Wow, I would have taken pictures but we are it too fast! To start the staff was great, I knew…read moreexactly what I wanted as did my son, but my wife and daughter were nervous ordering because they aren't seafood fans They were indulging my cravings and saw the soy sesame chicken option. The girls helping build the bowls were amazing, patient and friendly as they decided and had questions about mix ins, sauces, and toppings. The bowls were filled perfectly with a great balance of flavors and texture. The sushi rice was cooked ideally great texture and flavor. The ahi and salmon were fresh and portioned well. I cannot believe I slept on this location for this long, I feel like I can never get those years of experience back now. For what it's worth the Fry's up the road and the Sprouts across the street do Poke as well and charge the same amount, theirs are absolute garbage compared to Poke Paradise quality, quantity, and ability to customize it yourself. Not even close, and the staff here was welcoming and made it feel worthwhile to go out to eat. I will note the place was also immaculate and clean, the girls building the bowls were attentive to not mix toppings and meats etc. Overall this was one of the better experiences our family has had eating out lately, and we will definitely be back. If you are Poke curious, or an aficionado this is a great local place that deserves supporting.

Genuinely the best Poke experience I've had anywhere. I'm a California native visiting Arizona for…read moretraining for work, figured I can't go wrong with Poke, something I love! It's 105 degrees out, I just got out of a 5hr training after a 2hr flight from Cali, and I am EXHAUSTED. Welp as I said, I chose Poke to eat, and before even going to my hotel, and I genuinely made the best choice possible. Why? Because I was greeted by the kind, smiling and bubbly light of a person named Paola! She offered for me to try some samples to make sure I liked what they had before buying, greeted me with a smile, explained their process and engaged with me like a human and not just a customer which I genuinely appreciated. Thank you Paola for bringing so much light to my day and my week. You are amazing! Keep being the amazing bubbly human you are! You are going so many places in life, I see it already! Cheers!

I forgot the name of the roll I got but both the roll and and sashimi had such fresh salmon The roll had a little bit of a kick to it but I like a spicier roll!

Love how bright it is inside too

I first heard of Sushi Friend last year when they did a collab/pop up at Highball and I really…read moreenjoyed their sushi! I finally recently made my way to their actual restaurant! You place your order through one of two iPads at the front and just pay directly from there. Then find a seat and they'll bring out your order. I was particularly excited about their ube creme brulee, but unfortunately they didn't have any that day. It seems to be a limited item made in small batches. Another popular dessert they have is the ube cheesecake, which they did have in stock, but my heart was really set on the creme brulee. I got the scallop dyno roll and a salmon avocado roll. They also have nigiri, sashimi, specialty rolls, classic rolls, bowls, etc. The scallop dyno roll had seared scalloped on top that added a nice smoky flavor. Plus it had a little kick to it from the sriracha. From the previous event, I had tried their hand rolls and I remember really liking them! There's a few spots for parking directly in front of the restaurant, but there's also a dirt lot in the back for additional parking.

While we were sitting there for the typical four hour negotiation., I opened up my phone and looked for something to eat, and up popped Pick and Roll. All of the reviews sounded almost unbelievable, but because I was really in the mood for sushi, I decided to try them out. Boy, am I glad I decided to listen to the reviews on this one. This place is fantastic! This restaurant is fairly decent sized, located between a Mexican restaurant and ironically, a Panda Express (not sure why you would go to Panda when this is MUCH better and equally affordable). The dining room is well lit with about 10 to 12 tables and resembles a chipotle in terms of ordering process that funnels customers to the register. I ordered the smoked salmon roll, the spicy salmon roll, and a poke bowl. And on each one, the amount of ingredients and overall portion sizes far exceed what you typically expect for a sub $10 price point. My Poke Bowl was really exceptional and the purple rice is legit! It did feel and taste a little more starchy than regular white sushi rice but I liked it. Evidently they have two locations, with another location in Central Scottsdale. This will definitely be one of my go to sushi spots in the valley.

What I got : Church music IPA…read moreLuau pork sandwhich Samurai beef sticks Very spacious and clean restaurant was served pretty fast sitting at the bar. I think the service is really good. The beef sticks were pretty solid. Perfect amount of char on the onions and meat was pretty chewy in a good way very moist and the lime curry dipping sauce was a very good touch to go with it honestly, the pork sandwich though the amount of coleslaw they put on it was way too much and it ended up making a huge pool of coleslaw sauce underneath the bun so every time you picked up the sandwich, it would be just leaking constantly of coleslaw juice. It was way too much and it ruined the sandwich completely the meat in the sandwich at least was really good. It's just a coleslaw. Definitely ruined it funny enough I happen to look at somebody else who had caught in coleslaw, but on their tacos instead, and I was seeing the guy draining his taco because there was so much coleslaw juice they really need to fix that and then they got rid of the lobster bisque soup which was really one of the best things they had what a huge letdown there

I like to get the green beans I believe they are garlic, green beans let us not forget. The seafood selection is on point. They have shrimp which I get a plate of and oysters which I also get a plate of! When in Rome lmao!They also have a crab boil mix that you can put on your crab legs. The crab boil mix is spicy comes with corn and the potatoes as usual. The service is on point however, one time I feel like the server felt like I was overdoing it and gave me my check before I was ready lol I was going in. The sushi is pretty good as well and overall the ambience is legit. Everything seems clean and before I ended I also get the hibachi beef that they make fresh in front of you as well. You can put anything you want in your bowl and they have ice cream for dessert as well as your run of the male fruits and sweets. Definitely recommend this buffet. It's the only one I go to.
