    Their carmel espresso martini is literally the best espresso martini I’ve ever had and the cherry blossom flavored drink was incredible. I’m not a huge sushi eater and I still love this place, the gyoza and sliders are absolute must try’s for my fellow non-seafood eaters. My boyfriend got the crispy rainbow roll and the spicy tuna rolls and was raving about both of them. 10/10 we’ve been twice and will definitely be back!!!!

    It was our first time at the restaurant; we met friends there for a leisurely lunch. I ordered sushi tuna nigiri.....excellent. Everyone else had tempura or beef sliders. Our friends said it was the best tempura! I marked them down in service. The food came out slow and one at a time - like there might just have been one chef or the chef only does one thing at a time. Otherwise, it was an excellent restaurant experience.

    Fantastic sushi in a great setting. The fish was extremely fresh, and the toro was outstanding, easily the highlight of the night. The ambiance is stylish and relaxed, perfect for a night out on High Street. One of the best sushi spots in north Phoenix, and we'll definitely be back.

    Kanoki has great food and drinks. We liked that the menu has a few classic rolls but is largely unique rolls and other bites that you don’t see everywhere. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The vibe was nice - electric without being too loud to talk. We thought the lighting and the atmosphere were just right.

    First time visit for a birthday celebration. We had reservations, they sat us quickly at the sushi bar. We were able to enjoy some happy hour items and drinks. Took recommendations from the sushi chef and ordered. Food was excellent.
