Sushi in and near Phoenix, AZ

Although Phoenix sits more than 200 miles away from the nearest beach, Phoenix sushi restaurants don’t seem bothered by the distance. As one of the best restaurants in Phoenix for fresh seafood, Hana Japanese Eatery serves ocean-fresh fish that the Phoenix New Times describes as “practically wriggling when it arrives.” James Beard Award winner Nobuo Fukuda leads the kitchen at Nobuo at Teeter House, one of the downtown Phoenix restaurants best known for its sushi. Fukuda creates whimsical versions of classic Japanese dishes using fish flown in directly from Japan.
