Yanagi Sushi

Legitimately some of the best food I have ever had!VEGAN SUSHI?!?! And "CHICKEN" WINGS on a stick!?!This place has never disappointed. The staff is so kind and attentive. The food is unbelievable and the prices are so reasonable. Their specials are crazy good as well. Cheaper beer than most restaurants too if that is your thing!It has become one of my favorite spots in the valley and I love taking friends here because there are so many menu options for everyone!

Cousins brought me here twice. Seems to be their go-to sushi spot. Decor is like most sushi restaurants including lighting.Everything is just average. Nothing too memorable - good or bad. Honestly can't remember the rolls ordered. My cousin does enjoy the warm sake though. If you're looking to be wowed, then find another. But if you're looking to satisfy a sushi craving, then you can't go wrong here.

5-Stars. Would Recommend. We arrived at noon on a Friday and we were the first ones to occupy the restaurant. Within the first 10 minutes, about 5 more parties came in. The food was great. They have many vegan options if that's your thing. The ambiance was nice. Mom & Pop type of restaurant. Forgot to take a pic of the sushi before we started eating it. There were 8 pieces per roll.We got the following:-soft shell crab appetizer-edamame -miso soup-the cardinal roll-the house roll-rainbow roll Total: $86 before tax.

Soft-shell crab! This place had exactly what we were looking for! Not only do they serve a Spider Roll with soft-shell crab, but you can also order it as an appetizer on its own. We started our visit trying the Spider Roll and the soft-shell crab appetizer. The roll you have to ask for, as for some reason it's not on the printed menu in the restaurant. Both were delicious, but surprisingly each had a different batter. The appetizer was coated in panko and the sushi roll soft-shell crab used tempura. We decided we liked the tempura better and wished they also used that batter for the appetizer soft-shell crab. In addition to the above, we tried the Scorpion Roll and the Veggie Tempura Roll. The Scorpion Roll was good, but probably my least favorite of what we tried that day. I found this roll to be a little over sauced for my taste (but I also rarely use soy sauce on my rolls). The Veggie Tempura was a true underdog, and shockingly amazing. If you're up for something different, get the Veggie Tempura Roll. The veggie roll was just so flavorful and crispy and a perfect texture. Ambiance was pretty typical of a mom and pop style Japanese restaurant. We came at lunch time during a week day and had the place to ourselves. Service was top notch, our waitress was extremely attentive and kind. Would recommend and will come back.

Omg the best vegan sushi! So glad I was able to find this to ease my pregnancy cravings! Delicious food great price and great service!

What a great local spot for your fresh sushi. Stopped by and placed an order to go for mother's day, and they were quick to greet, temp seat me and provide a menu. Looks love a legit spot to dine in with friends and family. It is located in the back behind another building but clearly marked with their business name. They also have a vegan menu!Try their dragon roll and lobster roll baked...so good!

It's our anniversary and we had decided to try a new sushi spot tonight, but at the last minute, I changed my mind and decided to hit up our old reliable with fingers crossed that it hadn't gone downhill like so many other restaurants we have recently visited. It certainly didn't disappoint. We ordered the albacore garlic roll, the sunrise roll, sexy, what's up and oh you fancy huh rolls as well as the chicken wing appetizer. Everything was DELICIOUS and the what's up was so good my husband and I were fighting over the last piece so we went ahead and ordered another. Service is always excellent and I was reminded there is a reason this is my favorite sushi spot in the valley.

Had yet another incredible meal at Yanagi! I am always blown away by the creativity of their vegan options- as someone who is not vegan, I hope you'll take my word when I tell you how delicious the vegan options are (and I really love eating meat, so that's saying a lot!). I have come here several times, but this time around I lucked out because they had just rolled out a new vegan menu (!!!!) with all the tasty options from before and more. The dishes that I tried:- Agedashi Tofu - first time trying a tofu dish like this and I'm obsessed!! The tofu is lightly toasted (it might be fried but I'm not sure! The outside batter is so light and delicate and not greasy in the slightest). The flavor of the tofu itself is incredible as well- I felt like I could really taste the underlying soy flavor in the best way possible!- Vegetable Gyoza - another delightful surprise! I have had many vegetable gyoza dishes before, so I thought I knew what to expect, but the Yanagi gyoza is different! Crispy green shell + filling with a variety of flavors and textures- Veggie Kimbap - per our hostess Misook's suggestion. Classic kimbap flavors and ingredients, executed perfectly! Reminds me a home-cooked meal, would highly recommend if you are like me and craving some comfort food.- Vegan Spicy Tuna Crunchy Roll - maybe our favorite of the new rolls we tried. Great balance of texture and flavor. There was spice coming from the tuna, sweet and salty coming from the eel sauce, richness from the mayo, freshness from the cucumber, crunch from the crumb topping + cucumber.... so good!!- Tempura Green Beans - can't quite recall the name of this dish, but it was another one of my favorites! The frying batter is so light and airy. Perfectly salted. I would choose this over a french fry or potato chip any day- Veggie Tempura Roll - another dish with yummy tempura! This time it was sweet potato tempura inside the roll. I'm so amazed at how they managed to maintain the crisp inside the roll. - Spicy Vegan Shrimp Monsoon - I always order one of the monsoon rolls whenever I come. That's how much I love this dish! The spicy version is definitely spicy (much spicier than the spicy tuna roll due to there being a pepper in the roll), so I'd recommend it if you're a fan of spice.- Yanagi Roll - this roll is like a mixture of the other rolls and appetizers we tried (with the seaweed, tofu, pickled veggies...), except it has a more tart flavor profile than the others (I think because the others we tried had the eel sauce). I would especially recommend this if you are a big fan of tofu or enjoy a more rice vinegar heavy roll!- Matcha Mochi Ice Cream - perfect way to end our meal! Strong matcha flavor, good quality ice cream, super soft mochi dough (sometimes the grocery store mochi ice cream can be a bit tough). Loved the addition of whipped cream!- Iced Green Tea - highly recommend! Thicker green tea, smooth yet strong flavor (reminds me of matcha), super refreshing. I wish I knew how to make this at home.Walked away from this meal very very happy! Already looking forward to the next time I'm in AZ so that I can come back :)Thanks to Misook and the lovely team at Yanagi!!

Great sushi place. I call it the "hidden gem" of Chandler. Fish is always fresh, they don't over sauce, and plenty of food. The service is super nice. The ambiance is casual and cozy. Sat at the bar and met the sushi chef. BTW, great happy hour menu.

From the service to the food to the freshness, this is THE sushi place. Hands down the best sushi in the valley. Being vegan, it's difficult to find to good selection of sushi. The hardest part eating here is deciding what to order. You cannot go wrong.
