Best Sushi Restaurants in Scottsdale
Scottsdale, Arizona — updated August 22, 2026
Six Scottsdale sushi bars ranked by how convincingly their ratings hold up, from a North Scottsdale strip-mall standby with more than 1,100 reviews to a fine-dining room on Scottsdale Road.

Scottsdale's sushi is split between two worlds: the destination rooms along Scottsdale Road and Camelback, and the neighborhood counters tucked into strip centers north of the 101, where the regulars are. The ratings tell that story clearly. The two highest-scoring restaurants in this guide are both the second kind, and both have the review volume to prove the score is not a fluke.
1. Kodo Sushi Sake
The strongest combination of score and evidence in Scottsdale: 4.7 across 1,109 reviews, which is a rating that has been tested by a lot of people over a long stretch rather than propped up by a good opening month. It sits on Northsight Boulevard in north Scottsdale, in the commercial pocket off Raintree, so it draws a weekday business crowd early and a neighborhood crowd later. Parking is the usual surface lot, which makes it an easier proposition than the valet situations closer to downtown. If you only try one sushi bar in the city on the numbers alone, this is the defensible pick.
2. Hiro Sushi
Effectively tied with Kodo on quality and nearly matched on volume: 4.7 from 1,041 reviews. It is on North 90th Street near Scottsdale Ranch, well east of the Scottsdale Road corridor, which means most of its business is repeat local traffic rather than resort walk-ins. That is usually the profile of a room that holds its standard on a Tuesday, not just a Saturday. It is a small operation by address and layout, so peak dinner hours fill and a wait is likely; going early or late is the practical move.
3. Uchi Scottsdale
The high-end entry, at 3821 N Scottsdale Road, just north of the downtown restaurant cluster. It carries a 4.5 from 514 reviews, a rating built on a smaller but still substantial base than the two above it, and one worth reading as a fine-dining score rather than a neighborhood one: expectations are higher and reviewers are harsher. Treat it as the occasion restaurant on this list. Reservations are the sane approach given the location and the dinner-focused format, and it is the one address here where the room itself is part of what you are paying for.
4. Sushi Sen Scottsdale
A 4.4 from 698 reviews puts this one squarely in proven territory rather than promising: enough volume that the number is settled, slightly below the leaders. It is at 7001 N Scottsdale Road in Ste 154, on the Paradise Valley end of the corridor, which makes it a convenient stop for anyone staying near Lincoln and Scottsdale Road. Suite numbering means it is set back within a center, so allow a minute to find the entrance. A reasonable default when the north Scottsdale counters are full and you do not want to drive out to Northsight.
5. Sushi Brokers
The highest review count among the independents here, at 1,185, with a 4.3 rating. That combination is worth reading honestly: a score that low across that many reviews is not an accident of a bad night, but it is also a rating that has survived heavy traffic, which usually signals a busy, high-turnover room rather than a quiet counter. It sits at 17025 N Scottsdale Road in far north Scottsdale, near the Kierland and Grayhawk end of the corridor. Good for a group, less suited to a slow omakase-style evening.
6. Khao Thai and Sushi at Scottsdale
Last here for two reasons, both of them plain. First, the menu is split between Thai and sushi, so it is only partly answering the question this guide asks. Second, its 4.7 rating comes from 303 reviews, a real sample but the thinnest on this list, which makes the score promising rather than proven. It is on Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard in northeast Scottsdale, out past Shea, and the hybrid format makes it the easiest solution for a table where not everyone wants raw fish. Worth trying if you are already in that corner of the city.
What we left off
Two well-known Scottsdale sushi names were cut on the chain rule rather than on quality. RA Sushi - North Scottsdale, on North Scottsdale Road, is part of a multi-state restaurant group, and Nobu Scottsdale, at 7014 E Camelback Road, belongs to an international brand with locations worldwide. This guide covers independent Scottsdale restaurants only, so both were removed regardless of their ratings. Nothing on the previous version of this list has closed.
