I have to begin by saying, I haven't been to such an amazing restaurant or dining experience in a very long time, until Pyro! It seems next to impossible to hit all the marks of good vibe, good service and great food; and Pyro has it all. The restaurant is right by Global Ambassador, so parking is in the structure, and can get very busy every night, so be prepared for that. The restaurant had a lovely, dark, alluring vibe inside. We did choose to sit outside, as there was a nice big patio and the weather was beautiful. The chairs had a gorgeous deep curve, that wrapped the arms around you and were tailored in a gorgeous floral. Our incredible server, Ren, greeted us at our table and her energy was immediately infectious! We knew we were going to have a great time. You could tell she loved her job and loved this restaurant. She walked us through the menu and gave us many recommendations on drinks and food. We all listened to her drink options , all getting something different, and they were all fantastic. The matcha espresso and Louis' Martini were my favorites. We ordered the steak tartare, gyoza, short rib skewers, spicy salmon handrolls (we were able to make it 3), and scallops with risotto. Everything was truly incredible. The steak tartare was all of our favorites, and the hand rolls and gyoza , close second. Only thing I'd do differently, is try the chicken thigh skewers over the short rib. I imagine you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. With our whole evening being absolutely perfect, and still talking about it 2 weeks later, we can't wait to go back! We will definitely be asking for Ren as our server ! And reordering some of our favorites and trying some new things I had my eye on. So happy to know a restaurant still has passion and takes pride in a true dining experience. read more

We had an amazing dinner at Pyro. Everything from the cocktails, appetizers, French Sauvignon Blanc, entree, and dessert were amazing. Started out with signature cocktails, yellowtail sashimi, and tsukune meatballs. My son had the lamb rack with chimichurri sauce. I had the branzino. The waitress suggested a dry French Sauvignon Blanc. We finished off with the best panna cotta I've ever eaten. Loved the atmosphere. Not too loud. Service was wonderful. I highly recommend this restaurant. Servers were very knowledgeable about the food and wine. Pyro is on my list of favorite Phoenix restaurants. read more

Craving Japanese food but not in the mood for omakase, I came across Pyro--and it turned out to be a great find. I was immediately drawn to the yellowtail sashimi, beautifully presented with orange, serrano, pickled ginger, white shoyu, olive oil, and cilantro. It tasted even better than it looked. The spicy tuna, pork belly, scallops, and shaved greens with miso sauce were all well-seasoned and full of flavor. The standout dessert was the ube panna cotta--not to be missed. Service was just as memorable--the woman who served us was delightful. Overall, a truly wonderful experience. read more

Vegas Vibes in Phoenix... Pyro, a restaurant that I will be talking about for a while. I was impressed from the moment our party of 4 walked in. The upbeat vibes, with dim lighting gave great ambiance to this great spot. Our server (can't remember her name)...AMAZING! The food is next level DELISH! We shared apps, sides, dessert, and we had our entrees. Everything so cooked perfectly. I cannot wait to comeback to Phoenix just to go to Pyro again. read more

What a great experience! Our server Henry was fantastic & made so many amazing recommendations. We got there a little early before they opened, but they were friendly & welcoming.

Went here for Valentine's day, and this place is such a good unexpected find! We got the yellow tail sashimi, asian pear mixed greens, whole branzino, seared bigeye tuna, short rib fried rice, gochujang brussel sprouts, and ube panna cotta for dessert! Our favorites/the standouts were definitely the branzino, seared big eye tuna, gochujang brussel sprouts, and ube panna cotta! The asian pear mixed greens and fried rice were great as well but I feel like the others were just better in comparison! Service was great and we never felt like we had to flag down the waiters because ours was great about checking in on us. Our friend said that their skewers and steak are pretty good as well. We will probably try those the next time we come back! read more

Brunch service review. This day 2 of their launch. Loooooove! I love the dinner here and the brunch didn't disappoint! Service was great! I believe Greg is the manager and was very polite and caring. He made sure we were taken care of and the whole staff in general was fantastic! What a great team! Now onto the food! Started with the Pyro Caesar salad: Parmesan, nori, crunchy bits, miso Caesar salad. I love when a Caesar salad is not overdone and yet I can tell they put their own twist to it. The dressing was perfect and not drowning the salad and had plenty of flavor. Loved the crunchy bits for the texture! I give this dish a 5/5. Next we had the seasonal fruit and yogurt bowl. To my surprise it was UBE Greek yogurt! Ahhhhhhh! I'm in love with Ube everything! However I was hesitant at first because I'm not the biggest fan of Greek yogurt because of the weird after taste but this had no weird after taste and was so goooood! I could take this home with me and have as a snack everyday! The seasonal fruits were raspberries, blueberries, dragon fruit and bananas which are all fruits I love ! It did have almonds and honey! This was perfect synergy of flavors in a yogurt bowl. Definitely 5/5! Next up, my boyfriend had the steak and eggs: 6 oz teres major, French omelet, compound truffle butter, pyro jus. Price was great and per him he thought it was a fancier take on steak and eggs. His steak was made to his liking. He rates it a 5/5 I had the charred avocado toast. Excellent! Just what I needed after a dance class. It consisted of: smoked salmon, yuzu aioli, pea tendrils, garlic chip, nori kizami and 2 eggs. I had my scrambled and they were made perfectly and moist. The toast itself was delicious! Smoked Salmon was mmmm . I give this a 5/5. We both had a mocktail, the spiced peach tea: peach, lemon juice, Thai chili honey, black tea ice cube. I always love a place that has a great non-alcoholic beverage! Sooo delicious and complex! Not spicy so don't get scared with that. It's wonderful party of flavors that blend well. We both rate this 5/5 Every dish was pleasant in its own way! We enjoyed the food, drinks, and service. It wasn't too crowded today. We came at 12:45 pm. We sat inside. The place is beautiful itself. I love the green color for the back splash and the upholstery fabric on the seating is gorgeous in color and classy. They had a dj playing and the music was fun. I was digging the vibes ! Definitely a great brunch experience! Like I said we've had dinner and we're impressed with that as well so definitely we will return for brunch and dinner and bring friends and family. Please come check out their newly launched brunch! It will be a great experience read more

Everything at PYRO was amazing!! From the ambiance to the service to the tasty dishes, I would absolutely come back here. The hand rolls were amazing - we got the tuna and it was definitely worth it! Next favorite was the crab noodles- so creamy and lemony I would order this again. The pork belly skewers was so tender and crispy, it was perfection with the dipping sauce. The short rib fried rice was good, pretty spicy, but I don't think I'd order it again to try other dishes! The sticky toffee cake was amazing and sweet. The drinks were ok, I don't think you could taste the calamansi in the margarita and the blue lychee didn't taste like lychee either. read more

Love the spider has awesome vibes really unique menu. The stick tart is so good. I also love the short rib skewers. The crab pasta was also delicious. I had that last time my drink. I have to get every time as the Matcha espresso martini. It is so tasty overall it's a really great restaurant. One of my favorite places in the Arcadia area service is always spot on, especially at the bar. read more

Celebrated my son's birthday few weeks back and it was the first time at Pyro for all of us. We went for happy hour and ordered quite a few items sushi, fried rice, burger and a noodle dish. Wow everything was absolutely delicious. The fried rice had a little bit of spice not over the top. The burger was very unique perfectly cooked and quite tasty. The noodle dish was something that I would not normally not order but it was very tasty and have ordered it again. We also really enjoyed the sushi and a nice bottle of wine. The ambience is super cool along with excellent service we have already been back. This definitely on the dinner rotation list. Planning to try a few more unique dishes soon. read more

You really should come here for Happy Hour! They offer it every day from 1pm to 6:30pm. Great hours to try quite a few options from cocktails and wines to appetizers and plates. We got the short rib fried rice, it was good but do wish it had some more short rib. Loved the little spicy kick it had. Also tried the salmon hand roll, which was delicious as well. I lowkey loved the soy sauce bottle it came in. The drinks were very tasty, I loved my sake spritz. Partner had the margarita and I will say it was spicy! So be warned. Service is very friendly and food came out pretty quickly. Shout out to the blonde bartender who recently had a baby girl! You were so nice to us and we hope to come back soon! Overall, vibey restaurant that is perfect for girls night or a date night! read more

We absolutely loved our experience at Pyro. Everything we ordered was fantastic. The food was delicious, the drinks were wonderful, and the entire meal was just great from start to finish. What really made the experience stand out was our server, Cece. She was kind, attentive, and genuinely took great care of us the whole time. You can tell she really cares about the guests she's serving, and it made the whole evening even better. Great food, great drinks, and excellent service. read more

My best friend & I came here to celebrate her Birthday dinner & try something new rather than our usual go to places & it did not disappoint. The restaurant itself is very beautiful. The service was good & the food was delicious! We decided to partake in some of the happy hour specials & do family style dining. We ordered the Gyoza, pork belly skewers, Brussels sprouts & short rib fried rice, & the sticky toffee desert. The star of the night was definitely the pork belly skewers & short rib fried rice. I'm still drooling thinking about it. The gyoza was ok, it had a hint of mustard flavor which I personally don't prefer. Even with that said I still may order it again. The sticky toffee desert was really disappointing, so we didn't eat much of that. We were really excited to try it as it has all kinds of delicious flavors that you would think would hit the mark. It had either a ginger or cardamom type of spice that just didn't belong. The ice cream & brown butter sauce were amazing though. We could have been happy eating that by itself. It was a wonderful gesture of birthday dessert. But next time I want to try the Ube dessert. There is no street parking just valet.They only validate partial parking. So be prepared to pay for that as well. We had a great time & will be returning very soon. read more

This place was sooo good im so happy i finally got to try it. They even have happy hour on Saturday which was amazing. We got the pork belly and chicken thigh skewers. The pork belly was my favorite and had sooo much flavor. We also got the chillin noodles and the cheeseburger. Omggg the cheese burger was soooo good. The sauce they put on the side was also delicious. For appetizers we got the gyoza which was delicious and of course the match espresso martini is the best I've ever had. The service was great and I love the vibes and aesthetic in here. read more

Love the vibe here indoor and outdoor. Dark/Dim lighting for a romantic setting. The decor and ambiance has a modern old school look. Everything is meant to share which is great so you can taste more things. Between 4 of us we ordered about 7 plates and finished everything. My favorite was the short rib fried rice and the garlic noodles. Everything is super flavorful and they make sure everything comes out in a particular order. Service was lovely. Our waitress was kind, and happy answered all of our questions and offered suggestions. The only reason im not giving 5 stars at the moment is, when it came time for the bill, it took like 20min with no service. Non valet parking is aboir $15 in the garage right across the street. Valet parking is $5 with validation but was only 1 attendant so you may have to wait. read more

Per the great reviews, we decided to make reservations at Pyro for our Anniversary dinner. We arrived 30 minutes early and sat at the bar. There were only a hand full of people at the bar and we were there for a few minutes before any of the 4 bar staff acknowledged us so we were not sure how the evening would end up going. Once we had the attention of one of the bartenders, we ordered two dirty martini's and asked for them to be shaken very, very cold. They are served in beautiful coupe type martini glasses but unfortunately were not cold and the olive juice they use was just off. We just couldn't finish them. But, I want to acknowledge how nice and attentive the young man who is the Bar-back was to us. He constantly checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Once we checked in, the hostess sat us in a very nice booth section in the middle of the restaurant away from the crowds. Our server was Emily who is excellent. We ordered wine and Emily went over the menu and offered some great suggestions. As we were ordering, a family came in and were sat behind us in the same section. Unfortunately their child was super vocal and wouldn't stop yelling at the top of his little lungs. We looked up at Emily with desperation and she immediately said she was moving us to a table in a different section of the restaurant. Emily saved our anniversary dinner! Abe immediately came over and discretely moved us to another section in the restaurant. In fact, it was a better table with a great view of the restaurant and hearth. I felt terrible moving but it would have ruined our special night. Everything we ordered in the menu was excellent! I would recommend all. Starter; The hearth beets were full of flavor and not overly sweet. The pork belly skewers were super tender and delicious. We split the 40 day aged bone in ribeye. Medium rare, cooked perfectly. Enough for two people. Sides; Short rib fried rice. Wow, can't say enough about this fried rice dish. A new favorite! Gochujang Brussels sprouts. So delicious! Brian the GM stopped by to check in on us as well as check on the food which I thought was very nice. Brian was very friendly. I felt the food was absolutely delicious and was reasonably priced as well. I would highly recommend Pyro. Ask to be seated in Emily's section!! read more

I made reservations on Halloween it wasnt too busy. We were seated as soon as we arrived. We sat at the booth under the snake. The atmosphere is dark and moody. Great for a date night. I will say the service started off really slow it took a minute to get water. To drink we had lychee martinis which were good. I had the tiger prawn which was a new item and it was absolutely amazing the sauce, jalapeños and pickled onions all were great. I couldve ordered 2. I tried the salmon hand roll which Im not a raw person but it wasnt bad. For the entree we tried the lobster pasta I wasnt a fan sadly it was too lemony for me and no seasoning. The brussel sprouts were absolutely amazing they had fish scales I believe it was called on there it was thrown off a little because it moved but the dish had so much flavor. Overall a really cute place Id try other dishes. read more

While the atmosphere is the undeniable star of the show, the food is equally well done. The service is rather sporadic, but it's great if you aren't in a rush and want to linger. The standouts were the crab pasta, short rib fried rice, and the sticky toffee cake. read more

Came here for a special occasion with my girlfriends and received the worst service. For one, or server was VERY attentive. Second, I ordered the yakisoba and it was under cooked. Since our server was no where to be found, by the time I was able to let her know about the food, my friends were already done with their dinner. Coming here to celebrate my day and not being able to eat was frustrating. The manager did not even come and check on the table NOT once. For this to be such a raved about restaurant I would NEVER come here again. read more

Going to go ahead and slam this 5 star review down. From the service, to the food, to the ambiance...PYRO DOES NOT MISS. They changed out our plates 4 times to enjoy the several dishes we ordered. Every single dish was just flat out excellent. I went ahead and dropped several pictures to be looked through. The fried rice might be the best dish in the city. Not only that but their steak is INCREDIBLE. Date night, night out with friends, quick solo meal at the bar. This place is flat out incredible. Cheers! read more

Everything about this place is great. The food, the ambiance, the staff, the meatballs, the happy hour, the curated cocktails... just everything. I have nothing negative to say about PYRO truly.

Pyro was great for dinner, and happy hour was just as good! I have found my new favorite espresso martini, they top the drink with a matcha foam which is TO DIE FOR. The yellow tail sashimi and hand rolls were very light and great to share w your date. The chili garlic noodles were also surprisingly amazing, as the description didn't seem like much, but the flavor was amazing and the noodles were a great chewy consistancy, not overcooked. Our waiter was very helping in helping us decide on dishes, and even brought us an ube flan to help me celebrate my birthday. read more

We went to PYRO this weekend to celebrate a birthday and had an awesome experience! It's in a super convenient location--right next to The Global Ambassador, which made it easy to head over for after-dinner drinks. Our favorite picks of the night: the Match espresso martini (so good!), the Yuzu-Shiso cocktail, short rib fried rice, Caesar salad, and the Pyro cheeseburger. We didn't order too much, just enough to share, and it ended up being the perfect amount of food. The vibe was great--dark, trendy, and just the right energy for a celebration. Would definitely come back! read more

Everything was wonderful.. from the staff, the atmosphere (OMG so cool!) and the food! We shared the yellowtail sashimi, short rib skewers, each had a filet (WOW SO GOOD!) Roasted shiitake mushrooms were the best! So much flavor and ube panna cotta for dessert. Yum! I had the spicy margarita (not spicy at all imo but great) and my son had a spritz drink in the cocktail list that he loved. Out sever was so sweet & helpful (shorter black/dark hair) can't remember her name but she was great. Power went out when a storm rolled through., lights out & candles at the end made my son's bday even more memorable. read more

Wow, the food was outstanding. PYRO may be the most outstanding Asian fusion restaurant I've ever been to. I wish I had more room in my stomach. I'm glad I went with 3 other people so we could try more dishes. Stand out favorites for me were the hand rolls, the steak, the crab pasta and the short rib fried rice. I was completely over-stuffed but still wanted to keep eating. I would absolutely go out of my way to return if I have the chance the next time I'm in town. read more

I have to say, beautiful presentation but lack of customer service at the hostess stand and flavor to food. Came here to celebrate a birthday with a party of 6 and we had reservations at 5 pm. We showed up right at 5 and the host said they're getting a table ready for us. Our other party showed up within 5 mins after us and then people started showing up after us were getting seated. Finally at 5:15, I asked how much longer and the host said they're waiting on our entire party show up. Not sure why she would not let us know that when we first showed up and apparently standing right in front of the stand with 6 people is not enough to show them that we're all here? Now to the food. Truly beautiful presentation, but almost everything seems to lack flavor. Appetizers: Tuna tataki came had no flavors and it came with onion chips that made the combined flavor just bad. I had to ask for soy sauce to help give it some flavor Yellowtail sashimi - thank goodness this came out ok. I would order this again. Tuna Handroll - beautiful presentation, it was good. Main entrees; The best entree goes to the 40 day aged ribeye. Good flavor and meat is tender. Scallops a little bland and lack flavor. I would not recommend getting them. Same for the sashimi rice bowl. I was expecting it to be more like a poke bowl, but it's just sashimi on top of a bowl of rice. Sides are all ok. We had short rib fried rice which was a little too spicy and over cooked, roasted mushrooms good, but too salty, and crispy potato pave was too dry and hard to eat. Desert was ok. We had the Uber Panna cotta and stone fruit tart. Final take away, beautiful decor and presentation to food, but not worth the money to come here for the food. read more

I'm a big fan! From service to ambiance to flavor - straight A's across the board, in my book. Starting with the vibe, it's low lit and super sexy. I have been wanting to try this place, so I brought my boyfriend here while he was visiting from out of town. We ordered the calamansi margaritas and they were delicious. A perfect refreshing Summery drink. My boyfriend ordered the spocy salmon hand roll as an appetizer, which was also delicious. It tasted fresh and flavorful. Soy sauce served in an eye dropper was a nice touch and also not messy. For our entree we shared the NY strip steak and a side of fried rice. My boyfriend says this place has the best fried rice in all of AZ. I personally love the kick from kimchi in there. Our steak was cooked medium rare, to order, seasoned well and whatever that crema sauce that comes with it practically made my bf lick the bowl, lol. Will definitely add this to my return list so I can try pther yummy options! read more

Came for dinner with my fiancée, and tried a plethora of items on the menu. For drinks, we started with the matcha espresso martini per request from the server. It was decent, essentially an espresso martini with matcha foam. For starters we ordered gyoza and the tuna hand roll. Both were quite good and I would recommend them. The food overall including the cheeseburger were decent (doesn't knock your socks off), but here is where my qualms are: Our server was definitely on the slower/less personable side. Time between asking for our order/getting drinks was longer than should be for a restaurant of this caliber. A woman, who I believe to be the GM, was incredibly helpful in making sure things were coming out in a timely manner and following up on delayed items. Upon receiving my burger, I wanted ketchup but the server never came to check on how things were tasting. We had to pull a random employee 10-15 minutes after food drop-off to get it. I had no intention of writing a negative review, but rather call it a less-than-great experience and call it a day. The kicker was... after finally getting our food boxed up and paying (mind you, we are not slow pokes...), a man comes up to us and lets us know that another party is waiting to sit at our table so we have limited time to vacate. We were there for less than two hours, and not by our own volition. For a $250+ meal, please go to Steak 44, Mastro's, or Toca Madera where you will feel that it's worth it. read more

Got together with a few friends for dinner. Made a reservation as the place gets packed easily. Definitely a popular spot for food! We ordered a number of dishes, I did enjoy the hand rolls and the tuna tataki. The skewers were good as well. I thought the steak and pasta were ok. Overall good meal, noise level probably more loud than average and the lights are dimmed. I would probably come back for happy hour next time! read more

Happy hour here is underrated, they'll sell you on the cheeses burger but I could take it or leave it for the less picky eaters Can't miss the beet salad well complemented salad and interestingly done with tofu as well. Meatballs are juicy and flavor full to start the days Cocktails were all $12 and had unique touches to them that added further character - such as the bit of matcha or a few aesthetic touches with coffee beans or flowers Odd moment was where everyone left us to fend for ourselves and track down our last two salmon hand rolls. Asked 2 staff that we could even find, 30 minutes later handrolls were secured and then inspected - my seaweed was droopy beyond saving. It was a lost cause so I ate only the fresh seafood and left the droopy sticky sea weed behind. Would potentially come back here again if the service improved read more
