I've been here a couple of times, not much to say. Every time I've gone is simple fast and I enjoy it. Service is ok, not memorable. I would say this location doesn't "WOW" me. Maybe it has something to do with the vibe I get every time I go. There seems to be a new server every time and the Manager/Owner not trusting and over watching the servers every move. read more

Say Sushi - Wraps are just like PF Changs Bomb.com - Sushi Bars Near Me - Maricopa, Arizona

I hate the city of Maricopa but I love this place! They have Mochi ice cream, monkey brains, and just every yummy concoction ever, the sushi is delicious, environment: it's quaint and quiet. If you're in town and craving sushi, and don't feel like driving to RA for the most over priced experience ever, come here! You won't be disappointed! read more

Yummy, yummy, yummy. Good food and friendly service. The wife and I always look forward to the "Dragon Roll" mmmm, mmm

I feel bad to leave a bad review because I've always enjoyed the food here but as time has gone, the service has dwindled and this most recent trip was the worst. We ordered 4 rolls total. Two were alright, my Shrimp Killer roll was horribly assembled when normally it looks perfect. My boyfriend got a Red Dragon roll that tasted as if the fish was left out or going bad. He couldn't even eat it after the second bite. I would've called to complain but figured the owners wouldn't care so we chopped it up as a loss. read more

Delicious always incredibly fast and fresh sushi. If you're not into sushi, order the bulgogi! read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside and the restaurant itself is pretty tiny but my husband and I were pleasantly surprised!! Sashimi was a very large amount and my husband was very happy with the quality! Sushi rollss were very generous size and were all delicious! I prefer boiled dumplings buT the fried ones were not bad!! All in all happy to have a sushi spot in Maricopa! read more

Not too many vegan options, but the food is overall very good. I don't think the A/C works too great, but the heat isn't too unbearable or anything. The staff is very kind and I always enjoy going there. read more

I am originally from San Diego where sushi is fresh & delicious! I've been living in Copa for 2 yrs & finally tried this place after viewing a few pictures & I AM SO GLAD I DID! The fish for the rolls I had (Philly roll, dragon roll) was fresh, no discoloration at all. I also ordered the Las Vegas roll (which is my fave from there), yakisoba, spicy crab roll, & gyoza (potstickers). Everything was delicious. My three y.o. loved the complementary miso soup, yakisoba & gyoza. This is mine & my husband's go-to sushi joint. The best part? It's down the street from us read more

We just moved out here to Maricopa and the food here is mostly mediocre, lots of fast food so when we walked into Say Sushi, we had low expectations. This place is incredible! Great sushi, and the staff is very friendly. They have great daily happy hour specials and all day HH on Tues, Thurs, and Sat. This is by far the best place to eat in Maricopa and is easily comparable to sushi places back home in San Diego! We look forward to becoming regulars here. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed this joint back when it was under its old management. The day I showed up and found it shuttered was not a happy one. But it is back open now with all-day hours, so all is right with the world. I've tried sushi places all over the state, and this is about the best I've found. No, it isn't on par with the top-notch sushi joints in San Francisco or LA, but do you see an ocean here? For a landlocked state, the fish here is terrific. Since the new management took over, some of the prices have gone up, but most have gone down. This is terrific for those who like rolls, as most of them are under $9 now. Your specialty rolls average $10, with $10.95 being the highest price for some of the more showy varieties. The dinner plates include chicken, beef, and salmon teriyaki ($10 and $12) as well as sushi and sashimi assortments ($16). The sushi is tightly rolled and flavorful. All sushi aficionados have had rolls where the flavor is masked by sauce...you won't find that here. The sushi chefs here clearly know what they're doing, and I'm not just saying that because they greeted me warmly in Japanese. The new ownership has really given this place more of a Japanese feel to it. A television set blares NHK, there was sumo wrestling on at my most recent visit, while Japanese music videos were on the time before. (At least I thought it was Japanese. It could have been Lady Gaga in a geisha suit I suppose.) Sake is served hot or cold, and Japanese beer (Asahi) is available and recommended. For dessert you can have Mochi ice cream if you're really feeling the Eastern vibe. For our plant-eating friends, there are some vegetarian options here. From edamame to the avocado salads to the vegetable rolls, you've at least got a few fish-free choices available to you. I like the service here. From the counter staff to the waitress/server, I am treated very well whenever I show up. Others I know who have gone here have reported similar experiences, so it isn't that they're just in awe of The Mustache. If you find yourself in town (and you will...in a drunken haze wearing someone else's shirt, no doubt), make the stop. I think you'll be glad you did. read more

Tried this place again and the fish didn't seem fresh at all. Something tasted off and we couldn't eat it all for fear of getting sick. They still don't know how to roll them correctly either. Completely oversized and falling apart is what you get. Also it took forever to get our order and it's just overpriced. I'd rather spend the gas money and go to a good sushi place in Chandler or Ahwatukee then come here. This place is NOT a 4 star sushi place, how it got those kind of reviews I have no clue since it keeps getting worse. read more

I REALLY want to recommend this place. If you could figure out a way to just get their delicious food with no issues or dealings with the ownership, I say go for it. However, they happen to have the *worst* service I have ever seen. While the servers themselves have always treated me with respect and have been quick to get the right food, the owner is definitely *not* customer-minded. I regularly go here with my brother for lunch and on occasion with my wife. There have been a few occasions -- out of 20+ visits to this place -- where there was some kind of problem and we were treated with complete disrespect. Case in point: today, my brother took someone out here for their birthday. As he went to eat his last piece of sushi, he found a big, long jet-black hair. His server was there and he politely asked for a replacement piece. She agreed and apologetically left him. After several minutes, my brother threw in some money in the tip jar and noticed his server near the back by -- presumably -- the owner. He mentioned the piece he was waiting for and the server said she wouldn't be able to replace it. Surprised, he tried appealing to the owner and she spat back: "You can't eat your food and then ask me to replace it". An argument ensued where he defended his right to hair-free sushi and told her that the server saw it (removed the hair for him... a health-code violation perhaps?). The owner then yelled at the server for "not telling [her]" to which the server responded "well it could have been his hair"! This continued while in front of the birthday guest as they flat-out refused to replace the piece the server took with something fresh (and hair-free). I have to say I was completely floored that this kind of experience exists anywhere in this country with litigation, health departments and in the online world we live in. Clearly this is ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS customer service (this wasn't the first time). They are the only Japanese/sushi restaurant in town and again the food is -- for the price -- absolutely fantastic. However, until they up their service game, I can't recommend the place. These guys owe my brother big. I've also recommended he put in a complaint with the local health department. read more

This place definitely needs a little work. - Their rice is not properly seasoned with the right amount of vinegar. They have too little. - The cuts on some of their fish were wrong (with grain vs. against) - Some of the rolls barely held together and were very loose. - Servers seem very timid and could use some more frequent touches with their guests. - The fish quality was not what it should be but it wasn't bad as some suggested.. That said they had a few nice surprises that I enjoyed. - They have what I recall as a Fire Dragon lobster roll that came wrapped in foil and on fire delivered to the table. It had a wonderful smokiness to it and the flavor was spot on. If I just ate that dish all night I would have given them great marks. - The place is clean and comfortable and our party was not rushed or given any pressure after we stayed and talked for a while after our meal. - The monkey balls are pretty damn good. I'm not a big fried food guy but the flavor, texture, and earthiness of the shroom was just spot on. - Solid offering of rolls with good variety. They are the only game in town if you are in "The Copa" so I hope they work to improve some of their quality issues. read more

I want to love this place, I do. I want to love them because they are a small business, and they have a great lettuce wrap. (It's really, really good.) But I struggle, because of the service. My first time in, I called in a to-go order about 8:30 and was told they close at nine I have to be sure to be there. I was there. But really? You are getting an order from a first time customer? Isn't that worth staying a bit late for? Then, we went in and my family had sushi, I again, had lettuce wraps. I ordered a salad, and not caring for seafood and having kids who are allergic, I was shocked that when I asked is it just cucumber and onion, and was given affirmation this is so, when it arrived with crab in it. REALLY? If that had been for one of my kids, you could have killed them. I asked them to make a new one with no crab. No can do. WHAT? You can't mix cucumbers and onions with a dressing? No, because it has to "marinate". Welll....okay. The green tea is ...ummmm....green alright. Tastes like motor oil, but it is the color green. The fried rice is NOT fried, it is...just not. nope. No flavor. We asked for some things to come out as appetizers, they didn't. We asked for dishes that never arrived. Everything you ask special is met with "no we can't." Hmmm... isn't the customer always right? Then I asked if they make their own desserts...no, they microwave them. Not at all what I wanted to hear. My husband loves some of the sushi, so the food is not terrible for the most part. But if you want service...you are so in the wrong place. read more

Say Sushi is my favorite sushi spot! I've been to many sushi restaurants in the valley and I always cone back here. The portions are great and so is the price! What else can I say other than you have to try it for yourself, I just hope I haven't built it up to much. read more

The food is amazing but the wait is not worth it. I've dined in and also placed to go orders with extended waits. One of the to go orders I placed they said they would call when it was done & they never did. read more

Great food and service at exceptional value. I would stack Say Sushi against the best sushi joints in the valley when it comes to their food. If you're looking for a place with a swanky/stuffy ambiance or overpriced sushi in small portions ....this is not the place for you. But if you just love high quality sushi with nice sized portions at a price that wont break your bank account ...the definitely try Say Sushi ..it's a hidden gem. read more

Been coming here for Years, Busy all the time but staff stays attentive good has always been great!! Great Prices Great Service!!! No Complaints! read more

Best sushi in town. They have amazing happy hour specials. Definitely the Sushi place we go to when we want Sushi.

My family and I absolutely love Say Sushi they are very accommodating when it comes to a special order sushi roll the monkey balls are out of this world! read more

Love going here for my Poke fix. Sit at the bar and watch all the sushi making action going on.

Been here a couple of times since moving to town. It's hard to find good restaurants in Maricopa and my family and I usually find ourselves going into Phoenix or out to the casinos if we want good quality food. Say Sushi is a notable exception. They have selections for those weird people that don't like sushi, but to us normal folks who think sushi is God's gift to man, I can very highly recommend their menu. Tons and tons of choices of both common and unique sushi rolls and great specials. Friendly staff and fast service too, which again, is a huge plus in this town. Major kudos. read more

Great customer service, clean restaurant and delicious fresh rolls. Would love the restaurant to be a little bit bigger but it gives that family owned everyone knows everyone feeling to it. Would recommend to anyone looking for good sushi in the area read more

Love the sushi here but a tip for the ladies that stand by the table just on the other side of the cash register, please don't stand here, it make the guests at that table uncomfortable- it feels like you are staring and that is rude- I'm not the only one that feels that way, I have had other people tell me the same thing. Other than that it's great! read more

I came into say sushi and experienced the worst sushi I have ever tasted! Absolutely no flavor and when I told our waitress she took the roll that i had one piece of and was made completely wrong and told the cook. He brought the roll back out to me and asked what was wrong! I told him again it didn't taste good and had no flavor! He told me I still had to pay 50% off and I said no! He never apologize or had any concern about his terrible service! We also didn't get the soup we order or garlic edamame! Will never return to this disgusting restaurant. read more

We were pretty impressed with the fresh quality of fish here. They were having a happy hour special when we arrived, so we mostly ordered off of the happy hour menu. It was a very good value! After ordering, we saw they actually have Korean stone bowl and a few other Korean and other Asian options. We are happy to have this restaurant in our community and are excited to go back and try more! read more

Every time I call this friggin place to place an order I always get sent to their system! It's annoying I just wanted sushi today but when they do answer the phone it's a decent sushi place. Wish they would get a better phone. read more

At first I was going to give Say Sushi 2 stars, as most of the food and service was not very good - with the exception of the Sushi - which was great! And it is, after all, it's reason for being. Ambiance & Decor. The entrance leads directly into the restaurant, which seems a little odd for a full service place. It also has a slightly cramped feel to it. Service. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and sat ourselves, but as soon as we sat down the same waitress asked us if we would mind moving as they needed our table for a large group. Not a big deal, but why not already move the table or mark it reserved? The wait staff was friendly enough, but not very experienced: plates were slow to be cleared, our appetizer and other dishes all arrived pretty much at the same time, and even though we said we were sharing a dish they only brought one plate and no utensil to split it up. Food. - The Monkey Balls (Stuffed mushroom w/crab meat, cream cheese & deep fried). They were OK, but the crab had a funny texture. - Chicken Fried Rice (yeah I know its a Sushi place, but the options for Chinese food in the 'Copa are very limited). The chicken was large pieces of white meat, but the dish lacked ANY flavor. And the veggies were from a frozen mix. Not good at all. - Spicy tuna roll was excellent and a generous portion!! Beverage & Happy Hour. We had a couple of Japanese beers that were good and cold. The Happy Hour is 4-7 every day, and all day Sun, Tue, Thu. Which seems pretty liberal, but the discount is only about $1 for most things. They have a pretty good selection of menu items as well as discounted beverages. All in all, we'll be using Say Sushi as our go-to place for Sushi To Go . read more

Today was the first time since they have been open that the sushi rolls we order were falling apart or not cut completely through.

Love Say Sushi! Their Happy Hour is awesome. Everything tastes so fresh. Makes you forget that it's in the middle of the desert! My faves are the dragon roll and the monkey balls! read more

We ordered the Insanity Sushi Rolls and California Rolls. Both were very good for my first time eating sushi. Loved the Spicy Chicken bowl and the gyoza. Highly recommend this restaurant. The food is delicious and artistic. The only thing that wasn't so good was the waiter. He never came back to see if we needed anything or if everything was okay. read more

I was quite pleasantly surprised at how good this place was! I am a big fan of their happy hour, and their rolls are quite generous as well. This place is a step above the revolving sushi set in terms of quality. The space they are in is tiny, and they fill every bit of it. If you are waiting for a table, you are likely doing so outside. I know there isn't much choice in this matter, or much else they can do, but it still detracted from the experience. Nevertheless, this place is darn good for a small town sushi joint. We will definitely do date night there again! read more

Yes I was a little weary of eating here especially when it comes to eating Sushi. When my fiancé and I walked through the door we were greeted and had the option where to sit which is nice considering the place is small and my fiance is 6.3. We came in on a good day Tuesdays and Thursdays are all day Happy Hour. The happy hour menu has reasonable prices and has a variety to choose from. Now to talk about the sushi, I decided to wait a day to see how my stomach would react before I give a great rating on the food and presentation. Well its the next day and I'm great. So the sushi is to die for. They have a great spicy selection and a no fish selection. We tried the avocado roll. I highly recommend it for like an appetizer to get you started. read more

Love love this sushi place it's the best. I would recommend to everyone and I really enjoy all day happy hour..

Some of the best sushi money can buy, I've eaten here for the last 10 years and they have never disappointed me. Love this place.

We were really excited that Say Sushi re-opened, but after we came by on a Sunday and they were closed we were disappointed. We wanted to support our small town and have dinner in town so we decided to try again. Tonight the place was busy with only one server. He was running around like crazy trying to help as best he could. We ordered a dinner salad and didn't finish half. The old dressing was rememberable, this was week and dry. Our sushi came and it wasn't horrible, but the rice was a little dry. When I went to the bathroom, the sink did not have hot water and was a little dirty. This place used to be a inexpensive choice with great quality food. Now their prices are the same as going to RA but without the atmosphere. I don't know if we will be back! read more

I have been here about 4 times now every time I order the Spicy Korean Pork Dish on there new Menu, every time its different with different sides one time I got lettuce and peanut sauce which I enjoyed but the next few times I didn't. Sushi is pretty good They do give free Miso Soup! read more

Great service and yummy fooooood! Tight space but for the most part it's so delicious and fresh.

I have had a lot of sushi...this little place is a gem. Family owned, great spot, fresh, fast, always great service. We go often for lunch. Ask for Vicki she is a lot of fun. read more

Only sushi restaurant in Maricopa (that we know of) so we can say it's the best in town, ha ha. We have had their sushi, their teriyaki chicken, pot stickers, and of course green tea ice cream. All of which was great! I'm just not impressed with the servers. For a tiny place they should be on the ball and quick, that's the only reason I didn't leave a 5 star review. We will continue to visit Say Sushi because it is delicious! read more
