As longtime Pokitrition fans, we were genuinely bummed when their Chandler location closed. We had…read morebeen searching for a place that could fill that void, and we're happy to say that Poke Wave in Tempe has done exactly that. Everything was fresh--from the fish and toppings to the vegetables and sauces. The ingredients were high quality, the portions were generous, and every bite tasted like it had just been prepared. Living in Ahwatukee, we're always looking for restaurants that are worth the drive, and Poke Wave has become one of our regular stops. Friendly staff, a clean restaurant, and consistently great food keep us coming back. If you're looking for excellent poke in the East Valley, Poke Wave is an easy recommendation.

Happy Hour deals 4:30 until 8:00 p.m. Several tasty options. Beer is cold, Sake options pretty good, and prices competitive. Portion sizes are plentiful. All servers have been super nice and come by regularly to refill drinks and/or take additional orders. Every appetizer and entree has been good and plentiful. Frequently get too much because everything just sounds so good. Great sashimi, good Ramen, love the Kama, and we enjoy the entertaining video clips played on TV by hostess stand.

I was in search of a light lunch special that included a variety of items to appeal to my…read moreindecisive taste. I had this place saved for some time as it nearby, and I have to say "thank you" to all my Yelpers as the food and the service matched at the positive feedback. Parking was fairly simple as it's located on the corner of Dobson and Guadalupe, and once inside, the staff was very welcoming and provided the menu. The TVs were some Pet channel full of cuteness (that's the only word that comes to mind for me to describe), while the other had something similar but maybe of bloopers. Either way, it was cool and blended in with the stylishly cool decor. As for lunch, I decided to go with the Bento box that included Beef and Broccoli as the main dish. It came with a side of rice, spring roll, a crab ragoon, and 4 sushi pieces. They did bring out a courtesy salad, which was nice. I went with a fountain drink but they do have Sake, Beer & Wine. Service and speediness of the food were good, and as you can tell by my photo, it was steaming hot when it arrived. Overall, everything was on point, and I think I'll come back and try another Bento box lunch special.

My daughter, granddaughter and I stopped in for dinner and we're immediately told there was no…read moreavailability, despite several empty tables. Both hostess at the front didn't offer a wait list. Instead, we were offered a table in the back outside while everyone else was seated inside. As a Black family, the experience left us feeling unwelcome. I can't say why we were treated this way, but the interaction was extremely disappointing, we chose to dine elsewhere. Update: After my original review, the restaurant reached out to apologize for our experience. We decided to give them another chance, and I'm glad we did. Our return visit was completely different. The service was excellent, and we had the pleasure of meeting the Ashley Cook, General Manager and the owner. They made us feel genuinely welcome. I appreciate that they took our feedback seriously and worked to make things right. Our server Tyler was exceptional.

I am literally never disappointed with the food here, nor am I disappointed with the service or the…read moredrinks. Music is always on pointe and I would never change the look or ambiance of the place either. My last trip here though I had to ask about why the menu had stopped changing as often since we were one of two parties there in the middle of happy hour and there was a large framed picture of a bartender with a bunch of signed notes on the bottom of it beside me at the bar. It turns out that one of the oldest curators and bartenders of the bar and restaurant had passed from a drunk driving incident and I had not known at all! Gosh I was so disappointed in myself that I had ever complained about not having a new menu to try after that...but at the same time it was amazing to hear so many great anecdotes and to learn so much more about him and the history of the bar itself while dining this time. I had a lot of fun times at this bar - including remembering the first time I met that bartender and sharing that memory with the staff that told me their story. They also shared that they would be coming out with a new menu very soon and some of the new items and ideas that would be rolling out so I am also very excited to go back! New food menu tomorrow too?! What?! I was almost tempted to back today to get more of their amazing dishes from the main menu!! Thank you Cat for the amazing hospitality! I learned so much about Gaea in one afternoon too :D Love it. To update about the food I tried but some of you may not get to try since they're changing it up :P *Tiger Shrimp - DIVINE - JUICY ZUCCHINI STUFFED WITH CURRY THAT MAKES YOUR ENTIRE MOUTH WATER JUST THINKING ABOUT IT ONCE ITS EVER TOUCHED YOUR TONGUE - the prawns are BIGGER THAN YOUR MIDDLE FINGER *Thai Salad - zesty spicy, VERY filling and made in lettuce cups, so very much not your typical salad but very tasty *steak skewers - much more like the juiciest steak I've literally ever had on a skewer - LITERALLY...but not because it's fat, just because they somehow made this steak completely juicified - don't ask me how - ask Cat *Mole Chicken Skewers - My favorite...you should just try it.

I felt at ease in the restaurant. I wish I could give this mom and pop restaurant a 6,7,8 star review. The chirashi was delicious and filling.

The food here was excellent and the portions were way bigger than I expected for the price. Our…read moreserver was great and really helped us figure out what to order since there were a lot of options on the menu. She was super attentive too and kept refilling our drinks throughout the meal. We tried a mix of specialty rolls and more basic rolls. Most of the specialty rolls were around $15 each, while the basic rolls were under $10. The spicy tuna rolls were especially good for the price because they were cheap, but still came out huge. Overall the portions were very generous and the prices weren't bad at all. I got the Hell Fire roll and it definitely lived up to the name. I handle spicy food really well and even for me this thing was extremely spicy. It was almost painfully hot, but honestly I kind of enjoyed the challenge, It was also really good besides just being spicy, so I'd definitely get it again. The inside also had a cool vibe with all the colorful lighting and it wasn't too busy when we went which was nice. Most of our sushi came out almost immediately. The fried rolls understandably took a little longer since they had to be made fresh. My only small complaint is I wish everything would of came out closer to the same time, because some of us already had food while we were still waiting on the fried rolls. Overall, really good food, huge portions, fair prices and great service, definitely a spot I'd come back to.

One of my NYC coworkers mentioned Shimogamo, and I mentioned liking the Gilbert location a few weeks back. She reached out and made a reservation for 10-12 of us. I hadn't realized how small this location was, so it meant she rented the room for an exceptional exclusive dining experience! Things We Ordered I Tried: - Yuzu Mule: loved this drink at the Gilbert location, so I ordered again. Very refreshing and recommend if you like mules. - Hamachi Chili Lime Crudo: Great flavor and first time trying a crudo. I really liked the subtle heat and acidity of the citrus ponzu. - Crispy Truffle Crab: This was decent, but overall my least favorite of our starters & small bites. - Spicy Tuna Tartare: This was delicious and enjoyed the nori chips to serve the spicy tuna on. - Kagoshima Filet ($120): I'm sad to report... this was FANTASTIC. I wanted to hate it at the price point of $120, but it truly melts in your mouth. My first experience trying Wagyu and it was a A5 rating, which is the highest. Started with a bougie one it seems! - Tamago Roll: I do enjoy a tamago roll, and this was pretty good. - Crazy Roll: I enjoyed this at the Gilbert location, though I do still standby this could be elevated with a spicy mayo or topping. - Surf 'N Turf Roll: This was my favorite roll of the night! A5 Wagyu and shrimp tempura?! Heck yeah! Absolutely delicious, though I'm not a huge fan of mustard. Still a delicious roll and likely what I'd get if I returned. - Yuzu Mushrooms: One of the specials listed, and decent flavor. Though, I think I'd stick to rolls if returning. - Matcha Tiramisu: I was told this was a must order, but I'm truly baffled at this desert. This is more like a no bake cheesecake and not a tiramisu. The red bean paste was an odd texture at the bottom and very hard to get your spoon all the way down to get all the elements of the dessert. - Mango Kakigori: Very light and refreshing! A hit with the team, and we had three to share. Shout out to Matthew for an amazing experience! Very attentive and appreciated the suggestions, while helping ensure we met the spend requirement for renting the room ($1200). What a truly magic night that made us feel like VIP!

They also have fantastic happy hour and lunch specials that make it easy to stop by more often without breaking the bank. 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. It's quickly become one of my favorite sushi spots, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great sushi, awesome specials, and consistently friendly service.
