I was so excited to eat here again after 3 years that I only took a photo of my gyoza and miso! But as soon as we landed at Sky Harbor, we came directly here and luckily enough there wasn't a wait! We had some prime, people watching patio corner space. Our server was super friendly and I apologize for how many times you had to refill our water! We did order like 5 rolls and I have ZERO clue which ones they were but EVERYTHING tasted so fresh and delicious. By far one of our favorite sushi restaurants. I only Wish I could have walked around to make room and eat more read more

Loved the vibe of this place!! There is a restaurant and bar which had chill music playing. Our server Sang was very friendly. He made sure we have everything we needed and continued checking in us. Would definitely recommend Moira Sushi for drinks and dinner! read more

Food is great! Service is great! Music is terrible! Wanted to have a nice romantic dinner but hard to do with awful music blaring- if I wanted that, I'd go clubbing. read more

Not my favorite place for sushi, however the vibe and servers are great. Love their other dishes- Jalapeño bombs are a must when dining in. Sake and Sake bombs for their 10pm-2am happy hour on weekends are a must! read more

This place is definitely under rated. They offer a really good happy hour, the food is good, and the service is great! This was our second time here and they definitely didn't disappoint. The soft shell crab items are my favorite along with the shishito peppers and the garlic edamame. Their fish is fresh and they have a great variety of food and drinks to choose from. I would definitely come back the next time I'm in Arizona! read more

I live really close, have walked by several times but never stopped. A friend and his brother recently wanted to go get some sushi and were kind enough to find a near by location. We stopped by here. It was a little chilly but we sat outside. Our server was cute but so busy. It was a little expensive. I got a shrimp tempora roll, avocado roll, and what I thought was pho. It was more like stir fry so that was disappointing, unless I got the wrong thing but like I said, the gal was so busy. She forgot to bring us a few things but it's okay. Overall, I'd be back but will clarify orders. read more

I'm scared to admit this place struck me as AVERAGE. I wasn't knocked off my stool from their sushi rolls. In fact, I didn't even care for their happy hour hand rolls for $3. They were lacking flavor and come out whole (so you have to struggle to bite them). I tried one of their signature ones, the tiger, and it was enormous as well. Good flavor profile though and I'm sorry I didn't get a picture! The staff is excellent though! The sushi bar guys were friendly and helpful and I loved the servers custom masks and shirts!! I want one! (See pic) Sadly though, I don't think I'll be returning. But if you're in the area, give it a try yourself. It did become crazy busy around 8pm. read more

More sushi spots downtown than you might think but this one should be in your rotation. Especially since they are open for lunch with great specials. I opted to go with the amazing chef selection bowl or Chirashi which is a chef selection of sashimi over rice and veggies. Think top shelf Poke bowl. Great atmosphere friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely be back to try HH and more delicious looking eats. Be sure to swing in for their Thirsty Thursdays which has drink specials all day but just happy hour read more

Moira Sushi Bar & Kitchen - Chirashi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

What is it with guys and sake bombs? They just can't resist... This place has a cool cocktail menu and the usual selection of sake and Japanese beer. I'd recommend it as a happy hour spot if you just want a couple drinks and shared apps. This is a very average sushi place. The bright spot is that they have some good appetizers/shareables. I like their crispy rice as a fun alternative to traditional sushi, but the menu overall contains few surprises - the usual rolls for usual prices. The quality of sushi is ok, but there are better places close by. If I were to return, it'd be for other food, like the teriyaki bowls, and I wouldn't come for dinner. Their lunch special comes with salad and miso soup. Not everything on the lunch menu is the lunch special and it's not particularly clear, but it's better value. After coming twice, I've had both great and subpar service. I like their outdoor seating but it also served as a great way to be ignored by the staff. read more

Moira Sushi Bar & Kitchen - Spicy Tuna Roll and Eel Cucumber - Sushi Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Be warned! If the grumpy hostess at the front says the wait is "about 10 minutes" it's probably closer to 25. I thought the reviews talking about bad service were a little out there, but no, all of those reviews are correct. The service was slow and nonexistent. If you are understaffed, then you should say something. Otherwise we are wondering why it's taking 20 minutes for our waiter to come around when the place isn't even that busy. None of the sushi here was worth the wait. Certainly not worth how inattentive the staff is. Revolving sushi exists, is way quicker, tastes better, and is cheaper. This place is open late, but so is Dennys. Also the review mentioning that the calamari is more vegetables than calamari was so true! read more

I LOVE sushi and although I've only given this venue 3 stars don't count them out. Ok folks let's walk through this together Service Our server was very attentive. She did a great job checking in and checking up on us. As an added bonus she loves Sailor Moon and was wearing a super cute Sailor Moon crop top so she's already winning in my book. Parking Well as you know you're downtown so parking is a pain in the butt. There's a lot across the street but Cobra Bar is there so parking is a little tricky depending on the time you get there. Metered parking is available so make sure to download the app and monitor from your phone Patio It's currently cold outside so we didn't eat outside but they do have a nice outside patio available. In addition, they ensured all the heaters were on full blast and it looked quite cozy Venue The restaurant itself is relatively small. When you walk in to your right is a small fully stocked bar. To the right is the main seating. If you're a large party I suggest calling ahead so they can prepare to seat you. We were a party of two and were literally on top of the couple next to us. If you have secrets to share and don't want others listening this isn't the spot. Food The sushi was ok. Not the best I had but not terrible so they are somewhere in the middle. The good news is they have a great happy hour and their pricing is spot on. Most spots have a limited happy hour menu but this place offers multiple options for both sushi and their cocktails All in all I would go here again if I was in the area and it was during their happy hour read more

Moira is great. If it's a weekend night I suggest calling ahead as it gets busy. I'm not a huge sushi guy. I order hot food here and it is always delicious. Service and food are consistent. If you want a huge and affordable meal, get the lemongrass soup with chicken. It is huge and so delicious. If you like vinegar you'll love the cucumber salad. I'm also a fan of the Japanese fried rice.. I think it's call chapan or something like that. I had my first (and last :)) sake bomber here. It was fun. It's rare for a trendy spot like this to stay consistent and good. Moira does a great job. Been ten times or so and never had any disappointments. read more

Moira is probably one of the best sushi places I have been to in Phoenix. This is right in the heart of downtown Phoenix a cute hole in the wall with friendly staff and great service. They also stay open quite late. My friend and I visited during the week day around 10 pm and were seated at the bar quickly. The server was friendly and personable. She explained everything thoroughly and our food came out hot and tasty. Will definitely come back. read more

Came here last night and it was really good! The pricing is a little high but the quality was amazing. On average the rolls were 15-20. Really loved the ambiance as well and that they had a bar. Also the location it's at is great, because afterwards you can enjoy the Roosevelt area. I'm giving it 4 stars because the service was super slow. It did pick up while we were there but other servers weren't really willing to help out because when I called them they would just ignore it. Also tip is added automatically to the bill, which isn't a big deal to me but can for others especially if the service is the way that it was all the time. read more

Great happy hour and relaxed atmosphere. The food is great quality and service is fairly quick!

Great spot for a quick and cheap happy hour! Good prices and wonderful service. In addition to the sushi, we also got the potato croquettes and fried tofu, all of which were delicious. It has nice patio seating with misters. read more

Great vibes they are open late on weekends, the calamari appetizer is incredible. Reverse happy hour on weekends. Now more parking available. I will be back. I've been about three or four times each time I like it more and more! Big portion on the squid salad too. read more

They have lunch specials Monday through Friday from 11:30am to 2:00pm and they serve a lot of food for $9. You can order a bowl or a sushi burrito. All lunch specials include a house salad, miso soup, and a fountain drink. The house salad was delicious! I ordered the "Aloha Burrito" which had tuna, furikake, asparagus, edamame, green onion, avocado, spicy mayo, and sesame shoyu. Service was okay, one server was very nice, the other server not so much. And for parking there is a lot just West of Moira and one just North of it as well. read more

The sushi was delicious and they have a good happy hour, but the service alone was so off putting we won't be back. We sat at the bar and no one acknowledge us for 10 minutes until "any questions about the menu" - I told her we didn't have menus and she slapped a QR code on the table and left without a word. Our server was rude the entire experience and again no "thank you for coming in" when the bill came, she just said "here's this". It was like we were a bother to her. read more

So-so sushi. More grocery-store grade. Value-packed "pick two rolls for $12." Bright north facing windows which make for cooler vibes on a hot afternoon. I generally stick to "good", "very good", "excellent", and "life changing" when it comes to Japanese food, but I've had Moira on my must-try list for so long, when I forgot that my favorite is closed for lunch, I thought I'd head down. Most very unfortunately, We arrived nearer the end of lunch service There were no customers Sat at the bar, cook took our order but didn't write it down and then forgot most of it. Ah well. Sigh. All fish wrapped in cellophane on their dishes in display, all not used recently Miso served in hot ceramic so I can't pick it up and hold it nearer and slurp loudly, and strange milky notes, flavors not right Sushi rice old, dry, no vinegar, Rolls packed too tightly, ingredients not freshly prepped Service friendly and helpful. Maybe we'll have better luck next time around! In olden days this would be a 2star. read more

Service : 1.5 / 5 Food (3 Sushi rolls + Pork Gyoza) : 4 / 5 An overall aggravating service experience and will not be returning, We (a party of 2) visited on Wednesday, July 6th around 9pm. Upon entry, it was relatively busy but the server / host informed us the wait for a table would be approx 10 minutes when we requested a table vs bar. The bar seating was plenty open and we could see a few seated parties at tables were readying to leave. As we stood in the entry without much room as others entered to be seated, we watched 1 of the 2 servers move a group of employees not on the clock, to another table that had been cleared. Why they moved from the bar is unknown. And we know they were employees because one announced it to us in a friendly exchange. After waiting a total of 20 minutes, the server looked at us and told us we'd be seated at the bar anyway (despite our table request). We were then promised water and she never came back and we were even unable to pull her attention even as she would walk by in dining. We also noticed that the groups of employees off the clock who were dining-in seemed to be catered to above all others. In hindsight, sitting at the bar was our heaven-send because we placed our appetizer and sushi order with one of the chefs that promptly asked us if we were ready and we received our food prior to even being spoken to, by who we assumed was a bartender that had to come out to help the dining. He got us our waters and our cocktails that we ordered through him came as we were halfway through our dinner (while eating slowly, trying to wait for them). The gyoza and three sushi rolls that we ordered were fantastic and even made to our custom request due to food allergy. Our appreciation is directed toward the sushi chefs and fry cook. Interestingly enough, we saw the initial server when she decided to come back to take our credit card at the end of our meal. The experience was a let down. A missed opportunity here because the food is astronomically better than the service. I worked in the food industry, I understand restaurants can be busy and servers can be overwhelmed but the lack of friendliness, welcoming and attention to guests was a deterrent. read more

OMG!!! Talk about the BEST sushi and BEST happy hour of my LIFE! If you can hold on and wait till 9pm they do an amazing happy hour of so many rolls and they are $5?!?! ITS AMAZING!!! It's not only the best price sushi in arizona the quality is truly the best. I recommend the Vegas roll!! Everything we ordered was so good. Our waitress was SO sweet- her name is angela. Recommend 12/10 for sushi lovers! This place is the BEST. Definitely making this a weekly visit spot read more

Moira Sushi Bar & Kitchen - The Las Vegas roll is AMAZING. I HIGHLY recommend!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The service was below average. Our apps and main course came before drinks. Im not one to complain but when my entire party of 6 starts to notice and vocalize you know something is up. There wasn't one item we tried that had wow factor. I'd say compared to other Sushi restaurants this was the least interesting. The rolls could easily be mistaken for grocery store sushi if it weren't for the fancy names. Won't be back. Try Harumi Sushi and Sake instead. read more

Impromptu stop here for dinner for 5. Its a small group style restaurant so the tables were a bit small, however most of us seemed to enjoy our meals. I recommend the cucumber soup...its got great flavor don't let the cucumber through you off and the oishi roll. The garlic prawns on the roll were an excellent touch. Def recommend if you're in the downtown area but keep the group size in mind. read more

This was my second visit to Moira and the food again did not disappoint. Appreciate your the uniqueness in the speciality rooms they offer. Price point was a bit high and didn't match what was on the online menu. Like everywhere else they've gone up in pricing. We got the Tiger roll which was prepared with a coconut shrimp on top. The shrimp was nice and crunchy with the perfect hint of coconut. We also got the Senesi, which was prepared with lobster and angus beef. The shiitake mushroom was a nice touch on top. The roll has a a nice smokiness to it. But the lobster wasn't really present. Yet it still was a good bite. The miso soup didn't disappoint and we paired our sushi with a nice Japanese whiskey. Service was ok. We sat at the bar. Zero engagement from the bar staff but our server was prompt and handled her job well. The ambiance inside was subpar. It's somewhat small inside, but they offer outdoor seating as well. It was cold outside so we sat at the bar to avoid an hour wait. The doors were left open which made it cold Inside as well. But overall cool spot for good sushi in a nice day. read more

This place is for people who has never had sushi before, and have no expectation whatsoever. This place is for people who doesn't know how to use Chopsticks. Let's be honest... if you are here, you're not here for the sushi.

Called at 1 to make a dinner reservation. Was told "we do not accept reservations." Arrived at 545pm and was told at the door, "We will not have a table until 1030pm due to the amount of reservations we have." When I asked to sit at the empty bar, once again I got, "Oh, I just filled all those seats too." So do you or do you not do reservations? This same scenario has happened the past 3 times trying to go. Highly recommend skipping this place and finding somewhere else to eat! read more

Monday through Thursday is happy hour all day. 5-7$ for lots of choices. Sushi may not be the best but for the price it's great. Service has been top notch also. Especially the bartender. They have edamame potstickers that are off the hook. (Veggie potstickers on the happy hour menu) Lobster nachos are my favorite. It's only 3 individual chips with goods on top. It's delicious. read more

My visit was from the second weekend in November. We came here based on recommendations from friends. The food was ok, my friend and I preferred a selection of different sushi and sashimi plates. Those two stars go to the food. The reason I gave only 2 stars was the service. The server who attended to us, Although smiling his service and quality to details were pretty bad. We ordered a bottle of wine, it was brought to us open with two classes and left. Was not poured, we didn't even care if it was poured to taste first, it was literally just dropped off. After that and food came in, not even once our waters were filled up, we had to ask him to refill it. read more
