The best! All I really need to say... if anyone posts a negative or disparaging comment about this place, I'm sure it's because they chose to only spend money on a buffet style method vs actually spending money on the goods. Wonderful food, extremely welcoming staff and overall, a great experience! read more

Freshest tasting sushi around. Never disappointed here. I'm super picky and everything I've tried here has been superb quality. Weird that it's in the middle of Chandler and is this good. Good prices and quick service as well. Definitely recommend this place for sushi! read more

Not fresh. Overpriced for the poor quality. Sushi should be maintained at a much colder temp to be safe. Service was slow.

First time eating here today and it was pretty good. Boyfriend and I have tasted sushi in many different places (also have both worked for Benihana) and we're within walking distance of this place so gave it a shot and glad we did. Service was fast and friendly even with a decent amount of people dining in. We enjoyed all 4 rolls we got and they gave us complimentary miso soups as well as sushi sliced oranges for dessert. Very cute hole in the wall sushi joint to stop in at if in the area! read more

Lovely family owned place with fresh sushi and they family is so kind with their serviceand their food. They always seem to give everyone free food. clean and fun vibes. Try it out! read more

Stopped by at 11 PM after flying in to town and before checking into a hotel. We were the only ones there. The sushi was really good. The service was just ok but I would definitely go here again when in town. I love that they are open late. read more

Service here is very good and friendly. The food is reasonably priced and very tasty. I enjoy the vibes more then anything else. It's a nice place to bring your friends and talk while enjoying some very good food. read more

Came back from visiting out of town and my family was super hungry but craving sushi. We first were looking for another restaurant but was unable to find it so we settled here. The restaurant seems to be family run and unfortunately we got the youngest server. She constantly dismissed us when we ask for simple things like lemon for our water or for refills. When we were ready to order, she never checked up on us and we had to waive her down. Then when asking for specifically 3 forks, she came back with only two. Now the food is average. I got the Hurricane which is suppose to have a crunchy top and spicy mayo but it was not crunchy or spicy. My younger sisters got a plate of teriyaki to share and we once again had to ask for another plate. This place is not worth it. read more

This place is really good! It's clean, service was super friendly, and food was good. Can't get any better than that! They have an all you can eat sushi deal going on. My boyfriend loves the sushi. I ordered the udon and it was delicious. Broth was fish based. Might be our new sushi place. Will come again. read more

For some reason most of the sushi places in gilbert close for a couple hours in the afternoon, not sure why. Since we didn't know about this quirk of Gilberts we tried two places before ending up here. I even double checked their archaic website to make sure they were open. They haven't bothered to update their hours though so they were closed when we arrived but opened 15minutes later, so we decided to stick around. We were given drinks and menus by the kid who sat us and then we didn't see a waitress for at least 15 minutes. We decided to go with the all you can eat option even though it only has rolls (no appetizers/desserts) and doesn't include their "specialty rolls." We ordered a rainbow roll, a salmon roll, a shrimp tempura roll and a las vegas roll. It was another 20 minutes before we got our food (we almost left, clearly we should have), meanwhile a couple that had come in a few minutes after us had gotten all their food was getting ready to leave. Both the raw rolls were WARM, and frankly disgusting! We couldn't finish either of them. The fried rolls were decent, the tempura shrimp was overcooked. After they'd given us our rolls another waitress pops up and asks if we were given our miso, which we hadn't been, of course. So we got that partway through our meal. Then the waitress just disappears again and there's no one around that we can flag down for refills. Their Soy sauce is nasty, it's strangely sweet and very watery, we're actually curious if they didn't accidentally put in some other sauce. We've never tasted any soy sauce that's remotely similar to that. When our dour faced waitress finally showed up again we explained how the raw rolls were gross and asked if we could instead be charged for the rolls separately instead of the all you can eat (saying we'd pay for the bad rolls as well), since after that crap we really weren't in the mood for more sushi and hadn't ordered nearly $40 worth of food. She very rudely refused to do that, and told us we'd have to pay for the rolls we didn't eat regardless of whether we liked them or not. We also asked for refills (our first in the hour+ we'd been stuck there) and she actually had the nerve to say "half glass?" Total cheapskates. In my annoyance as she was walking away I said "1 star" quite a bit more loudly than I had intended. Which she obviously heard because she came back (smiling for the first time) and said since we were new customers they wouldn't charge us for the uneaten rolls. She then proceeded to rave about the watermelon slices, like those alone could give them a good review. They were, however, delicious and because my hubby's allergic I got to eat all 6 slices! lol I really can't give them credit for good watermelon though. We definitely won't be going back. read more

I've been to Sushi San 4 times now, and they already know me by name and know what I like to eat! The first time I went to Sushi San, I was shopping for costume props at Goodwill and I figured there couldn't really be a good sushi place next door. I decided to take the plunge. I was greeted kindly, service was fast and friendly and the sushi was actually quite delicious. After the third visit, the owners kindly offered me a free set of nice chopsticks, labeled with my name to keep at the restaurant for when I am there. I have been dieting, so no rice for me lately. Luckily, they have a delicious Spicy Sashimi Salad, which I get with scallops added to it. Complimentary Miso Soup and Watermelon to cleanse the palate, too. This is exactly the kind of place I love to support. Family owned and operated. Amazingly hospitable service that you aren't likely to see outside of fine dining. Very nice quality sushi(even compared to my favorite Shimigomo). And did I mention they carry Soju! Sake's sweeter, stronger Korean brother! Go there! Bring friends! This place deserves your business. read more

This is the first time the hubby and I have been here to dine in since the pandemic started and honestly, it feels just the same as it did before. Same relaxed atmosphere, same great food, same fantastic service. Each plate was as pretty as a picture and the salmon never disappoints. Are there better tasting sushi restaurants in town? Yes. But none of them give me the same feeling of genuine hospitality that Sushi San does. read more

This was the first sushi restaurant I have visited in years, and the very first one I've visited in Arizona. The friend I went with said it was the best sushi restaurant in the east valley (some poll or other said so), thus we decided to take a stab at it. And, to be honest, I mainly wanted to taste miso soup again (one of my favorite soups on the planet). We walked in and it looked like any typical asian restaurant. To one side was a long bar, where you can sit and eat, or sit and drink saki or beer. To the other side was a long row of booths. We decided to booth it up. We sat down and shrugged... seemed fine so far. The decor looked a little cheap, but the more hole-in-the-wall a place is, the more likely I will like it. So, we both order a Japanese beer, take out the sushi list, and just go to town. We order just about one of everything, including bowls of miso soup. I was surprised that the sushi came out one at a time. We'd dig into one, and once we were almost done and forming our opinions about it, another one would come out. That was kinda fun. Every kind we decided to get was exquisite, and reminded me of my favorite sushi joint in Minneapolis, Kikugawa (and believe you me - I've tried EVERY sushi restaurant in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul metro area). Not only was the sushi tasty but it was *beautiful*. They must have really talented sushi chefs working for them, because it was wonderful. This was also the first time I got "deep fried" sushi. If you haven't tried it... DO IT! We got a deep fried roll that had crab, avocado, cream cheese, cucumber, and rice... wow. Mind blown (can you tell I really love certain things??). If I can find other friends who would like to go out to a sushi restaurant in the east valley, this restaurant will definitely be revisited by me! (Plus, surprise, they gave us free dessert! Yay watermelon!) read more

I noticed the other night that I gave this restaurant a 4 star rating, but really Sushi San deserves 5 stars. They treat you like family every time from the first time. I became a regular from the start. I bought chopsticks on my second visit there because I knew I would be coming back for more. And I returned just about every week after that. And I've taken friends and roommates. This is a family owned restaurant and the server is really funny and gives me free items once in a while. I'm not saying to expect free items and I don't want to advertise that, but maybe that will be a perk for you. It is for me! Other than the great service and lovely family that owns the restaurant, the sushi is delicious! The special rolls are really good. I always end up eating more than I should because it's so good. Favorites: Just about all the special rolls Mountain roll Spicy tuna hand roll Miso soup Edamame read more

This place is great. My guy and I went in on a weeknight around 9:00pm and we had the entire place to ourselves. The staff was very attentive and treated us like kings. The food was very good and inexpensive. They have great prices on drinks and $0.99 sushi. We had the Sake Sushi, Caterpillar Roll and Alaska Roll. Everything was good and presented beautifully. The server brought us complimentary miso soup and edamame. The sushi chef gave us some squid salad on the house. The atmosphere is great, I really like the decor. We will be regulars... read more

The sushi was ok. Not great. The service however, was awful. Our waiter seemed annoyed to have to serve us. One of us ordered from the all you can eat menu, and the waiter was just rude about reading the rules. To make matters worse, when giving the order, he then asked "are you sure you can eat all of that?" I will never go back. Buyer beware. read more

Good not great. I choose the all you can eat. Great deal but when you go that route they make the pieces very large with a ton of rice to fill you up. Big Thick slices of fish , and rice overstuffed hand rolls are not the makings of tasty sushi. Also, I felt like I was being watched over like a hawk and anytime I ordered more sushi I felt like they were upset. Wow you eat more? was one comment I heard them say to me. I'm a big guy (6'4 ") and can eat my fair share but I assure you I didn't eat that much that they should have been giving me the evil eye. Overall if you want cheap prices and average quality this place fits the bill. If you can afford to pay for quality go elsewhere. read more

Sushi is good but not amazing. You get a free bowl of miso soup with your order. My friend and I were going to do the all you can eat, but we decided against it because the options included were very limited. read more

I like this place! The sushi that I had was good - what made me enjoy it even more was that there was so much detail and care into making the rolls. Beautiful presentation! :) I also ordered the mochi for dessert --- it was so cute how they made it look like a fish! As you can tell by now, I love pretty looking food. And what's so great about this place is that they are able to make their food look gorgeous AND delicious! Service here was also great :) Even though everyone commented on the extra food they give like the miso soup, fruit, and edamame, I couldn't help but feel so special every time our server brought those items to us. So charming! Oh, and the fruit display was gorgeous as well :p I really want to give this place 5 stars, but I'm going to be a butt and say that I couldn't go up to five because the table where we were seated at was a bit dirty. So really, I wish I could mark it as 4 1/2 stars. But to their defense, I can be pretty picky and anal so ignore that part if you aren't so neurotic k? This place is great! I will be back :) read more

Tried this for the first time this past weekend. My boyfriend and I did the all you can eat but were disappointed that it didn't include the sashimi but none the less we stuffed our faces till we were sick. Definitely good quality rollls and we just told the chef to have some fun and he definitely made some awesome rolls. Will definitely return to try some other things on the menu as well. read more

Let me just start by saying, I am a regular here and will not come back after the service I've just experienced. Went to Sushi San to show a friend how great this place was and instead... The owner questioned me RUDELY about ordering the all you can eat option. She scolded us for not telling them verbally that we wanted all you can eat, when we clearly ordered from the all you can eat form... (There's two different papers to fill). When I mean scolded, that included her giving us an attitude, rude tone, and being unapologetic. How are you as a customer supposed to react? Especially being a loyal customer? On top of that, they didn't honor our choice for AYCE sushi, and charged us for each plate.... The bill was then corrected but point is... It was a really bad experience. The food was awesome. It will always be awesome, but the service here is terrible. They're rude and always question you about your order. They seem to get mad and irritable when you order a lot as well. They are even rude on the phone, so this is a fair warning. read more

I never have a bad experience here the food always comes out amazing and all of the staff is extremely nice!! Nothing to complain about!

I've come here two years in a row on my birthday and they have yet to disappoint! The sushi is top-notch and the staff always go above and beyond! If you are looking for a nice place to enjoy some quality sushi. Then you can't beat Sushi San. read more

First time for lunch and big surprise. Delicious sushi and rolls. We had ASU special roll and DECEMBER roll...very good. They served us a Miso soup and Edamane which we thanked very much. Very attentive service. When in Chandler / Gilbert a place to dine. read more

If it wasn't for the great service, I would have given no stars. I visited this place with my wife and we were excited to have discovered a new sushi place so close to home. The staff received us wonderfully, but that is as good as it got. Even though we received complimentary fruit and a few pieces of sushi, the food was very disappointing. The sushi rice was under seasoned and the pieces of yellow tail and salmon that covered the rice were entirely to big for the tiny bit of rice. The sushi rice was terribly underseasoned, very bland and needed more vinegar, sugar, and salt. This ruined the sushi for me. My wife ordered the BBQ Ribs and let me say I have found more meat at a vegan buffet. The ribs were fat and bone! Where's the BEEF! We should have seen the Red Flag, the place was empty on a Friday night. Before the food arrived my wife and I thought, "This is great, we have the whole place to ourselves, WE ARE SO LUCKY!" Now I know why were were the only souls, except for one guy who wandered in for drinks and noodle soup. I can say I will not be a regular here. read more

This place sure is yummy. I was introduced here by a regular and was informed that I should be ready to eat some good sushi. My friend sure did not disappoint! The place has a neat idea in which you "buy" a set of chopsticks and everytime you go in, you get a discount. My memory isn't so great with all of the names on the menu but basically they have an AYCE menu which isn't too shabby. Eat like you've never eaten before! read more

Delicious! Went here for Father's Day with my parents and it was delicious!!!! Sushi and seaweed salad and everything was so good! They have mochi ice cream too and iced matcha green tea! read more

Not a bad thing to say about this place! We love their food and their service. Fish is always fresh and we love their "service"....free edamame, tempura, salmon skin... They really do need to hire another server and sushi chef though. Don't go here if you are in a hurry. It can take upwards of two hours to eat at their busy times, but we really like the laid back atmosphere, so it's not an issue for us! read more

Came to this place late Saturday night. They were open till midnight which worked for us. It was my son and I out for a little late night bite. The decor is classic Japanese. The wait staff greeted us and was very friendly. We asked for a recommendation on a sushi and it was top notch. The price was great, service was great. They even gave us potstickers on the house. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone. The price is good and the fish is spectacular. read more

Wow..got lucky and stumbled upon this place. Dead shopping center but wow. Seems like a family place as the waiters seemed like teenagers. I had the 911 roll which was a roll that has cucumber as the outside section..it was fantastic! They brought us some free edamame as well. The miso soup was hot and free....Hmm...Ah yes..The Sapporo was nice and cold. Prices good. We will be back. read more

I've been coming here for nearly two years now. The owners know how I like my Mountain Roll. It's a great price for rolls! Im extremely picky when it comes to raw fish this is one of the best places in the valley!! I highly recommend the Mountain Roll, Lion King Roll, and Salmin roll. read more

My sister and I love grabbing take out from here. They have gotten to know us and usually throw in a free appetizer now as a surprise. The sushi is good. If it was excellent I would have given them 5 stars. It is probably the best quality sushi in the area though. read more

I love this local restaurant! I live across the street so my husband and I have taken to walking over and having some sushi from time to time. The workers are always so nice and the atmosphere great! Once we went in with our small daughter (toddler), and they were so great interacting with her and making the visit really special for her too even though children don't always like sushi as much as the parents. We have always have great service and fantastic food. When we get take out we always seem to find an extra appetizer given for free. When we eat in the restaurant they always seem to give us a light dessert for free (pineapple and oranges cut up and beautifully displayed). We recently had my birthday dinner there with friends and I must say, they know how to make a girl feel special! Great service, even with a party as large as ours (15 - 20 people). Our food took a bit to get out because of all the orders (they let us have as many separate checks as we wanted) but we had our drinks and they made sure we didn't wait for anything else. The rolls and sashimi were fantastic! Too much to eat! Also to my surprise, they kept bringing me birthday rolls on top of what I ordered. I got 2 special 'birthday rolls' and then even got dessert while they sang happy birthday. Top that all off with a couple pictures (one that I signed and they get to keep and then one for me to take home) and the fact that the birthday person eats free with 10 or more other people it was mind blowingly amazing! I recommend Sushi San to anyone and every one that wants to have a good night out. Relaxed and chill or making sure that you are having a lot of fun they can make it happen for you! read more

I'm really excited for this place. They're really close to my house, and they have really good sushi. Looks like they get some good specials in every once in awhile, as well. I came in for lunch one day and had a very tasty meal. They had anago on the specials board, but they were already out of it by the time I came in. Ah well- next time! read more

This restaurant look small from outside but inside was pretty spacious. We tried some nigiri sushi, sashimi, rolls and fresh oysters. All the fish we ate were pretty fresh but Chef's knife skill wasn't up to par. He butchered the fish for our nigiri sushi. They were all different sizes, thickness and shape. Taste was fine but did not look appetizing. Like any other typical sushi places in the Valley they specialize in rolls. Mountain roll we had was pretty good and very spicy the way I like it. Best of the evening was fresh oysters. They were fresh and tasty. We'll be back for the fresh oysters for sure. read more

We were on the hunt for a sit down sushi place that was open after hours. Thanks to Yelp we found Sushi San and the selection looked amazing. Once we arrived it was pretty quiet for a Friday night and we found that there was tons of seating table, booth and sushi bar. We were sat at a booth and helped promptly. To our surprise the selections were incredible. So many different rolls, sushi, dishes etc. We ordered 3 rolls and the chef was nice enough to have given us a 4th on the house. Every single thing we ordered was AMAZING. I have no idea how I've never heard of this spot before. The quality, portions, service and price were some of the best I've ever been to in the East Valley of Arizona. This instantly became one of my favorite spots. The staff were super nice and took such good care of us. Our booth and the atmosphere was really intimate, the place looked really awesome and decorative aswell. I can't praise it enough, Sushi San is legit my favorite spot in the East Valley and we've only been here once! read more

The food is great, service is at times slow, and the place has an older feel. Service will be slower when it's rush hour/busy. So far the sushi has been very good every time I've been here. It's true that when you first walk in there is a musty smell but once you go to your table you don't notice it at all. It's a mom and pop place and their wait staff is limited so be forewarned. On this particular visit, my partner and I arrived at 4:30pm when they first opened for their evening shift. We were seated promptly and our orders were taken right away. Our sushi boat arrived at our table about 20 mins later (I timed it) and we had complimentary miso soup as well as a seaweed salad prior to that. The sushi boat was worth the $45 because you get a lot of sushi (good for 3 people...we ended up with leftovers) and we spend a bit more than that when we order rolls or a la carte. We were even provided with a free complimentary order of edamame (not usual). Everything was delicious and both our server and a woman who is either the owner or manager stopped by to check on us. We'll be coming back. read more

This place has AYCE, it has happy hour, it has a free birthday special!! Awesome right? They have it advertised on a little sidewalk sign! Great! Lets go in and see what these specials are all about :) Place was empty, no joke there was one other table the whole time we were there, granted it was a monday night, but still, that is not good sign, still they have specials!!! So we stayed, We received a menu and the standard piece of paper to check what you want. So I wondered where the AYCE menu was, or the happy hour info was, something that resembled the specials listed on the board! It wasn't my bday, so didn't look at that. There were some "instructions" on a board behind the sushi bar about the bday thing, bring a guest and make a reservation... too complicated to try and figure out. Since I was hungry, I just ordered some nigiri sushi and one roll that was $12 called the crazy horse. This totaled to about 26 dlls... and I questioned my decision to eat here. Yes, I am being cheap, but I know a guy named Pancho not too far from here that has better sushi... and better prices and better music but with crappier service if you don't sit at the bar. Crazy Horse roll, you may have gone on the biggest looser challenge and won, because you looked a lot smaller than the picture on the menu and boy did you have a lot less types of fish inside of you. You did taste good, but I think you need an updated picture. Service was friendly, but not fast. They gave us complimentary tempura veggies, which was a nice touch. My son had their chicken fried rice, because he is a teenager, and well, you know, he is negative nancy lately. He didn't care for this dish, and even though he's a teenager, I can't blame him, it was gross. Will I come back? Only if someone else is paying. read more
