    Egg rolls
    Holly C.

    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.

    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

    Crunch Roll
    Lasha S.

    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!

    Container with the soup ingredients completely dry - as they should be.

    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.

    Chicken Teriyaki Bowl
    Anabel H.

    Great central location walking distance from corporate building. Plenty of seating available in the dining area. I come here for the Chicken Teriyaki bowl is always so good and tasty and you can always add any sauces to your liking at the condiments bar. Service is a bit slow during lunch hours.

    Chicken Teriyaki Bowl
    Emily S.

    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.

    This is a photo of her, locking us in. Her face is not in the photo so I feel comfortable posting it.

    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.

    Tofu Teriyaki Bowl comes with nothing although the picture menu above the counter shows it with veggies. Total disappointment
    Zvonko N.

    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.

    Lunch at Yogis Grill
    Christina B.

    Great service and less than a block from the Footprint Center! That's right something healthy to eat and drink with quick service. I had the sushi that's hit the My husband had the chicken and beef bowl that's was more than plenty (large) with a beer for less than $15 Less expensive than arena food for sure. Highly recommend We will definitely be back!

Stopped here for dinner on Labor Day at around 515 so it wasn't too busy but great ambiance. I love the decor it's very inviting! My waiter was so friendly and helpful. I originally came cuz I saw this lobster tagliatelle dish but I actually wasn't too hungry and was going to the Drunk Pirates show after so I didn't want to be weighed down. The catch of the day was a sea bass which sounded great and over a succotash with a pork gastrique with corn nut crunch. And OMG when I say this was prob the best succotash I've ever had. Super crunchy fresh corn, asparagus, snap peas and bell peppers. The sea bass was also cooked great, very crispy skin and glaze. I'm literally thinking about it now. I also ended up getting the Lost in the Woods dessert which was a delicate chocolate mousse on shortbread with like a candied hazelnut and cookie dust. Every bite was heavenly. I wish I could've tried the other desserts too. I would literally come back to Phoenix just to eat here again.

We shifted gears and went next door to Sake Haus, and I'm so glad we did! Everything was spectacular! First of all--BEST edamame I've ever had! That tallow really adds a richness! And the gyoza had just the right amount of kick to them. We had both the hamachi crudo and the halibut crudo. They were both delicious, but the hamachi was the standout. Hamachi is usually a little too fishy for me, but this just melted in my mouth and left me wanting more. We also had one of the specials, the 808 roll. It was topped with poke, and we would not let them take the plate until we'd scooped up every little morsel! Cocktails and service were excellent as well. We definitely ended up with a pricier meal than what we'd planned next door, but it was totally worth it! I wish I'd taken pics of the beautifully plated dishes, but I was too just eating!

A few things to preface this review: 1) I…read morelove sushi and I typically steer clear of sushi in the desert for obvious reasons. 2) I lean towards sashimi and high quality fish. The service- pretty poor. I was sat in the bar at the back but I basically sat there for a good 5 minutes and nothing. I went back up front and asked to sit at the bar and it was still pretty inattentive, especially considering no one else was even seated in the front room at the time. Never got my water refilled, had to flag them down to put in more food, that sorta thing. The vibes- thought the bar was pretty lit and is prob pretty fun during HH. The food- overpriced for what you get and portion size while the fish and flavors being a smidge above average. I left still hungry after getting the gold omakase, bad and buri roll, and hamachi crudo. The hamachi was the best part of the meal but I'd still expect at least 5 pieces for the price. Anyways, this spot will hit the spot if you have a sushi craving. I can't vouch for the drinks but I assume it more than checks the box in that regard judging by the menu, selection, and vibe. But know that you're in for some trade offs imo.

The beers and olives arrived in a few minutes and the hummus about ten minutes later. Loved the red pepper flavor of the hummus. Beers were cold and refreshing. Next we decided to try the honey saffron and sumac Socca. It was unique and delicious. The ingredients truly complement each other, with the sumac bring a tart flavor to the honey saffron. We also tried the crispy eggplant with tzatziki sauce which was a standout, one of the best bite of the evening. Our last two dishes we selected were the K4 meatballs with parmigiana in a wine sauce and the grilled octopus.
