Good Sushi in Gilbert
Wed, Mar 5, 2008
It exists! My husband and I have been driving 40 min to go to a great sushi restaurant - Akai Hana (also known as Mr. Sushi) in Phoenix (8041 N Black Canyon Hwy, Phoenix, AZ 85021 ). But, finally we have found a good sushi restaurant closer to home. Sushi Ave. is located in the NW corner of Guadalupe and Higley. 866 N. Higley Rd. #101, Gilbert, AZ 85234.
The atmosphere is chic with low-light candles on the tables and a granite counter sushi bar. Every hostess and sushi chef greets you when you arrive and thanks you when you leave. I heard that the manager of Sushi Ave. used to work for RA - an upscale and typically overpriced restaurant chain.
My husband likes to order the Sashimi (truly raw pieces of Tuna, Salmon, Crab, Red Snapper etc.) I prefer the rolls - often cooked. My favorite at Sushi Ave. is the “Caterpillar Roll” that has a sweet terriaki-like sauce. The California Rolls are also really fresh and crisp. We also tend to order the Edamame (edible soybeans with sea salt) and the hot green tea.
Feel welcome to post a comment with your own review of Sushi Ave.

I love reading your blog. You seem like a natural in sharing your experiences. I am starting my blog as well, do you think only natural writers can have something to share?

Josh, I think the trick to a successful blog is to be honest and share real experiences. If you can SHOW (with pictures/video) in addition to TELL, that is helpful too. Also you seem to have a good nitch with sushi and dining in CA. Best wishes and thanks for reading this blog. If you ever have a real estate need (even in CA) give me a shout and I hope I can help. - Becky
