WTF, my favorite sushi place is in Gilbert?!?!?! It's true, I saw a coupon so I checked out the reviews and decided to give it a try with a couple of friends. It was fairly quiet when we got there around 6:30pm on a Saturday but that didn't last long, it was packed just after 7. We got a large variety of rolls and sushi and we enjoyed it all. They have the usuals there and a few signature rolls that we really liked. The fish was fresh tasting and we thought the rolls were nicely sized, well prepared and had a nice presentation. I can't resist unagi and it was very tasty there. We all agreed the green mussels are awesome, luv the tangy sauce! Our last visit included non-sushi eaters and they enjoyed their entrees, it looked like they had plenty of fresh veggies and weren't sauced to death. We even got them to try a couple of the less scary rolls and a little taste of sushi and other than the scaredy cat look on their faces they said it was pretty good. I'm not a sushi samurai, I didn't train at the SCI or anything, but its the tastiest of the handful of places I've tried - in the valley. I don't think they're trying to be another place that rhymes with ma, just a nice local joint with good food & fair prices. read more

Glad I came here. Sushi was good, got the albacore and yellowtail both had a good amount of fish. The geisha was really good with the side of ponzu. I needed a quiet and mellow place to study and have lunch & this turned out to be the perfect spot. Service was fast & my waiter was nice. read more

Cheap rolls. Decent service. All I want is a cheap yellowtail roll and tuna roll. And this place does it!

They changed the wait staff. From the little blonde white girls to little Asian girls that are MUCH WORSE. By far the worst service at any Restaurant you will find in Gilbert. Especially if you go at anytime where more than 4 tables are taken up. No more special desserts, no more hellos from the owner, no more great sushi, they apparently lost their good Sushi Chef and the two guys working back there now are just too inconsistent. Sometimes you will get a decent roll but this last time, the Sushi was just falling apart all over the place. Fried Vegas rolls, COLD. miso Soup flavorless, Bathroom and Hallways Disgusting. BAD BAD BAD. After coming here for 2yrs and probably 12x, we are done. read more

Close to my house, fresh tasting rolls/sushi, chill atmosphere and cheap saki bombers on Thursdays! I love this place! Also, they have pictures of most everything on the menu which is REALLY helpful when choosing from their selection! read more

Absolutely loved their Seafood poke bowl and its sauce. Geisha roll was the best. Will come back soon.

We dined here for the first time on Saturday. It was ok. Not great, not awful, ok. The prices were decent, I thought, but they also have coupons on their website so check that out. We had the Gyoza to start which had a nice texture and subtle, but good flavors. It was a little oily but, hey, they are fried so it's to be expected. We ordered a bunch of different rolls and some were good, some were ok, some were disappointing. My favourite was the ladybug and the sriracha/sweet sauce on the plate. I loved that spiciness with the tuna! Yum!! We also had the caterpillar and dragon which were just meh. The spicy salmon was disappointing because it had zero spice to it. We should have asked them to make it more spicy. The sushi rice was inconsistent. On some rolls there was way too much, on some it wasn't wrapped tightly enough so it fell apart and on some the texture was way too gummy and gooey. I would like to try Sushiya again and try some different rolls, specify spicy and maybe try some other things on their menu because it's awfully close to my house and the prices were decent. Not a bad place, but not really that great, either. Just meh. read more

I had such high hopes for this place because of the stellar reviews. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The service was great, however, the food left much to be desired. We ordered the Las Vegas roll, a Philly roll, and a dinner combo with a Crunch roll and teriyaki chicken. Everything was so bland, and so disappointing. The food all lacked flavor, and depth. I'm not really even sure how it was possible for everything to be so blah. I'd love to give them another shot though, because the service was so awesome! read more

Amazing food even better company with Nick at the bar!! Never ever disappoints!! I went there for my birthday lunch and probably had the best roll I've ever had. Can't remember exactly the name I think it was the D & T roll. Massive and worth every penny!!! read more

This little gem has deliciously fresh fish, creative rolls, and friendly faces. I look forward to sitting at the sushi bar and trying the chef's recommendations, soon. read more

Ordered from here in mid/late December and they got our entire $40 lunch order wrong. Called them right away and the young man said the owner would be in later and would call and refund it...we had to call back the next day. They said they would refund the charge etc and were apologetic which I was please about, BUT we got our quarterly statement and they never even refunded it. I don't have time to check my account every single day and trusted they'd do what they said and when I saw the charge and no refund I was VERY UNHAPPY. Saddened they handled it this way...it's truly unfortunate as we've been long time customers. read more

Great sushi! Thick cuts of fish, quick service and excellent staff. Happy hour for food and drinks, can't beat that! I will not try another sushi restaurant, this is it! read more

Love this place. They always consistent. I can always count on my order being the same every time. It's really awesome when I eat here almost every weekend. Sushi is really fresh. I love their poke salads! So delicious!! read more

My family has been dining at Sushiya for over 15 years. Why? Because they have the absolute best Sake Sashimi I have found in AZ and, dare I say, California. I kid you not!! Huge, creamy, tender, fresh large pieces. Absolutely THE BEST! The owners are very kind people. The head sushi chef has been with them for years which speaks volumes about how they treat their staff. Check them out. You won't be disappointed. read more

My family has been going here for years, it's a treat for everyone. They have good happy hour prices and hours. The service is great and the sushi chefs are pleasant to talk to. When we sit at the bar we get great roll suggestions from the chefs and if it's not busy they give us new rolls they're experimenting with to try. The quality of the sushi never disappoints no matter which chef is making your food. The owners and their daughter always check on you and are quick to make sure you are ok and if everything is going well. Everyone is very nice and there are plenty of regulars there that we recognize when we go. I have recommended this place to my friends and now they won't go anywhere else for sushi! read more

Great sushi. Service needs a little work. Overall an enjoyable experience and good value. Tried this place because of the Yelp reviews and we were not disappointed! Upon arrival the hostess server greeted us quickly and seated us. Oddly enough, with the number of people who helped us it was hard to tell who was our dedicated server. The drink refills came quickly enough, however small details were neglected (had to ask for wasabi, extra napkins weren't brought). The server wasn't particularly personable by it's okay, the sushi more than made up for it! We had the Calamari, Tootsy Roll, Arizona Roll, Popcorn Shrimp Roll, and Jalapeño Roll. The rolls were fantastic but the Calamari left something to be desired. Stick to the sushi and you'll love this place! read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE AND MEDIOCRE FOOD. We waited 10 minutes at our table before the server even took our order. Then, we waited an additional 45 minutes for our food, at which point we had to ask 3 times on the status of our order. The server had clearly forgotten to put in the other half of our order, but refused to admit to it. Instead of listening to us when we told her to just cancel our order, they proceeded to put the food on our table and charge us! We could not get out of that place faster ... Don't waste your time here. read more

We are sushi lovers. And we are definitely not fans of the sushi place. Doesn't seem like they put any heart into their food it just seems likeThe same thing is you would get anywhere. If that is what you're looking for in this place will be fine. But we always like to find unique places that serve unique food that parties in your mouth. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! My husband and I go here almost once a week. I love getting the Phoenix roll or the popcorn shrimp roll. They have good deals during happy hour. They even have a reverse happy hour. If your looking for good food is recommend this place. read more

Being from Seattle I am pretty picky about sushi. The rolls were good, nothing super exciting. But as weird as it may sound they do have a really good chicken teriyaki (which I have struggled finding since moving to Arizona). However this review is based on the sushi and service experience. Little expensive for what it is... read more

Super delicious and fresh and I ordered through Uber eats the hot was hot, the cold was cold and so worth the money I will definitely go back or order again! Thank you for being on point well done read more

Great little hole-in-the-wall sushi joint. Place was packed on a Friday night...always a good sign. I loved the menu. It had full color pictures and descriptions of each sushi roll. Very helpful. Ordered about 5 rolls, but the Arizona Roll (california roll deep fried with spicy crab and tuna on top) was my favorite. Salmon Lover (salmon and avocado) was also very good. We got the mushroom balls as an appetizer and they were delicious. Basically a fried mushroom with some spicy sauce on top, what could possibly be better? Rolls took an unusually long time to come out. Maybe because they were busy? Other than that, everything was great! read more

This is a review for a year ago. Horrible experience and needed to make sure I change my review. Watered down soy sauce? Enough said. This little Japanese restaurant has only one bad thing...and that is their slow service (hence, minus 1 star). Other than that, the food is delish and the price isn't too bad either. PS. They always have coupons available online so that's really nice! ;) read more

Came in town for work and craving for some sushi. Found Sushiya Sushi on yelp. Went during a week night and it wasn't crowded. The waitress seated me immediately. Ordered a hot tea and some sushi. The food came out quickly. The fish was fresh and descent size but it also had a lot of rice. That's not the issue. The main issue was the rice didn't have enough vinegar and was not sticky enough. So the combination of the fish and the rice was not that satisfying unfortunately. Overall, it's ok. Not excellent but not horrible either. read more

We decided to try this place since we live down the road. We are used to sushi on Maui, having lived there for 12 years, so we are pretty picky. The service was fast and friendly. LOVED the spicy garlic edamame. Now the sushi....eh. It was just ok. Price was high and not much taste. read more

Seriously best sushi intown!! I am obsessed with the double spicy roll with fresh jalapenos on top!! Always a great meal here!

This place was amazing! My boyfriend and I went on a late Sunday night and were the last ones there. We asked if it was okay to sit down at 8:30 (they closed at 9:30) and the staff was very welcoming and nice. We hurriedly placed our order for 3 rolls and some nigiri. The Jalapeno roll was their special that night so we ordered that and it was delicious! All of the sushi we had was really good and fresh. I order Unagi at every sushi restaurant I go to and theirs was by far the best I have ever had. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive and the sushi chef even asked how everything was. All in all everything was perfect. The sushi was fresh, prices were good and you can't beat that at a locally owned place. Unfortunately, I'm not in Gilbert too often, but when I am, I'll be sure to stop in. read more

Our car club usually dines here at least one Thursday every month. We love it! There is cooked food options for the younger kids, great sushi options for us older kids, and a pretty good happy hour menu. (I also love that they have vegan options for the two veggies in the group.) The service is kinda crappy, but we are a pretty laid back crowd. read more

This is my favorite sushi place! The owners treat you like family, rolls always fresh & amazing! And they have ALOT of spicy rolls which I covet! My go to place when I want amazing food & service! And the prices are reasonable! Love it! read more

My son and his family drove in from LA for the holidays and he and my GD wanted some sushi and Japanese food. The last time they were here in AZ we went to Taiko and they enjoyed that, and wanted to go there again. But like I said in my last review, Taiko has taken beef off their menu and now have no beef dishes at all. So I decided to give this place a try again, even after a crappy experience the last time I was here. We had to wait for a table, but it wasn't long. So I have no complaint about that. We ordered a whole assortment of appetizers/entrees/sushi/and misc items. All of our food came out in a nice steady stream without one thing being overly delayed. And, the food was all OK, with nothing really being outstanding. But I have two somewhat negative comments. The fish used for their sushi is not fresh fish, but flash frozen fish. I can tell you this for a fact, since I used to be a commercial deepsea fisherman and absolutely know the difference between fresh fish, no-so-fresh fish, and frozen fish. While the sushi was OK, it would have been a whole lot better if the fish was fresh. I also ordered the beef teriyaki and it was terrible! No taste. Over cooked and hard and dry. I complained about Taiko having taken beef off their menu, but this beef teriyaki we had last night should have been taken off the menu too. Frankly, it seemed liked they had an old piece of beef teriyaki on the grill, that had sat there for a while and dried out, but they dumped it on our plate and served it to us. So I guess the bottom line here is that I was not satisfied and will not be going back here again. read more

A nice and cozy restaurant that serves tasty sushi. Happy hour offered every day of the week. Pleasant staff although service a bit slow.

It was just ok. Not a place you go to for more traditional type of sushi. If you like rolls, this is your jam.

So far the food is good. As far as Jafar behind the counter I was apprehensive at first. It turns out he really knows what he is doing, from marinating flavors and using an ice smoker for smoked lobster and crab. I want to come back and try that and give a different review. Which means the makeral was decent, the octopus and roe were hefty portions and the not chewy. They also have the elusive asahi black. Best beer to have with sushi. My complaints are the edamame. If you like it melted then try it. However I like mine very raw or aldente. It was terrible although the taste of the garlic was still great. Lastly the bathroom was dusty. Dust that fake plant. read more

First time here after having driven by a million times! (Doh!) love the portion size, price, and Chef Jason did a great job and is super friendly. Will definitely be back again! Whoop!!! read more

This place was a little slow on service they forgot one of our order on the up side if you order sashimi it's a good portion.

Happy Hour ROCKS at this place!!! the staff is awesome, and the sushi is delish!!! read more

Sushiya Sushi - Salmon Sashimi and California Roll X 2 - Japanese Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Chicken Teriyaki for our 4 yr. old. He loved it. We had Las Vegas Roll, Rainbow Roll and a Tootsy Roll plus Miso Soup and Edamame. Salmon Nigiri and Green Tea...Sake Bomber. Full house, some had to wait in line....get in and get in early. Great Place. Great Food. Great Experience. read more

My wife and I have been looking for a good sushi restaurant. Sushiya ratings seemed OK but maybe a problem with service. We went for lunch and the service was good. My wife ordered Sashimi with a spicy tuna roll. I ordered the spicy tuna roll and spicy salmon roll. The Sashimi came to her as Nigiri, not Sashimi. She didn't want all that rice. The spicy tuna and salmon rolls were nothing but a California Roll with some spicy tuna and salmon slapped on the top. What we both noticed was the rice was not cooked all the way and was chewy. I doubt we would go back based on the chewy rice alone. The rolls were nothing special! read more
