Came here last night with the boyfriend again and I will never not enjoy the visit. Great place to stop for some Japanese bites, food is delivered on a little conveyer belt and you just grab what plate you want. Plates are colored and listed in price. Very good place and food for the price. read more

Teharu Sushi - Hot and Sweet Salmon! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

My daughters found this place online so we decided to stop. The concept is really cool and quick. They thought it was the greatest thing ever. They ate until they were full and it was pretty reasonable. I left hungry because I felt like it was really fishy and the Servsafe part of my brain wasn't loving food sitting at room temp that long, especially fish. I also wish there was a description somewhere because it was a guessing game. The edemame is delicious though. read more

I've been coming to this restaurant off and on for a while, and although service has always been mediocre at best, I didn't care. It was part of the unspoken agreement: you sell me decent salmon nigiri for $1.50 a plate, and I overlook the fact that the male servers always make me feel like I'm inconveniencing them by trying to eat here and that half the things I order never actually make it to my table. But it turns out there is a limit to what I'll endure for cheap and fast sushi after all. I arrived at 8:30 on a Saturday night and was largely ignored, which was pretty much par for the course. What irritated me this time in particular was that about 15 minutes in, I finally had to get up and get an order sheet for myself because the servers were painstakingly avoiding eye contact with the customers at all costs. To add insult to injury, they started clearing tables. I had to I guess we looked like we weren't going to use any? I assumed they were about to close, but then discovered that they were in fact open until 10:30. Long story short, if you really like California rolls and don't mind being treated like crap, this is probably an excellent restaurant for a casual dinner with people you don't mind sitting around, not eating with. read more

First thing, if you want to celebrate something here with your friends or relatives, makes sure to call for reservation... the place is not that big, and during Weekend, this place it's just packed. Service is fast, there's not that much variety but some worth mentioned: "Squid Salad" and "Shrimp Tempura Roll".... yummy... make sure to drink with a Sapporo... then it's a complete package. The nice thing about eating there is that, at the end, they will stack up your sushi plates... Alllll.... the way up there... it's fun and make the occasion memorable. With not many options in this area, I'd say Teharu is the best in the valley ;o) read more

Teharu Sushi - Stack 'em up ;o) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Great variety for a great price. If you're looking for anywhere to go on a cool dinner date all under $25! This is the place to go! The sushi is really good and they have all kinds! If the sushi you desire isn't on the revolving bar you can always order it but I love the revolving bar as it makes you try out new types that I always end up getting twice. read more

Teharu Sushi - Revolving sushi bar - Sushi Bars Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I haven't been here in a while since they received a D rating. Ordering the food over the phone was fine as always. The staff can not multi task. You'll be waiting there for a while until they finish a task and then they move on. Now to the food. I usually get specific rolls because my spouse is highly allergic to shrimp. He comes rushing in my room asking me if the Crunch roll has shrimp. Their menu says avocado. But there was shrimp in the avocados place. Luckily he didn't swallow it so it was minor itching. Because of that huge mistake I will no longer be going to this location. It has proven that they are going down hill and just don't care about anything anyone. read more

I rarely leave reviews, but when I'm treated as poorly as I was tonight, I feel my experience should be shared. My family came in tonight and asked for a table for 8. We were led to a table made for 6 and watched as an employee moved two chairs to the end of the table (the other end of the table was against the sushi conveyer belt). These two chairs were literally touching the chairs at the end of the long sides of the table, leaving absolutely no place to put your legs. So I said to the employee, "Um, if you set up the chairs like this, where should we put our legs? Is there a better solution for a table of 8?" He asked me to hold on and went to speak to someone else. Moments later, an older woman came over to us with a very aggressive attitude and said, "Ma'am, if you don't like our service, you don't have to eat here,". I was completely taken aback by her approach and tried to explain that I was only asking if there was a better set-up for our party. She continued to berate me, making fun of my facial expression and telling me that this set-up was the only way to seat 8. I told her I didn't have any issue with the set-up if it was the best they could do...I was honestly just asking. She walked away and we sat down. Then the woman approached our table *again* and told us that we didn't need to stay if we didn't like their service. A restaurant telling me twice that they don't need my patronage is enough for them to lose my business forever, so we left. I will never - EVER - set foot in that restaurant again. read more

My daughters and I come here often. Usually pretty busy but got a seat right away. They hired some new staff and our waiter was great! Food was fresh and amazing! read more

Teharu Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

The food is really good but the service ruins the experience. The older Hispanic lady who was serving us apparently had an attitude. As she was walking away we asked for straws for our drinks and she rolled her eyes, turned around, and handed us our straws. As we continued to eat we needed another napkins. Again, we asked for napkins and she rolled her eyes again. I understand if you're having a bad day but don't don't it out on the customers. The restaurant had just opened 10 minutes before we got in. Her service was so bad we ended up just paying for our food and leaving. Didn't even get to enjoy a full meal. read more

Used to love this place, but they care more about the take out orders than the actual ppl trying to eat dine in. Literally the last three visits I've seen customers pay and leave and the open spots don't get prepared until 15 mins later, and I see them packaging and tending to the online orders. Ate here one last time cause I love it, but never coming back here again, unless it's take out. read more

This is my fourth time here over the last couple of years. This place fits into the category of "You get what you pay for." Cheap bulk sushi but at bottom prices. It is good for times you are looking for a bulk fill up or if you're not going to mind elementary sushi. (The cucumbers are absent in their rolls-even in their California rolls-which cukes are a main component!) read more

Obviously not going to be the best sushi ever but it is usually decent for the price. Be warned tho - Do not go any time near closing. Nothing is fresh gave me and my friends food poisoning read more

Not the greatest but it's very cheap.. if ur looking for a quick fix of sushi and cheap this is the place to come

It's been several years so I feel the need to update my review. This is a restaurant that you come to solely for the cheap prices and the ok food. You do not walk in expecting good service or management so when you do get it, you are pleasantly surprised. The servers here have more bad days than good days and it's usually reflected in their service and attitude. I think they work long hours and they probably don't get the best tips so their morale is probably kind of low. But they try, I could see them trying at today's visit for the most part. Some ways to get around this problem is to ask for everything you want the second you are seated, if you are a single Diner ask for two waters instead of just one since refills will be slow to come by usually. Ask for more napkins and wasabi Etc. Getting all these things in the beginning will lower your annoyances later. The food: You are getting better than supermarket sushi but lower than a regular style sushi restaurant. If you don't want to wait for the conveyor belt, order straight from the chef. I was there for at least 30 minutes and did not see one tiger roll which was a shame because I'm pregnant and most of things that were served had raw fish in them.( I'm not generally a pregnancy food follower but I know enough to not go Raw here. I'll gladly eat the shit out of some Sashimi @ Kabuki though) anyways I could have ordered it from the chef but I really just didn't care too so that's on me. Some things are just ridiculous like how they don't have enough bowls of ginger per seating, so expect you ask your neighbor for some of theirs. All in all: This is a convenient fast food sushi joint that can be enjoyable if you just overlook its quirks- they haven't changed in the years that they have been around -they are not going to change how they run things now. All you can do is change your expectations and just be glad there aren't any roaches running around anymore. read more

I have been here several times since my last review, and while I still like the concept and the food, the service has gone downhill. The plusses include a drop in prices, meaning that you can definitely have your fill of sushi (a variety in fact) for under $10. Each plate is now between $1 - $2, with most plates falling in around $1.50 (red, green, and white). The last two dinners I've had here were by myself and also with a friend. The total before tip was around $6.50 and $15, respectively. If what you want is not on the conveyor belt, you can still order from a sushi list for the same price. Definitely try the Amaebi (sweet shrimp) where they take two prawns and chop them in half. The bottom half is eaten raw and the top half with the head is deep fried in batter. Yum! The soft-shell crab roll can be anywhere between good and awesome depending on which sushi chef puts it together. One day when we ordered this, the presentation was great (legs dangling out of one slice like spiders) and big, another day the rolls were small as if just another mini shrimp tempura roll (and no legs! the best part! ugh!). Unfortunately, because of the drop in prices (and probably also due to this crappy economy) weekday lunch hours are SLAMMED. The last time I was here for lunch, there were only 2 waitresses attending to the whole restaurant. In the 50 minutes we were there, it took about 10 minutes to receive our waters and wasabi after sitting down and 30 minutes to pay for our food after eating. Nevermind that my water wasn't refilled at all. I will still come here to eat because of the value and because it's actually decent sushi. However, having lunch here now is definitely out of the question unless I take a lunch around 2-3pm...or have some killer time to burn. read more

Teharu Sushi - Amaebi (Sweet Shrimp) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

FYI I will delete this review but the owners should know. After my friend and I finished our meal a cockroach began walking across the conveyor belt and up the side of the fresh fish case. And your men's bathroom is filthy. Take some pride in your business and clean things up. read more

Waited for an hour just to be seated. Waited 15 minutes for the waitress to come back with our drinks. From then on the wait staff actively avoided interacting with us and it was nearly impossible to order anything off the menu or even get a drink refill. Food was decent and cheap though. read more

!!!!!BEWARE!!!!! My friend and I BOTH got terrible terrible food poisoning from here. The last 3 days we've both been in debilitating pain. Do NOT ever eat here. read more

Yeah yeah--you could go here if you want. V unique. V edible. Pick any sushi you want as it mopes along a conveyor belt. You know I t's good when there are never Asian people eating here. Or making the food. Just serving you. Water. But yeah, like, Asian inspired flavors. Green horseradish at every table. An atmosphere. I go here every other week. Stack them plates yo. read more

I like that this place is down here cos the drive up to Scottsdale is a bit of a bear but having said that, the sushi moves slowly here and they don't refresh the nigiri too frequently. I'm sure I could ask the itamae for whatever I want but even still it's rolls, rolls, rolls and not that much nigiri to eat. Anyway, was here the other day and it was like $11 for six plates. So that's not too bad. It wasn't amazing. But kaitenzushi is the McDonalds of sushi, does one complain about Mac and Dons? Some do. Some do. read more

Do not waste your time! We are big fans of the Teharu location in East Mesa but the Tempe location is terrible. We sat at a table on the opposite side from the bar. Apparently there are two separate conveyor belts because while the bar had fresh food our side had literally nothing. We were forced to order everything and wait which is not why you go to revolving sushi. Then, when my Philly Roll came out from the kitchen I noticed it was missing avocado. I asked the waiter why there was no avocado and he said that his manager had told the chefs to stop using avocado in any rolls because avocados are expensive!!! What?!? Worst dining experience in a long time. read more

This was my first experience with a conveyor-belt type sushi place. The selection was impressive, although I went back on another occasion and it was the exact same. Service was pretty awful despite the fact that the restaurant was pretty slow (both times). The waiter stood behind us chatting for 20 minutes after we finished eating at the bar before I finally waved him over for the check. Never got a refill on my water, and when I asked about drinks I was offered soda but realized later they had the Sapporo I was after. The water was good though... filtered and all that. My main complaint is that everything is tepid. Warm gyoza and fried foods are cold and soggy, and "fresh" seafood is disturbingly warm. read more

Wasn't too impressed with this location. Had to order rolls instead of getting them off the carousel because they don't have all the rolls revolving. There was a huge line and they wouldn't open the other part of the carousel because they didn't have enough staff. Sushi was cut in too big of pieces, and the crab roll tasted off. Our male server was wonderful, and made sure our drinks stayed full. I don't think we'll return to this location, but the one in Mesa is so good. read more

Teharu is a great place to go if you want some inexpensive sushi. It is conveyer belt style with lots of options to choose from. That being said, there are some guidelines that I recommend following to ensure you get fresh sushi. #1-anything fried, which should be hot, you should definitely order fresh... unless you actually see them put a new line of plates out on the conveyer belt. You can do this by asking one of the waiters/waitresses, or the cooks behind the counter. #2- don't grab the last of anything. To me, that means it has gone around a few too many times. Again, if you saw them put it out, the rule doesn't apply. #3- go during a busy time of day. Yes, you'll probably have to wait a little bit for a seat. But the sushi is being turned over faster. #4- there's a secret menu! I recommend the volcano roll. Careful though, it comes out hot! No, this is not my FAVORITE sushi place out there, because the quality isn't the highest. But when I want to get my sushi fix on a dime, this is the place I go. read more

The sushi was fair but when finished we had to wait approximately 30 minutes to pay. When we asked the waitress she informed us that we were not in her area and there were plenty of people before us. They refused to accept payment until it was our turn. One hour later we were finally able to pay - terrible service. read more

It was busy when we got there so we expected a wait. we put our name on the list for party of 5. Two tables left and just needed to be cleaned. 15 minutes later several people left the bar area. they cleaned the bar area opening up about 7 seats. the hostess called 3 different groups of 2 that came in well after our party. We asked why they didn't seat us and they said they would seat us next. they cleaned 1 of the 2 tables and then seated a party of 4 that came in 30 minutes after us! At this point I was over it. my husband asked again and they said sorry and gave us the other table. The food was OK for conveyor belt sushi (yen sushi in Scottsdale is much better). We were almost finished eating by the time the drinks came and the chicken teriyaki and baked muscles took so long we had to get them to go. We will not eat here again. read more

Came to the spot and they closed 35 mins early. They don't close till 10pm and they decided to lock their doors early, and not even acknowledge us at the door. read more

Its a revolving sushi bar, level set your expectations. And for a revolving sushi bar, this place is great! It is hit or miss on the variety though. Sometimes its full of the same few items, others its a mix and something new every time you look up. read more

My review is based solely on my Door Dash deliveries since I've never been to the restaurant. We get sooo much sushi for under $30 and it's always prepared beautifully, packaged and delivered in one piece! I love this place and will continue to order! read more

Cool idea, and cheap prices. Service is really terrible. There are a couple ladies who don't speak except to tell you how much you owe. The sushi chefs in the middle of the room don't look happy to be there. They ask you to wait to be seated but will leave you waiting for a long time when it's not even busy. They just literally don't notice you walk in. We've had to just seat ourselves after a few minutes of just standing around being stared at. The food is not really fresh. There are only a handful of dishes worth eating and the cheesecake is pretty good to. All the fried dishes are cold and the salads are sad and wilted. I don't like that they hover over you to count your plates and organize the dirty dishes while you just sit there and awkwardly wait. But I guess what's the only way to do it. If you want cheap sushi, and no interaction with the staff, come here. read more

My wife and I love Teharu's. It is a revolving sushi bar with booths and a bar for seating. It is across the parking lot a bit on the north east corner of Priest and Ray. It's usually pretty busy, but you'll get seated fast enough. People are in and out quickly. The staff is kind but not intrusive. The sushi isn't gourmet, but it's good for the very low price. You can fill yourself up for less than 10 dollars. If you can, sit towards the right side of the restaurant, as you enter. You'll want to be towards the bar as the items there are freshest. The left side under the TV gets last choice of the items. If you get seated there - no sweat - just flag a waiter and order something direct from the kitchen no extra charge (these direct orders are the best anyway). Recommend the Haru Poper, if you're OK with the spice. The Vegas rolls are good too (especially when fresh). Great quick and inexpensive sushi bar. Mostly for the price I give it 4 stars. read more

Terrible service, food was nothing special. I recommend Sakura much better sushi and all you can eat.

Affordable, simple sushi. You can put in an order for your favorite dishes. I like that they give you 6 or so pieces of a roll at usually $2 per plate, some are $3 like the gyoza. The staff is friendly don't wait on you much, you may have to wave them down. But very recommended. read more

The worst service I have ever received. We were sat down and had to ask for a menu. She only brought over water for my boyfriend. Had to wait 10 minutes just to order a bee r and a water and she huffed at me when I ordered it like it was inconvenient for her. She brought me my beer and had to ask for water again which I received after we were done eating. We left very annoyed with how terrible the service was. On top of it the rolls stuck to together so much that they would rip and you were stuck with a plate full of broken sushi. read more

Bad service, bad food, bad fish. They put too much rice on sushi and their fish is not fresh. It tastes old and nasty. We will never come back again. It's gross. read more

Came to this place by a fluke. Was gonna go to the spot next door, but they were closed for the Super Bowl, so sushi it is. Service was ok, but I didn't appreciate ice water being spilled all over my 7 month old son. Also, the little plates of sushi have lids on em. I understand you need the colored plates to figure out what to charge, but do we need the lids cluttering up the table? We don't need a bunch of trash all over the table. Take this away! Sushi quality was fine. Not the best, not the worst. The price is very reasonable for the quality, so I was happy with that. Also, though it was weekend lunch time, and there were some customers, it was fairly quiet which was great. Overall, if you're looking for a quick sushi fix for a reasonable price, this is a decent choice. read more

Great food for a great price but the service is HORRIBLE. Your drinks are always empty, no one comes to check on you, and you have to flag people down for your check. read more

Love their sushi! Come here all the time. I highly recommend the teharu sushi and the jalapeño poppers!

This place was fire! I've always wanted to go to a conveyor belt sushi joint and I've never been near one until today! Man, it was one heck of an experience! I would give you a list of everything I tried but that would be nearly impossible since I tried nearly 10 different rolls. I had lunch with three of my band mates and we ate till we were stuffed and if you believe this it was less than $13 a piece, tip included! If we were from here we would be here everyday! Come check this place out, I promise you won't be disappointed! read more
