On Bell Road in NW Phoenix/Glendale you will find several places to enjoy sushi. This place is near the top when you consider quality, value, and overall experience out of all the choices you have to chose from.
Located in a completely renovated strip mall anchored by a Fry's, the place atctually looks nice from the outside and not rundown like so many other unfortunate strip malls littering the valley. Says something for the area if they feel it is necessary to make it look new and fresh again.
The inside is nice and cozy, very inviting, with soothing music to help you enjoy your sushi/sashimi/or japanese food as you desire. The quality is fresh and delightful with appropriate portion size as well. They have great daily specials with bento box choices, sushi, or even teriyaki chicken.
This place is a very good choice for Japanese food for the area. I haven't tried the teppanyaki with my many visits, but sometime I will. Maybe an update will be due after such. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend Fresh Wasabi to anyone.
