Best Japanese Restaurant
Exceptionally fresh, artfully presented sushi is on the menu at this warm and welcoming Chandler restaurant, where the food’s elegance is matched by its inviting atmosphere. The Big N’ Spicy Roll is terrific if you’re in a sushi mood and like a bit of heat. Each bite is topped with a dot of sriracha that fills out the center of the jalapeno slice on top. Inside, spicy salmon brings more fire to the party of cucumber and tataki sauce. And if you want more than just sushi, the kitchen menu has you covered, from a tender cod dish to grilled Wagyu beef. Sake cheesecake? Yes, please. Executive chef Daisuke Itagaki continues to use his years of experience to maintain the restaurant’s excellence and continuously up its game. The family-owned and -operated spot added a Gilbert location last year to give the Valley even more incredible food.
