    Curry Beef
    Brian S.

    Wow! What a great experience. First and last is that the service and staff were amazing. They were extremely friendly and helpful, providing great insights into the best ways to enjoy the dishes and fresh wasabi! So rare to find fresh wasabi. The curry bowl was flavorful and not oily. The meat and veggies were tender, and we loved the use of purple cabbage. The salmon sashimi was well portioned with fresh lemon slices plus the fresh wasabi and ginger. It made the salmon pop. The spicy scallop handroll was not heavy in sauce so you could taste the salmon. It was a perfect size and portion of rice to scallops. The special roll was very bright and fresh. With salmon, mango, jalapeno, and lemon. The wasabi and ginger added light spice. It was a party on the tastebuds. The restaurant was clean and well kept, back to the staff they just kept maxing us with their care and friendliness. The ice cream sandwich as a closing to the meal reminded us of childhood. If you want affordable, good quality sushi with friendly people, this is a place to visit!

    $92 charge

    I've been coming here regularly and the same staff is always there the server even knows my usual order by heart. That's why this experience was so disappointing. I came in with family and ordered my usual (2 California rolls and 2 gyoza). The food was just okay this time noticeably not as good as it normally is. The real issue was the bill. The server took my card without showing me the check first, then charged me $92. When I asked for an itemized receipt, I found multiple things added that we never ordered: extra gyoza, a full sashimi plate instead of half, "fancy" wasabi we didn't ask for, and other overcharges. When I pointed it out, she got visibly nervous and couldn't explain it. She only offered $20 back, which didn't even cover the incorrect charges, and refused to fix it further. I've always trusted this place, especially since they know me and my order, but this felt really off. Being charged for things we didn't order and not being shown the bill upfront is a serious issue. I won't be coming back after this and wouldn't recommend anyone else coming here.

    Ima fan. Place is always good. Super nice people and good service. It's a tiny restaurant with 6 tables and a dozen spots at the bar. Music is good too. We had a Philly roll the strange part was it didn't have cucumber but instead large chunks of salmon

    Twice Good Roll

    Delicious!! Refreshing rolls and very kind staff!! We are their new biggest fans!! Order the twice good!

    Small spicy tuna roll now comes covered in sauce. $10
    Alisha O.

    Wow. Prices have gone up and quality seems down. Bumping to 3 stars because the owner is always so nice! The basic spicy tuna roll is now $10 - and covered in sauce, ugh- and the avocado roll is $8. This is a significant price jump and much higher than other sushi restaurants. I get that everything is expensive and it's tough to keep fresh fish but I don't think charging 30-50% more than other, more popular restaurants is going to be successful. Rice was dry, avocado was scarce. This is $18 pre-tax, $22 after tax and tip for takeout.

    Fever roll

    I like the the food and atmosphere in the place. I came with my mother for her birthday and the owner is too notch with the service! I also had my first sake bomber amazing

    Love this little gem. Fresh sushi! Chill atmosphere. After dinner aperitif is always a little surprise, today it's probiotics! Genius

    Speciality roll: Red Mountain
    Stephanie L.

    Sushi Time is the epitome of a mom and pop restaurant! On the Tuesday night we dined in, there was only one family of 6, and they knew the owner well, discussing family members like old friends. We had the Shrimp Las Vegas and Red Mountain roll (their specialty). The rolls were a good size, with good portions of tuna, and the RM was plated beautifully. The jalapeno and mango combo reaaallly works and is super fresh! Good roll but a bit steep at $18.. Service was prompt by the owner and she checked on us throughout our meal, offering suggestions on picking up the massive RM roll (by the side, not the top) and trying fresh ginger with the tuna. After the two rolls and sake, the total was $40 so definitely a higher price point than most sushi restaurants. Definitely consider Sushi Time as a treat!

    Sushi Time was a quaint little sushi spot we checked out before attending a nearby comedy show. the place was pretty quiet with only a couple of other guests coming in after we were about halfway done with our meal. the staff were very nice and made some great recommendations on not just menu items but even the best condiments and accompaniments to maximize the flavor. Our server even got my first roll set up for me - which was both surprising and cool! Not sure if I would drive to enjoy but if in the mood for sushi and in the area I would likely return. Shrimp tempura and spicy tuna were probably my favorites!

    Salmon, lemon, mango jalapeño
    Yogi M.

    This place had great food and great service. I usually get more basic sushi rolls, but this one was unique with mango jalapeño and lemon. What a delicious taste. I definitely will be coming back here on my next work trip

    Salmon time

    I have been wanting to find a sushi place near home and I think I've find a regular spot! The service was very fast and the waitress gave great suggestions. My son is 12. Ramen and California rolls are about as adventurous as he gets. The ramen, although basic, was more than perfect for him. He really won't eat all of the add ins that some other places do. I had the twice good and salmon time and really enjoyed both. 100% will be back. It's relaxed inside, you can have a nice conversation without yelling over loud music.

    Popped into this place for our last meal before leaving AZ and it did not disappoint! We were the…read morefirst people in. 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!

    On a Sunday evening, after checking out the Desert Botanical Garden, I was looking for some food in…read morethe area. I came across Zu Izakaya and it's great reviews as one of the options. I love Japanese food so my decision was made. I drove over and parked in their complimentary lot. Ambiance (3.5/5): I've been to Japan and there are plenty of izakayas there. Think of them as small bars which often serve solid food. Zu fits that bit. It's a relatively small restaurant, probably seats about 30 people. and it's pretty no frills for a Japanese spot. I was seated at a booth in the corner of the restaurant. They have free WiFi which is always a good touch. Service (3/5): Service was friendly, though a bit inconsistent. My waitress wasn't as attentive as I would have liked. The type of service where you have to flag them down to get what you want and to close out. Drinks (4/5): Zu has a nice menu of Japanese and Korean beverages, including sake, soju, Japanese beer, and more. With that being said, I just had an iced green tea. Food (4/5): I got a nice variety. I went with the Japanese sausage off of the grill menu, the OBI mayo roll off of the sushi menu, and the cheese corn off of the appetizer menu. Let's start with the sausage. It's a small item, two small sausages, but absolutely delicious. The sausage was bursting with flavor and basted in a sweet sauce. Minus the portion size, perfection. The cheese corn also hit the spot, but the execution was off. The corn is served on a hot platter, and unfortunately some of the corn on the edges was badly burnt. The type of situation where they should start over. Which they didn't. Lastly, the OBI mayo roll is essentially a California roll with marinated warm shrimp on top in a mayo sauce. I didn't love the hot and cold combo (shrimp and sushi), but outside of the temperature, it was a delicious roll. All in all, a very food meal. My only gripe with Japanese food is that it can get expensive quick. Given that Zu is in Tempe, I was hoping that prices would be a little cheaper. With that being said, they do have a solid happy hour (and reverse happy hour) with both food and drink specials. Next time I stop by, I'd like to check out some of their Korean options. I focused on the Japanese stuff this time (which makes the majority of the menu). Next time around, the bulgogi is calling my name!

The space feels stylish and contemporary, with a sleek atmosphere that makes it perfect for both a casual dinner and a special night out. The menu is truly avant-garde! Creative, innovative, and full of intriguing options. That said, I have to admit I felt a little overwhelmed at first and wasn't sure what to order because everything sounded so interesting. In the end, I chose the Omakase Dinner "Buzz," and I absolutely loved the concept. It includes miso soup, 9 pieces of nigiri, a mini poke, and a 5-piece roll -- such a fantastic idea if you're undecided and want to try a bit of everything! I think it's a splendid option, especially for first-timers or anyone who wants a complete tasting experience without having to choose individual items. If I could change one small thing, it would be the roll selection. I wish there were an option to choose from the specialty rolls instead of only the basic ones. That extra flexibility would make the experience even better. Overall, the quality of the food was very good, and the overall experience was enjoyable. It's definitely a place worth visiting, and I'll certainly be back to try the curry and ramen next time!

Our uber dropped us off in the back of an apartment building and we walked a short distance to the restaurant. The restaurant is very loud, we were sat at a high top table and it was kind of awkward being elevated in the middle of the restaurant with lights beaming directly on you. Ordered a bottle of Sauvignon blanc. It was nice that it arrived in an ice bucket, but was disappointed by the stemless glasses. The service was extremely slow. Had to ask for soy sauce, wasabi and ginger. When someone that was not our server gave it to us, it was basically empty. The sushi was just alright. For the price I would've rather gone somewhere nicer. My roommate and friend did not like their rolls at all (avocado roll and spicy salmon) the spicy tuna was good, pretty hard to mess that up. I would not get the soft shell crab roll again, the roll was big and falling apart immediately. Nobody in our party of 7 finished the food they ordered. Overall not great service or sushi, I wouldn't come back here.

The spice levels felt pretty accurate, the eggs were cooked perfectly, the meat was tender, and the noodles had a great texture. Each bowl had its own flavor profile, but both were equally delicious. We also tried the takoyaki (octopus balls). I was already getting full, so I wasn't as excited about them, but my boyfriend described them as a BBQ pancake bite. Overall, this is a great spot for ramen. I did notice the music was all girl bands and no boy bands. Clean restaurant, good service, flavorful food, and a fun atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.
