Best Japanese Restaurants in Chandler

Grace provided incredible service and had a great spirit. My family and I did the tasting and it was amazing. Love this place

Amazing sushi and oysters! BEWARE the spicy edamame are extremely hot. We had to send them back (we are spicy lovers!). Steak was delicious but skip the Demi glaze, not very flavorful the steak tasted better without it.

Great food! Great service! Perfect place to usher in 2025!

★★★★★ Exceptional Date Night Experience My wife and I recently celebrated date night at Uchi in Scottsdale, and the experience was nothing short of perfection from start to finish. The moment you step into the restaurant, you're greeted by an atmosphere that masterfully balances modern sophistication with warm intimacy – exactly what you want for a special evening out. The culinary journey at Uchi is truly remarkable. Each dish that arrived at our table was a work of art, demonstrating the kitchen's commitment to both visual presentation and flavor complexity. The sushi here transcends the ordinary – the fish is impeccably fresh, perfectly seasoned and maintained at ideal body temperature, a detail that true sushi aficionados will appreciate. The service staff deserves special mention for their attentiveness and expertise. Our server displayed an impressive knowledge of the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations and explaining each dish with genuine enthusiasm. The pacing of our meal was expertly managed, allowing us to savor each course without feeling rushed or waiting too long between dishes. What truly sets Uchi apart is their attention to detail. From the carefully curated sake selection to the subtle ambient lighting that creates an intimate dining atmosphere, every element has been thoughtfully considered to enhance the overall experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply want to enjoy an extraordinary dining experience, Uchi Scottsdale delivers on all fronts. It's clear why this establishment has quickly become one of the Valley's premier dining destinations. While it's certainly an investment in your evening out, the exceptional quality of food, service, and atmosphere make it wholly worthwhile. Pro tip: Make reservations well in advance, especially for weekend dining. The popularity of this gem is well-deserved, and tables fill up quickly.

My daughter and I had a very enjoyable dining experience at the sushi bar Friday night. The seafood taste, variety and quality were all excellent, with a decent number of higher end choices available. Service was top notch both behind the counter and on the floor. Our Sushi Chef was friendly and helpful making our selections, and the waiter was attentive throughout our dinner. I would highly recommend giving this new location of Shimogamo a try! NOTE: As some reviewers have observed, we did find service to be somewhat hit-or-miss when they first opened this location, which was a letdown if you were accustomed to dining at the original location. They appear to be past that, as it was a full house on both the tables and Sushi bar when we dined and service was excellent throughout the evening.
