Hubby and I love this place! When we decided to move to Gilbert last year our first priority was finding a sushi joint in the area. After a few misses we found Ryu, conveniently less than 3 minutes from our house!
The decor is great. Very tasteful and cool, not over the top like a lot of sushi places tend to be.
The owner is seriously the sweetest person the planet. Whenever we come in she comes over and hugs us, asks how my parents are doing (they're snowbirds). She's always happy to recommend things for us to try, and so far we've loved everything she's suggested.
Anyway, onto what you really care about, the food! Their fish is always fresh and the rolls are always tight. I can't stand when my roll falls apart after I dip it in soy sauce! If you like salmon, you MUST try the rainbow trout and salmon belly, they're seriously to die for. We always order a sour roll (without lemon juice as sometimes they put way too much on) and the BBQ salmon roll along with sashimi. We've tried a few of their other rolls, hubby and friends more than me as most of their special rolls are spicy and I don't do spicy. So far everything's been delicious.
Their Teriyaki chicken and salmon is also really good according to my parents.
Our only complaint is that they don't have much in the way of specials or happy hour, so it's a bit expensive. Definitely worth every penny though!
