10 Excellent Sushi Restaurants in the Phoenix Area

"Despite debuting during the pandemic, this Latin-Japanese sushi restaurant is a favorite for casual dinner or a night out. Embracing its location in the Warehouse District, the interior features all the design elements common to industrial spaces (soaring ceilings, exposed brick, and cement floors), providing a perfect, simple backdrop to the colorful bites coming out of the kitchen, like tuna poke spooned into a tiny cone bedazzled with black and white sesame seeds; perfectly cooked and seasoned rice; and twists on papas fritas. Happy hour, which runs Tuesday through Saturday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., is the real treat, with half off the entire menu ." - Steven Totten, Stephanie Carter
