    Cali crunchy roll and a couple other rolls

    I've been coming here with my daughter about a year now and it's always consistently good, they have happy hour all day, and the staff is friendly. It's a casual place with pretty decor. The rolls are good, the food is fresh, and we usually get an appetizer and a roll or the two roll special. This is my go-to sushi place.

    Location has a good amount of space inside for seating. Restaurant is clean. Waiters are very attentive and welcoming. This is our 2nd visit with no issues or complaints. Went during happy hour, on a Saturday and ordered 4 rolls that had been served very quickly. All the rolls are good.

    Great happy hour deals, service was friendly, food was delish!! Salmon skin was a littleeee tough but enjoyed overall. Super small shop but great vibes!

    Salmon, Hamachi & Albacore
    Karen D.

    We chose Yanagi after reading some good reviews. Unfortunately, nothing was good or even mediocre. Soft shell crab was heavily breaded and we couldn't tell what was inside. Giant scallop sashimi was off color, odd texture and tasted terrible. Raw sea scallops are among my favorite but I question if we were served scallop. I ordered salmon, albacore and hamachi nigiri. I tried all 3 and couldn't force myself to eat the 2nd piece of any of them. My husband offered me a piece of his sashimi... it tasted like they washed it. So disappointing to order over $90 of food and worry about the food poisoning awaiting us.

    Happy girly with her miso and demolished Philly roles.

    This is the best sushi in the area and we have tried them all. The owners are incredibly kind and thoughtful. They deserve your business. Also, my almost two year old daughter loves their food! Definitely kid approved. She's a big miso soup and salmon sashimi kinda girl.

    Delicious and fresh sushi! The rolls are made with care and attention to flavor. The chefs take pride in their work and make sure the guests are happy :) The yellow tail and green onion roll was excellent!! The specialty rolls are unique and flavorful! All the appetizers we had were so good including the miso, tempura, and sashimi salad.

    Our local favorite stop for sushi, sashimi and sake! Keep up the good work and great service!

    Vegan specials!!
    Cecilia L.

    Saw a post by a vegan influencer that this place had great vegan options, so I had to come check it out. Not only do they have vegan options, but they also have 2 full pages of vegan menu items!! I'm so used to just choosing between an avocado roll, cucumber roll, or tempura roll at other sushi spots, so this was exciting to have so much to choose from for my meal. I got the vegan gyoza to start and the crispy onion roll and the veggie delight roll. The gyoza was so crispy and the filling was packed with flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed it! The veggie delight roll was spectacular with the variety of veggies inside the roll and the avocado and ginger sauce on top. It was so flavorful, and the sauce was the perfect compliment rather than the usual eel sauce. The crispy onion roll only had 4 pieces but they were massive (so big you have to take 2 or 3 bites). My face lit up as I bit into it. I expected it to just taste super oniony but the sauce drizzled over was sweet and created a dance of flavor in my mouth. It was like an onion ring only better! The onion had crispy outside and chewy center and then the panko crispies on top just brought it all together. I have never tasted anything like it, and even the hubby (non vegan) loved it! Hubby got the Alaskan, the yanagi roll, and the crunchy roll, and we got edamame to start. The Crunchy roll was a unique spin on the California Roll; very similar in substance, but with a delicious crunch from what seemed like a Panko-type crust. The Yanagi Roll was deliciously complex, and very flavorful. It was beautifully prepared, as well. The Alaskan Roll was Hubby's favorite; the warmth of the roll without being fully-fried was very unique, particularly considering the baked salmon. The roll also had a nice heat to it, but not such that it overpowered the other flavors of the roll. The server was great and friendly and the food came out super quick (we were here at 7pm on a Friday night and able to get a seat right away and it wasn't super busy). It got packed as we were leaving, so we just happened to get lucky when we arrived. The rolls were a little pricier than I'm used to paying, but it was totally worth it considering it wasn't just a basic avocado roll! We may have just found our new favorite local sushi spot!

    Bento box lunch
    Jessica B.

    Stopped in for a quick lunch midday and really enjoyed my visit to Yanagi Sushi. We were seated right away and our server explained some of the daily specials they had, including all day happy hour. My partner ordered the spicy salmon rolls and I had the bento box. The miso soup was very flavorful, not a lot of pieces and heavy on the broth but I really liked it. The bulgogi in the bento box was super good, my favorite part of the meal. The salad was just lettuce and a dressing but seemed fresh. The California roll was solid. My partner said the rolls were delicious and we will definitely be back to try more items on the menu.

    Place is great!, been to almost every sushi place in chandler and Gilbert Yanagi is a top choice. Amazing rolls, great service highly recommend!

    Try the Veggie Tempura Roll. You won't be disappointed.

The rolls were not bad but they also didn't stand out. The appetizer dish was huge, given that there is a charge if you waste food we did finish it. I would say if I returned I wouldn't order the appetizer again, usually for AYCE I prefer when the servings are smaller so I can order a wide range of dishes. When we went they also had discounted beer, I think this is personal preference but usually ordering a beer fills me up and I end up eating less than what I'm paying for when it comes to AYCE. If you craving AYCE this should satisfy the craving if you're strategic and stick to the rolls unless you have a large party then ordering appetizer's may not fill you up as much.

    Updated review-- still 5 stars for me :)…read more Tonight we went to dinner hosted by the Tasting Collective (a dining club I joined last year). The menu was 5 courses prix fixe designed by the head chef for this group. The restaurant was closed as a private event. Service was excellent, the food was also so delicious, and cocktails were great too. Shimogamo is one of the few Japanese restaurants in the valley that remind me of eating Japanese food in Japan. It's well prepared, fresh, and high quality. The cocktails are creative and nods to Japan with delicate flavors and unique ingredients. Our courses were: started with the truffle amberjack which is a flavor bomb, very rich and truffle forward. Which I don't always enjoy but when paired with amberjack, it was great. 2nd course was a nigiri plate- 4 choices: sea bream (which I love), a fancy type salmon, toro, and couple pieces of the wagyu roll. Next onto a darn near perfect crab croquet that was creamy with big pieces of crab and perfectly fried, and main course was K4 ranch Wagyu from Prescott. Very buttery and delicious. We ended with a matcha basque cheesecake. The chefs talked about the food, answered questions, and talked about their background. It was an enjoyable dinner and we will be back for the "oysters and cocktails" hour they were promoting. I love both of those things.

One thing to keep in mind: if you're dining with a group, everyone at the table has to order all-you-can-eat. Apparently, people took advantage of it in the past by having one person order AYCE and then sharing with the entire table, so I completely understand the policy. The service has always been good, and the staff is friendly and attentive. There are also several other options if sushi isn't your thing. I really enjoy the gyoza and egg drop soup. Otherwise, there's a great variety of sushi and sashimi to choose from, so there's definitely something for everyone. Overall, it's a good, laid-back sushi spot. It's not over-the-top or as expensive as some of the higher-end sushi restaurants, but that's part of what I like about it. You can enjoy plenty of good food, get your money's worth, and not completely break the budget. Definitely a place we'll continue coming back to!

The food is solid, plenty of choices, and when you factor in the price, the value is unreal. You can spend $30 at most sushi spots and barely get a couple rolls.
