Zugoi Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

The place looks a bit shabby from the outside especially for what area it's located in but when it use to be sushi Kees it was still just as good and now it's grown to a much bigger capacity the food and sushi is amazing the price is not , I feel like they could do a little better at pricing all the items if I had to pick another sushi spot iid go with Junn it's all you can eat sushi and appetizers for 25 bucks a person but this place is nice if you don't want to drive to Tempe :) read more

See all

The food is good and we have been eating here for years. The service is excellent and welcoming. BUT the prices have gone way up. I stopped coming here over a year ago but forgot about the price difference. I'm thinking others feel the same way since for a Saturday night it wasn't very busy. It used to be packed on weekends. Oh well, another place off our list do to prices. read more

Stopped by Zugoi for dinner on a Thursday evening. The place was moderately busy, but that did not slow down the service. They are very fast and efficient. We sat down, and right away our drinks were brought out. Once we placed our order, almost immediately our miso and salads were out. I usually skip the salad at Asian places because I do not like the weird ginger dressing they put on top. This one I actually liked because there was little ginger and more like a vinaigrette. I wasn't a fan of their miso, very salty in my opinion. After reviewing the menu, I decided on a starter of the crab Rangoon and sesame chicken for my entree. The crab Rangoon came out and they were hot, crispy and the filling was good. They come with a sweet and sour dipping sauce on a bed of shredded lettuce and carrots. Very nice presentation. Next up came my sesame chicken. WOW! I was not expecting the entire plate to be piled full of chicken. The chicken was hot, crispy and very good. On the menu they ask you to specify whether you want mild, medium, hot or spicy. I chose mild and it was soo good. Way more than I was going to eat so almost right away I asked for a to-go box. The waitress seemed surprised that I asked for one so soon and her reaction had me giggling. I was impressed with the quality of the service, the food and the cleanliness of the restaurant. If you choose to try Zugoi you will need to bring a big appetite and your fat stretchy pants because the portions are LARGE and in charge. I will be back! read more

Zugoi Sushi - Plate piled high with a huge portion of sesame chicken. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

The pad Thai is excellent. I order it all the time. I ordered won ton soup - Nasty - sweet taste as if they included pad Thai sauce. Yuck. I read more

Wow is this place bad. The potstickers are over cooked, the hosin sauce with them is way to sweet. The vegetable tempura is too heavy and over cooked. The tempura part was more like deep fried chicken batter and the veggies were tough. The lasVegas roll was soso but needed more sauce. The shrimp in the tiger roll was a squishy and soggy mess. The sticky rice was more of a plain bowl of jasmine rice. While it was good jasmine rice, it's not what was expected. All around failure. It was rather busy when we got here, guess some people haven't experienced a real sushi place. read more

Good food, good presentation, good-sized portions, reasonable prices, quick service. I really like everything about this place, except the super old bathrooms. That's maybe a strange thing to mention, but the rest of the restaurant has been very tastefully redecorated--I like the ambiance a lot--but they skipped doing the bathrooms, and it wasn't the best choice. read more

BEWARE: MENU PRICES ARE WRONG! Food was very tasty, however, today we went in for the first time and the menus said our meals were around $14, yet when we got the bill it had the items listed around $18. When asking our waitress about it she advised the prices in the menu are wrong and the prices charged were correct. She said they updated their prices a few days ago, but haven't updated their menus. Disappointed we weren't told before making our selections that the menu prices are wrong and that when being told of what happened it was not offered to honor the price in the menu for this specific instance. read more

This experience was amazingly and surprisingly delicious! We are tough judges on Asian cuisine and my whole family ( kids included) we're happy and satisfied with our sushi, sesame chicken, and my daughter said the fried rice was the best! Great service and friendly staff!! Amy took care of us Highly recommend . read more

This is an amazing date spot! Food is spot on , service is spot on! Cathy is incredibly kind and on top of everything! 10/10 recommend!

Had the yellow curry with pork medium spicy and it was great. The dressing for the salad was also really good definitely a place I will come back to read more

Let me start out by saying I loved sushi kee. This new thai infusion sushi spot however does not match the quality. The order of Thom Kah soup was a nasty version of curry and had way too much fish sauce in it. Not to mention a heat level was not asked about and it was WAY spicy, as was everything else we ordered. The lobster crazy roll says spicy eel sauce.... it tasted like straight chili paste with vinegar and was so disgustingly spicy that you could not even detect the flavor of lobster. I ordered the sashimi sampler (said 7 pieces) for 18.00. Yikes that's high but when my plate came it had six pieces of fish and one limp little pie e of sweet shrimp. The other pieces were not superb quality one being mackerel?? Who puts mackerel and sweet shrimp in a sashimi sampler. Then also put a cooked piece of low quality tuna. Gross to say the least. Then the bill gets slapped on our table. Well we still had not gotten our scallop dynamite roll yet it showed up on our bill. Being over the experience we asked them to remove the charge as we were done and ready to go.... to which we told no you wait it's coming. So it gets brought.. worst presented dynamite roll ever!!! Tempura sticks with crab inside tossed on top of scallops and cRab slop in a pool of red grease. Nope, nope, and more nope. All too pay 100.00 including too. Never again. read more

My wife and I went there for dinner. Service was good. Food was great not a bad hidden gem for us. The only problem we had was the two guys drinking sake bombs and we're pretty drunk and loud overall a good experience read more

Great variety of sushi rolls and they are all amazing! I love the miso soup and salad complementary when dinning in. The staff is always prompt and friendly and great at suggestions for sushi. The Murphy roll is why I keep coming back!! read more

Awesome luch sushi specials,as well as other delights. In my neighborhood, always fresh and tasty. I'm glad it's close.

Dining room clean and comfortable temp. Bathrooms dirty and smelly. Attentive waitress. Over priced meals. Plan on paying $16.95 and upwards for a meal. Soup was so salty we couldn't eat it. Salad was ok. We had pad Thai. Not sure what kind of sauce they used but s it re wasn't a Thai peanut. Mongolian beef was horrible. White rice was good but hard to screw it ip. Large servings couldn't eat it all in one serving but who would want to WTH way it tasted. Extensive sushi menu. We didn't try the sushi. read more

I attend this restaurant regularly with my boyfriend. It is probably our favorite restaurant to go out to. Always amazing food and great service! We will always come back :) read more

Absolutely the best in the East Valley for sushi, tempura, bowls.and delicious soup!!

My boyfriend's mom found this place back months ago... Let's just say my boyfriend and I are regular customers. Their sashimi is always so FRESH but my personal favorite is their spicy beef pad thai! This places deserves a 20/10. Their staff is always on top of things and super sweet! read more

I have not dined in... YET! I just ordered from them on Door Dash and it was the most amazing sushi I've ever experienced in AZ, especially via delivery. It was delivered quickly and fresh. I got the Hawaiian and Kiss Me rolls. I was not disappointed and I barely needed any soy sauce or wasabi, there was so much flavor. I cannot wait to indulge by dining in soon and see what the ambiance is like. HIGHLY recommend!! read more

My husband and I wanted to try a new place in our area tonight and this place popped up! The outside of the place does not look like much at all, but the inside is done up so nicely! This place had great customer service, very clean, and a nice menu selection. I would definitely recommend sitting down at this place at some point. read more

I have used ZUGOI for carry out . I stop by on my way home from work, I've tried the special rolls. Apache, firecracker,power, viva Vegas , fresh water eel I really appreciate there food and service. Sincerely H.PORTERFIELD read more

I have eaten good meals here many times. I have to say our dinner was abysmal, and I don't mean the food. We ordered edamame, sushi, shrimp tempura, fried rice. The sushi came out first, then the edamame, then the miso and salad, then the tempura, and the fried rice. Literally all of our food was brought to our table at the same time. I have never had this kind of service at a Japanese restaurant in my life. Usually you get the miso soup and salad, then edamame when you have eaten the soup and salad, then sushi. Just trying to make room for all of these dishes was a problem, the hot dishes cooled off - really not a good meal although the food was very good. I think our server was very new. After all that food was served, we were basically ignored. No empty plates were cleared, no water refills, nothing. A $75 meal which I won't repeat for a while. read more

We always have a good experience here! The food always taste great, and they are super accommodating when we need something spicy taken out! The service is always quick and the staff is kind. They have a wide variety of food on their menu- we've tried something from each section, and have never been disappointed! read more

Nasty sushi. Service was good. But NASTY INEDIBLE SUSHI! Maybe the worst I've ever had. read more

I'm not sure why this place doesn't have better reviews! I went there on a Friday night, got a quiet table for two. We ate sushi that was really good (I've been to a lot of sushi places). Had a couple sake bombs. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Definitely will be returning! :) read more

Zugoi Sushi - from bottom to top (viva vegas roll, regular vegas roll, california roll, and the crunchy roll...) all really amazing! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We love Zugoi!! We were regulars of Sushi Kee and Zugoi has even more variety. They should invest in an insulated bag for take out orders!! Their sushi is the best in east Mesa!! read more

The service was poor and the food was quite bland. The bottom quarter of the salad bowl was filled with water. The Miso soup had a nasty taste to it. I took two tastes and didn't finish the rest. My curry had a muddy flavor to it that didn't taste anything like curry. All of my son's sushi was bland. About the only thing I could taste was the siracha. My wife's noodles were alright. The noodles weren't awesome, but at least they had some taste to them. I will not go back and plan to warn my friends to stay away. read more

4 stars because I ordered takeout and didn't get to experience their dine-in service. Food was good! I'm pretty basic when it comes to sushi. California roll & shrimp tempura roll. No sauce. Order was correct and prompt upon my arrival for pick up. I was told their online menu is very old so - be mindful of that. read more

We had dinner at Zugoi tonight. We arrived at 6:20 and were seated soon after that. Someone took our drink orders right away. Like many sushi places, there is a sushi order form on the table which I filled out immediately. We ordered California Roll and Shrimp Tempura Roll. We also ordered the Teriyaki beef dinner to share. The soup and salad come out quickly and were fine but nothing special. The sushi came out promptly and were good, but again not special. I have had much better elsewhere. The problem we had was with the Teriyaki Beef. It was as tough as leather. I thought my first bite was not indicative of the quality of the dish. It only got worse from there. By the time I had my next bite I could taste that terrible flavor of beef that had gone bad. That was it for me. My wife had the same observation. Our waitress came by and asked if we wanted a box for barely touched beef. I politely told her why we couldn't eat it. She offered to get us something else but my stomach wasn't going to tolerate it after the bad beef. They discounted our bill accordingly and we paid and left. There was good and bad. The service was prompt and the food and drinks came out very quickly. Most of what we had was good enough to bring me back again. Unfortunately tough and spoiled beef doesn't cut it. read more

DO NOT EAT FROM HERE NEGATIVE 5,000 STARS Imagine ordering caramelized yams for dessert and biting into a caramelized white potato instead. We will get to that later though. I was running some errands, saw this sushi place and decided to stop by and order for pick up. I had my german shep/Rottweiler by the name of OG Bobby Johnson with me, "Bobby" for short.. naturally he shit in the shrubs. I go inside, grab a bag to pick up and dispose of it. Upon my return i order the tuna poke for myself, sashimi sampler for Bob. And the caramelized yam dessert that's served with ice cream. In regards to the poke, they forgot the white rice. Not sure how you forget that but okay. Bob seemed to like the sashimi, as well as the poke I didn't finish. Later that night I was met with some of the most violent food poisoning I've ever had in my entire life it felt like my guts were being twisted while I was being throat punched by the devils cock. I'm remember laying in bed with my dog completely devoid of energy, tears running down both of our faces thinking this is it, the conclusion to our lives. Luckily we made it thus concluding this review. I should've left the dog shit in the shrubs. read more

Zugoi Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

There were good reviews on this restaurant on Nextdoor app, so I thought I would try it. I ordered 2 sushi rolls, CA roll, CA roll with eel. They were mostly rice, not much fish, they were wrapped in So much rice, the worst I've had. I told the waitress, that seemed like she was the owner, & she didn't seem to care about my concern. They also have Chinese food, so it seems it's not that traditional. That will be my last time there. read more

Great food and a beautiful young lady serving us. Love the lunch special! You much go and try this place out! The atmosphere is very tasteful done. read more
