1. Yuzu Omakase

Website: https://yuzu-omakase.com/

Address: 4727 East Bell Road, #59

Contact: (602) 291-5610

Hours: Tuesday-Sunday: 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM, 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Stepping into Yuzu Omakase immediately transports their guests away from the Arizona desert. You get a super authentic, 12- to 14-course chef-guided omakase tasting experience that brings the true flavors of Japan right to your table.

The head chef originally hails from Osaka, so the traditional techniques shine brightly in every single bite. We went here last month and were completely blown away by the heavy focus on fresh shellfish.

That said, eating here feels incredibly intimate because they only seat six people at the counter. Plus, you really have to plan ahead if you want to secure your omakase reservation, as space fills up fast.

I will definitely be returning in the future

This restaurant puts up a solid case for best sushi in Arizona. The $95 omakase is very reasonable for the quality and taste of the sushi. The chef was very knowledgably and kind, answered any questions I threw at him, he was also very funny. I will definitely be returning in the future.

Everything was absolutely delicious

Had the 10-piece omakase lunch. Everything was absolutely delicious. Each piece of fish was perfectly cut and very tender with excellent flavors. The rice was very well cooked and the overall experience was superb. Very happy to have this new sushi restaurant in my neighborhood.

2. UPPERCUT

Website: https://www.uppercutomakase.com/

Address: 455 NORTH 3RD STREET #190

Contact: (602) 675-3635

Hours: By Reservation only: Dinner Monday-Thursday, 6:30 PM-9:30 PM, Friday-Sunday, 5:00 PM-11:00 PM

UPPERCUT offers an incredible two-and-a-half-hour dining adventure that strictly focuses on premium beef and global flavors. You get to dive into a massive 14-course omakase menu that celebrates rare cuts and carefully aged meats.

Every bite packs a serious punch of flavor. It’s exciting to see every single course get prepped right in front of you at the chef’s counter, which adds so much fun to the night.

This spot is tucked away inside a reservation-only steakhouse, giving the entire evening a super exclusive feel.

However, since this omakase heavily favors beef, traditional sushi purists might really miss the fresh seafood.

Most amazing dining experience

We had the most amazing dining experience last evening! I’ve never been to a 17 course dinner before. The Chefs were awesome, the presentation was incredible, each course was unique and delicious. Very creative and original!!  Attentive service and wonderful ambiance.  They definitely created fun energy and an outstanding experience!!

This was an amazing, intimate dinning experience from beginning to end. The presentation, the food, the service was all beyond. Everything hand crafted in front of you. I paired the whiskey with my meal and was extremely happy I did. Everyone and everything was great.

Harumi Sushi & Sake balances amazing flavors with a reasonable bill. You’ll enjoy purely traditional Japanese dishes made with high-quality ingredients at a price that won’t break the bank.

They stick strictly to authentic cooking methods, ensuring your omakase feels genuine and completely unpretentious. Their menu beautifully mixes comfort food classics with a few fun global twists.

Most of their guests are satisfied with their polite staff, who’ll make you feel welcome the moment you arrive.

Just be aware that this specific omakase spot is located in a very high-traffic area, making parking pretty frustrating during peak hours.

Loved it very much

Took my husband for his birthday  and he was very pleased with the food and service (our first time here). He ordered the Omakase and loved it very much that he said he would order it again. He also order the seaweed salad and said it was the best seaweed he has had so far of all places he has gone. 💯% recommended and we will returned.

The real star was the omakase

First this place is super small and fills up quick for lunch and dinner. It doesn’t have the greatest ambiance either. However the food is very good! We ordered a few rolls (dynamite and OMG) which were both good but the real star was the Omakase, it’s a platter that the chef prepares and serves. It had a little bit of everything as far as sashimi and nigiri with their signature black rice.

Sometimes you just want incredible food without any extra flashy distractions, and that’s something you can find here at Sushi Nakano. They serve a classic, no-fuss dining experience that highlights some of the freshest fish you can find in Arizona.

The team promises a truly traditional approach to all their dishes, letting the quality of the seafood speak for itself.

My coworker raved about their recent omakase dinner here, specifically praising how buttery and rich the salmon tasted. You can even easily grab your favorite rolls to go by placing a quick order over the phone.

Just a heads up: getting a table for their omakase takes some planning since they’re closed two days a week.

They were amazing

This is one of the best Sushi in AZ! We ordered omakase a few times from Leo and had each time they were amazing. Their sushi rival San Francisco’s sushi. My friend thinks their sushi is better some of upscale sushi restaurants in New York! When I am in AZ, I either go to Leo’s or his father’s sushi. 🙂

Leo and the team are awesome!  We had the Omakase chef’s dinner was an experience… true sushi lovers will enjoy chef Leo’s pairing with sake and how he has orchestrated a meal that delights the palate.

Just keep in mind that this omakase requires a minimum of two diners and adds an automatic 20% service charge.

Recommended

This place is such a gem here in Chandler. I’ve been twice, and each time was absolutely incredible. The omakase style menu had minor changes each time I went, keeping it fun and exciting for me. The presentation is always top notch, and the description of the dish from the servers and bartenders really help engage you with the experience. Overall, I cannot recommend highly enough. It’s pricey, but well worth it.

Definitely go with the omakase

Went here for their Omakase (chefs choice) and it was incredible from start to finish. Our server was very attentive and did a great job describing all of the dishes. Also an amazing cocktail selection. If you’re looking for a fun experience definitely go with the Omakase. We had 8 different courses and they were all delicious. Highly recommend.
