    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.

    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.

    Thank goodness Maricopa has a good sushi place! I moved here about a year ago, and sushi is one of my favorite foods. This place does a really good job with their food. Although they are always busy, the tuna sashimi satisfies my cravings! The take out wait time is always 45 mins, and they only take phone orders. I wish they had an online ordering system. Try not to come on a Saturday night... you'll be waiting for a table. They recently had a remodel; new tables, chairs, and wall art. It looks good! They definitely need to expand. Find a bigger space. I recommend the 911 roll! I recently tried their deluxe bento box! It was the best! Comes with so much food and only $17!

    Constantly take their phone off the hook so it rings busy rather than answering to tell you they are busy. Horrible service.

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.

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.

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. Tonight this room was reserved for Yelp's "Elite All-Stars" and hosted by the Roka-Akar and the wonderful Phoenix Yelp Community Manager (CM) Francheska J, I popped my head in to say hello to her and she was kind enough to give me some merch.
