12 Best Japanese Restaurants in Glendale

“This place is a must! The sushi we had was delicious and the presentation was stunning! All the rolls came out looking like a piece of artwork! The service was incredibly friendly and attentive. It was our first time here and they took tremendous care of us. We can't wait to go back! They had multiple air purifiers inside and every one of the staff was wearing a mask. Everything was stunningly clean and we felt very safe and comfortable. They are definitely doing all they can for their guests during Covid-19!“

“First time visiting Kawaii Sushi! Excellent food and service! Our kind of atmosphere. Clean and friendly. We’ll be back!“

“I've been eating here for years now. Great food for a good price as well as potion size. If you're on the fence about going and trying it out, just go. everything here is 🔥🔥 recommendations: Island fried rice, Maui bowl, egg rolls“

“Great tasting fresh food. Friendly staff. I accidently went through the Point Of Service screen too fast and didn't catch the tip screen. The server didn't even flinch. She was focused on providing excellent service with a smile. I of course took care of the tip with another transaction. Great place to stop on my way home when visiting the Valley. Every time we are in the area, we stop.“

“Some of the best sushi I’ve had in a long time if not the best ever. Great ramen also. Great atmosphere and dining definitely would go back.“

“Love this place! Plenty of seating. This spot always has a line, but it moves quickly. I love to get their number 1, chicken over noodles with veggies and i like to add a chicken egg roll. Ask for extra sauce on your meal! The food is affordable!!! Check them out.“

“Wonderful foods.. Great service !“

“Visited today for the first time.
The place is nice and cozy, very clean.
Was greeted kindly & helped with menu options.
I tried the Platin sushi, which is fried, honestly it was very different than any other mexican sushi places I been to. The sushi instead of having rice it was wrapped in plantain. All the sushis we tired today were very tasty. Can't wait to visit again!“

“I usually get the same thing every single time. I've had it about 10 times and its never failed. Fair prices and good quality!
The chairs aren't big people friendly but the booths are.
The workers aren't too friendly either but I don't really care, I get my order to go!“

“Great neighborhood restaurant. Amazing food, portions are more than enough and friendly and very helpful staff. Will be back.“

“I absolutely love this place, this location in particular. I used to 'dine in' quite a bit, always a wonderful experience, and a near perfect meal. Unfortunately for the past few years I've primarily been ordering my meals to take home and I'm consistently disappointed. Apparently when you phone in an order to take home, the chefs are seemingly 'phoning it in' themselves.
My favorite menu item is the filet and shrimp teppanyaki, file cooked rare. When dining in the restaurant it's cooked to perfection. Take out? I'm lucky if it's somewhere between medium rare and medium well, frequently it's not even pink at all and rare should be red. Even the shrimp is typically overcooked. Tonight the shrimp was actually burnt. It was seriously hard and rubbery.
This particular location is easily 1 of my top 5 favorite restaurants in the Phoenix area- when I'm eating at one of those cooking tables, but it's quickly becoming my least favorite restaurant for pick up and take home. A slight difference in food quality is expected and understandable with 'to go' orders. That is not what's happening here though. This appears to be a blatant disregard for customers who aren't in the restaurant while eating their meals and theoretically won't complain when they are served something less than what was expected.
I honestly hope they see this review and make some much needed adjustments with regards to the care they choose to place in preparing food for faithful patrons ordering take home meals.“

“The honey shrimp was delicious.“
