4-5 times per week. No exaggeration. read more

Very yummy sushi rolls, thickly cut fish on nigiri. My favorite sushi shot - and it says a lot since I have plenty of 1-star reviews here. It's owned by older Japanese couple. Not much of the ambiance though, it's on the middle of the food court. read more

I heard about this place from a Foodie group on Facebook and was curious to see if it lived up to the hype. I took my mom and my husband and we found out it definitely lived up to any praise it was given! Since it's deathly hot now, we ordered some nice, refreshing sushi and some absolutely delicious appetizers. Their menu is pretty extensive so it was hard to decide on what to actually order, but we finally decided on the Hokkaido bowl with Scallops - plump little morsels of sweetness with little pops of brininess from the masago and refreshing crunch from the assorted pickles, the sashimi salad - with tuna, salmon, albacore, shrimp, crab, and spicy tuna on a bed of fresh greens and a delightful ginger soy dressing for a bite that changed with every forkful, and the Kobe donburi with assorted sashimi - tuna, salmon, yellowtail, albacore, and shrimp on a bed of rice with those same yummy pickles. All 3 of the mains hit the spot and we were super impressed with the freshness of the fish! For the appetizers (because we're little piggies), we ordered the crab & cream croquette - so crunchy and yet sweetly creamy, the mixed tempura - crisp and light fried veggies and shrimp, and the takoyaki - the only not perfectly on point item - a little mushier than I prefer. I would absolutely eat here again though the Hungry menu is absolutely frightening unless you bring a crowd or you haven't eaten for a few days! Definitely bring your appetite! read more

Very nice fresh sushi has an authentic Japanese vibe. Employees are very friendly and gave a very good experience!

Amazing!! Love their katsu curry. Been looking for a good Japanese curry spot in Arizona for forever!! Superrrr crispy katsu. The curry is absolutely delicious. Definitely best Japanese curry I've had in Arizona. I could eat this everyday if I could. read more

This is my first review! But, I definitely say this spot is amazing! Been here twice and planning on coming again!! Food: I ordered the Gardena Roll and the Salmon/Tempura Handroll, I really enjoyed it!! The Gardena Roll has the perfect level of spice and the size is definitely a bang for your buck!! I'd prefer the size of the roll to be a little smaller because it can't fit in my mouth in one try T^T but the flavor is great! While the Salmon Handroll was a light yummy snack! The combination of cucumber, avocado, salmon, and tempura was really balanced and refreshing Service: I've visited on a slow and fast day and their service remains immaculate! The owners are very friendly and welcoming, the staff is also very nice!!! Ambiance: when it was bustling and busy, they handled the rush really well!! The atmosphere of the food court was lively! Overall, as a local customer of Asiana Market, Omatase is an amazing addition to the food court! In terms of food, service, and ambiance, I enjoyed it all, no major complaints ^^ read more

Have gone a few times for Soba. Very nice lady who takes order. Food is good. I would recommend.

I debated between the udon and ramen and thought you can't really go wrong with ramen. I was highly disappointed in the tonkatsu ramen. The toasted garlic did add some flavor but overall the first taste left my decision regrettable. The chashu pork was bland like they just boiled it and threw it in the soup. I hope their other dishes are much better and I will probably try it one day. I think the ramen I had was comparable to a packet ramen but 20x more expensive. read more

For those who loved Sushi Stop before they sold to new ownership, the original owners have now moved into the Asiana food court. But do NOT let the walk-up counter service fool you. Generous portions of fresh handmade sushi abound amid other menu options such as katsu curry and udon noodle soup. The owners are kind and personable, taking deep pride in both their food and service. We are so happy they found a new home in Asiana and well be visiting often! read more

Just came back from Japan and I was missing the food. I tried their chicken and pork katsu and I must say this is as close as you can get to eating in Japan. Food was amazing and portions were a lot.
