    Really good Food great customer service. I love this place already. First impressions is always the best. Open late and keeps the food fresh.

    Beef Pho Fresh Noodle Soup
    Christine N.

    Okay, so I was ready not to like this spot especially considering how awful parking is here. As well, I generally notice that Vietnamese spots that only do English menus aren't that great. However, I was so pleasantly surprised and impressed by their pho. The broth was super clear and tasted just like mom's home cooked pho. The meats were tender and veggies fresh. I also ordered their mango lilikoi drink, which was sweet and refreshing. I wasn't particularly a fan of the order then seat yourself to be served after style, but the servers and cashier were friendly and the food was good which mattered most. The place is clean though a little on the small side but there's outdoor seating too.

    Iced Vietnamese coffee

    First it might be best to walk, take light rail or ride share app to get there due to difficult parking. I was very fortunate to find a spot right in front. You order at the counter then take a seat and the friendly staff brings the food to you. I ordered vegetable pho and ca phê sửa da which was very good and of generous size. The pho broth lacked richness and possibly salt but the vegetables were fresh so overall I enjoyed it and give it 4 stars. 5 stars for the iced Vietnamese coffee. The decor is nice and the environment is clean and tidy. This restaurant is locally owned.

    Came here after a night of drinking with friends and it definitely hit the spot! They are open late and food came out very quickly! The cashier was warm and friendly. Since this place is near a university, it was open late and quite popular. The broth was decent and they even accommodated extra noodles for my husband. It is a little on the pricey end but that is to be expected.

    Beef Pho

    Fastest wait time ever, delicious Pho and boba! I come here all the time. The tables and decorations are cute too

    The pho and shrimp spring rolls are extremely good, definitely my favorite place to get Pho. The only thing I don't like abt this area (and it isn't their fault) is the parking but expect it to be like that anywhere near Mill Ave. I do really enjoy this spot tho! The ambiance is chill and the service is very good

    Pho Veggie
    Donn O.

    Went to this cute place while visiting my daughter at ASU. Convenient location with lots of parking in the back. We ordered the vegetable pho and boy was it good. Vegetables came on the side with a spoon chopsticks and plenty of napkins. The broth was a perfect combination of savory and salty. Everything was fresh. The decor was modern with a huge TV on the wall showing still shots of exotic locations around the world. There was table side service and our plates were cleared promptly. When in the mood for pho don't pass this place up.

    Parking can be difficult here. We parked on the street with metered parking. Food itself was okay, nothing extraordinary in my opinion. Compared to other pho establishments I thought the broth was alright, somewhat sweet. Will say it's next to ASU and open late so that's great.

    Fresh Alley Vermicelli Noodle with Korean BBQ ribs on the bottom, Spring Rolls up top and Ube to the right of them
    Colton G.

    My lovely girlfriend and I decided to DoorDash some dinner last week on 10.30.25 and I told her to browse through my saved stores on it and let her pick someplace out. This was what she wound up picking and I'm glad she did! I've been here before, once with a buddy of mine, and though I can't say much about the inside of the place as I don't remember too much about it, it was a nice serviceable, chill little spot in downtown Tempe and I'm sure it's a great spot for college students to go and lounge/eat at. The DoorDash we got consisted of Pho fresh noodle soup for my girlfriend with a side of the beef spring rolls, and vermicelli noodles with Korean BBQ ribs for me with a side of egg rolls and an ube drink. The ube drink was absolutely delicious and was probably my favorite part of the meal, with the Korean BBQ ribs being my second favorite part. I believe in ube supremacy, that shit is a holy elixir. The taste of the Korean barbecue wings was exquisite as well, and the noodles were pretty solid but nothing too crazy. I will say it gave me 0 stomach issues after eating so that is an absolute win in my book. My girlfriend loved the fresh noodle soup, and the egg rolls were delicious and their sweet and sour sauce was amazingly tasty! I put my noodles in a bowl with some of her broth and it definitely elevated them in terms of taste, their broth is served like a warm hug from a loved one, it is very refreshing and smooth. Overall we like this place and we will more than likely DoorDash it again in the future or maybe we will stop in next time we're in Tempe, we'll see. Solid spot that I'd recommend to anyone living nearby or any ASU student

    Pho shrimp
    Sarah S.

    I ordered the food by DoorDash, and it was very tasty. I got the shrimp fresh rolls, shrimp pho, and starry lychee. The fresh rolls were ok but not the best I've had. They were smaller than usual and difficult to chew, but the peanut sauce was nicely flavored and thin enough to dip or pour. I liked the zingy flavor of the peanut sauce. The pho was a nice generous portion with lots of extra sauces that i requested. The shrimp was plentiful and fresh, but some of the salad ingredients could have been more fresh. The starry lychee was delicious!

    2 Piece VEGGIES Spring Rolls
    Curtis G.

    It's busy after 8pm because all other Pho restaurants close and it is open until midnight. The Pho is good with good size portions. They have small sides though. If you order a side of vegetables it's not worth it. Good place to eat in or take out. Lots of other items on there menu too. Parking can be a problem there. Next to ASU so if you're walking it's a great location.

When we walked in it had a very fishy smell, so it kind of made us second guess our choice. But we went for it anyhow. The greeter/server was very pleasant and sat us. It was very clean inside with ample space between seat. We browsed through the menu and started with our usual edamame and pot stickers. The edamame was salted well throughout where a lot of places just put the salt on top only. We ordered a couple varieties of sake which were both good. Out of all of the things we ordered the karange skewer was just a little more oily than were use to, but still good. The spicy salmon roll had really great flavor and the lollipop roll was probably one of the better versions that we have had. The musubi was giant to say the least, it was good, but offered a bit too much rice. Overall the food and service was great and we were very happy that we ended up here!

We were nearby for a show, and decided to stop in on a Wednesday evening for a late dinner with some friends. They have a good happy hour menu, and my friends ordered off there, but I was craving sushi so I got the nigiri omakase. It came with miso soup, which I enjoyed, definitely hard to go wrong there. The sushi itself was decent, nothing crazy, but definitely better than grocery store quality. The tuna and salmon pieces were a little fishy, maybe not the freshest, but it was also quite late (~10pm) so I wasn't expecting too much. Beautifully presented, and the cuts were quite large which was nice! The food came out pretty fast, and the service was pleasant. The restaurant vibes are pretty dark, and moody. The bathroom was kind of scary personally, super dark and a little messy, so I decided to wait till I got home. Overall, a solid experience, and definitely a good choice if I am in the area.

If you're not a fan of strong flavors, I would recommend asking for lighter seasoning on some dishes and a little extra water in the soups. That balance worked well for our preferences. Unfortunately, the service did not match the quality of the food. During the hour we were there, the restaurant wasn't busy. There were only a couple of tables being served, yet our drinks were never refilled, our table wasn't bused, and our rice never arrived with our hot pot soups even after our server asked if we wanted it. It seemed to be forgotten. What really stood out was that we ended up eating dessert with a table full of dirty dishes still sitting in front of us and empty drinks that had not been refilled. I also noticed that the table next to us appeared to receive much more attentive service. Their drinks were refilled, their dishes were cleared promptly, and staff regularly checked on them to see if they needed anything. In comparison, our table received very little attention. I don't know why there was such a difference in service. It left me wondering whether we were being treated differently, though I can't say for certain. Overall, the food was excellent, but the service was disappointing and significantly affected our experience. (Server was Dhillon T.)

We were very sceptical at first but the recommendation was spot on. We were seated right away and our server Bela approached immediately. She was very friendly and went down the menu telling us all about the specials and her recommendations. We needed no recommendations because we were there for one thing the Bei special. The special was an assortment of various rolls assembled beautifully making each piece stand out. The first bite was divine and as we worked around the ring of rolls they got better and better. The sauces brought perfect harmony and complemented the fish. The sushi was incredibly fresh not having the fishy order lingering. The rolls melted in your mouth like butter leaving you satisfied. It was so good we placed a second order. Bela stopped by frequently checking on us and also telling us about the restaurant and the area and provided a friendly atmosphere that you do not often get in northern Midwest. The Spider Roll was very good except for the sauce on top that did not suite our palate but after removing the sauce it was fantastic. The Hot Mama Roll was also amazing. The flavors went well with the Yuki Mango Nigori Sake. We also tried some of their beers and spent a while catching up. Belas service was second to none and made this reunion fabulous. The sushi at Bei was better than 95% of our sushi restaurants in my state and the price was very good. They also have a cute cat robot that delivers food! Thank you Bela we hope to come back again on our next trip to Arizona to try more food.

It includes miso soup, 9 pieces of nigiri, a mini poke, and a 5-piece roll -- such a fantastic idea if you're undecided and want to try a bit of everything! I think it's a splendid option, especially for first-timers or anyone who wants a complete tasting experience without having to choose individual items. If I could change one small thing, it would be the roll selection. I wish there were an option to choose from the specialty rolls instead of only the basic ones. That extra flexibility would make the experience even better. Overall, the quality of the food was very good, and the overall experience was enjoyable. It's definitely a place worth visiting, and I'll certainly be back to try the curry and ramen next time!

    SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS…read more El Tataki Sushi Fusion 1410 E Southern Ave Tempe, 85282 I must confess I have never been to a Japanese Mexican restaurant in all my travels. Mexican food is almost unheard of in Japan and Japanese food is almost unheard of in Mexico, but here it is folks. Companion and I went for lunch and ended up eating supper there. I began by ordering edamame with garlic. I loved it. Edamame is one of my favorite snacks and I had never had it with garlic on it before. A nice twist on a favorite food. Companion ordered a vegetable tempura while I ordered a shrimp tempura. Whoever did the frying certainly knows their art, as all of the tempura was absolutely fried to perfection. The veggies were al dente and the shrimp were large (about 3 inches long) and very tender. Most shrimp tempura in other places is overcooked and the meat is much tougher. The plates came with a number of onion rings on them and once again, they were perfectly cooked. Companion also ordered pork gyozas. They were perfectly cooked as well. I wanted to try something from the sushi bar, so I ordered Unagi (eel nigiri). They were perfectly made with the proper amount of eel sauce on it along with ginger and wasabi on the side. Portion size was good and flavor was excellent. In Japan when the brutal heat of summer comes it is often said, "Doyo no Ushi no Hi" which means have you had your eels today. With this being the second day of summer, it was certainly appropriate to order them today. We also ordered fried rice and that was the only part of the meal that neither of us enjoyed. The rice just didn't have the right flavor or texture. After each of us had some we left the rest. Finally, it was dessert time. Also time for something that neither of us had ever had before - Fried Cheesecake. Our waitress Ximena brought out a huge, towering chunk of Cheesecake which was surrounded by whipped cream and had chocolate sauce and strawberry all over it. Wow! If you go there this is an absolute must to order. Probably several thousand calories, but who's counting? It was outstanding. This was a thoroughly enjoyable meal which because of portion size we could not finish. The place is immaculate and the music and lighting are most suited to the younger crowd. Date night perhaps? 5 stars

    This place was on my "want to try" list for a while, and I'm so glad I finally did. Everything we…read moreate was unique and flavorful. We loved the pulse and vibe of the place. It's more of a date night kind of vibe but it was a great stop for us for lunch. Loved it.
