The sushi was good and I liked that they had a full bar. They were out of miso soup, which isn't the biggest deal but it was a cold, rainy night and a bowl of miso would have been perfect. Unfortunately the miso thing was disappointing and kind of tainted the whole experience for me (I know, dramatic. But it was SO cold!!). Overall I'd say it's more of a 3 1/2, but I'll most likely return in the future. read more

A coworker recommended this place to me and I decided to go after work on a Friday with my parents. We all loved the sushi and the atmosphere. The service was also very good. I ended up taking a friend for a casual dinner the next day! This will be my local sushi place for now on. read more

Where do I begin. I cannot speak highly enough about this place. First the customer service is outstanding. The owners are highly attentive and make incredible sushi rolls. Second the pricing. Absolutely fair. Not like some sushi restaurants that have higher prices. Third the food. Holy smokes are the rolls good. I mean GOOD. The loys roll is bomb. So is the McQueen roll, tiger roll I could go on. Their entire menu is very well put together. Highly HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this place. read more

Love the people, love the food! My boyfriend and I get sushi from here at least once a month if not more!

Least favorite sushi place. The nigiri sushi resembled rice meatballs topped with a sliver of tuna. The rolls came with absolutely no garnishes and were very heavy on the rice. Only four kinds of nigiri sushi is available with the all you can eat option, tuna, salmon, white fish, and crab (fake). Lots of rolls to pick from but most are just variations of a CA roll. I'll skip ever coming here again! read more

We have had a lot of sushi before, but I have never had nigiri like this, it was as if it was the first time they had ever prepared it. They were big square rice with a tiny piece of fish on top. Looked nothing like nigiri should and the fish to rice ratio was so bad we couldn't taste any fish. I was embarrassed for them, hopefully it was their first time. read more

Sushiiiiiii!!!! =) So I've been to this Sushi place maybe twice now. Came here yesterday because my friend was craving Sushi. Both times I've been there it's been a pretty quiet night. Not really busy at all. I thought the service was really slow, especially since we were the only ones there. Plus the Sushi was also a bit pricey for my taste. Especially since it wasn't the best Sushi I've ever had. We spent almost $70 for the 5-6 rolls that we got! I got the Philly roll which was good as well as the Baked Scallop California roll. I loveeeee baked scallop so I had to try it out. I thought the rolls were a bit over priced for mediocre Sushi. Although, they do have a happy hour menu. We didn't really see anything that caught our attention though. BUT they do have specials on beer and Sake if that floats your boat. =) Also, they have all you can eat Sushi for $19.95. On a brighter note, we got pot stickers and watermelon on the house since it took a while for us to get our order of Sushi. Another plus was that it was down the street from my house. Which is always good in my book. =) read more

Please don't get the shashimi or nigiri. I can't speak for the rolls since I didn't get any, but I can only assume that's where they get their decent rating so you can definitely take my review with a grain of salt. We got an order of chirashi and an order of chefs choice and we couldn't barely eat any of it. First, it stank of fish which isn't a good sign from the beginning. Most of the fish was either chewy, stringy, or otherwise inedible. Super unfortunate since we don't get sushi very often, it's typically our "special treat" after a stressful period of time. The best thing in our entire order was the tempura asparagus. Great batter. read more

Do you wanna roll? If you answered, yes, c'mon over and roll with Sushi San! Rolls go for about $10 and some of the better ones go for about $14. One thing I appreciate about this place is how fresh the fish tastes. My party of four ordered five rolls. Notable Rolls included: Mountain Roll Caterpillar Roll Mountain Roll was one of my favorites since its sushi piled with raw tuna and salmon on top. Its spicy, its sweet, and the taste makes you want to come and eat more. I'd say any of the rolls do taste deelish. Next time, I'd opt for getting a sushi boat just to see how all the different ones tastes like! Service is nice, but be warned, sushi isn't cheap, but it is one of the better sushi places around the Phoenix area. Enjoy! read more

I leave 1 star reviews only when absolutely deserved, and this place deserved it. I have eaten at dozens of sushi places over the years and this was certainly the worst so far. Food - 1/5 stars. Ordered salmon, yellowtail, and albacore and a special roll. The salmon was half frozen. The yellowtail had a fishy taste. The albacore I could not finish due to it tasting NOT fresh and it having a strange texture. Service - 1/5 stars. Waiter is ok but the sushi chef literally ran off while I was sitting at the bar. I was the ONLY person there. So very awkward. Atmosphere - 2/5. Decor is ok but there is a somewhat rotten scent as soon as you walk in. That almost made me turn away but I made the mistake of not doing that read more

We absolutely love sushi San! Every roll we have tried has been fantastic we always eat way more than we should because it's so yummy! Our favorites are the booty booty roll, hurricane roll, island roll and cherry blossom roll. The service is great too they always remember us whenever we come! We just went for a birthday and they brought out the cutest dessert. We will continue to be regulars :) read more

Sushi San - Birthday dessert - Japanese Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

This Place is good. Will I come back, sure. Often? Probably not. I have a loyalty to Taiko. Sorry. The service and food were good here but its a little pricey. I love when places have a good deal. I will give them another shot one of these days when I'm down for some all you can eat. As much as I would love to try their signature dishes I feel like I would burn through my wallet real fast. Their deep fried rolls had something off about the taste not sure if it was the batter or what but it tasted different and not in a good way, but nothing I couldn't handle. Just off. read more

Service sucks and for the $$ not worth it. One time is enough. Not coming back . Review your price and please hire servers . Not everyone can be a server. read more

Came here last night based on the Yelp reviews and upon arrival, it looked promising at first glance. The restaurant was clean, staff was friendly, and it was nearly a full house. We grabbed a seat at the sushi bar. Took a few minutes for us to get menus and our drink orders taken but nothing to get worked up about. They had roll specials on the conveyor belt but we opted to order off of the menu. We ordered the following: 1. Tuna jalapeño poppers: although the batter was light on these, it was a bit rubbery, wasn't hot when it came out, and was a bit bland. 2. Hamachi Kama: was cooked a solid 10 minutes to long and was super tough by the time it hit our table. The ponzu that came with it was also watered down and too acidic and no daikon? 3. McQueen roll - fish seemed fresh enough but the roll was bland 4. Spicy scallop gunkan (sushi)- surprisingly fresh and tasty!! The rice had a nice chew and the nori stayed crispy! Would order this again. 5. Salmon skin hand roll-generous hand roll, fish was fresh, and again, pleased with the texture of the rice and nori!! The service and food was slow but the wait staff was friendly. Not sure if I would come back again but maybe in a pinch we will! read more

I love Japanese food and it can be quite difficult to find a good sushi place where the fish is very good and more importantly very fresh. However, everything here at Sushi San was delicious as well as fresh. My husband, my sister in law and I got the Sushi Boat and shared it. We got an assortment of sushi as well as rolls, which where all amazing. I love the fact that it is a family business and the whole family is working there, they even offered us some rolls and tuna sushi (which was delicious by the way) It was my first time and I will definitely be back! It's nice to have a good sushi place in town. read more

Sushi San - Sushi Boat! - Japanese Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Love this place. Can't explain why, it just has a vibe my wife and I enjoy. Dark, hidden away, good food.

Food is average, service is not great. As soon as we ask about the "all you can eat" the waiter changed his behavior to the point that we almost got up and left. It's almost like he did not want us to order the "all you can eat", and he started treating us like we are some sort of second class customer. He's a deal, if you don't want to serve "all you can eat" don't put it in the menu! read more

Walked 20 minutes to this place only for them to close an hour earlier than their close time. Not good customer service!!

Really good Sushi! I went for lunch, and was happy that it was a very chill vibe in the place. They have a very long sushi bar, and plenty of booths and tables. It was a lot bigger than I expected. The menu had a lot of variety. I liked that they had tamago. I had that with smoked salmon nigiri, and a spicy yellowtail roll. Probably one of the best spicy yellowtail rolls I've had. The tamago was a tad dry, and I think I prefer Sushiya's, but I'm always happy to see it on a menu. The waiter also brought out some miso soup and a salad for me while I waited. The salad could have used some kind of dressing. Maybe they forgot, but either way it was a nice thought. I will definitely go back! read more

I love Sushi San so much :3 The quality, the taste, the choices, the sake, the service, the atmosphere. Everything. The employees are the best :) I always try something new and I always enjoy it.

Came to this spot because I just moved to the area. It's always risky trying a new sushi place but Sushi San did not disappoint. I ate inside it was great. You get a free miso soup and the decor feels like a great mom and pop sushi place with photos all over the ways. The sake could have been warmer but still tasted great and will definitely be returning! read more

Split a sushi boat with 3 others. Good variety and quality for the price. For $45, you get 4 full rolls (cali, shrimp tempura, las vegas, and spicy tuna) and an assortment of sashimi. We originally came here to try out the AYCE but our lack of appetites and the limited choices of the AYCE changed our minds. I like the ambiance and the big wipes they provide. I wasn't in love with the TV programming. Cartoon network has super weird stuff nowadays They provided free miso soup before the meal and watermelon afterward! read more

This place has the worst possible customer service. My fiancé and I went here on Valentine's Day and when we walked in they didn't even seem to care that people were coming in and just yelled "sit wherever you want" so when we sat down I ordered a mixed drink and the waiter told me "we're not making those right now because we're too busy". (There was maybe only 5 other tables that had people, they were not even close to busy) I felt like it was unprofessional to even say that? And every item we tried ordering first he kept saying "we're not making that right now". Finally after waiting for so long they brought my fiancé's food out and I didn't even get mine until 10 minutes after my fiancé had finished his meal. Our dinner could not have been worse. And they are way too expensive for their quality. Do not go here unless you like having awful customer service. read more

Great service, chef now knows us and always throws in something extra for us to sample! Lobster king roll is our fave!

It's more of a 4.5 stars I would say. The service in itself is spectacular. The waitress was very pleasant and would joke around with you. I'm not sure how common it is here, but they gave a LOT of freebies during the meal. In all, they gave an extra roll, deep fried veges, miso soup, edamamae, and watermelon to finish things off. I was stuffed by the end of the meal! Didn't see that coming! Of course, don't come to this place expecting so many freebies. Treat them as special bonuses during your meal. The sushi itself was above average I would say. The rolls were stuffed with so many ingredients that I couldn't really enjoy the taste of the fish, but that was my fault for choosing them. They were tasty for sure though. The place had a very fishy smell to it when I entered which is very uncharacteristic of a high quality sushi place. read more

I love to try new sushi places and let me tell you this place wasn't a mistake! The decor is so cute lol I love the feel of the whole place. The sushi is made in front of you which is nice to see. The restaurant is nice and relaxing. The employees were super nice! Went there on a girls night and was treated so well! We were given complementary edamame and oranges (don't know if they do that to everyone). My friends and I bought 3 rolls. Shrimp tempura, California roll, and Phoenix roll. Best choice! Not only that the price was reasonable. Usually sushi is a little pricy but at Sushi San the price was right lol I would recommend this to everyone who likes sushi and I plan on going there again! read more

Sushi San - Miso, California roll, shrimp tempura, and the Phoenix roll. All so tasty! - Japanese Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

This is my favorite sushi spot in Arizona. I have been living here for almost 10 years and I have never had such great, fresh fish so well prepared. The menu is full of variety and it has so many tasty options (including spicy options for the AZ native.) I have been seeking the same roll as their Booty Booty roll for years, as they only really serve this kind of roll in Vegas and on the coast. This place is the first to place it on their menu and has been around long enough to know fan-favorites. The staff is very friendly and attentive. They render service with a great attitude, not unhappily like most restaurants. They offer great suggestions as well. The owners are also very considerate, caring people who take pride in their work. They have had their restaurant for some time and it is family owned locally. The restaurant is always clean and it is always decorated very nicely with little knick knacks and some atmospheric scenery. Otherwise it is an excellent place to eat and one of the best, most affordable sushi restaurants in the valley. read more

Pretty decent sushi but definitely a place that 1- tried to get you to leave sushi leftover so they can charge you and 2- use less ingredients. Not all of the menu is even available for the AYCE. The dragon rolls had tiny pieces of eel and huge amounts of rice. Wouldn't come again but it was decent. Service was pretty fast. read more

I ordered take out roll it was expensive but big and good I will try them again because they are close

Really cozy place and super nice people. Good sushi and they gave us some extra food for free. Def would go back! read more

This rating is for the delicious sushi and sashimi! As others have already mentioned, it tasted fresh, and the rice was cooked right (not soggy nor too dry). Hubby and I found Sushi San simply by driving around one Friday night, and went in at around 9:30. By the way, they're open til midnight. So that's good to know especially if you're hungry after getting off work late. There was just the two of us at that time. The service was prompt, and I can't speak to the service had there been a full room of guests. I read about the rude service but our experience was really good. I loved the Small Sashimi plate, which consisted of about 20 cuts of fresh fish. We also ordered a few rolls and they were all delicious. Sorry I didn't jot down their names. I also didn't think to take pictures as I was exhausted and hungry and dealing with some things (I know I digress) related to our very ill guinea pig being hospitalized that night. I think they're well-worth giving a chance. This is a surprisingly good find in the area. read more

I used to come here often when I lived here. The food was always great, the fish fresh, the staff friendly as all get out! The restaurant itself was comfortable enough to be cozy without being claustrophobic. I even had my own in store chopsticks! I'm sorry that I am never in the area any more. They treated me amazingly well. read more

Not fresh. Overpriced for the poor quality. Sushi should be maintained at a much colder temp to be safe. Service was slow.

I for one like the sushi a lot. This is our second time coming back. The first time we loved the sushi a lot, try the booty booty roll, but I'm guessing it's a family restaurant because they yell a lot to the younger waitress and made it very awkward. I'm sure they must of said something rude about us because she also got very awkward. We decided to give it a second chance and once again the sushi was amazing but the service is not as great. Maybe this is due to the fact that it's a family restaurant and they talk to each other like this normally but it's kinda awkward when your just a client trying to enjoy some sushi. Anyway I'm probably going to get some sushi to-go once in a while. read more

I was excited about going to dinner here, the reviews looked so good, a friend told me how much they enjoyed going so naturally i was happy about going. But their review of this place couldnt be any more wrong. People who enjoyed this place are obviously not real sushi lovers. Cause this isn't sushi. It was rice with bits of fish. Small bits. I wanted to get the all you can eat, but the waitress gives you a stern warning about how anxious they are to charge you for the pieces you don't eat. So i asked "what about rolls you dont like" she said "we charge you 1.00 per piece you don't eat" so now im less excited, and when it got to me, it was all rice. A lot of rice. I did not enjoy this place at all. There are a lot of choices, this one is now really close to the bottom. I will not be going back. EVER. read more
