   We have been going to Shimogamo in Chandler for decades and more recently in Gilbert. The food was exceptional, and the server was knowledgeable, explaining all the ingredients, where it was sourced, with recommendations on how to pair some of the items. We tried a new saki he recommended, and it did not disappoint. There was a lovely couple next to us, and we shared the saki and nice conversation. I highly recommend Shimogamo for fresh, unique, and delicious food.

   Made a reservation, sat at the sushi bar. Felt like nobody was assigned to take care of us. We had to ASK FOR small plates, ginger, wasabi, etc. Service matters, and this visit didn’t measure up. Food was outstanding, as always.

   My daughter and I had a very enjoyable dining experience at the sushi bar Friday night. The seafood taste, variety and quality were all excellent, with a decent number of higher end choices available. Service was top notch both behind the counter and on the floor. Our Sushi Chef was friendly and helpful making our selections, and the waiter was attentive throughout our dinner. I would highly recommend giving this new location of Shimogamo a try! NOTE: As some reviewers have observed, we did find service to be somewhat hit-or-miss when they first opened this location, which was a letdown if you were accustomed to dining at the original location. They appear to be past that, as it was a full house on both the tables and Sushi bar when we dined and service was excellent throughout the evening.

   Sushi was amazing, best to go early as it got busy and is a smaller restaurant compared to others in neighborhood.

   The Sushi was exceptional. The pork cats was average and the Ramen is not something I would order again

   Disappointment. Service was disorganized and I was overcharged. When I called they were dismissive. They did give a refund but since the service that night was terrible and all the rolls tasted the same. I won't go back. I see all of the nice reviews and wonder ... Is this their first visit to a sushi restaurant and therefore are easily impressed? or are they so used to bland flavors and poor service that they are oblivious to the amazing choices nearby that are so so much better.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants! Food is always top-notch and so is the service.
