Asian Café Express				1 User Reviews
1911 W. Main St. Suite 3	Asian, Chinese	$, $$	Mesa
Despite the name, this is no generic pan-Asian fast food joint. Not even close. It’s exceptionally tasty, unbelievably cheap, authentic Hong Kong-style cuisine. Behind it all is chef Michael Leung, former owner of central Phoenix’s Gourmet House of Hong Kong. Be prepared to spend some... More >>

Cork				3 User Reviews
4991 S. Alma School Rd., Ste. 101	Contemporary, Eclectic, New American	$$$, $$$$	Chandler
At its heart, Cork is a neighborhood wine bar that just happens to serve inventive, beautifully presented food. Owned by three alumni of Lon’s at the Hermosa – sommelier Robert Morris, his wife Danielle (who’s the pastry chef), and executive chef Brian Peterson – the... More >>

C-Fu Gourmet				3 User Reviews
2051 W. Warner Rd.	Chinese, Seafood	$$	Chandler
One of the few Valley Chinese restaurants that could hold its own in New York's or San Francisco's Chinatown. C-Fu specializes in seafood so fresh, most of it is still swimming when you order it. Don't miss the chrysanthemum-steamed fish, Marco Polo lobster or Dungeness crab. Non-seafood dishes... More >>

China King				2 User Reviews
1050 W. Ray Rd.	Chinese	$	Chandler
This food is Chinatown-good. Or better, since China King’s no grungy hole-in-the-wall, but a sunny, clean, spacious restaurant that stands separate from its strip mall neighbors. There’s a traditional menu, but we go for the dim sum, available daily. The place is a madhouse on weekends... More >>

Cyclo Vietnamese Cuisine Restaurant				1 User Reviews
1919 W. Chandler Blvd.	Vietnamese	$	Chandler
The perfect combination: authentic, brilliantly flavored Vietnamese food in a clean, contemporary setting. Prices are the same as typical holes-in-the-wall (huge portions for $6 to $9), but ingredients are always top-notch, and it's pretty enough to take the most timid first-time Asian diner.... More >>

Dragonfly Vietnamese Kitchen				3 User Reviews
1116 S. Dobson Rd.	Vietnamese	$, $$	Mesa
Dragonfly Vietnamese Kitchen is worth seeking out. You’ll find authentic ethnic cuisine and a surprisingly pleasant café-style atmosphere, plus a lengthy menu of traditional specialties that are as delicious and beautifully presented as they are wallet-friendly. With nothing over... More >>

Hodori				1 User Reviews
1116 S. Dobson Rd.	Korean	$$	Mesa
Clean, spacious, and minimalistic, Hodori occupies a spot on one of the East Valley’s busiest corners for Asian food. (Among other neighbors, there’s a Vietnamese café and a Korean market in the same strip mall.) There’s none of the cook-it-yourself Korean barbecue that... More >>

Joe's Farm Grill				Write a Review
3000 E. Ray Rd.	American, Barbecue, Breakfast	$$	Gilbert
It’s quite a hike to this retro-futuristic burger stand in east Gilbert, but there’s nothing like it in the Valley. The building is a converted farm home, where owner Joe Johnston grew up, and it’s situated in a new master-planned community called Agritopia, where a 12-acre urban... More >>

Joe's Real BBQ				2 User Reviews
301 N. Gilbert Rd.	American, Barbecue, Dessert	$$	Gilbert
Ribs: Think of them as meat lollipops thick with tangy barbecue sauce, tender from being lovingly slow-smoked over pecan logs, and served up with mac 'n' cheese, sweet corn, coleslaw, and/or any of a number of other sides. At least, that’s how you’ll be chowin’ down on Porky Pig... More >>

Kai				1 User Reviews
5594 West Wild Horse Pass Blvd.	American, Eclectic, Fusion, Southwestern	$$$$	Chandler
Kai’s consulting chef Janos Wilder (a James Beard Award-winner) and executive chef Michael O’Dowd deserve to bask in the attention that comes with being Arizona’s newest AAA Five Diamond Award-winner. The cuisine celebrates indigenous cultures and crops in the most sophisticated... More >>

Latitude Eight Thai Grill				3 User Reviews
11 W. Boston Street, Suite #5	Thai	$$$	Chandler
Mother-son team Nicha Jithchamnonk and David Fliger serve classic Thai cooking in this stylish spot in historic downtown Chandler. The menu is a well-edited list of greatest hits with an upscale twist and a lovely presentation, from scrumptious seared Thai beef salad to luscious tom kha soup.... More >>

Liberty Market				1 User Reviews
230 N. Gilbert Rd.	American	$$	Gilbert
The brainchild of restaurateur Joe Johnston, Liberty Market is the East Valley’s answer to La Grande Orange in Phoenix. Like his other eateries, Joe’s Real BBQ and Joe’s Farm Grill, the vibe here mixes wholesome vintage Americana with a hip, modern sensibility. Open all... More >>

Rancho de Tia Rosa				2 User Reviews
3129 E. McKellips Rd.	California, Mexican	$$, $$$	Mesa
Attractive, 8,000-square-foot hacienda-style eatery devoted to a more healthful take on Mexican grub, mixing in elements of Baja style and California cuisines. The bright, airy interior includes a fantasia of Mexican tile, artwork and furniture. Menu faves include the rich, flavorful chicken... More >>

SanTan Brewing Company				1 User Reviews
8 South San Marcos Pl.	American, Brewery	$$	Chandler
Sometimes it feels as if Scottsdale has a monopoly on dining hotspots, but SanTan Brewing Company, part of Chandler’s San Marcos Plaza, proves there’s other life in the East Valley. The vibe here is distinctive -- its Gen X and Y mix is more grown up than Tempe’s ... More >>

Shimogamo				3 User Reviews
2051 W. Warner Rd., Ste. 14	Japanese, Sushi	$$$	Chandler
Sleek, sophisticated Japanese restaurant with many items unique to Japanese restaurants in Phoenix, though not to Japanese restaurants in Japan or larger American cities. The place was designed by its owner, himself a fussy Japanese eater, so you know it’s good. And even if you can’t... More >>

Sushi Ken				3 User Reviews
4206 E. Chandler Blvd.	Japanese, Sushi	$, $$	Ahwatukee
The former proprietors of Tucson’s Sushi Ten have opened a new eatery in Ahwatukee, and fans of authentic Japanese cuisine have been quick to pick up on it. The spare dining room’s bright and open, with plenty of seating at the sushi bar and tables scattered throughout the room. As for... More >>

Zur Kate				3 User Reviews
4815 E. Main St.	German	$, $$	Mesa
Everything in Zur Kate has a German flair, not just the authentic cuisine. The walls are covered with paintings, flags, and other memorabilia from the Old Country, and there’s always German music, whether on the stereo or from a live band. Expect a selection of imported German beer on tap... More >>
