First time, here, have not had lots of Japanese Cuisine. We were quickly seated. Ordered pork gyo appetizers, Shrimp Monsoon Roll and a lLas Vegas Roll. Very unique tastes, and each was piece was constructed as a piece of art. Service was excellent. read more

Saw this place highlighted by a Vegan influencer I follow and wanted to try it out for lunch today. Love that they have a regular full menu and a dedicated Vegan menu. The dining room itself is pretty decent size, but I can't speak to ambiance since there were only two other tables occupied when we were there. It seems chill, but I would need to come back at dinner time to see what it's like when it's more crowded. I asked our server about the Vegan specials (as indicated on menu) and she listed a whole bunch of options and walked me through what was Vegan on the regular menu as well as detailing all the items on the separate vegan menu. So definitely ask when you're here so you don't miss out on anything!! Hubby got the Tabe Ramen. He really enjoyed the dish and said the protein was cooked well and the base was not overpowering or too salty, and it was perfect lunch portion and delicious. I got the Vegan Gyoza, Vegan Monsoon Roll, and Vegan Shrimp Fried Rice. The gyoza was bomb (even hubby liked it), the monsoon roll had a flavor in it (not sure what it was) that was a bit strong, but I still ate the whole thing (just probably wouldn't pick it for myself next time). The rice was well cooked and flavorful, and the hubby said the "shrimp" tasted shrimp adjacent (I don't eat seafood so I wouldn't know), and it was ok it was just a new flavor for me that would take getting used to. It came with a vegan fried egg (again something I have never tried before), and it was very close to the real thing (even looking like it would with how the egg whites brown when cooked)! But I am excited to come back and try other items and update my review! read more

Stopped in for happy hour and was very glad I did. This place did not disappoint. The staff was super friendly and the inside was very clean. We ordered egg rolls, gyoza, vegas roll, veggie roll, crunchy rolls, and of course, sake bombers. The sushi was super fresh and well executed. So much flavor that kept my chopsticks going back for more. The gyoza and egg rolls were your typical flavors. Nothing to brag about there. The sake bombers were refreshing. I loved how a choice of small or large sake was given. This will now be my new sushi spot as it was very good! read more

First time here!! I walked in and ordered. They said it would be a 20 minute wait. So I ordered a glass of wine. Which the guy poorer extra for the wait. Very nice! But the food was done a lot sooner. I was still able to sit at the bar and sip on my wine. As I was finishing a female employee came to ask if I needed water. Very nice and needed before I rushed home to eat my food after downing a glass of wine. She wanted to make sure I made it home safe. Very much appreciated. The decor inside was nice. Modern/traditional. You could tell there were regulars in attendance. That always says a lot!! As for the food. Good quality sushi, and the Spicy edamame and Bulgogi!! Sushi fell a part a bit because it was surrounded by the hot food. Overall yummy! Totally worth the wait and we will be returning read more

This was our first time visiting. We went on a Friday evening, 5p, during Happy Hour. The place is a good size, clean and cozy and the staff is super friendly. Our waiter explained some of the items on the menu, and he even suggested we get a different menu item as we'd get more food if we did. The food items were delicious. We originally were going to get just appetizers, but we figured we'd try a meal as well. The ramen bowl had a nice touch of spice, and they give you so much I actually ate over the course of two days. The teriyaki chicken was good. My wife would have preferred a bit more sauce, but I'm sure they would have given it to us had we asked. All in, we spent about $70, including tip and 2 small Sake Bombs read more

First timer and we will be back. Clean. Great service. Amazing food! My kids loved it. Large portion for chicken katsu dinner. Sunrise roll was super yummy. Love the low sodium soy sauce on the table. Excited to see happy hour deals and the sashimi was nice and large. Excited to return and love that it's in Ahwatukee! Came for the lunch special. Got the sashimi plate. Fresh and delicious! read more

Tabe Mono - Sashimi - Japanese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

After looking on Yelp for dinner recommendations on July 21, 2023, we decided on Tabe-Mono. Get this............I have nothing negative to report! LOL It started well when I called ahead and asked about the wait time. A lady who didn't quite understand me got a gentleman to take my question. He responded in a friendly, inviting way. For those of you that read my reviews, you know I'm a hard judge when it comes to Japanese cuisine. For me, I wait until I visit California, New York, Vancouver B.C. and Japan for grand Japanese food. As for the greater Phoenix area, I think the choices are limited for us but there are a few places I'd frequent again. Cherry Blossom Noodle Cafe, Hana Japanese Eatery and now Tabe Mono. I like the food at Tabe Mono! It's true that Tabe can't compare authentic tastes to Cherry Blossom or Hana but Tabe does execute sushi rolls and tempura well! Their salmon skin roll ($4.95 on Happy Hour ) rice to filling balance was perfect. The nori was NOT chewy like the last restaurant we dined out at. Their Las Vegas roll ($8.95 Happy Hour) was delicious. So good we ordered two! The flash frying of the batter was done just right and was served with the ideal amount of eel sauce. (Not over saturated.) I also like their vegetable tempura. ($4.95 Happy Hour) It was refreshing to enjoy a light, crispy batter on the vegetables- similar to what my mom would cook. Service was attentive and polite. The other diners looked happy and a few of the regulars strolled in with their kids. This created a positive ambiance. I sipped the last of my sake as we were getting ready to leave and thought, I'd definitely return! read more

This place has been on my list to check out for quite some time, and now that I've been I'm bummed I have an already been going! You've GOT TO TRY try thlunch special! What a phenomenal deal, and totally customizable based on your tastes. Lisa was our server and did a phenomenal job with great customer service, and awesome suggestions. Ambience was very chill and comfortable, and the sushi chef was also very friendly. Can't wait to come back and bring more people to this hidden gem. And wow, I'm not vegan but that vegan portion of the menu is pretty impressive. read more

Still a great lunch spot every time we go there. It is the best Japanese food in the general area. The food is always excellent, and you can choose from a wide range of choices in their lunch specials. The sushi is really good here, if you don't order from the lunch specials, all of the rolls and sashimi I've tried here are really good. It was very quiet when we went there after the typical lunch hour had finished, so the service was also fast. Recommended! read more

I love coming here! The service is incredible (and knowledgeable), the ambience lovely and the food is amazing. To top it off, they have a couple different "adds" to the menu we generally don't see at sushi restaurants. For one there is an extensive vegan menu. The servers are very well versed in vegan and will explain to you how they make it and what is in the dish. They also have a Japanese dish called Shabu Shabu. My understanding (havent tried it yet, but next trip!) it is a broth that comes with different veggies and beef, if you eat beef, where they bring everything for you to cook at the table! How fun is that?! They are large so it is a shareable and also available in vegan. My last note for everyone is their happy hour. They have an extensive roll, appetizer and drink menu that is priced perfectly! You can try so many different rolls at a fraction of the regular price. Just make sure you get there before 6pm when it is over! Make sure to search out and try Tabe-Mono. It will not disappoint! read more

We pulled up about 30 min til closing. There was nobody else in the restaurant and we asked if they were okay to serve. The staff was more than welcoming, asked us to please come in and enjoy a meal. Not only was the service here great, but the food and ambiance were too. I also thought it was incredibly cost effective compared to other sushi spots. We'll definitely be back! read more

The service here was excellent! I wish I could remember his name, but our server was super friendly and attentive. We learned so much about this style of eating. We started with the vegan monsoon roll which was amazing! We were also served some complimentary vegan sashimi which was just like the real thing. We then had the vegan Shabu-Shabu (hot pot). It came with an excellent variety of vegetables, udon noodles, tofu, vegan shrimp and vegan ham, steamed rice and sauces. We loved it all except for the vegan ham. It just didn't seem to go with the meal. Next time I'll skip that and ask for more tofu. They have so many other vegan options on the menu as well, so we will definitely be back soon! read more

We were intrigued by their vegan friendly hotpot and menu... vegan friendly?? More like vegan family!! We enjoyed the vegan menu and the servers were very well versed on the menu and what it offers. Hotpot vegan set includes sashimi, and for the hotpot, we got bacon, shrimp, (both vegan!) tofu and a assortment of vegetables. It was so helpful that the server recommended to warm up the shrimp and bacon, because if you left it in there too long, it can overcook. It was a great tip. Everything we ordered was delicious! I was most impressed with the monsoon roll and the popcorn shrimp! Honestly, so good! The shrimp was fresh and crispy, again, it's vegan. And my husband never gets to eat sushi, yet today he was able to, and it was on point! I was so surprised the monsoon roll was vegan! read more

I will definitely be returning to this lovely gem. As a vegetarian I'm often baffled by how little creativity most sushi restaurants have when it comes to offering a few slightly better than basic rolls but I'm happy to say this wasn't the case w/Tabe-Mono. I loved my rolls! The server was wonderful and described what was in each so I went with one of his recommendations. Beautiful presentation and delicious! I loved the service as well, they work as a team and everyone was on point! Friendly, knowledgeable and super attentive, what more could you want? Both my other half and myself were very pleased with our experience. Can't wait to visit again, just wish we lived a bit closer. read more

We always go to Tabe-Mono. They have this fantastic waiter who is so friendly, attentive, and is very fast with getting us what we need/want. Try the Fancy-U roll. No other sushi places make this special roll. This restaurant is clean, beautiful inside, and is spacious. They just did an incredible job renovating the restaurant couple months ago. They also have a nice list of vegan sushi rolls, for those who aren't into eating fish. I love this place and so will you! read more

Tabe Mono - Japanese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

How this place has such high ratings is absolutely mind blowing. Do you people go to RA and think that's good too? Staff is friendly and it has a nice size, so there's that. I"m not sure they have an actual "sushi chef" or if it's just some kids that watched some youtube videos and decided they were now sushi chefs. Hey - if you make a lollipop roll, you're supposed to take off the skin...FFS. Every single roll that we got was not good and seriously overpriced. Do you like California rolls? I hope so, because the majority of their rolls are based on a California roll, for like $17. Anything that has a sauce, is drenched in sauce to the point that it's basically inedible; you taste nothing else at all. This place charges ridiculous prices for the "quality" you supposedly get. We normally give places another shot but for the $80 we spent, definitely not coming back. There are better places around here (2 across the street - Ginban and Nakano) that are 1000% better. Mido a few miles over is also MUCH better than this place. read more

Knocked it out of the park with the vegan sushi! We ordered more than necessary, but we ate like a queen and king with leftovers of the cold stuff for the next day. The vegan shrimp monsoon roll was hands down the winner. The seaweed salad on top was fresh and delightful on the roll. The golden avocado shared plate was the priciest item at $14, but each piece was nearly half an avocado with spicy tuna inside, tempura battered and fried, drizzled with all the sauces. The wings are amazing, the veggie roll and the standard vegan spicy tuna were also great. Service was incredibly friendly and they weren't busy around 5pm middle of the week. There is a happy hour menu, so take advantage of that if you get a chance! read more

Had a great lunch here. We ordered the Las Vegas roll, the sunset roll, and did the Shabu as well. The portions were great and the service was lovely.

So part of this food journey has included occasional pop ups at some vegan spots. 1. Being I'm interested in how close Vegan food spots can actually get to the real deal and, 2. I'm usually with people who are Vegan or Pescatarian. So it's a neat little adventure in its own. Last night I went to check out a Vegan Sushi/Shabu spot in Chandler, actually pretty good. Here's the diggs. Shabu Tonkotsu with Brisket and Quail Eggs - Definitely the highlight of the night and the restaurant, I ordered Shabu with Tonkotsu Broth, which came with a side of mixed veggies, Brisket cooked to your liking and 2 Quail Eggs. Fire!! The Broth was amazing, mad meaty flavor, and you cooked your Brisket how you like, Medium in my case. Some of the veggies included were Kabocha (Squash) and some feathered greens which were hella good. The quail eggs topped it off, almost having a buttery flavor. Amazing!! Must try for me here. BLCR Roll - If you're a Lobster lover, this one's it. It's a California Roll topped with a Crab Mix and Langostino, with Eel Sauce, Masago and Green Onion. Bomb yo!! OMG Roll - Spicy Tuna, Salmon, Shrimp Tempura, Crab Mix and Avocado wrapped up in Soy Paper. Topped off with a Spicy Mayo, Masago and Green Onion. Good shit. Vegan Wings and Salmon - I know, it sounds crazy right!? But it was actually pretty good. Nothing like the real deal but it came close, even the salmon. The Qing bones were mimicked by sugar cane sticks, and the made from Soy Bean. So was the Salmon but both came out fine, seriously. If you're Vegan, have to give it a go. It was different for sure but I'd go back again. Like I said, give it a try!! Deuce!! read more

My friend and I were in the mood for some sushi around the area and this place popped up at the perfect time! Looks like they closed for a while and are now having their grand opening. We were welcomed with a clean restaurant and friendly staff! They were able to get us seated right away. We decided to try some sushi and their dinner combo plates, which offered a nice variety of food. We were satisfied with everything we got. The fish tasted fresh, and the portion size of the combo plates looked small, but ended up being just the right amount (it also comes with miso soup and salad). I would love to come back and try their hot pot menu! read more

I've been here a few times and it was okay. But my most recent visit they sat us in a booth that was infested with ants. They got on me and my phone. They moved us to another booth nearby and it also had ants. It was disgusting and they didn't even apologize. We moved to a third booth and proceeded to not be acknowledged and get incredibly slow service, as if they were mad at us that there were ants in our seats?! The food was okay, the avocado in my sushi roll was brown which I didn't think was acceptable for a sushi restaurant. They also served us different foods at different times so one person was eating and others didn't have food to eat. It was weird vibes that night and I will not be back. read more

WONDERFUL DINNER! My wife and I came here for a date night and tried the shabu shabu. This was our first time ever having shabu shabu so we needed assistance with recommendations and how best to eat. We had Shinji as our waiter and he was AWESOME! He was friendly and made the experience very enjoyable. He walked us through how to best cook the short rib, recommended the pork bone broth, and guided us to the secret of cooked pumpkin. I recommend this place for a date night or casual weekday meal. read more
