Shimogamo is a great place for sushi. So nice to have a small, quiet, friendly, and most importantly, authentic Japanese sushi restaurant in Phoenix. No gimmicks, just good quality fish and no skimping on it either. Al the head chef is a friendly guy who also cuts his fish with the best of them. The owner Yoshi and his wife (she's usually busy in the kitchen) have a jewel in the ruff in Shimogamo.
For those fans of Japanese curry (I know it's not sushi!) mamasan makes it from scratch and it isn't on the menu. Try a katsu curry plate for dinner sometime. It will blow your tastebuds and mind! Fo real! So next time you're in the mood for some buttery Toro or tasty Hamachi, roll on by Shimogamo
