My friend and I stopped in for happy hour last night, and while the bartenders were really friendly, everything else left me disappointed. We ordered two pieces of the salmon sushi, a spicy tuna roll, caterpillar roll, vegas roll, and two other rolls that I can't remember. Wow, now that I type that, we ate a ridiculous amount of food. Anyways, I really liked the salmon and spicy tuna roll, but everything else was just okay. I definitely wouldn't have wanted to pay full price for anything. Unfortunately, the caterpillar roll was not on happy hour and it was definitely not worth $15. When the bill came, I was kind of surprised it was $85. Granted we ordered a lot of food, but it was still happy hour. I noticed my wine wasn't discounted and the bartender said that wine wasn't on happy hour, even though the happy hour menu says "all wines by the glass...$2 off." Some of the rolls that we ordered that were on happy hour also did not seem to be discounted. For the price, I don't really think I will be making Sushi Brokers a regular happy hour spot. I think Stingray's sushi is just as good, and the happy hour is much more affordable. read more

Once is not enough Today, I decided I wanted Sushi for lunch and was told by a coworker that Sushi Brokers served the best tasting Sushi in Phoenix. Initially, I was skeptical because I am very particular when it comes to Sushi, but I decided to give Sushi Brokers a try and I am so glad I did. Unlike most sushi restaurants that have very limited seating at the bar, Sushi Brokers understands it's more fun to watch the chefs arrange their delicious creations and have plenty of seating at the bar. My lunch companions and I feasted on Cowgirl Sushi Rolls, Crunchy Rolls, Surfer Rolls, Lollipop Rolls, and spicy edamame. All our entrée's were fresh and absolutely delicious. My favorite was the Cowgirl rolls which are made with Yellowtail, layered on top of a Sushi roll, with Spicy Hot Sauce on top. The sushi was fresh, delicious and artfully presented. The atmosphere inside Sushi Brokers is inviting and, a bit upbeat. The service at Sushi Brokers can be a little slow however, we enjoyed our visit and the clientele are very friendly. You can't go wrong at Sushi Brokers. read more

I like the sushi pizza a lot over there. Its very rich. The staff is always welcome and friendly.

I've been back several times since my first review... my girlfriend loves their sushi. And I agree, their sushi is really good. They have a sushi chef that makes his own special "off menu" items and they are delicious! But again, the staff is spending more time chatting in the corner than waiting on the client. We have to request food, drinks and water refills half the time! Most of the staff appears to be more focused on "catching up" with each other and not with the customer. read more

Really good food, super fresh ingredients (veggies, seafood). I had yaki soba with seafood so I can't comment on the sushi. Great service from hostess to busser. My server Joel went above and beyond giving me a great dining experience. This location (Arcadia) is super clean. Only gave four stars because the online menu is unreadable (blurry) and they did not have any paper menus except for sushi. My server tried it (QR code) on his phone and got the same results. I will definitely visit again and try the sushi next time. I like that they are open late. read more

Dined there again about a week ago. Almost identical experience as last time. Sat at the bar with my wife and ordered the same thing. Server disappeared to the kitchen. When food arrived we were short a side of rice & bomber & glass empty. Started eating... several minutes later my wife flags down the hostess. The hostess ended up doing most of the work, brought my the side of rice, found the server, asked him to grab us our beer. If it wasn't for my wife's persuasion I wouldn't have ordered the extra drinks our of frustration. From a business stand point the servers are killing the business. This place needs a front of the house Manager with PRESENCE. Servers need to to be involved and alert. I'm sure extra sales are being missed. Kudos to our hostess which "saved" the day. I believe her name was "Tia". She seemed to be picking up the slack all over the place. Once again over tipped by tipping out the hostess (more than the server). Food.. jalepeno tail was great and the hamachi collar slightly burnt. read more

User friendly. Very clean. Restrooms clean. Don't like the house music. Quick friendly service. read more

I was so excited for the long awaited Sushi Brokers to open in Arcadia. I fully expected it would be my new local "go-to" sushi place, as it is just a few blocks from my office and from my home. We've gone for lunch and have hit it up for evenings on several occasions. Overall, the food is good and the service is quality. The only qualm I have is on the price. Very few lunch specials ($15 Bento box) so it's definitely not somewhere we can go frequently as it is definitely beyond my lunch budget. They do have a good happy hour, but otherwise the prices are higher than other places around. Nonetheless - the important part - FOOD! The sushi seems very fresh and they have some great, creative rolls to try (Cowboy, Cowgirl). Tootsie roll is always a favorite. Spicy tuna roll is my favorite, and they definitely do this one very well - great flavor and just the right amount of heat! The Bento box with sushi is a good and filling lunch option (with miso soup, veggies, an orange). Tuna Tataki was a great choice. The sashimi is good, but the portions are on the smaller side in comparison with other sushi places in the area. Food: 4 stars Service: 4 stars Price: 2 stars Overall: 3.5 stars With that said, happy hour is definitely the time to go enjoy Sushi Brokers. There is regular happy hour until about 6:30, I believe, and then a reverse happy hour that starts at 10 pm. I just wish there were better lunch deals or locals had discount options - or even daily specials would be great. Until then...expect Biltmore or North Scottsdale prices and plan accordingly. read more

According to our server, Sushi Brokers is "a sushi place for people who don't like sushi." So is that a good sign or a big, red flag? How you answer is probably a good indication of how much you'll like this place. The fish is fresh, however purists beware - a lot of it is smoked or cooked, and the vast majority of the rolls include 'krab.' After taking a seat at the bar it was a waiting game for drinks, refills, our bill, etc. though our chef - Eddie - definitely knew what he was doing. It's a good atmosphere but, as other reviewers have stated, on the pricey side. Dinner for 2, with 2 bombers, over $100, plus tip. In the end we were full, but also reminded how much we miss Zen32. read more

This is our favorite sushi spot in the area! We love all the rolls and the staff is always super friendly and helpful. Favorites are the sushi pizza and surfer roll but everything is fantastic. read more

Eewwww......gave this place a second chance. Sushi is mealy and has this texture that just feels steamed or cooked.

Prompt service good food , took us a while after our first visit when food was good but experienced a bad server, manager took care of situation by giving us discount but that left a little scar for us to come back again even though we enjoyed sushi. But no complaints this time , really good and prompt service. Love the calamari here, California , rainbow and spicy tuna rolls were on our plane this time. read more

Interior contemporary remodel with nostalgic Pizza Hit windows. This is what the neighborhood waited, waited, and waited for. Hmm. Bring your charge card folks. Your favorite sushi bar may not easily not be toppled as pricey rolls, sashimi and drinks await you. Market price is 22% above your new payroll tax, pun intended. Fish was fresh and lollipop roll was fun. Friendly service. Water carafe on the table for the self-refills available. Unusual wet rock glass for the saki is served. Bathrooms need work. Employees may wish to leave towels outside when walking thru. read more

Oh man, where to start... Love the creative name, and service was friendly...that's about where the love ends. Onto da foodz - Some quick background, I recently moved back from the Bay Area so any time I venture to a sushi restaurant in Phoenix (which I endearingly refer to as 'Desert Sushi'), I approach with caution. We ordered four rolls, and all four of them had imitation krab in them. ALL FOUR. It was like I was eating the same roll over and over. We had held on to one of the menus in case we wanted to order more, so I inspected it quickly and took my tiny pencil and marked all their rolls with imitation krab listed in the name. It was at least 50%. In fact, one of the rolls that we ordered didn't have fake-crab-mixed-with-mayonnaise in the ingredients but it was still in our roll! We ordered a couple more and I confirmed with the waitress that these rolls did indeed NOT have krab mix. These were much better. All in all everything tasted 'fresh' just very bland. The cocktails were very sweet but not awful. Even though I think they deserve two stars, I am giving them three because I don't want to hurt local businesses, and also, many people who go here just wouldn't know better. Can't miss something you've never tried! read more

Went with the boyfriend this early evening. We went for Happy Hour. It's noisy, and busy, but the staff were plentiful and friendly. The HH menu of rolls and food was, of course, more limited than their standard menu, but still more varied than most sushi places during HH. My boyfriend ordered his standard California Roll, and Philly Roll, both of which were decent sized, and only $4.50/ea. I ordered the Las Vegas roll, which was $8.50, even during HH, which surprised me. Every other place I've been during regular hours the LV roll was around $9, so I didn't feel like I was getting much of a deal there. I like a lot going on with my sushi. Lots of texture, and complimentary flavors, which is why I usually order a tempura'd roll. I was surprised to taste the Philly roll and find it really flavorful, with a bit of spice to it that I don't normally encounter. The LV roll was pretty standard for that roll. Tasted good, but didn't knock my socks off or anything. But, since it's one of my "old faithful's", I'd order it again here, just not at the regular price (around $13 when it's not HH). After that, we were still hungry, so we decided to order 2 more rolls. The Diamondback roll was new to me, and seriously yummy. Definitely a new favorite. HH price was $8.50. The other roll we ordered wasn't on the HH menu, and was $16.50(!), but it sounded interesting, and when I saw someone else's order of it, it looked amazing, so I splurged and tried it. It's called the "Hot Lips" roll. It's really spicy, with a lot going on. My boyfriend thought it was a "once in a while" roll only because of the spicy kick, but I didn't think it was too hot at all (but, I grew up here, so I'm used to spicier food). The roll is sliced and laid flat on the plate, and all of the pieces are topped with a mix of krab, jalapeno, and spicy mayo. AWESOME. The staff was very friendly. We sat at the bar, so there was always a server around, and none of them hesitated to refill our water glasses when they saw us getting low. We got asked by at least 3 of the staff how our food was, and we just felt really taken care of. The cost for dinner for edamame, and 5 different rolls (we're water drinkers, so no drink charges) was only $48. And, bear in mind, yes, it was happy hour, but one of the rolls we ordered was $16.50, so, we thought that was a very decent price for the quantity and quality of the food. The place was loud, between the music and the customers, so I wouldn't go if you're looking for a nice, quiet dinner, but for a fun night out with good food, I'd recommend it in a heartbeat. read more

Hands Down best sushi ever. They have a variety of different types of rolls, the 'Damn Good' and 'Chimichanga' rolls are my favorites. reasonably priced happy hour - I do have to say its more expensive then RA or Stingray but you can't even begin to compare the quality of the food and drinks to these two places. Every time I visit the service is amazing and the staff is pleasant. Place is typically busy but I have always been seated and waited on within minutes. read more

Having regularly gone to Sushi Brokers for the past two years, it seemed time to write a review. I am not interested in a sushi place that is more about the drinking than food. They have a large menu of sashimi, hand rolls, maki sushi, traditional meals and appetizers. One of the few restaurants that serve Rombauer Chardonnay by the glass for only $14, and I regularly upgrade to real crab vs. krab. A few months ago, there seemed to be a decline in service quality, but tonight Hayden was our waiter and he is amazing! He's so rare in the area, that I asked him if he was part-owner. He has that sixth sense of a waiter that anticipates your needs, makes you feel like a regular and times everything perfectly. 4 stars for the sushi and 5 stars for Hayden! read more

A definite meh. We live nearby and had been excited for them to open, but gave them some time to shake of the New Place Bugs. I guess they need a lot longer. The staff was friendly, but didn't seem to know what was going on. Nearly every question resulted in a run to the kitchen to ask, and then we had to flag them down again to get the answer. Lots of options, especially if you're a fan of sushi rolls. They seem to really like tempura, as we went six rolls in a row asking "What's that one?" and finding out it had fried shrimp in it. Does anything scream tasty raw fish like rampant deep frying? Food came fairly quickly, and tasted okay, but then we had two more bouts of misheard requests from our server and it had passed from silly to annoying by that point. We had one regular roll, one mid-range roll from their list, and one of their top end rolls. I'm trying to recall the exact names, but I can't, which I guess tells you how memorable they were. And I have no idea why the place still looks like a Pizza Hut. Just not the kind of place I want to relax in and enjoy some sushi. Not horrible, just not that special. I'd almost prefer a chain like Ra over them. If you really want great sushi, look elsewhere. read more

The quality of the sushi and rolls does not reflect the prices they charge. There are far better options in the area at a better price point. Sushi-holic is the best in the area. I went on a Sunday evening and the staff all seemed to be checked out. Actually, the service was just flat out terrible. All the servers and chefs sat in the corner of the bar, by the registers, and did not pay attention to one guest. The Sushi Brokers near Kierland is much better, but still overpriced. I have found, and will continue to go to, better options in the area. read more

Me and my beautiful girlfriend frequent this sushi establishment all the time. It's our favorite. We typically go on Sundays. We always get prompt service. We love love love their happy hour and their soshito peppers are our favorite. Last time we came here our server was fantastic, her name is Paige. Super friendly, and we will continue coming to this one. It's our favorite location, and we have been to the Gilbert and Scottsdale locations :) read more

We don't have a lot of sushi options in Arcadia, so I was happy to see this restaurant arrived in our neighborhood. I went the first week they opened and *hated* it. Really, it was not a good experience, the place was not busy at all, but they were already out of Kirin Light, and they had no happy hour menu in place. Went back last Friday night and fell in love with the place. It was busy, there was an awesome happy hour menu to order from, and the specialty cocktails were great. $2 off during happy hour! Love their version of the Las Vegas roll, and will definitely go back for more happy hours in the future.... perfect price point. Some people don't like the decor, but if you've lived in Arcadia for awhile, you know this building was a Pizza Hut years ago. I think they've done a great job of turning the interior into a hip sushi joint. Go and try it! read more

Outstanding sushi. I had a rainbow roll it's a California roll that came with salmon, yellow tuna, shrimp, and tuna on the top. They have Sapporo on draft. Service is excellent and really fast. I was still hungry, the waiter Anthony, a young kid who knows his way around the menu recommended I could build my own. So the made me a yellow tail and avocado in the center and yellow tail on top. Generous serving of a type of fish that I love read more

This Sushi definitely is delicious! I got the shrimp tempura roll (like always) And enjoyed it very much! The food was delicious and I was very satisfied with my meal! Then we ordered dessert. My sister and I shared one plate of Mochi and they said the mochi came in sic pieces. The mochi came in three pieces cut in half. Plus the outer layer of the mochi was tough and tasted gross and the ice cream tasted like ice cream with SAND. read more

I was excited that there's a new sushi joint in the neighborhood, and took advantage of the Deal Chicken that was being offered. We decided to sit at the sushi bar for dinner. Service was a little weird, they had one guy that seated us from behind the bar, who then took our order for sushi, but we also wanted hot food, so we had to call him over again. He seemed a little slammed as he was doing this for everyone else too, usually servers come behind the bar to take your drink/hot food order. I've eaten at sushi bars many times, but the process here seemed a little confusing. We order the calamari, it was cooked pretty well and came with a spicy buffalo type sauce - not bad. We also ordered salmon skin, yellow tail nigiri, and the pineapple roll. The nigiri didn't seem as fresh as I would've liked it, however the pineapple roll was pretty awesome, a great mix of flavor with fresh fruit. Price was $48 before the Deal Chicken. I know I can go to Hana and get the same thing for $30 and it tastes much fresher, and the service is better. So I would probably only return with a Deal Chicken. read more

Believe it or not, first SB experience. Pretty darn good. We even mixed it up and went away from the usual rice laden rolls and did a sushi salad which was amazing. We also had the lollipop roll wrapped in cucumber - super clean, healthy and tasty too. In fact I'm gonna ask Chipotle to wrap my next burrito in cucumber. Lettuce wraps were solid but nothing new. Overall great food. As for the vibe and such, it was pretty loud with the music.. kind of like the RA style. The inside is a shiny black painted brick with white window blinds, so it's an unusual look. read more

I love going to Sushi Brokers and find it really yummy, and happy hour & lunch prices are good, but the regular menu is just a bit too expensive! But the salmon sushi is really good and fresh, and the Sanchez roll (eel and jalapeño) is my absolute fav. Oh and they make a great spicy mayo if you wanna switch it up from soy. ;) I'm attaching a picture of the lunch Bento Box I got the other day - all of that was only $11! Kara gave great service and the food was delicious as always. read more

Sushi Brokers Arcadia - Lunch Bento Box with a side of spicy mayo :) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Happy hour: started with the Volcano Chicken appetizer. Basically, small bits of chicken in a buffalo wing sauce and a scoop of rice and a useless garnish. Not impressive at all. Glass of Pinot Noir for only $4, great deal. Next, Sashimi: we tried 4 different types of fish, 3 of the 4 tasted the same, as if the fish was either previously frozen or very low grade. Also, their "sushi chefs" need some more training in knife skills as the yellowtail had a couple of "bits." And the fish portions were all inconsistent with slices of all different widths and lengths and were not very cold. For the same price of a plate of sashimi, I'll stick with my benchmark: Hiro in Scottsdale with Japanese chefs and the highest quality fish. Service was very good, except for our place setting missing soy sauce dishes that we had to nick from another table. read more

Sushi Brokers Arcadia - Sashimi! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Great atmosphere for a Friday night, but the sushi quality is lacking the standard found (and expected) elsewhere in Scottsdale. Friendly staff, but expect to find dirty dishes and sticky menus laden with slimy fingerprints. To make things worse, the sushi was below par and the salmon roll was littered with fish bones. Big no no Try Sumo Maya, Roka Akor, or Stingray for a better sushi outing. read more

This was a really disappointing experience. I had never been to this restaurant. I placed an order online for pickup. If their system told me how long the order would take, I sure couldn't figure out where. I waited around for a bit and then headed over, as I'd rather be early and not have my food sit. As expected, they told me that my order wasn't quite ready. No problem. In about 5 minutes, she presented me with a check to sign (that gave me the option for ADDITIONAL GRATUITY on top of what I already provided when placing order online), gave me my food, and I headed home. When I arrived home (about 10 minute drive), we discovered that the squid salad we ordered and paid for ($8.50) was not included. I called the restaurant and was informed they were "out of seaweed salad." I repeated that it was squid salad, not seaweed salad. They checked and I was informed that they were "out of squid salad." Um, ok......... why was I not told of this when I was at the restaurant? The options I was given were that I could come back and get another salad (again - maybe IF I WAS STILL THERE) or get a refund. I said I would like a refund please. She asked my name again and we said goodbye. It's now 2 days later and I have seen no evidence that a refund has been initiated and based on the interaction I feel sure it won't be. $8.50 isn't a ton of money, but it's a lot for food I didn't receive. And it was just all around really poor customer service. On to the food. My husband said his sushi was all right (nigiri of various types) but didn't rave about it. I had veggie lettuce wraps which were ok and veggie spring rolls which were meh. I am quite sure that part of our lack of enthusiasm for the food might be related in part to the lack of care on the part of the staff working there. No one really even said they were sorry. The restaurant was packed so I suppose they don't really care if I return. read more

This was overall just not a good experience. It started out with our waitress answering many of our questions with "I don't know" then besides grabbing our order and bringing out our drinks she was nowhere to be found until she brought our check. The edamame was by FAR the best part of the meal, which is why I give this 2 stars instead of 1. My wife ordered an $8 Moscow Mule that probably did not have any vodka in it at all. Our sushi was at least edible but not worth the price one bit. $6.50 for an alright California roll is not good and $7.75 for an Alaska roll with poorly cooked Salmon, BAD. Our other rolls were decent but again, way overpriced. Then taking a step away from the food, they were playing not that great of music and it was much too loud, but that is obviously my opinion so you may like it. But the kicker, despite the World Cup being played they had CANADIAN FOOTBALL on their TV's! Why?! Lastly, we were not even thanked by our waitress or the hostess as we left, not even a goodbye or have a nice night. Save your money. read more

Sushi Brokers Arcadia - Sushi Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Terrible customer service. They allowed me to sit at the bar for 10 mins without even offering me water. This is the kicker Is when I set down one of the servers said the lady working the bar should be with me shortly. Remind you there was only three people at the bar including myself. 10 mins later I say excuse me to the same waitress I saw when I entered and she totally ignores me. At this time I'm pissed but said let me see how much longer it'll be before I'm acknowledge. 20 mins later I finally go off. The waitress then goes and gets the woman behind the bar. She apologizes and takes my order but still is inattentive to me never asking me if I needed anything after. I then ask amother worker to call the manager for me. Guess who the manager was? The lady behind the bar that had been ignoring me. For the GM and ownership (I pray to God that she's not the GM) this took place on Saturday April 15 between the hours of 3:20 and 4:30. If management is doing this there no wonder why staff is following suite. Terrible place will never eat there again read more

Best cocktails of any sushi place. Try any of the signature drinks and you'll agree that their mixology is outstanding... And for a sushi Resturant. And come for happy hour; beer drinks bombers and three dozen rolls and nigiri are all on the HH menu for a super value ending at 6:30. But they gave us a little grace period As for the sushi, it of course did not disappoint and we stuffed ourselves on HH prices. The best part was the service. Our waitress was super and very suggestive of what her favorites were and navigating the drink menu which was a lot for a first timer trying to get our order before the end of HH Have I found my new favorite sushi bar in phx? I think so.... But I'm coming way before 6:30 next time read more

We love their happy hour especially when dining as a family. Tootsie is super affordable and the yellowtail is delicious.

Wow, these guys know how to make a restaurant look good on the outside. I think our server was a close relative of Helen Keller because I don't think she knew we existed. The food was so below par you could call it the tiger woods of sushi, except he has no arms. The potstickers? Trash. Surf n turf sushi? More like surf and barf. The worst part about it all is how over priced everything is. If you ever want to spend $17 on a meal from the local canal this is the place. Best, Guy with tastebuds read more

Food is not consistent. Sometimes the taste and quality is amazing, then the next time the rice is dry on the sushi rolls and the chimichanga roll is too crispy. I would say that makes it very hard to come back. read more

We usually go to the North location, however this location is closer to home. I would have to say that the service isn't quite as fast or as friendly as the North location. We oftentimes have to ask for drink refills or to place additional orders. The "damn good" roll is our favorite and is well worth the price. read more

When I first walked in I already saw a Ferrari parked in front so the first thought I had in my head was that this place was fancy. Which it was! I do like the interior design and feel. It was a bit too loud for my friend and I to socialize. But that's a good thing, that means they were busy! I came in and ordered the sashimi salad and I felt like it was drenched in the vinaigrette sauce. A bit too saucy for me.. Also the price is way too high for the quality of the sushi. I understand it's located in scottsdale but It wasn't worth it. Other than that, if I was to return here.. I would try their burgers. Cause that's what my friend ordered and he said it was bomb lol. Customer service was great. Our server got us everything we needed. read more

Great sushi. Fish very fresh and tasty. Nice little restaurant in Arcadia. Went with a group attending the same conference. Ordered several different kinds of rolls and a few other dishes to share. Would definitely recommend. read more

See all

I have been to two of there locations now and I always have a good experience and the food is great but this time I sat at the bar and next thing I know a roach comes crawling by me. Then my coworker says look over there and it was a bigger roach flopping on its back. It was right next to the case were the fresh fish was. I will definitely not be coming back here. For how little people were in there ( maybe 3 tables) the counters were very dirty. It sucks because I like this place. read more

Great spot near our house and we biked over for the happy hour, but I wouldn't come back for a full meal. The prices for happy hour are perfect and it would definitely be fun to come back with a group and hang since the inside is small but chill but the food was just meh and I don't know if it really was the sushi or if I just wasn't feeling it. Born and raised on the east coast living a quarter mile away from the ocean and I'm eating sushi in the desert... We had the spicy tuna roll which wasn't too spicy and some other roll with crab, crunchies, eel sauce and some other stuff mixed in and that just tasted crunchy and bland. We had the crab rangoon and even that was eh. I don't mean to bash these guys too much since I know they are new and we really did enjoy being there, but as I said...in reality it might just be personal preference and that's ok too. I don't want to be here hurting anyone's feelings since food is just so personal. Our waitress was nice and cute as was the hostess so that was cool and made us want to come back again with a group to hang out. They also have reverse happy hour so it just sounds/feels like a good place to go towards the end of the night when you want a bite and a night cap. I want to give these guys another try and hopefully I can order something that's better but I know we will go again since its just a fun spot near our house. read more
