When I walked in, I was promptly directed to where I should go so I could place a takeout order. The genuine courtesy of the staff here was just what I needed after a long day. Lots of great options for sushi but ramen sounded amazing on a chilly winter day. I ordered a couple options and requested for the toppings to be separated so my picky eater could pick out what she didn't like. The food was out promptly and packaged with such care. Once I got it back to my daughter's hospital room, we were able to feast on the best meal we had all day. I will definitely be coming back to this place again and I am grateful for their kindness just when I needed it. Highly recommend!

Our server was attentive, happy hour was good and everything came out quickly. The cucumber salad was super refreshing and gyoza were yummy with a delicious sauce. We ordered sake bombs, and I absolutely love that they serve them with frosty chilled glasses. We tried two different ramen bowls and both were packed with flavor. The spice levels felt pretty accurate, the eggs were cooked perfectly, the meat was tender, and the noodles had a great texture. Each bowl had its own flavor profile, but both were equally delicious. We also tried the takoyaki (octopus balls). I was already getting full, so I wasn't as excited about them, but my boyfriend described them as a BBQ pancake bite. Overall, this is a great spot for ramen. I did notice the music was all girl bands and no boy bands. Clean restaurant, good service, flavorful food, and a fun atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.

So was super excited to have date night here and as always it did NOT disappoint. Shishito peppers. Hands down, the best thing behave ever had. I don't know what they do different. But they do it consistently and very well. I could eat these alone and feel happy. We are on a yellowtail kick. We asked the amazing and attentive waitress to as yellowtail choices she recommended. We tried them all. They were fantastic. Best. Sushi. Ever. Haven't had better in Cali. Or Seattle. It's.... Ya. Icho Izakaya as the overall champ. Our waitress is such a sweet spirit, she checked in frequently. I wish I had gotten her name. My wife and I both talked afterwards about how she pleasant and sweet spirited she was, super helpful and knowledgeable. She was outstanding! I will say, the master chef is busy. Lots of orders come in. And he rotates them so everyone gets part of their order. Be patient. Enjoy your company. Catch up. Slow down. It's so worth it. And as am I am writing this, my wife texts me again. "That sushi was so delicious". Shes right. It was.

My wife and I were HUGE Temari fans. They had the best sushi in the state hands down. Everything we…read moreloved about it is gone with the new owners. Rolls are smaller and taste like grocery store sushi rather than quality restaurant sushi. The sauces are different and used way more sparingly, the cuts of the ingredients are inconsistent. The rice tastes cheaper and the fish and fruits are unrecognizable. The Baja roll and Primo rolls use to be my favorite rolls anywhere. I ordered both and I honestly couldn't even finish the Baja roll. Cheap fish, canned fruit, almost no sauces. I'd honestly rather pay $25 a roll to have the old rolls back rather than these new versions. Sadly, I probably won't ever return unless they go back to the old level of quality for their rolls. RIP.

For example we were a party of 4 and 3 of us wanted all you can eat and one did not want sushi and they told them they could not or we could not. So 3 of us are willing to spend $31 per person and were told no cause they are afraid one person might get some. Will never come back to this shady greedy place. No wonder they changed their name again.

I had my first Sushi Rock & Grill experience last night and it will definitely not be my last!…read more On the hunt for something healthy for dinner, my son requested a california roll and my daughter quickly followed that request with one of her own: "a salmon roll and a cucumber roll." I did a quick search on my Yelp app and saw that SR&G was not far from their pickleball training and decided that a nigiri bento box sounded good to me too... I went online to place an order on their website and was also pleasantly surprised with the prices - it turns out that this meal would not be that much more than what I would normally spend on dinner at a nearby fast food restaurant, yet so much healthier! The ordering process was easy and allowed me to pay upon arrival. I went to pick it up about 30 minutes later and everything looked and tasted delicious. Service was friendly and everything was packed well with the condiments and chopsticks needed for our order. The restaurant itself is in a shopping center and has a casual and welcoming ambiance. As noted above, I'm sure I'll be back soon!

The sushi quality is nice and fresh, and the servers are kind and attentive. I also love that the solo fish rolls like the salmon roll or yellowtail are huge! I took off a star due to the lady with the silver chain around her neck, who was handling seating people/to go orders up front. She had an attitude towards me and other customers, and I heard her distinctly yell at one of the waitresses because she made a mistake. Not a good look for your business to have such a disgruntled worker.

We stopped into Makitto Sushi and I'm already planning my next visit--and telling everyone about…read morethis place! It is magic. We tried two rolls: The Birdgang Roll - unique, super flavorful, and had the perfect little zing. I didn't even need soy sauce, which never happens! The Fire Dragon Roll - the kick combined with the eel sauce was incredibly well balanced. So good. We also ordered sashimi and nigiri, and this is where Mikito really won me over. I don't normally eat sashimi because I usually find it too fishy, but the quality here was on another level. * Bluefin Sashimi: melt-in-your-mouth delicious. * Yellowtail Sashimi: super light and clean. * Salmon Nigiri: not fishy at all--just buttery and delightful. Everything tasted unbelievably fresh. We sat at the bar and chatted with Jay, the owner and chef, and he was fantastic. Great conversation, clearly passionate about what he does, and the service overall was friendly and prompt. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend!! If you love sushi--or even if you think you don't--give Makitto a try. It's truly a standout.

We were looking for somewhere to eat in the Mesa Riverview area and I didn't know this was back…read morethere, right next to the movie theater. Reviews are very good and so we gave it a try on a Saturday evening. When we arrived there were 2 people eating at the sushi counter, otherwise it was empty. During our time there another couple came in, so it was not busy and easy to get a table. The server was very friendly and service was great. For that I'll push my rating to 4 stars. For me, this place is personally 3.5/5. Everything was decent but nothing I would rave about. And that might just be me, because people love this place in other reviews. It was possibly just a bunch of little things that made me think it's just okay. I thought the texture of sushi rice was a bit too soft, I know it's sticky rice but I felt like it was a little over cooked and too soft. I also thought both of my rolls tasted exactly the same. Which thankfully I thought were good tasting. The stuffed jalapeños were definitely a miss, they were so under fried so mostly a mush of ingredients in a jalapeño. And initially I liked the karaage but had a couple of tough pieces, so overall that was just okay. Miso soup was solid. And I realize that the appetizers are cooked in the back and not by sushi chef, and people rave about the chef. However like I said, both rolls seemed pretty similar tasting and one was supposed to be more spicy. All very standard flavors, like I would expect from AYCE sushi. I think I'm just looking for more delicate flavors with higher quality pieces of fish. I likely should have tried some of the special items listed on the rotating items board near the sushi bar. Next time we go back I'll try sitting at the sushi bar and trying some speciality items. People have said this is the best way to enjoy this place. We will likely come back during a lunch or happy hour special, if I like it better and I can upgrade my review I'd be happy to give this small, local family run business all the stars.

I honestly come back again and again for the spicy edamame and the spicy tuna on crispy rice -- both are absolutely amazing and packed with flavor. The spicy tuna on crispy rice is perfectly done every time, with just the right crunch and spice, and the spicy edamame is seriously addictive. I've also tried the tempura, shrimp tempura roll, miso soup, and several other rolls, and everything I've ordered has been fresh and delicious. You can really tell they take pride in the quality of their food.
