Marcela PalefskyNovember 14, 2013I eat here religiously! Not only is the sushi delicious and the staff friendly, but the Happy Hour deals are amazing. Make sure to go from 3-7pm or 9-11pm on weekdays to catch these specials!Upvote1Downvote
Christen NavarreteMarch 29, 2012If your looking for a good deal and better sushi other than the MU, Sushi 101 is the place to be. Happy hour is half off which makes a difference. My favorite rolls are philly and the las vegas roll!Upvote1Downvote

StephenFebruary 16, 2013The best low key spot to get a roll and drink some saki. Never over crowded or loud for the most part. Great sushi or entre plates as well.UpvoteDownvote
NathanApril 5, 2011Happy Hour=cheap sushi rolls. I love to come here, order 5 rolls and pig out. The Sakura roll and the golden state roll are simply amazing, but watch out, the golden state might upset your stomachUpvoteDownvote

Vanessa HodgesMarch 7, 2012The Shrimp Tempura is really good and they have really good crab cakes but they only come on top of their crab cake salad. It's worth it though.Upvote1Downvote

- Dia SaitoNovember 18, 2013This place isn't the best, but it is very close to campus so sometimes convenience overrules quality. If you have more time and money, Kabuki at Tempe Marketplace is much better.UpvoteDownvote
