    Red eye roll and AZ special roll
    Aliyah J.

    If you've been to Japan and miss the quality of sushi, you need to try this spot! It's a small restaurant with a dozen or so tables and sushi bar seating, but what really matters is the care that goes into each roll. We ordered the seared salmon nigiri and the fresh (not paste!) wasabi on top took me right back to Narita. We also tried the spicy edamame which probably had 10 cloves of garlic chopped up in it which was perfect for my taste! Really enjoyed this place and will definitely be back.

    We just had the most amazing nigiri here, as well as Vegas Roll, tempura, and chicken katsu! Everything is fresh with a capital F, aromatic, perfectly prepared, and delicious. The place itself is small but delightfully decorated with classic Japanese art, and the staff and sushi chefs are extremely friendly and fabulously talented. I will definitely be back, and if you haven't been, then I highly recommend it!

    I had high hopes bc of all the good reviews and May have had a bad experience because we came in one hour before closing but the sushi texture was so gross and just the chunkiest slabs of fish falling apart and my boyfriends teriyaki chicken had no flavor. We feel robbed.

    I tried out of their specialty sushi rolls and their egg fried rice. What I really loved about the roll was that it was actually spicy. The egg fried rice was only slightly above average, but they give you a ton of rice for just $8. Service was a bit inattentive, but the food was absolutely fantastic. My crony found their ramen average so I suggest just ordering the sushi when you are here.

    The food is fresh, delicious and the portions are generous. The service is wonderful. The owner makes all the sushi behind the counter.

    Yummy sushi spot. Great deal with fast service! Not the best sushi i have had in the valley but for a quick lunch spot can't go wrong! Our waitress was nice and the restaurant was nicely decorated and clean.

    Tonkatsu ramen

    My normal sushi place was closed so we ventured over here. Very unassuming entrance. Was concerning that it was completely dead at 530 pm but sat and was brought water right away. Sapporo on draft - chilled glasses were a nice touch. We got gyoza to start, with the tonkatsu ramen and red eye roll- spicy tuna/yellowtail mix. Both were very good quality and tasty. My only note is that the sushi wasn't as tightly rolled as you'd expect- the rolls kind of fell apart when you tried to pick them up. Other wise tasted great! Tonkatsu was a huge portion and tasted good. Probably won't be a staple in our rotation because of how far it is from us - but it was a good experience and the staff was very nice and attentive.

    Came here on a papa Granddaughter dinner and it was everything we hoped for. Excellent food, superb service and a nice atmosphere. Both chefs came to check on us twice. New go to for sushi.

    The previous restaurant at this location was Sakana, but we hadn't returned after they downsized the space. We discovered Yellowtail Sushi and Sake by accident while browsing Google and Yelp and decided to give it a try. Interestingly, the previous Yellowtail was located on 83rd Avenue. As we walked in, we were impressed by the beautiful wall paintings. The restaurant isn't very big, but the high ceilings and bright lighting create a warm and inviting atmosphere. We were seated at a table for two, which felt a bit small for the large serving plates. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. We ordered raw oysters, uni nigiri, uni handrolls, soft shell crabs, chirashi, omakase, and OToro sashimi. Every single dish was incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious! The prices are very reasonable, making this spot a fantastic find. We're so happy to have discovered this hidden gem and are excited to return to try their Happy Hour and lunch menu!

    Chirashi sushi.. Ain't that pretty?!
    L. E.

    well, it's official. My kid -who is super picky with a capital PICK- has just given Yellowtail Sushi 10 out of 10 stars! She loved the chirashi sushi and yellowtail kama. tender flaky fish was tasty. Great happy hour prices and the staff were super attentive, engaging and very nice! Stop in for a great meal :)

    The Sumo Roll
    Norma N.

    The Big Sumo Roll fresh tuna, salmon, avocado and some other great ingredients rolled in a soy paper was the Bomb! Fresh and tasty. Definitely will be back. The wall paper on the walls is very vibrant, the waiter was on point very friendly. The sushi chef was very customer oriented and enjoyed his job. Great atmosphere for the entire family.

    This place is one of our favorites. We love the service and the chefs there. They always greet you with a smile and a friendly hello. The food is phenomenal. It's definitely worth a recommendation.

    Very impressive wall mural!
    Nelson L.

    So great to see an old favorite return! And definitely worth the wait! Great first impression of an open dining room with a great wall mural that sets the tone for the delicacy that awaits... You know it will be an enjoyable meal when Sapporo is available on tap! But wait, it is served on an ice cold pint! Just perfect! Other selections are available as well as house wine and sake. We started with Spring Rolls, Shrimp Tempura, and Vegetable Tempura. Light, crispy, and delicious! The boat sushi sampler is the way to go!! Eel, sushi, rolls, sashimi, the works! Add some sashimi salad and fried rice on the side for a great compliment. Service was fast, efficient, and friendly. Looking forward to our next visit, which I have a feeling it will be real soon!

    So happy to have found a legitimate place for real & fresh sushi in the West Valley!!…read more Previously I would be subject to driving out to Sushi Sen in Scottsdale for sushi/Japanese food. Haru is a nice alternative that is much closer and offers an omakase plate that rivals some of the best sushi you can find in Torrance/LA. The pricing of this omakase is steep at $70 for 8pcs of premium fish plus a toro roll but worthwhile for a special occasion or to get your fix. Pricing on their happy hour seems pretty reasonable as well which is most weekdays until 6pm. Pricing on the rest of the menu is fair but doesnt quite exceed expectations in terms of value for money, especially compared to Sushi Sen. My mom, who is an incredibly tough critic, really enjoyed the soft shell crab tempura and said it wasn't oily or greasy. I have to agree. I enjoyed their "tuna cracker" which is like spicy tuna crispy rice at most other restaurants. I've already been back a second time within the same week and will probably be back again within the month. Highly recommend!

    The food is very good. The fresh fish is exactly as it should be- fresh. It didn't blow my mind,…read morethough. The service was fine and met expectations. Let's talk about the prices. Some of their specialty rolls are $50/roll!!! I repeat- FiIFTY American dollars per roll. I don't know that I've seen prices that high even in Scottsdale or Las Vegas. There's no reason that this casual sushi spot should be charging like they're off the coast of Japan in an elite cliffside restaurant. The food is very good, but it's not "I need to finance this meal", $50/roll good. Also.. I asked for the WiFi password (literally titled "Haru Sushi Guest") so I could work on my laptop if needed, just to be told they were not allowed to give out their WiFi password out to anyone (even the staff aren't allowed to use it). Kind of silly to be gatekeeping something as simple as WiFi in the year 2026. I would have loved to make this my new working lunch spot, but between the egregiously high prices and the WiFi witness protection program, I'll be skipping it next time.

    I have been a Yama Sushi fan for some time and just hadn't had the opportunity to write a review…read more My Yama Sushi journey first began at the Phoenix location. I really enjoy the ambiance and service there, but learned quickly that with larger groups the Peoria location is best for us. One of my kids graduated from college last week and he wanted to celebrate. All he wanted was to have sushi and to celebrate with our relatives who came from out of state. We didn't know if it'd be doable since we were on the other side of the valley. We called, gave them our party size (12) and eta. Low and behold, they were able to get us a reservation. We get on the road to make it to our reservation 0745-0800, they close at 1000pm worse case scenario we get there by 0800 and we still have a good amount of time for the AYCE 90 minute experience. We get there and they have a sign out for the AYCE, last call 0830pm. We go inquire about the last call and our reservation being at 0745. They reassure us that we would still get the full 90 minute experience. At about 0800pm they tell us our table they thought would be available is not available, they say individual parties instead. A guy comes out and tells us that the time frame they gave us was an estimated time, we let him know that was not what were told, but we also got a text confirmation. He tells us, well the Weather is nice. We can accommodate you outside. We agreed. They got the tables all settled and we're about to sit down. The same older man tells us, that the last call is 0830PM, ummm what? They tell us well we can try and get everything in, but the last call is at 0830. You can stay until 0900, what?! I let him know that was not what there hostess had told us, we told him they said we'd still be served and given the 90 Minute experience. He said well I don't know why they told you that, I am going to have to go let them know that is not the case. It's now well past 0800pm and restaurants are closing soon and we are a large party. I was incredibly disappointed at how everything was handled, and how easy it was for the gentleman to just dismiss and shrug his shoulders like oh well. I was incredibly disappointed at how everything was handled, and how easy it was for the gentleman to just dismiss and shrug his shoulders like oh well. What was supposed to be a special celebration for our son's graduation turned into unnecessary stress and disappointment. We made the reservation based on the information their staff provided and planned accordingly, only to be told something completely different once we arrived. Had we been told upfront that they couldn't honor the full AYCE experience or accommodate our party as promised, we would have made other arrangements. After being loyal customers and recommending this place to family and friends, this experience made it clear that customer service and honoring commitments are not a priority. Unfortunately, that was our last visit For reference, when they sent the last text, we were already onsite.
