While traveling in Phoenix, I've been missing Japanese food and was happy to find Yogi's Grill on 1 Washington Street. It's a small, cozy spot with both indoor and outdoor seating--cute and welcoming. The staff were friendly and helpful. I only saw two people working--the cashier and the chef--and I was genuinely impressed by their level of commitment on a busy Friday night. If there were others working, they weren't visible, but service never felt lacking. I ordered the full-size crunch roll and a chicken/beef teriyaki bowl to go. The crunch roll was so good. If you're not familiar, it's made with imitation crab, shrimp tempura, avocado, and topped with a satisfying crunch--definitely the star of the meal. The chicken/beef teriyaki bowl was just meh for me. The meat was a bit dry, but still decent overall. I'll absolutely be back--mainly for more rolls! read more

Okay, credit where credit is due. I gave these guys hell earlier today for, what turned out to be, no damn reason. Story time. No TL;DR for you! Read. It's good for you. My husband and I visited on 11/21/25 @ ~2pm. I've been sick for a while and it's been a couple of days since I've been able to eat anything substantial. My go-to cure-all in these situations is a big bowl of noodles swimming in broth. My husband and I were in the area and we decided to stop by. Every other Yogi's I've been to has been awesome so why should this one be any different? Cue the husband returning to the car with a worried expression. He tells me, "Babe. I don't know what's up with this location but I asked for extra broth and they just mixed everything in a single container." My immediate thought was, 'Oh hell no.' Nausea be damned. I was NOT about to go back home with noodles that would not be the spongy texture they should be. Side note: I have a thing for only wanting to eat noodles at their proper texture. Weird, I know. But, oh well. Anyway, I walk in and let the person at the register know that this is a to-go order of soup and I would like to have the dry ingredients separate from the broth. This person looked at me confused, trying to understand why this psycho in front of her is asking her to have the staff in the kitchen do something that's already been done. Remember, I'm still under the assumption that these noodles have been mixed with the broth. I'm deluding this because that's what my husband told me happened - so I reacted. You know, the way a rational person would? So this poor worker then tried her best to communicate to the kitchen staff the same nonsensical request that I'm demanding of her. They don't understand either so they come out and ask me to clarify my request. So I did. I asked them to remake the soup to my preference because I didn't want to go home and sit down to some soggy noodles. They obliged and basically remade the same damn order that I walked in with. I could hear some very familiar Spanish obscenities being murmured, and maybe they came from other customers. But, honestly, I deserved them becauuuse... When the person at the register grabbed my order from the window to the kitchen, she asked me to check it to make sure it was correct. It was then that I saw for myself how this miraculous container, this gift from God, was already pre-fabricated to keep the noodles separate from the broth. You know those memes where these mathematical symbols appear over a person's confused expression? That was me in real time. Now it was my turn to be just as confused as they were and all that borrowed energy I was burning through just escaped me. The staff politely gave me my order and I left. Here are pictures of the soup. As you can see, it is packed perfectly. Taste wise: 5/10. The broth was a bit too salty for me and it didn't have the same depth of flavor you can expect from other locations - specifically like the location at Tempe Marketplace. However, they went above and beyond what I would consider great customer service and for that they deserve all the business they can attract. My sincerest apologies to everyone there who had to put up with me today. You all are not paid enough to deal with that. But thank you for your patience and accommodation. I will be back again. read more

Stopped in for lunch today. Ordered on the app. There was a convention in town so the restaurant was packed. I ordered in the app for pickup and it was about ten minutes late but they were slammed. First time trying this place and was pleasantly surprised. The food was good and the presentation was what was expected. I will be back read more

In a word... meh. The good: The location is central and easy to find -- it's right by my work, so it's convenient. The food is usually decent (though I've had a few real misses). Today's katsu bowl was actually really good! So, points for that. The egg rolls, though? A hard pass. They were greasy, bland, fried but somehow still mushy? and forgettable. The not-so-good: There are a few things that make this spot a struggle. First, the layout. The line to order moves quickly -- they usually have 2-3 people at the registers -- but once you've ordered, you're just... stuck awkwardly standing in the middle of chaos. The waiting area overlaps with the drink station, sauce bar, trash bins, and the rest of the line. It's cramped, messy, and stressful when it gets even a little busy. Second: the prices. I paid just over $20 for a bowl, a drink, and egg rolls. For that price, I expect something that feels a bit more worth it -- better flavor, better portions, or any kind of experience that feels like a step above average. This just wasn't it. And finally, the service. A guy blatantly cut in front of me in line, and the employee said nothing. When I finally did step up, I wasn't acknowledged for several minutes. No apology, no greeting -- just a lackluster "what can I get you?" when the person finally decided to speak to me. It left a bad taste in my mouth before I even got my food. Bottom line: Yogis works in a pinch if you want something fast and familiar, but I wouldn't go out of my way for this location -- and I definitely can't recommend it with confidence. read more

I tried the chicken teriyaki bowl at Yogi's Grill. The portion size was good and it was pretty filling, and the rice was cooked perfectly. Overall it was just okay though--the chicken was a little chewy in some parts. Not bad, but could have been better. read more

Food was delicious for sure. So for dates and attempting to get buns this will be a smooth quick place to take her. This is right near the convention center in downtown Phoenix. As a plant eater it's best to get the pepper steak, tempura, and veggie roll. You will be pleased. Textures and flavors on point for the proteins. Think 2 steps better than the mall Chinese. 7.7 out of 10 read more

Apparently, we got there before closing and there was a very mean very extraordinarily rude employee. They don't wear name tags so I can't call her out here. She wouldn't let people use the restroom even though it was 15 minutes before closing because she had already cleaned it. And then exactly at closing, she just told everyone they had to leave even though they let them order food. It's not like we knew when they closed. It's across the street from the Footprint Center and a bunch of tourists were just there trying to find something to eat. She also locked the gate to get out of the restaurant with a bike lock. People were still eating inside. Some people hadn't even gotten their food yet. She made a big fuss that we asked her to unlock it so we could leave she should not have a job. I ordered the Katsu chicken and it was actually OK. read more

Tofu bowl comes with nothing but rice although it's pictured with vegetables in the photo menu above the counter. Super disappointing, tastes inedible. I asked about the vegetables and was told I had to ask for them while ordering. I was given an option and I thought I was getting what I pointed in in the picture I wasn't offered any vegetables as a result either. read more

If you are catering for a large group, Yogi's Teriyaki beef and chicken is a crowd-pleaser every time. Their savory Teriyaki sauce and tender beef and chicken are a favorite for many of my teams.

Highly recommend We will definitely be back! read more

Ordered a tofu teriyaki bowl with brown rice and veggies for delivery. Tofu had a nice light crisp to it. But the vegetables could've used some seasoning or could've been stir fried. The tofu bowl didnt have the teriyaki sauce or sesame seeds as pictured on the food app, so I called the restaurant. They were kind enough to have someone from the restaurant deliver the sauce separately. Appreciate the prompt action to correct their mistake! 5 stars for Great customer service! read more

Cashier hector was amazing and helped l! Thanks for helping us decide what the best choice was

I've eaten here a few times when I was working downtown and since DT has its dining limitations, I tried it out. My orders have always been hot and complete. Taste was satisfactory and I feel the price reflected that. Now that I no longer work downtown, I would not seek this out to eat. read more

Example of terrible customer service. The "district manager" even called and said the same thing in addition to "they pay me a lot of money, and $50/$70 is going down the drain for 20mins." David "the district manager" also called me a liar and confirmed he called me a liar because "there's no way the cashier misunderstood me. read more

excellent service, speedy order and fast takeout time. workers are very nice and easy to talk to Endi was a great help in understanding the menu and prices read more

Food is fire but the portion size is offensive. Felt like I got a kids meal. Won't be coming back , gave them 3 chances.

This is based off the Uber eats order I just got right now. I ordered the teriyaki chicken bowl asking for extra extra extra sauce because there is never enough with all the rice you get. Also in the restaurant they allow you to add as much as you want. But with take out they will nickel and dime you because they can. Just opened my order and I got one tiny cup of sauce! Damn it! This order would serve as two meals for me but now I'm going to use the one sauce I got on this meal and what's left will probably go to waste. In these crazy times when restaurants are struggling to stay open you should take care of the customers that picked you for their meal. I definitely will not order in food to go/delivery from yogis again. read more

Fast and can definitely make many options a healthy option. I was pleased with my adjustments and how easy it was for them. Thank you!

Don't you love ordering a chicken teriyaki and they don't even add teriyaki sauce worst service and food ever

Wish I could give 0 stars. I have been to Yogis grill since they open in AZ mostly in their Scottsdale location where customer service has always been excellent. Today avery different story. Rice taste like dish soap. Manager came out and said I don't believe you. Nothing I can do about thats how our teriyaki sauce taste like!!!! "Soap?" And it was the plane rice no the sauce. Manager said you can request a refund because at yogis thats how we do things. Which I know very well it is not true. We didn't ask for a refund we asked for rice to be replace. 14.00 dollar plate. And all we ask is for plane rice to be replace. read more

Great eats, convenient service. It was really close to go after the game. Love the chicken teriyaki bowl. Wife loved the sushi!

Wow was I impressed with the cleanliness of this location! We decided to stop by for dinner before the Dbacks game and I'm so glad we did. We were quickly greeted by the cashier when we walked in. We decided to order three chicken bowls, one beef bowl, three drinks and one miso soup. The miso soup was delicious! Nice and hot! The chicken teriyaki was so good and it was not at all dry! The beef teriyaki we did get though, was very very low on beef. We literally received like three little pieces of beef on our rice. Sad, since they do charge more for the beef. Tables were clean. The employee was very friendly and when we asked her if we could join two tables together, she was nice and said yes. Thee are plenty of tables inside and there is seating outside as well. I LOVE that this location has more then plenty of condiments out!!!! This is the first location that I've ever been to, where they provide extra condiments and different sauces! Oh and most importantly, it was super clean! We had a great experience just please add more beeeeeef!!! read more

Pros: The serving of the lunch special bowls The price is reasonable The presentation of how the food is put together The staff is helpful The location downtown Phoenix The guacamole was so fresh!! Best part Cons: The rice is a tad bit to dry both times i came to visit read more

Yogis Grill - Chicken avocado bowl - Japanese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Came here because I was staying in downtown and I thought maybe I should grab something fast but I regretted it as there are better options around! I got the chicken katsu bowl and I wasn't impress at all! It just filled my hunger. The food wasn't that great and the chicken was ok. I didn't finish my food just ate half because I was hungry and in rush. I'm not sure about other foods they serve but this item wasn't that great! I guess it works if you're in rush and you want to grab something faster but trust me you'll have better options in the area. The tables can fit upto 2 people and it's not great for business lunches unless you sit outside which is hot right now. read more

The food is alright but there is little to no cognizance around food handling - specifically the cashiers. I watched a customer sneeze into his hand, give his credit to the cashier, the cashier then proceeded to take the guys card (without gloves) and inspect someone else's food after touching the guys contaminated card. Considering we're in a national pandemic, I won't be going back here. read more

Yogi's Grill is conveniently located at Cityscape. It's a great spot if you need a place to eat before or after a downtown event or if you are here for a conference. The food is reasonably priced with a great menu of Asian food. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The owner is very friendly. There are vegan and gluten free options. It's also under new management. read more

This place is a joke. The cashier (blonde man) is so ridiculously lazy, it's mind blowing. I've been here several times with him slamming stuff around because he's in a bad mood. Tonight, I came in at 7:20 & ordered food. ALL of the teriyaki sauces were gone. When I asked for sone, the cashier responded "oh yeah they're kinda put up for night...." & "I'll have to get it for you", he then precedes today STAND OVER US as we used a nasty sticky bottle to get our teriyaki from. Then asked for spicy mayo, as there was none out for us either... he responded with "oh yeah that's put away for the night too""..????? What?!? Is the sauce only available before 7pm? Other than trying to "close up" before the end of business hours, there's not excuse for this. I come here once a week, but not again. This guy is awful. read more

Fantastic service and friendly staff. Order of 15+ items and everything was correct, labeled, on time and DELICIOUS!

I overall flavor is pretty good. I ordered the chicken teriyaki I enjoyed the sauce, but they don't give as much meat as I would like, so you may want to order extra. The grilled vegetables were just ok, they had way too much squash? In it, would have been nice to to have more broccoli and cabbage! I also ordered the shrimp and vegetable tempura which tasted ok. I would go here again, it was ok, except for the price, with having to order everything separately making it kind of pricey! read more

My family and I stumbled upon this place on Friday and I'm so glad we did! The food is bomb! I'm so happy with this discovery. The food is freshly made and great quality.

Stopped in at the lunch rush. Man do they move bowls. The line was long but it moved quickly. This is probably my favorite location of the 3-4 I've been to. I went with my classic favorite Teriyaki Chicken, Brown Rice, White Meat with spicy sauce and a Ginger salad on the side. The meals are always consistent and the staff is super courteous. I recommend this location and will always come back. read more

I've noticed that majority of the people who eat at this specific location are the people who work in downtown coming in for lunch. Do yourself a favor and come here over any other food options in downtown. Like most places in downtown, it will be busy but you'll be able to come in and out of here quicker than any other place guaranteed. If you get the lunch special and pair a chicken/beef teriyaki bowl plus drink it should take you 5 minutes max from the time you walk in to the time you're out of there with your food. Best option to go to especially if you're in a rush. Not underestimating the food either, it's really good with a big menu read more

Chicken and tempura were reheated and tasted like a dirty grill and old fryer oil. California rolls were not chilled and tasted like they were made yesterday. Staff seemed annoyed to be interrupted from sitting in the dining area and didn't even say hello. Dining area was barely clean and smelled of disinfectant. We will never be back. read more

I ordered the Shrimp Tempura and Chicken Katsu via Uber Eats. The shrimp was perfect sized, easy to eat, and tasted great. The Katsu was equally delicious with a large portion of perfectly done chicken. The sauce was a little sweet for me and I think some green onions would have also made this a wonderful dish. For quick Japanese, I was impressed. Again, the crispness of the chicken was excellent and in large proportions. That is a definite plus considering I can get two meals out of this dish for around $12. I will order take out from here again. read more
