Toh Zan Nagasaki Grill 1135 North Recker Road, Mesa, AZ 85205

"This place is a gem for some authentic Japanese food. Everything I had was amazing and I'd gladly come back. The one downside is that it's a 45 min drive to get here for me. But if I'm out and about I'd gladly take the drive. Oishi!"

"Wow where have I been to not know this wonderful restaurant. The food is on point, no doubt, the sauce for the gyoza is remarkable, it has a slight spice that brings out the dumpling. Service, food, choices all five star. As a small suggestion, a little background music would help Thank you, this is a definitely once or more a week spot. Thanks for a great dinner"

"The Chan Pon is delicious! It's a Nagasaki specialty I did not think I would be able to get in Arizona. Best Tempura Udon I have had outside of Japan. I forgot to take a picture of my tekamaki but the tuna was generous. I'm so glad this restaurant is closer to my house now."

"No frills authentic Japanese food serving rice bowls, noodles, bentos and classic sushi. The gyuniku-don beef rice bowl has wonderful umami flavor. They only have traditional sushi - sashimi, nigiri, or simple rolls along with chirashi bowls. The salmon and tuna nigiri pieces were not tender, but could just be the cut. The gyoza is fried and delicious as is the chicken skewers."

"So we walked into this place, and almost didn’t give it a chance, because it seemed like a ghost town, and the decor was not great, but we decided to give it a shot, because the food reviews I had read were fantastic. In short, everyone was completely right about the food. Very good, fresh sushi, light and crispy, tempura, and savory beef. The service was fast as well. Within the first five minutes of eating, we knew we would be coming back again soon to try out more of the menu. I told the elderly Japanese owner that he should play some authentic Japanese music to improve the atmosphere, and he just smiled at me and said that he would sing me a song next time. Made me laugh. I like characters like that."
