Say Sushi
Inside Say Sushi
Say Sushi in Maricopa offers a straightforward, full-service dining experience centered around Japanese and broader Asian cuisine. Situated just off John Wayne Parkway, it’s a cozy spot that has recently been refreshed with a cleaner, more modern interior, making it feel less like a small local joint and more like a balanced mix of casual comfort and updated style.
The atmosphere leans toward relaxed and unpretentious, making it a common choice for locals looking for reliable sushi or Asian fusion dishes in a comfortable setting. It tends to fill up quickly, especially with families or groups, so larger parties might find seating a bit limited during peak hours. The staff regularly receives positive mentions for being friendly and attentive, and they seem willing to accommodate special requests—even dishes not officially on the menu.
The menu thoughtfully balances sushi staples with appetizers and bowls that appeal to a variety of tastes. Favorites among regulars include crispy starters like the Monkey Balls and Calamari, as well as more unique items like Say Jalapeño and Lettuce Wraps for those seeking a bit of a spice kick or a lighter bite. The sushi rolls run the gamut from simple California Rolls to more adventurous choices such as the Insanity Roll and Bonzai Roll. For those who prefer cooked dishes, options like the Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Bowl or bibimbap offer a filling alternative.
Say Sushi works well for casual dinners, families, and those who appreciate a blend of traditional sushi and pan-Asian dishes in one place. Given its welcoming vibe and the care shown in the kitchen, it’s a comfortable stop for a weekday dinner or weekend outing alike. Early evening visits might be best to avoid the rush, especially if you’re dining with a group.
Expect the kind of atmosphere where you can settle in without feeling rushed, enjoy familiar Asian flavors, and perhaps discover a new favorite roll or appetizer through personalized service. While the space is small, the recent updates lend it a crispness that complements the fresh, thoughtfully prepared food coming from the kitchen.
