Kodo Sushi Sake

We've been coming here for quite a while especially since they have delicious food with easy and convenient parking, lots of seating, servers and sushi chefs! Kodo has great quality! They were crazy crazy crazy busy tonight for some reason. Maybe they were a little short handed but there seemed to be plenty of people craving sushi tonight!Once we got seated we waited a bit then were able to order drinks then another wait til we could order food. It was obvious they weren't expecting so many people to come in tonight. Some people got a little impatient but once the waitlist was cleared things calmed down a bit.As always, everything was freshly made and delicious. We got chicken karaage wings, edamame, unagi nigiri, salmon nigiri, beef roll, rainbow roll and mirage roll plus a Sapporo and an Asahi beer. Our orders came out fast and they checked on us regularly.They have pretty decor and outside seating for nicer weather. Everyone seemed quite happy with their orders and all of the staff were busy! They thanked us as we left (as they always do).It's so nice to have a reasonably priced dine in sushi restaurant in the neighborhood! Please pay them a visit and support this locally owned family style restaurant for a good meal!P.s. Even if they're busy and there's a wait, please support all of the small locally owned restaurants like Kodo. They are doing their best to serve us all!

One of the best sushi experiences I've had here in Arizona! The staff are friendly and attentive - one of the most efficient serving experiences we've witnessed, the food came out fast, and everything we ate was delicious! We were quite impressed with the spicy garlic edamame and the agedashi tofu - they seem to include an untraditional sauce on the agedashi tofu, possibly a korean yangnyeom sauce? Whatever it is, it was so good! I thoroughly enjoyed the variety of interesting rolls they offered - was not expecting the OMG roll to come with a show but this was our favorite. I also did not know the sushi was made with purple/black rice I think it was a great touch.I would definitely come back!

Has been our go to for sushi in Chandler for several years. Ahi Tower is my fav. Sometimes we share as an app and sometimes I order as my meal.Wish they would bring back the black rice though.

I was craving some sushi and decided to stop in for a quick lunch. I ordered the sashimi lunch box which was delicious. I asked the waiter if I can substitute the tuna for toro. It was a $4 charge but well worth it. The sashimi was fresh and so was the nigiri.I also tried the seared toro and salmon nigiri that was on the house from the chef! Thanks chef, it was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back to order more of the seared nigiri.

Today was my first time here. I was skeptical due to recent reviews... Everything was just fine, nothing special. I wasn't impressed by the sushi menu. I was hoping for a couple more options. The rolls tasted fine, but not super fresh or good quality. However, they were very beautifully plated. Tempura basket wasn't very good. The batter was thicker than I prefer. Spicy garlic edamame was fine. The service was fine. I'm not sure if this was a one time issue due to air conditioning issues or what but today the restaurant was too hot inside. They had fans going but overall it was pretty uncomfortable. Regardless of the restaurants temperature, nothing that we exp here today would have me eager to come back.

This was a very solid sushi place. I came here with a relatively big group around 10 to 12 and they were very accommodating and the service was very good as well. Overall it seemed like we all enjoyed the food and it was good for the price. There was also a big selection of of dishes to choose from so that was also nice. Overall, the ambience was fine, but it was nothing out of the ordinary, but it was still clean and nice.

The best omakase I've had for the money. The sushi is incredible. Everything was great, even the orange chicken was nice and crispy. The staff was amazing and the prices were VERY FAIR! The rolls were purple rice and they fill you up.

Service friendly and the food came insanely fast. And it was delicious. So many unique offerings, things I've never seen anywhere else. Their rice is purple, so that was new. I wish I had more time in the area to try more of their unique rolls. I'll be back.

It's a sad day when the sushi spot you have been a frequent guest is a place where the staff suddenly treats you rudely. The owner Juno sold to new management and that is right when things started going south. This evening was appauling! Instead of ordering my normal things I picked something new to try. It was a rice dish that lacked taste and the texture of the meat was weird. I told the waitress Mindy and she gave me major attitude saying "too bad" and I "have to have it". I was quick to remind her that I come to dine here frequently, by myself, with friends and have recommended Kodo to so many in the area. That all stops now! When it was clear I was not going to eat it, another waitress started yelling in my face causing an embarrassing scene then she took the dish, threw the food across the bar and pryed the fork from my hand. I asked nicely for my check despite the rudeness and Mindy scolded me "you come here and I always serve you but you not happy person". I said in reply "what is not nice is how you treat me as a loyal customer, so no I am not happy, please give me my bill I am leaving." The check had the rice item that I didn't like which was thrown away. I requested it be removed from the bill and was told a flat no. Mindy scolded again "you no like but you must pay anyways because you waste food" and that is when I about lost my patience. First of all it was yanked away from me and second of all most restaurants would never treat anyone so horribly. Apparently the new owner/manager was not there to take up my complaint but you can bet I will be following up with him. Completely unacceptable experience.

New owners.Updated menu - my menu was dirty and had sushi inside the pages. Just not the same vibes. The employees were still nice and attentive though. Bring back the old paper menus. Will not be back to this location, but heard the Scottsdale one is still the same menu. Maybe will give it a try since it's a bit of a drive.Salmon carpaccio - 4/5Pork tonkatsu - 3/5....they brought the rice out with the miso soup....so the rice was sitting for 20 mins before the main dish arrived.Hell fire roll - 0/5, all I taste is cream cheese, why the hot Cheetos topping that was stale!, should've just done sirarcha if you want the "fire"
