Sushi Stop
2023 W Guadalupe Rd,
Mesa, AZ 85202

After a challenging experience at Gangnam - Sushi & Grill in Tempe, I was excited to explore Sushi Stop in Mesa, just 8 miles away.

I am absolutely thrilled that I chose Sushi Stop! The Sushi Chef Alex and his wonderful team were incredibly welcoming. Alex even has a lovely waitress with a radiant smile, which added to the delightful atmosphere. I truly enjoyed the warmth of this crew.

I ordered their Sashimi plates, and I was delighted by the freshness and firmness of the fish—so delicious! Alex surprised me with the REAL WASABI, not the typical green horseradish, which was a fantastic touch.

I had a fantastic evening filled with delicious fish and the friendly company of the staff. What an amazing sushi restaurant!

First, I never write reviews, and this review is not meant to disparage the new owners (I wish them the best of luck) but more to let old fans of Sushi Stop know that it has changed menu and ownership. Sushi Stop was my go-to place when Jay and Mei owned it. Unfortunately, they sold it in Oct. 2024 (best of luck to them on their new adventures!)

For those of you who were fans of the old Sushi Stop--you know exactly what I mean when I say this place was special. Double portions of fresh fish on top of plumply perfect nigiri. Monster speciality rolls (the J roll was my fav!) and amazing soups and curries rounded out the menu. Jay and Mei were special people--running their business with pride and greeting you with a smile. Mei would even text me when they had my favorite fish on special --monkfish liver pate!

The sushi I had in early Jan. 2025 under the new ownership wasn't bad, per se. It was "fine." The rice was a bit cold and undercooked and the miso soup was underwhelming. The fish was edible but not something I'd crave. If you're looking for affordable "basic" sushi Sushi Stop will be adequate. But that's what it is--adequate. No better or worse than your average low-cost sushi joint. (Personally, I'd prefer Bloomy Kitchen across the street--as the menu is a bit more extensive if you want katsu, udon soup, or pork buns, etc.)

I had tried this place with the previous owners and never went back because I felt the quality of the fish was not there. I heard they had new owners and decided to give it a try. The quality of the food and fish is definitely WAY better. Sushi rolls are absolutely delicious. I have now gone twice in the last month. The service is immaculate and the owner an absolute gem. Love that this is locally owned! Recommend the crunchy roll, Phoenix roll, spicy Alaska, and over the rainbow to name a few. Rolls are great size too! Highly recommend.

Q: What do you get when you cross fish and rice with a stiletto?
A: Shoe-shi!

The new owners are here and with that comes a menu revamp! And while they have big shoes to fill, as the previous owners were lovely, let's not compare the two. The menu of new items and consisted mainly of maki rolls, sashimi, nigiri, and salad.

We ordered the Jalapeno Poppers ($10.99), Shrimpcado Roll ($15.99), and the Spicy Alaska Roll ($17.99). Everything was made fresh and it was decent. The thing that I didn't quite enjoy was the overuse of unagi sauce and spicy mayo.

I'm glad they opened the dining lobby again. Having the option to dine in is always nice as sushi doesn't exactly travel well. Best of luck to the successors of Sushi Stop!

This review is not for the food as we didn’t eat. Walked in and employees were sitting at the sushi bar right by the door, eating McDonald’s. They were blaring ranchero music. Looked at the menu and it was $20-$25 for rolls beyond the classic stuff. We decided to ditch as it’s not a good sign when employees are eating fast food in the front, and the prices seemed outrageous especially given the area

Very sad to learn it's under new ownership. Unfortunately the food was not good. Double the price for half the roll, which was soggy.

Sushi Experience №8

Under new management. Portion size used to be amazing but now they’re like any other run of the mill place. They also raised prices from what they used to be. Definitely not the same quality either. So you get way less fish for even more money. The nigiri almost doubled in price and shrunk to less than half the size. The rolls used to be the size of my palm, now it’s about a quarter to third of the size. I am definitely missing the old owners. I’d love to know if the old owners are opening another spot! Don’t come if you used to love the old food. You will be sorely disappointed. Otherwise they’re an ok spot to go too. I’d still go to an all you can eat place at their pricing and size of rolls though.

Edit: I agree with the previous reviewer, the rice is stale as hell. It would’ve been better if they reheated it with water. I know, I make sushi at home sometimes when I’m up to it. Will definitely have to do so after this not so great experience. The sushi I make tastes way fresher. I had a modified J roll(not sure what they call it now) and an Alaskan roll that used to be called the Washington roll. The picture is of the J Roll with crab instead of spicy tuna. Their jalapeño bomb was really good though. Still not worth the price in my opinion. Now I need to find a new spot that can compete with California sushi. 😭

I know this won't end up on your front page, but you need to take down the one that is that says "they've been coming there for years".

This is NOT the Sushi Stop of old. You should have a review reflective of who you are now, not when it was being run by the old owners. Those reviews clearly aren't going to be nearly as good if being that disingenuous is how you intend to run the business. You don't get the benefit of the name's reputation when you don't even offer a fraction of what they used to.

This place is under new ownership and is now awful! Rolls are 1/4 the size for 2x the price. Tastes like gas station sushi. Rice wasn't even correctly cooked. It was undercooked and almost still crunchy. 1 star is generous. Since the roll was so bad and so much smaller, I ate leftover cold dominoes pizza afterwards and it was an improvement on the overall meal. I wish the old owners well. Hopefully they get bored in retirement and buy this place back in 6 months when this place goes under.

This place is under new management and very sadden to see so. Rolls are significantly smaller, below average taste, and less quality for the same price as the previous owners. The current star state review of this restaurant doesn’t reflect what it is now. Attached is a before and after of what this restaurant used to be. This place used to be a reputable establishment and now it’s turned to grocery store level sushi.

This sushi place used to be one of our favorites to carry out but I was disappointed to open the bag and see how tiny the rolls were for the same price as before the change. In addition, the food quality is lower and the best menu items are now gone. If you go expecting giant quality sushi rolls and delicious udon, I’m sorry to say you will also be disappointed. I understand changes in ownership and the service was still good but the rolls just aren’t the same.

Place under new ownership. Place has a nice vibe and now dine-in. Sad the old place is gone! New owners make sushi half the size, portions aren’t even half of the old owners and quality was mid. Please know these are NEW owners, NOT the old place. I will miss the old owners!

Your search for a hidden gem for great sushi is over. This was my first stop in and I decided to bring friends. What a great decision. The atmosphere was quaint but comfortable and definitely focused on personalized attention and care. Our server, Joanna was incredibly attentive and made sure our experience was top notch.

We started with the edamame - a quintessential staple, as well as the jalapeño poppers. These were pleasantly spicy while being filled to the brim with a delicious cream cheese filling thats then battered in tempura and fried.

We ordered 4 rolls: the mexican, the Arizona, the rainbow and the shrimp tempura roll. Each roll had its unique features but was fresh, expertly rolled and packed with flavor. We ordered a side of spicy mayo and were even offered freshly ground wasabi for those of us who like it really spicy. We barely needed to touch them because these rolls were so well made. The ginger slices were crisp, refreshing and juicy.

We can’t wait to come back and make more memories with great food and great company. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

We have eaten here twice, the first time approximately February 2023 and again just today, November 2024. The ownership recently changed. The quality of food, the portions and the prices were all 5+ star in 2023. Today, we were extremely disappointed and will not go back. The portions were probably half the size as previously. The quality of the food was average at best and the prices the same as before. There was such a a difference that my 10 year old made comments. If you are considering visiting look for reviews and comments dated mid to late 2024 or later.

I have been coming here for months under the previous owners. The new owner(s?) have friendly service and reopened dine-in. Their sushi rolls are nothing special so far but you should still give them a shot.

I paid $42 plus tip for to-go: 1 crunchy roll, 1 spicy tuna roll, 1 salmon roll.

All of the rolls are significantly smaller now. Yes there are more pieces of the rolls - now there are 10 pieces of roll vs 8. However the width of the rolls has changed significantly. For reference, the old rolls were thick - approximately the diameter of a coke can. These ones are the same size that you find most places: about 1 inch by 1.5 inches. This wouldn’t matter as much if not for two factors.

1. the old rolls gave me 2 meals - 1 per roll. Cost per meal was approximately $10-14 depending on what rolls I got. I bought 3 new rolls today and barely have two meals. That means my cost per meal has just jumped up to $20 per meal.

2. There is significantly less fish. The old rolls were so large because you got thick pieces of fish. I loved their salmon and tuna rolls because the fish was tasty and at the forefront of the roll. For reference, I dissected a few of the new salmon roll pieces and the salmon was 1cm by 3 cm by maybe a 1/4 cm.

I understand they probably want to save money - I would rather pay more per roll for the old rolls though because you could really taste the fish and its quality. OR get the old rolls at 6 pieces instead of 8 to be honest. In these new rolls. I could barely taste the salmon at all. Just rice.

Overall, am I extremely sad that the rolls have changed - yes. But if you never got to experience the old rolls, you should give these a shot before ruling them out. I have yet to try the katsu curry again and the crunchy roll was small but still flavorful.

A perfect family restaurant. They serve Salmon belly which is the best part of Salmon for Sashimi. They also have some special fish Sashimi such as Tuna Toro that you are hardly to find in other sushi restaurants. I do believe they have a unique supplier for those ingredients instead of 90%+ of sushi restaurants providing nearly same menu. I visited a lot of sushi restaurants in this area and most of them are using packed frozen ingredients.

SUSHI ROLL is so huge!!! Pork curry is good.
Price is fair even cheaper than other sushi restaurants.
Once I left my phone in this place after lunch and they extend business hour for waiting me back.

Very welcoming and definitely the biggest and best sushi I have had at a super affordable price. I couldn't even finish it. I bought the Dragon Roll and edamame beans and it took them only 5 minutes to complete my order.

Everything tasted so fresh. From the crab filling to the eel topping, perfect.

It is a lot more difficult to eat due to its size and not being bite-sized anymore, but I honestly can't complain. If you have good chopsticks skills, you will be fine.

What a gem! This is going to be a repeat spot for me. I spent about $112 for 5 rolls and 1 Fire Washington Bowl, and there was more than enough food for 3 people. We are all so full as I type this out.

Like everyone else has said, the rolls are huge and this place is take-out only. Seems like they had online ordering too. The lady in the front was super sweet.

The place looks cutesy and Japanese, so I suspect it’s Japanese-owned which is the first I’ve seen in this general area.

The rolls are all nearly thick as a coke can (so beware in case that’s not your thing). The flavors and ingredients are quality and delicious. We got the Mac Daddy, Las Vegas Roll, Compton roll, Jpop roll, Eel Avo Cucumber roll, and a Fire Washington bowl. We had to put the bowl in the fridge bc we did not expect such big rolls. We loved each roll.

This place is just one door, in the same plaza as a pizza place and a Goodwill. My big order took less than 20 minutes.

My only regret is not trying this place sooner. If you haven’t given this place a chance, please do, and you won’t regret it.

This place is the best. Their food quality is great. Price is the best. You can get a huge spicy tuna, crunchy, or salmon roll for 9 bucks. It's better and less expensive than anything else in the valley. Their premium rolls are out of this world. The mackerel is a family recipe and unmatched. Ask about the specials every time. They always have some exquisite fish, not on the menu. Sometimes they have the Onigiri and it's too good for only $4.50. I am so glad I live close to these guys because It happens to be the best in the whole valley without breaking the bank. TRUST THESE GUYS. They are Family!

The staff was super friendly, they do takeout only. It smelled really good, in regards to food, I got shrimp tempura, fried pork gyoza as appetizers and they were very average, didn't really taste that fresh to me, kind of seemed store bought. I got the mexican roll and the flavor was good but their rolls are INCREDIBLY big so you aren't able to even eat a piece by itself, I had to cut it in half and then the rice fell apart and it was a total mess and it kind of ruined the experience because I want to be able to appreciate all the flavors and textures of the roll in my mouth at the same time, not separate so I'm not a fan of the size, if it was a normal roll size I think it would have been great. Unfortunately I don't think I would go back.

This place is about value. You won't find a larger roll, perhaps anywhere in the world. It's always a bit cringe to spend $15+ on a roll, when I picked up the first box, the weight felt as if there was an entire fish inside. It's for sure a very fair price. Service is top notch. Kids enjoyed the hot food, and they are very picky (katsu and teriyaki).

If you like good quality sushi, go somewhere else. I'll start on a good note by saying the tokoyaki tasted phenomenal, lacking meat but a solid 4/5. The fish was also very fresh and tasty. The prices were cheap considering the size of the portions but that's exactly where the problems reside. Ridiculously oversized rolls filled with 90% crab salad. I'm talking the size of a regular piece of sushi worth of crab salad. And it's not even real crab, it's white fish/imitation. I could taste it. Totally skimped on ingredients too, barely any avocado, a TINY slice of cucumber, and no cream cheese present at all in any rolls. Food was extremely messy and hard to eat, TOO big to even fit in your mouth. I was gagging from the sheer amount of crab salad towards the end. Wouldn't recommend eating here as this place will ruin sushi for you.

I really hope they are just starting out, because this food truck was a train wreck. They couldn't keep up with orders, missed orders or left them to get cold when they were completed, and charged for different (more expensive) orders then what they served. My friend was recommended a dish, ordered and was charged for it, had their order lost, and when it was found was the wrong order. They told them the wrong order was the correct one in the system, and didn't admit anything was wrong until the credit card receipt for a more expensive item was shown. The food was pretty good, but the payment and ordering were a nightmare.

It can be difficult to find an Udon place in the east valley. It can be even more challenging to find a good Udon place. Luckily Sushi Stop Udon & Grill meets and exceeds that challenge. I got the regular udon with sushi and it really filled me up and tasted great. Udon was on point with great portions. I was disappointed though that dine-in still isn't available but I can imagine hiring right now might be difficult so I kind of understand from an overhead perspective.

With that being said I now drive from Phoenix and would like to sit and eat the amazing sushi you serve at your restaurant. I don’t need dine in service, just a place to sit and eat other than in my car or have to wait the 30min drive home.

Man I thought people were exaggerating about the portion sizes. These rolls are comically large... Each individual piece takes about 4-5 bites to eat. I ordered one of their specialty rolls for lunch and couldn't even finish it. Normally I'd be pretty sus about the quality with portion sizes that large, but it's very high quality. On par with a lot of the higher end sushi places in the valley, but at a fraction of the cost.

The owners are very friendly and so welcoming. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food they prepare. Excited to try the rest of their Japanese fare. On top of sushi, they serve tempura, curry, katsu, croquettes, unagi don, and udon. There's a severe lack of quality authentic Japanese food in the valley and so far I'm very pleased with the food and service here. Happy to give such a high quality family-run restaurant my business!

I used to love Sushi Eye (Chandler and Tempe/Ahwatukee) but they closed down. This place, Sushi Stop and Udon is AMAZING. The proprietors are super nice and friendly. My favorite rolls are the Dynamite and MacDaddy rolls, but all of them are delicious! The portions are also huge. Where I have to order 2-3 rolls at other sushi restaurants, I can barely finish the MacDaddy roll, even if I am hungry. My kid loves the udon. I will keep coming 1-2 times a week for pickup and I cannot wait for them to be open for seating after the lockdowns.

Sushi Stop is a cozy shop with a smaller menu than most sushi restaurants, but continually done with great quality. It's tucked away in your atypical Arizona strip mall along with some other family businesses. Owned by a very polite and friendly couple, they provide a smaller variety of fish than other sushi restaurants.

But that is not a downside!

In fact, they're an example to be followed. They deliver quality rolls, great value (size for the price) and select cuts/items on their daily specials menu that delights the taste buds. I take my coworkers here and drop by both for takeout (for myself) and solo dinners.

I typically get their 2-pc sushi (salmon, blue-fin tuna, fatty salmon, ikura, etc), and depending on how I feel a couple other items: lobster handroll (special), pork katsu-beef curry, crunch roll, or something else. Items are fresh and flavorful. Something you're not seeing? Maybe you're feeling the ingredients but not the form? Speak with them! They're very good about tailoring or customizing something for your palette.

I would advise caution if you've never been before, when ordering rolls. I've never seen another restaurant give such large portions (as in each piece of a roll is huge), and not just stuffing rice in there. Quality ingredients, friendly owners and a great local business!

HUGE portions. The server was very nice, and the bathrooms were clean. The food is fine, but it gets to be a little much if you get a California roll, or something similar with crab salad in the middle of the roll. I would come back, but I would think twice before ordering any California type roll.
I attached a picture with the roll next to my wedding ring for reference on the huge size of these rolls.

Delicious with huge portions and a very reasonable price. $15 sushi B combo had the biggest crunchy roll I’ve ever seen, with a lovely selection of nigiri. Had the restaurant to myself from 5-6 pm on a Tuesday, which is a senseless shame. Among the best value in the Phoenix valley for sushi. I’ll certainly be back. Small restaurant with pleasant but unexceptional ambience. Spotlessly clean. The service was charming and perfect.

Sushi Stop has fantastic food. It is delicious and the portions are larger than you might expect. We have done both dine-in and take out multiple times -- we eat Sushi Stop 1-2 times a month.

This place has some seriously delicious Japanese food. The portions are massive. Seriously, look at my photo of the Mexican roll next to a large dinner fork. MASSIVE! Everything tastes phenomenal too. It is a very small place so I would recommend doing their take out option. You can call ahead or go to their little take out counter, order and wait.
The staff is very friendly and will happily recommend things to you if you ask. I ordered a specially roll and a California roll and ended up taking half of them home. This place should have a Michelin star.
