    Diamond Roll
    Yersalem B.

    Went in tonight for my daughter's 7th birthday. She wanted sushi and I'm so glad we gave this spot a shot rather than driving into town. We were sat immediately. The dishes took a while to get to us, but they were very busy as expected on a Friday night. The food was well worth the wait - absolutely delicious. The ambiance was nice, bustling chatty and very alive. The seating is close, we were basically elbow to elbow with the next table, but thankfully they were a nice group who didn't mind too. Pricing was really great, I was surprised to get the $20 bill. Before tax, my diamond roll was $11.95, her California roll was $4.95 and her capris sun was $1.50. The meal came with complimentary miso soup and fresh ginger & wasabi. Overall a great dinner. They offered my daughter a cute mochi birthday dessert dish with a candle to boot! Was very cute. Will definitely go again!

    The sushi rolls were amazing!! Everything tastes really fresh here. Highly recommend. Service was friendly and quick. Even though Say Sushi looks like a hole in the wall from the outside, don't let that fool you- they serve high quality, delicious food. We will for sure be back to try more rolls!

    Online ordering now available! Made it easier for our to-go order this time, but still was a little chaotic at pickup. Food stayed fresh & tempura items were still hot and crispy. Monkey balls are always a must.

    Firecrackers

    We had a great experience at Say Sushi. The service was quick & the food tasted very fresh. The seating area feels upscale. We tried the kiss me roll, Philly roll, firecrackers & beef bulgogi and everything was great. Also their sprite tasted great which is a big win in my book!

    I came for dinner with a friend and sat at the bar. Chef Kenny assisted us and he was such a nice man! We ordered the house salad, naomi sashimi, a ninja roll with ponzu & lemon zest. The food was so fresh and delicious! I was very impressed and would definitely go again the next time I'm in that area.

    Tasty. Best in Maricopa, ha ha. Good for take away, but the dinning room smells and has for awhile. If they fix that it would help a lot!

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.

Their happy hour is a good price, cocktail is well made and their service is always friendly at their numerous outlets. There is also a small disadvantage of chain energy; although it is polished, it may not be as intimate as a smaller and chef-driven place. The size is good in terms of quality, though, you will not be amazed by innovation. A secure, gratifying option to the groups, families or those who want to eat sushi solely predictably.

    We went before a concert. It was a 45 minute wait which is totally understandable. However,…read morebased on the service from checking in with the host to the server to the food, it's clear the wait is so long because they are very dysfunctional. The food came out luke warm and they never brought out my California Rolls until I asked and it was blamed on the chef. My drink was never refilled until I was finished eating. I rarely ever saw the server to even ask. At the end, the manager came around and said she heard I wanted to talk to her and I never asked for a manager. It seems they can't even send a manager to the right table and I'm sure whoever did ask for a manager is even more frustrated. Also, major warning: if you are prone to vertigo, DO NOT go in the women's restroom. Nothing in the room is straight. I wish someone would have warned me because I came out dizzy and nauseous. Not sure I'll return to this location, but might give the Tempe location a try.

It's well placed amounst popular resorts, endless choices of golf courses, high end shopping, Spas and other eateries. For our of state visitors it is located in an area that provides a great destination for conferences and vacation launching point to enjoy what Scottsdale has to offer. Parking 5/5 There is a great turn-about like drop off near the front door I took advantage of. Other semi private parking is located along the west and south in front and behind the restaurant. Ambiance 5/5++ After passing through the foyer, you're greeted by staff receptionists who quickly get your experience started. The restaurant opens up to a large open dining space that includes an impressive "baresk" wrap around serving counter which allows guests to experience and interact with the kitchen staff. Adjacent to the main dining area is a very trendy wraparound bar and a little more intimate lounge with tables for guest meetups, date nights, after business meetings or relax after playing 18 holes at a nearby course. Facing the bar is the wine cellar, a floor to ceiling long glass presentation of their collection. There is a separate special event room in the back for hosting private dinners with special event reservations.
