Best Japanese Restaurants in South Mountain

Mel was our server and he was fabulous! Very engaged, friendly, and made sure our table was well taken care of. The food was VERY good, prepared well, and the ambiance was perfect! This will be a must stop when we’re back in Phoenix!

Fantastic dinner tonight with friends. We sat on the back patio and had it all to ourselves. The service was excellent as she was attentive and friendly but gave us our space. The food was great, don’t skip out on the any of the yellowtail dishes, either the essence of yellowtail roll or the yellowtail crudo. The bluefin cuts are also delicious. Will absolutely be back.

Outstanding dining experience. Food was amazing! Ambiance was excellent and servers were very helpful with selecting menu items.

Handedly the best sushi I have ever had! The staff are all incredibly knowledgeable as they present you with the finest and most flavorful sushi, I have ever enjoyed. A touch louder than I would have preferred, but hey, it's Old Town.

We really enjoyed our visit last Sunday. My daughter and I enjoyed the brunch options: I had the salmon Benedict and my daughter had the French toast. We also ordered the ube matcha and regular matcha—both delicious!! The place was fairly busy but not noisy. Our server was very helpful and friendly. Five stars all around!
