I think I finally found my new sushi place that's super close to my house and very tasty! I'm glad I came across this place, the service was amazing and they even offer happy hour EVERYDAY. Normally at other sushi places when I order off of the happy hour menu, I usually can tell that they're cheaper rolls since they're smaller and lack in flavor. This is not the case here at Sushi Ave - their happy hour rolls are full size and packed with flavor. The servers constantly checked up on us and even gave us a free roll for messing up our order without us asking. They are very attentive and their efforts definitely didn't go unnoticed. I'm excited to come back here soon!

My first time dining here, and I was pretty impressed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a smaller restaurant, but it didn't feel cramped.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have happy hour all day, which is a good deal. The rolls were tasty and the service was friendly and professional. Their signature rolls were bigger than traditional, which was a pleasant surprise! I'm always a fan of the Las Vegas roll, and theirs hit the spot. I especially loved their mango roll; the mango sauce is *chef's kiss*. The salmon sashimi was good as well. Decent sized cuts. The roll menu is quite large, so it was hard to choose only a few for dinner. Will certainly be back to try more~

Sushi Ave.... Sorry major mark missed on the Crazy Lobster roll. Also on the menu, "all day happy hour" and you get a regular menu. But only order off the happy hour menu? I was so confused. Please make 1 menu, stop the confusion! Crazy Lobster roll, says " crab mix, lobster tail, avocado roll....What was crazy, I am not sure it was lobster, langostino lobster (crayfish) maybe. Is was not a lobster tail it was more like the spicy crab mix chopped to death I am sure it was spoiled. I couldn't eat it. Now there was a star of the show, the mix tempura: hot, crispy and delicious! Edamame was also a disappointment, look at the pictures. Cleaned? No. Prepped? No. Flavor? No. Hawaiian shrimp....nothing Hawaiian about this fried shrimp dish. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a sewer smell toward the back. Faint but there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They possibly had the sushi counter but took that out, bottles are covering the sushi station.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I fely like I was down a Sushi Alley in the alley...[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice little sushi spot Gilbert.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have happy hour daily, but it's not the greatest happy hour prices compared to other sushi locations. The sushi is fresh, decent size portions and service is good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not the biggest restaurant but the food yummy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely worth the stop of you are in the area.

Hello hello, Welcome to the New Year and my first review of the year, this is our second trip here at Sushi Ave. Jen & I were out doing some shopping and Jen suggested we get a bite to eat so this was our choice, I had the Spicy Ramen Noodle Bowl which is very good and not spicy at all, it is a good portion size and has all the goodies in it Yum, Jen had the Las Vegas & Lobster Roll and was delicious, the service was good and asked a couple times if anything was needed . [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was nice & clean and well decorated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff was good and continued to do a great job on checking their guest. So with that stop by and give them a try, [[HIGHLIGHT]]FYI the weekends are busy and packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Enjoy

I've heard good things about this spot and finally tried it out and it did not disappoint! I ordered for carry out and got a spicy tuna roll and a Las Vegas roll. The spicy tuna roll actually had some good spice so that was a huge plus! The Vegas roll was great and had that lovely crunch to it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I arrived to pick up my food, it was decently crowded. You can tell people enjoy coming here and I can't wait to dine in![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining area looked very nice and there were families enjoying dinner as well![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff was attentive and helpful. I'll be coming back to enjoy their happy house menu as well!

They have a cute little parking lot right out front. The location is a little funny right next to an auto part shop and a gas station. The restaurant inside is medium to small. It was cozy. They had lanterns at the front and looked like pickled ginseng and other roots in jars at the front. Their service is quick to greet you and let you take your time to look at the menu. I liked being able to take my time to look at the menu. They were ready to take our order right after we finished looking over the menu. We got their beef bulgogi and rice entree that came with miso soup and salad. The salad seemed fresh with a soy sauce dressing. It was just lettuce. The miso soup didn't have much seaweed in it. It also didn't have any tofu in it. It wasn't hot and it got cold early in the meal. We also had the spicy tuna and the dragon roll. The dragon roll was good with avocado on top of a slice, tuna on top of a slice, salmon on top of a slice, yellow tail on top of a slice, shrimp on top of a slice. The California roll portion tasted fine too. The spicy tuna tasted a little off. I liked the ginger that tasted typical of ginger. The food came out fairly quickly. I thought it was good but not enough to come back for this particular set of choices. My expectations might have been too high having had a entree at their sister restaurant. If I were in the area or a friend wanted to come here, I would get the dragon roll.

Salmon Sashimi, Spicy Scallop Nigiri, spicy yellowtail handroll

I have been trying new places around me for sushi, and Sushi Avenue was on my list because of the good reviews it had. I went in for lunch on a Monday. It's right next to an autoparts store and there is plenty of parking for the two businesses there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was not busy while I was there, only a few other people (I am sure lunch time is slower).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The hostess, who is also the waitress told me I could sit anywhere. She brought me the menus and then walked away, without asking if I wanted anything to drink. Once she came back, I ordered my food and my drinks. For my first order, I got salmon sashimi, spicy yellowtail handroll, and spicy scallop nigri. The salmon sashimi was delicious, very fresh. Now the spicy at this restaurant, is very very different for me than any other sushi place I have been to. It was more like a paste (thicker), and it was really spicy. It was too spicy for me and I honestly didn't love the flavor of the spicy either. I ate the spicy scallops and the spicy yellowtail fast, to get the heat out of the way quicker. I needed to order something non spicy to get a better sense for the other things on the menu. The waitress just brought me the check when she saw I was finished and I had to ask her to see the menu because I was going to order more. I ordered the rainbow roll (which is on there happy hour menu!) and the crunch lollipop roll (with no sauce). These rolls were much more me! The rainbow roll was a good size and simple and fresh. And i really enjoyed the fried roll with all the fish in it (that it was something different than just a fried las vegas roll). It was a little hard to find some things on the menu that didn't have any spice... I was just nervous to pick anything that had the spice at that point, so I am glad I found and loved the two rolls I ordered. Overall, there sushi is good, and they have a great happy hour menu! But the spicy flavor and the service just wasn't what I would like.

Second or third time having sushi Ave and I'm always happy with my order. I have only had delivery so I cannot comment on the service or ambiance but the quality of the food is great. I ordered the New York roll, sushi ave roll and chicken wings. Both rolls were very flavorful, creamy, and salty. I love the crunch and creaminess of the cream cheese and sauces they use. Every bite was delicious. The chicken wings were nice and crunchy after I threw them in the toaster over. Very good quality and tasty with the breading they use. I enjoyed the dipping sauce it came with as it gave the wings a whole new burst of flavor.

My wife tried to put in a take out order tonight. She called at about 7:30 PM and was assured that they close at 9:30. So, she called back at 8:30 and was promptly put on hold for about 5 min. When they answered, they stated that they were closing early for the night and were not taking any more orders. My wife explained what she was told an hour ago and requested to speak to the manager. Whichever employee was on the phone immediately hung up. I attempted to call back but it kept ringing and went to a voicemail that was full and was not allowing any more messages. This was our first time taking a chance on this place and I don't see how I can justify trying again, at least not with the low level of maturity their employee showed on the phone tonight. read more

We found this place on yelp and with such great reviews we decided to give it a try. Happy hour is beyond yummy and cheap! This is now our go to sushi place. What made it the best was last night. My husband, daughter and I all went. My daughter asked to eat at the sushi bar to watch the chef make the sushi. He interacted with my curious little 6 year old the entire time. Showing her what goes on what sushi, what he was doing and each step. She felt so included and loved it. The chef also interacted with us the entire time and it was awesome. I wish we grabbed his name. This place never fails to let us down. Love it! read more

When i went inside the restaurant to pick up my order, I waited in line patiently waiting for my turn, but none of the 2 Asian waitresses ever asked me if I've been helped. Then this other customer, who happens to be white, who just walked inside the restaurant towards the counter and all of the sudden the waitress asked the guy if she could help him, ignoring me, who was ahead of the line and I happens to be Asian. This infuriates me, because I've never experienced such thing being ignore or whatever you call it being discriminated in my life. The worst part is, it is from fellow Asian. So I called the lady's attention I was here first. And by way, the soup that we ordered spilled inside the bag because it wasn't packed property. The owner of this place should train their employees proper customer service treat everyone equal. I will never come back here again. read more

We've come here quiet a few times and the food is awesome but what this restaurant lacks is customer service. Every time we come here the service is awful and most times we are ignored until we flag down a server. It's not a very big restaurant so it's not like they can't see us. Tonight we had to ask for our simple Edamame appetizer after watching 2 other tables receive several of their sushi rolls. Although we love the food here we will not be returning, I understand places are understaffed but this was simply being ignored.

The spicy tuna on crispy rice is perfectly done every time, with just the right crunch and spice, and the spicy edamame is seriously addictive. I've also tried the tempura, shrimp tempura roll, miso soup, and several other rolls, and everything I've ordered has been fresh and delicious. You can really tell they take pride in the quality of their food. It's quickly become one of my favorite sushi spots, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great sushi, awesome specials, and consistently friendly service.

I ordered both and I honestly couldn't even finish the Baja roll. Cheap fish, canned fruit, almost no sauces.

The restaurant is fairly large, and seems like a lot of people like coming here for family/friend dinners. Like the name insists, the teppanyaki is the way to go. Their menu isn't that large, so it was pretty easy to make a decision. I opted for the filet mignon (rare) along with shrimp. Teppanyaki is really more of a show/experience, so the food comes out to you in sections (versus all at once like at a traditional restaurant). The filet was so soft, and was perfectly rare, and the shrimp was so good. I think in the future I'd eat a whole plate of shrimp. I also got to try the yakiniku, and that was also pretty good but very sweet. Their Boo Yah Ka roll was also pretty yummy. It's essentially a spring roll, but with some spice and citrus to it. I felt that the portion was good for a large meal, but my friend who got the chef's combo definitely had enough for leftovers.

We arrived a little early, so they told us we could sit at the bar & have a drink. We sat there for 15+ minutes & the girl getting things ready for the bar totally ignored us. Right before we were seated someone else took our drink order & said she'd bring them to the table. Hubby got a beer & I got a Tito's & cranberry juice. We ordered an appetizer. While we were waiting they sat another 4 with us. We all expected dinner & a "show", but none of us expected the show we got. One of the staff started screaming at another staff member. We had no idea what the female staff member was saying since her words were not in English. She was so loud & screaming in the bar area so the entire restaurant could hear her. A couple of staff members tried to claim her dow. This went on for several minutes. It was crazy. All us customers were silent & just looking at the girl screaming & yelling. The next thing we know, round two. It was unbelievable. What was even crazier was they didn't send the staff member home! No one came over & said a word. No one apologized or said anything. After all of this, they sat couple with us. Finally the chef came to the table. By this time it was 20 til 6:00. Hubby got the filet with fried rice. I got the shrimp with fried rice. The food was good. However, hubby's steak was over cooked. Thankfully, hubby told the chef he wanted to change the steak from medium to medium rare, or it would have been even more over cooked. I also watch all of the employees but one prepping the food without gloves. This used to be our go to place for, but now with all this issues this time, we will probably have to find a new place.

I noticed that the main menu had a line at the bottom that stated a gluten-free menu would be available upon request. I did ask to see this menu as gluten-free is my dietary preference, not an allergyand I was brought a complementary gluten-free bun instead of the pretzel bread. I thanked our server and told him not to worry that it was just a preference and he told me that he treats all gluten friendly requests as an allergy. I really appreciated the care and concern he had for my health and well-being. This is unprecedented at most restaurants. They had a very extensive gluten-free menu and I can't wait to go back and try so many more items. We did try the Leonard burger and made quite a few modification requests - all of which were 100% accommodated. This burger was so incredibly juicy!

At Joe's Farm Grill, the quality of ingredients does show in every single dish you get. Another thing to mention is, when you're done ordering your food at the register, they are pretty fast regardless of how packed the place is which pleasantly surprised me! For the onion rings, I liked them for a few reasons. Starting off, the onions weren't soggy by any means which I love in a good ring, batter wasn't the majority of the ring which is also a great sign, and lastly the crunch was very nice with them coming out fresh. The Fontina burger has a great beef patty that carries its flavor by how clean it tastes alongside the mushrooms that are the other biggest taste factor for this burger. Finally, the baby back ribs were the star for me personally because you can actually taste the pork for its quality. I usually expect a super sweet sauce that bogs me down after with ribs, but these ones left me feeling able to still go on about my day which I love. They aren't shake off the bone tender but I liked the gentle chew they provide. Overall, I recommend Joe's to anyone who cares more about the ingredient sourcing and quality while enjoying a nice family friendly vibe for a lunch/dinner. They have a great outdoor patio seating for times when it's not over 100 degrees.

Hidden Sushi Gem Sushi Ave is located at 866 N. Higley Rd., Gilbert, AZ 85234. This hidden gem teleports patrons to a dim lit, sophisticated sushi bar in Asia. Immersed in the cultural décor and authentic food one can get lost in pure delight. Open for lunch or dinner, great for families, singles, or couples, Sushi Ave offers fantastic sushi and atmosphere that is hard to beat. When I dined at Sushi Ave this past week, I began my food adventure by enjoying fried rice and edamame. Next, I ventured forward with the Jalapeño, Crazy Lobster, and Las Vegas rolls. Even though we did not order dessert, my taste buds were tantalized once more with a complimentary dessert of a beautifully sculpted orange topped with whipped crème and chocolate. Their menu offered a wide variety of entrees to please every palate. Besides the delicious cuisine, they make patrons feel at home with an option of keeping their personalized chopsticks at Sushi Ave. Thirdly, the customer service is great. As soon as patrons enter, they are greeted by the host, the waiters, and the sushi chefs. They create a friendly and welcoming environment not only with their personal greetings, but also with their continual smiles and courteous service. This makes the experience even better. Unlike most sushi restaurants, their prices are more moderate which makes enjoying sushi more economical. If patrons are seeking a taste of culture and desiring a fabulous sushi experience, then Sushi Ave is the best choice. From ambiance, customer service, and cuisine, Sushi Ave excels and impresses. Gilbert's hidden gem is worth finding. read more

It was my typical Friday afternoon. I had finally finished my end-of-the-week errands and ended up with some free time before I had to go to work. So, I decided that I should treat myself to one of my favorite type of food, Sushi, and luckily I stumbled upon Sushi Ave, conveniently located down the street from my home. I walked into the cute little place and ordered my typical lunch, pink lemonade, edamame for appetizers and the Las Vegas roll, which was surprising cheap. The waiter was friendly, a twenty-something year old looking shy and nervous, as he took my order. After a couple more minutes of sipping on my lemonade and happily munching on my edamame, the waiter brought out my freshly made roll. Oh boy did that roll look particularly beautiful, everything was well proportioned so that it could fit perfectly into my mouth in one bite and when I did, I enjoyed every single flavor. All in all, when the waiter brought my bill, I signed that receipt smiling and even though my bill was for ten dollars, I easily tossed in an extra five just for the heck of it. Sushi Ave will probably be seeing my face again. read more

Took my mother-in-law to lunch here last week. She had a combo roll that had salmon and eel and I had a soft shell crab roll and crunchy california roll. Price ranged from about $6 to $12 per roll on what we ordered. We also had some green tea ice cream for dessert that we really enjoyed. We thought the food was delicious and my mother-in-law even said she thought this place was better than her favorite sushi place in the bay area (Nothern California) where she is from. I will definitely keep this place in mind when I have visitors from out of town who wants to have sushi, not to mention go there myself when I have sushi cravings. Prices are reasonable and has a nice hip ambiance to it. The location is a little obscure (between a bank and some auto place) and I really hope more people will find this and keep them in business. read more

I love this place! It was my first time here and I'm so impressed with their sushi and roll selection as well as their lunch and dinner options! We got potstickers that were crispy and delicious! My mom got the fried rice with chicken and got a salad and miso soup included. The salad had a yummy soy sauce-like dressing which was so good! I got the traditional California Roll as well as a Tootsie Roll and they both were so good! Service was awesome! At the end, we got complementary dessert oranges. The waitress gave me one with honey, since I can't have whipped cream or chocolate - which is what my mom got on hers! My honey orange was delicious! I love everything about this place.

IDK why people don't like this place. The service is definitely lackluster, but you really don't…read moreneed much of it because you're eating sushi off a conveyor belt. (As a result, I also don't tip 20%.) Food is solid, and inexpensive compared to other sushi places. I love that you don't have to order a whole roll, so it's a great place if you're not super hungry, or want to try lots of different things. The hardest part is being patient!

Sushi was meh, but the service was a complete disaster. We sat there for about 10 minutes without…read moredrinks, menus, wasabi, ginger, or anything. I finally had to flag down a server just to get the basics. On his way out, the guy next to us told us to double-check our bill when it came. We should've listened. At that point we were so done with the experience that we just handed over our card without looking. While we were waiting for it back, our server somehow gave our card to another table and charged us for their meal instead of ours. Thankfully, another server stepped in, voided the charge, and fixed it. Also thankful the couple who got our card were honest enough to say something, because that could've turned into an even bigger mess. After all of that, we got a quiet, half-hearted apology and that was it. Mediocre sushi, terrible service, and a careless mistake with our credit card. Def do not recommend.

I have been coming to Zushi for years. I feel they have the yummiest Las Vegas rolls, which are my…read morefavorite, and I have had many varieties at different sushi places here in the valley. They are also a pretty big size, which is nice! They have a teppanyaki area that I have never utilized, but I have seen families enjoying it. I love their crunchy roll, their salt and pepper wings, and the Murphy roll is to DIE for. So delicious. Always hot and fresh. The waitresses/waiters have always been very nice. They did an update to the inside of the restaurant as well in the past few years, which was badly needed. They re-upholstered the booths and updated the decor and it's much nicer now. They have a great little bar area with TV's up so customers can watch the games. They also have outside seating, which is nice in the Winter/Spring months. I also want to add they are next to THE cutest gelato place and bakery/pastry place which is so nice to get a treat at after. Give them a try!

A pretty unexpected and relatively cheap find in East Mesa! We got the menus a few months ago at…read moreour house when the restaurant was just opening. After reading a couple of the reviews back then, we weren't very enthusiastic about trying it, but the reviews seemed better so we gave it a shot and it was a good experience. We ordered crab rangoons, chicken dumplings, veggie spring rolls and two seafood ramen bowls with miso broth (after we confirmed that the broth has no pork at all). My husband picked up the order within about 20-25 minutes of ordering. The bill was about $45. Everything tasted good. All three appetizers were in a paper bag together and the sauces were on the side. Favorites in order would be: chicken dumpling is the best, then the crab Rangoon then the spring rolls. The ramen bowls had very good flavor. The miso broth worked really well with the seafood and the toppings and wasn't thin or watery. The seafood mix was imitation crab, shrimps, and muscles and we found a seasoned egg hiding in the broth which was a nice "free" surprise. The toppings were bamboo shoots, corn, green onions and bean sprouts as well as sesame seeds. All in all, a good restaurant with a solid 4 star take out experience. We will be retuning when we want a quick ramen fix in the area. Next time, we will try the spicy beef ramen with miso broth.

Finally got a chance to try this place... Seems there are several other ones and had mixed reviews…read more Some people complained that prices was too high... To me it seemed average.. I had donkatsu ramen.. $9.50 and got extra noodle for $2. Soup base was pretty good. Garnish seemed little small amount.. The noodle was most disappointing.. I don't expect them to make fresh noodle everyday.. But definitely had the straight out of the package taste. Over all the ramen was pretty good.. I would come back and try some other dishes.
