Sushi Kee

Amazing sushi, amazing service! You wouldn’t think of stopping at this place to eat just by the sketchy looking parking lot but give it a try because it’s really great! My boyfriend said it is at the top of his list for favorite spots for sushi and he is extremely picky!

Flew into Mesa –Gateway airport yesterday and first stop per my boyfriend was Sushi Kee — a favorite spot when he lived here — did not disappoint! The baked mussels are AMAZING — they should have more description on the menu as I think most folks are missing out on these crab topped delights! Also enjoyed the crazy lobster roll with cucumber wrap and the squid salad! Happy hour prices at lunch :)

Amazing speciality rolls; Hurricane and Nacho mama were delicious. I had the Nacho Mama without jalapeños! Great happy hour prices also.

Oh Sushi Kee, how I love thee! I’ve been coming here for years ever since a friend recommended it. Im glad she did because they have awesome rolls. My favorites are the Arizona, Hurricane, Tiger, Kee, Salmon Avacodo, and the California rolls are the best! The portions are huge, the service and Chefs are awesome. I wish I lived closer so I could come here more often.

Yikes, I give this place 2 stars. Sushi rolls were ok but not rolled tight and fell apart when I picked them up. The Tempura was awful. Soggy, not crispy at all and not made correctly. I use to be a Tempura Chef at the beginning of my Chef career and could have gone back and made it WAY better myself. The shrimp was lymph and the 2 asparagus still had the inedible ends on them. I sent it back to be redone but it was barely much better. The Miso was questionable as the color was strange. There was so much dressing on my salad there was a pool in the bottom of the bowl. I thought the place needed an update desperately as well as a good cleaning. It is probably a popular lunch place for nearby business like Boeing.

Been going since 2011!
Every single visit its the same order: red mountain, not deep fried… ALWAYS PERFECT
If you are wanting good sushi go here.
Its not a fancy date night setting but its great food.

This is not in a pretty area by any means. It was almost a drive on by type of place.
That being said… My friend told me to give it a shot. I had several rolls to get a good idea of the place. Spicy tuna, hurricane, Las Vegas, Arizona, and keys. My only beef was with the spicy tuna. Not much flavor and it was in a different type of roll then I am used to. The flavors were very nice on the other rolls. My favorite was the Arizona and hurricane.
The place was a little dark and warm for my liking, but the service was great and so was the food. Not a bad find in east Mesa. I will be back for sure!

I’ve been going there for years. It’s the best sushi in the East Valley. They are very friendly and always give me a gift at Christmas. The fish is very fresh and reasonably priced. They get creative with there rolls and specials.

I’m snobby about sushi after growing up in LA and living in SF. Sushi Kee is delicious and I will totally drive myself to its strip mall destination in Mesa whenever I want a fix. Everything generally comes with a standard salad and miso soup (which are fine), but the star really is the sushi. Sashimi is no joke and there are tons of rolls from which to choose. We got a bizarre array of nude rolls, dragon rolls, unagi… so good and fresh. This place reminds me of the low key and awesome sushi restaurant I grew up next to in LA. Plus, everything goes on Happy Hour special prior to 6:30pm!

Found on Power rd and best place around and did I mention fresh and huge portion will be regular fer sure

This was our first time here and it was excellent! Everything we got was fresh and very good. The rolls are huge and very well made. If you sit at the sushi bar they give you a great little seafood salad for free, it’s excellent! It’s in a run down little strip mall but don’t let that stop you from trying it.
Great place! We’ll definitely be back!

I don’t want to jinx it. But this place is my new fav sushi spot! I cannot believe it took us so long to discover this great find. They have great pricing and very good quality sushi. We have gone four times in less than 2 weeks! I love how they have a variety of different rolls and a lot of sushi options without rice. Service could be better with refills. But it’s still delicious and I Can’t wait to go back again.

I have to update my review. My boyfriend and I went here the other night for dinner. I was SO excited since I hadn’t eaten here in awhile. He ordered the mongolian beef and I got my favorite Crunchy roll. His food came out 15 minutes before mine did, so he let me pick at it until my roll was done. My roll was still good, but the chef was super heavy handed on the eel sauce so it was a bit of a sticky mess. The place was super crowded and the waitress kept bumping into his chair. When we finally finished eating it took 30 minutes to get our check. Overall I was super disappointed in our visit there. Not sure that we will be dining in again anytime soon.

Fast, friendly service and good, but not great, sushi.
Sushi Kee isn’t located in an area where you’d typically think of a decent sushi restaurant being located. But I went inside because of the decent ratings here on Unilocal,and I am happy I did so. The interior of the restaurant is nothing spectacular, but it has a decent number of tables and seating area at the sushi bar. As I was there by myself, I sat at the bar.
The restaurant wasn’t too full, but I got attention from no less than 3 employees while I was eating. My water was always full and my sushi orders were quickly taken and processed, all with a smile.
As for the food itself, I was impressed with the variety of options on the menu. There are a number of traditional sushi options as far as the nigiri, sashimi, and rolls go. There are also a few more unique roll options with local names (like Apache and Arizona) and some rolls that are made with cucumber rather than with rice.
I tried a couple of those unique rolls – the Apache and the Crazy Lobster, I believe. Both were pretty solid. The Crazy Lobster is one of the cucumber rolls – I rather enjoyed the break from the traditional rice roll. For anybody who cares, it’s a good way to have your sushi be even less carb intensive. And the Apache was also pretty good. It is baked and has a spicy sauce on it, so it provides some warmth that other sushi rolls might not for a cool evening.
Finally, I ended my meal with a «dessert» order: the unagi nigiri. This order of eel has a nice, sweet sauce to it that really does make for a nice finisher for a sushi meal. Sushi Kee’s version of the unagi was a little heavy on the sauce for my liking, but it was nonetheless pretty tasty.
As the local, seemingly best option for sushi, I’m sure that I’ll be back.

I have ate here now three times. The first time I ate here my wife told me I had to try it. I have passed by several times never even taking a notice at it because of the area that it was in. However I can tell you after walking into the store it’s like you’re in a completely different area. The staff there are very friendly, the food is awesome, the serving size is bigger than most sushi places, you would never know just how good this place is if you only judge a book by its cover. This has now become one of my favorite sushi places.
You should give it a try if you’re ever in the area, I know I too fail short of not judging a book by its cover. I am so happy that my wife told me about this place.

Great place for sushi. I love the murphy n viva vegas rolls. The ladies are really nice. Such a simple side salad is included but it is delish. Soup is good too.

This is a family favorite place. We found that the sushi here is some of the best in the entire valley, with a much more reasonable price. Definitely better than places like Ra, is more authentic, and reasonably priced. We love the Hawaiian roll, and I’ve always found the staff very friendly

I wasn’t expecting much from this little hole in the wall behind Big Lots. I was dead wrong. Absolutely delicious and the waitress was a sweetheart. My kids and I were in heaven. I live closer to Zushi’s but I’m not a fan. Sushi Kee will be our to go sushi spot.

My 8^th time in Sushi Kee. and thus the rating reflects an average rating. It has been a hit or miss based primarily on whether I sat at the sushi bar or not. In the times I did, the experience was positive, however for the times I was on the normal dinner/​lunch tables the experience and food was lacking. The review is primarily to state that the menu they have on the Unilocal site is utterly wrong.
I went in trying to order the Ochazuke which shows up on the full menu link. However neither the waitress nor the part owner knew anything about this even though Unilocal claims that only the owner can populate these details. So instead I ordered the Udon with Tempura. The mess that was given to me was made up of packaged broths with packed fried onions as garnish and packaged udon noodles. I could barely swallow half even though I was famished

I’ve been to sushi kee in Chandler and really liked it, so I had high hopes for this location. We ordered 5 rolls and they came out on a large tray together and everything looked good. But I learned not to
Judge a book by its cover. The sushi didn’t taste fresh and the rice seemed off. Had a bad fishy smell. I ate two pieces before deciding it wasn’t worth the possibility of getting sick over. I’m not one to complain at restaurants unless there’s really a problem, and this was one of those times. Only reason I’m not giving one star is because the waitress was really helpful and took the rolls off our bill even when we offered to pay for some since we ordered so many.
