Salmon and yellowtail rolls
Chantal S.

Very casual and friendly vibe- fast service! The food was reasonably priced and very fresh tasting! I tried a cucumber wrapped roll, salmon roll and yellow tail roll with an order of Salmon sashimi- all very tasty! Between 4-7 pm they have a happy hour menu with deals on sale and beer and apps/sushi.

Philly roll. Tootsie roll and viva Las Vegas roll.

So good and the service was amazing. Great price. This place was a hidden Gem, definition of a hole in the wall that you wouldn't expect, but definitely worth a try.

Sad Boy Roll
David M.

Very good sushi spot in Phoenix! Had a pleasant time here with staff and the food. I ordered unagi nigiri, Sad Boy roll, hamachi nigiri, and tobiko. Well priced given its sushi, this place gives so much fish per nigiri. Especially the unagi, I was legitimately surprised by how much is topped over the rice. Can barely bite in one piece. The real winner is the Sad Boy, with its tangy and tingly flavor, it brings a unique palette to the sushi scene. I'd go back just for it alone, but of course the portion size per piece is another win. If you go, beware the parking is really limited...I would guess around 4 spaces at storefront. But I went right when they opened at 12, so I had no trouble. I spent $50

Yellowtail Roll and Crunchy Roll
Hannah B.

Sushi in the desert! The outside of the building is extremely unassuming, but it is very clean and cozy inside. Service is fast, and the fish is fresh and good quality. The lunch special is a really good deal at $11 for two rolls or $14 for three. As an added bonus, they always offer extra eel sauce and spicy mayo when they bring your food to you.

I ordered the Dragon Ball roll I asked for it with no eel .. however they didn't include any sauces and was missing the spicy mayo on top. the roll itself like this was extremely basic and disappointing

Lunch Special!

Wow. As other reviews mentioned, close eyes when you enter the building Don't be fooled with what you get for your $$. No word is necessary. I am coming back soon!

Don't judge a book by its cover! Pleasantly surprised all around. From the outside looks of this place you'd never guess that inside was killing it on sushi. The owner/chef said he has been here for a little over a year. The service which was just him was great and friendly as he chatted us up. Pricing was great and the quality was high. The basic spicy tuna was the best I have had. Lollipop wrap roll could be smaller for one bite but that's just my preference. Overall will be back to get the lunch time specials and happy hour after work!

Edamame YUMMO

(Spoiler alert) Miguel the owner chef of this hole in the wall vibe establishment is getting some of the freshest fish in the city. The fish is flown in and goes to the fish market right around the corner from his restaurant; where he personally goes to pick out the fish. (Many restaurants have it delivered to them). We sat at the counter and had a lovely chat w him. Great selection of Asian beers!! Nice unfiltered sake. The fish all tasted very clean and fresh. Tasty ginger. Amazing spicy garlic edamame. The whole staff is super nice. I love the unassuming nature of the establishment. Not fancy. Just good food good drinks and good people. (His whole fam even came in to eat bc they come every Saturday- I LOVE THAT) Totally stoked to have this in south Phoenix. We will be back, thank you!

Xami Sushi is a wonderful addition to the south Phoenix dining scene. I picked up lunch and was pleased with everything, from the friendly service to the excellent food. Both the exterior and the interior are simple and unassuming; the interior has a small number of seats at the sushi bar plus a good number of tables in the adjoining room. The sushi chef and the server were very welcoming when I came to pick up my order. I ordered the Baja Roll, the Tootsie Roll and the spicy garlic edamame. The Tootsie Roll is a pretty common roll that you can find at most sushi restaurants, and it was well-executed here. The Baja Roll was beautifully crafted and delicious--the yellowtail was fresh and the roll had a delicate but impressive flavor. But even though I loved the sushi, my favorite part of the meal was the edamame, which was perfectly garlicky and just spicy enough to provide heat without being punishing. I wouldn't have thought I could ever be this excited about edamame, but I was. All in all, ordering from Xami Sushi was a great experience and I will definitely do so again.

Miguel the owner/sushi lover! Who brought sushi to the neighborhood he grew up in.
Ed S.

Totally Blown Away!!! Wasn't sure if it was the South Phoenix dive location that lowered my expectations, but this spot totally blew me away. The sushi was excellent, and Miguel--the chef--was an amazing host. I was heading back to the office and looking for a lunch stop when Xami came up in my search. Once I saw the location, I had to triple-check the reviews because they just didn't seem to match the location. That curiosity is what made me give it a shot--and I'm so glad I did. Definitely worth the trip, and I'll be going back for sure. I had the Sad Boy roll and the yellowtail sashimi--both were fresh and flavorful. Just remember what your parents always said: never judge a book by its cover. Huge props to Miguel for bringing his love of sushi to the neighborhood he grew up in! I am sure lots of people told him not to.

Lunch special

I tried Xami for lunch the other week after seeing their newly opened signs! The munch specials were fantastically priced and the staff was very helpful with my questions. My favorite roll was the spicy tuna which tasted fresh and had the perfect kick to it! All rolls tasted good and fresh.

Customer service ...chef's kiss ! Sky is super friendly and personable! The owner offered me a sample while I waited for my food to be cooked! It's an open kitchen so you can see everything going on! It was a 17 drive for me the Golden California roll was still hot and the baked lobster was warm! Both were super yummy. I will definitely be back! The Golden California Roll 4 Stars The Baked Lobster 5 Stars

Came here after I landed and it was so delicious. The owner/chef was super sweet and even gave us an extra dish to try. All of our rolls tasted super fresh and the crispy tuna was exactly wheat j e been searching for. It's pretty hard to find good quality sushi in phoenix and this place was pretty high up there! It's one of those spots where it's truly a hidden gem.

Just Amazing. Went for lunch and was thinking of going back for dinner but my flight was not late…read moreenough

This place is so good! Friends kept telling me to go, and now I get why everyone talks about it…read more If you're planning to visit, try to come before the dinner rush because it fills up fast. Also bring a group. The portions are huge and the food is clearly meant to be shared. Trust me on this one, bring friends. I've tried a bunch of dishes here, and there are a few I always go back to. For the table, Camarones Locos is an easy choice. The flame grilled shrimp comes out hot and full of flavor, perfect for passing around. La Patrona ceviche tower is massive and worth the order. When it hits the table, you immediately feel good about the decision. El Pulpazo is technically an entrée, but we always order it as a shareable. The octopus is grilled perfectly and it comes with rice and beans, so everyone gets a little of everything. For entrées, my number one pick is the Lobster and Crab Enchiladas with green sauce. I think about this dish at least once a week. The enchiladas are packed with lobster and crab, and the green sauce ties the whole thing together. Honestly, I could talk about this place all day. If you like Mexican food and seafood, you need to try it. Great food, big portions, and a menu that makes it hard to stop ordering.

Had a fantastic evening at Pa'La on their patio, with Randy as our server. The unique tasteful farm…read morefresh tapas menu was incredible and the wine selection was perfect! We had the Spanish peppers wrapped around halloumi and they were divine! The pork belly was equally as delicious! Other things we enjoyed was the Japanese sweet potatoes, the Spanish octopus, and the flank steak. Hard to say what our favorites were but the peppers, sweet potatoes and pork belly were prob my top picks! Will definitely be back for the vibe and the phenomenal food!!

My husband and I came here for lunch on Valentine's Day and it was fantastic! We were seated outside on the patio, it was lovely as the weather was perfect. They had many plants and trees including a lemon and grapefruit tree! We ordered a variety dishes to share like the beef tartare with squid ink milk bread, Japanese sweet potato, Spanish octopus, golden beets and roasted cauliflower. I was impressed with everything. You can taste the quality in each ingredient and I appreciate that. My husband and I agreed that the Spanish octopus was our favorite dish. It was the best octopus I've had in a while, the char flavor and slight crisp was amazing. We enjoyed the creamy sauce, artichokes, and other veggies that came with this dish. The cauliflower and golden beets were incredible too. The chef told us that the Japanese sweet potato was one of the popular dishes, but out of everything we ordered, it was surprisingly my least favorite. It was still good but everything else tasted better to me. Pa'La is a bit pricey but the quality makes up for it. I would recommend this place for people who are visiting or for a date night!
