    I'd give Bei a 3.5. Who ever the Yelpers are that compare it to Shin Bay, have obviously never been to Shin Bay. Not even close to Hiro, for that matter. We're talking Ra or Kona Grill at best. For shame fellow Yelpers, let's just call a spade, a spade. It's passable sushi in Scottsdale. For those who disagree...get out more. Try real sushi.

    Everything was tasty here and the people were so nice. I had the lunch bento box. The spicy pork was delicious as was the tempura. It was all very good but I wouldn't say it was special. Still, if you're in the mood for solid Japanese food, this is a good spot.

    The staff is really friendly and quick. I usually split the blazing alaska (my favorite because of the thin sliced jalapeño) and another roll like a spicy salmon. The happy hour deals are pretty unbeatable and the lunch sashimi special is a good deal as well. I wish they had less cream cheese integrated in the menu but that's just me. A lot of people really enjoy the cream cheese filled rolls. Also a good place for take out if you live in the area.

    Amazing! They have lunch specials everyday, not just M-F. The Sunshine Roll is pure heaven, in fact, I can't stop thinking about it. The sushi is super fresh and beautifully presented. Cute place, great sushi, awesome service, I'm totally hooked!

    One of my favorite places to eat sushi in Scottsdale. Great staff, great food and overall a 5* experience. Always crave Bei for their awesome fish.

    I dropped by for lunch. I had one of their lunch specials ... a vegetable tempura bento box. It was excellent. I wanted to order a roll, but I was told that the bento box would suffice. There was quite a bit of food! I plan on going again. I want to try something else! :)

    I was in the mood for sushi during lunch one day, but most of the sushi places in downtown Scottsdale are too loud/hip/fancy/expensive. I decided to try Bei, since it's in a modest strip mall and takes to-go orders. I called in and ordered the Golden Alaska and Vegetable rolls with a side of edamame to go, and was told it would only be 10-15 minutes, even though it was around noon during lunch rush hour. I got to the restaurant and everyone seemed very friendly. The waiter said he was including miso soup in my order as well, and by some miracle the total only came out to $12 -- I looked at the receipt and saw they gave me some sort of sushi combination lunch special price, even though I didn't order anything from that menu. The sushi was awesome, and it was the best free miso soup I've had. Usually the soup at other restaurants is just salty broth, but this had a lot of tofu and seaweed and was something I would actually pay for with my order. I will definitely be going back for lunch.

    Being a lover of sushi my husband and I love to check all as many local sushi places as possible. This place has great reviews but the sushi did not live up to our expectations. The classic rolls (i.e., spicy tuna) was the best thing we had. All of their 'specialty' rolls seemed similar and we're not great. Main upside of this place...they're open until midnight!

  • Lisa G.

    I was in town for a conference and wanted a quick sushi dinner on my first night in. This place did not disappoint! I ordered and it was delivered to me in under 30 minutes! I chose the cucumber salad, which was delicious and well-balanced (not too acidic) and the Big Time Roll, which was delicious. I was also thrilled that they did not put the extra sauce on the roll, as I usually like less sauce than others. Overall, this was absolutely the right choice and I would order from them again!

  • Chris P.

    Salads remain tasty, and the calamari fillet appetizer was tasty. Hot sake is also good. This is the second time I've been here, and the second time I have received so-so service from the sour-faced waitress and great service from the busboy. I wish my tip would go to him exclusively. Come for the starting salad... Then get out quickly and go elsewhere for main courses and sushi rolls, as ours were of average quality and upper-third pricing.

  • Laura L.

    Very decent place to get sushi. Everything was pretty good. I love the Scottsdale Roll. The place is big but wasn't crowded or busy. Nothing special and just an average sushi place but definitely a place to go if you want some good sushi in Arizona.

    Best sushi in The Phoenix area! Staff is always pretty nice and the quality is awesome. Have never had a roll I didn't like! I go there a few times a month! Highly recommend you try it out

  • Angie B.

    I'm so glad that we found this place. I've only had rolls and I highly recommend them. Prices are fair and the lunch special can't be beat, but it's great for dinner as well. Special shout out to Gary, a great waiter!

  • Chris H.

    Great spot. We often go for the late happy hour (9pm-close) and get a couple appetizers and Sake bombs. Appetizers are $3-7.

    My family has our traditional sushi place in Phoenix, which has now closed (RIP Sushi on Shea!). This was our attempt to replace it. Although there are not a large number of particularly fancy rolls, the sushi was well-made and super tasty. The salads were reasonably priced and had lots of fish on them (especially the spicy tuna salad, which is amazing!). The Green Bei Roll will be something I will go back to again and again. The servers were very attentive and food came out very quickly.

    I've been wanting to try this place since I called to order my Tai dinner one night from Lao & was told it was gonna be a sushi restaurant, awhile ago now. Finally got the opportunity this night. The floor plan is much smaller than what Lao Tai had to offer (for a group of two or four your just fine). K & I ordered a lot of food as K had been camping for the last five days & was quite hungry. All of the appetizers we had were very yummy. Because of our hunger & it happening to be happy hour we ordered 9 different types of sushi! There was only one of the 9 that was not to our likening. We were very pleasantly greeted & seated, but am sad to say our waitress & overall service was less than enthusiastic. It is really unfortunate because we are a family of sushi lovers, & I will now hesitate to return, even just for take-out.

  • Derek J.

    Since I moved to Scottsdale from Tucson, Ive been trying to find a place that I could go to for sushi that wasnt called Ra. My buddy and I went for the reverse happy hour and were able to try anything we wanted because of the affordable prices of the rolls. This place is awesome and the service is great and attentive. I would recommend this spot to anyone. They also have live music some nights.

  • Lyndsay S.

    Love this place! Chang is the best! Seriously, quit surfing for other sushi reviews mid-Scottsdale. If you go there ask for Chang, I ordered once and came back like a month later and he asked me if i wanted the exact same thing and quotes my order. Amazing service!

    My fist time here thanks to all the great Yelp reviews and you guys are the best!!! Great customer service and the food came out fast!!! Got the baked yellowtail collar appetizer and it opened up our palettes for their great sushi. Can't wait to come back again!

  • Charlie O.

    Not only do they have arguably the best sushi in town but the customer service is also five star. Very friendly and accommodating, even when I ordered after they had shut down the kitchen, they still took my to go order. That's what keeps people coming back...and the Bei special roll.

  • Chuck F.

    Had the sushi lunch. And a saki bomber. Nice friendly quick service on a Saturday under $30. Nothing special but more than average for Phoenix at a reasonable price

  • Marie K.

    This has been my third visit to Bei, and 2 out of the three times I have been extremely happy. I love how the menu has udon noodles and some other dishes I have not found at other sushi restaurants, and the sushi is pretty good. Also, any place that has happy hour until 7 is awesome, however an advertised $7 per sake bomb is nothing to get excited about.

    We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door. Quickly seated and served water and menus. I like how they decorated the restaurant. Much better than the previous Thai restaurant that was here before. I ordered the Calamari appetizer. I believe the best Calamari appetizer I have ever tasted. Loved the crisp panko coating. I also had the Tootsie Roll. Very good and filling. My friend ordered the lunch special Mixed Tempura Box. Boy, did it look yummy! It must have been because he ate every bite. The Bento Box had so much food for only $7.95. The only thing I was disappointed in was the Seafood Dynamite. It did not taste fresh. It had a strong "imitation" flavor to it. Besides that, it was very difficult to eat with chopsticks. I thought I was going to get something similar to RA's Scallop Dynamite. Very different. I do not recommend this appetizer at all. The experience was nice. Staff eager to please. Food delicious. Restaurant clean. I will come back.

    Discovered this place on Yelp so checked it out a month ago with a friend. Since then, been back 3 times already. It's kind of unassuming given it's in the shopping mall and nothing outside seems to scream 'come on in' about it. I don't know if it's the best but I had others highly reviewed sushi joints and they were just ok. The attentiveness and customer service here is just right. Not bothersome but always there when I need something. Don't believe the owners are Japs but who cares when I can get a damn cold Asahi with good sashimi right?

  • Melissa S.

    Surprisingly good sushi! Sat at the sushi bar - friendly chefs and really great service. I was given a yummy cucumber/crab salad as an appetizer :) It was happy hour (4:30-7, 9-close). Prices were discounted $1-2, but even regular price wasn't bad (as a referenced, a Shrimp Tempura Roll is $6.95). Best deal was the $2.50 house hot sake!

  • Janice P.

    We come here often on Friday nights -- great people, very good service, perfect drinks, happy hour menu has variety and changes, no complaints at all after many visits. In addition, the place is divided up so that have three venues: a bar, a sushi bar, plus tables and booths. Bathrooms are spotless.

    (5)

  • Andrew P.

    Salmon nigiri... Simply the best! We are always treated like family even when they are busy. In fact, one of the owners shared his Mom's homemade Kim Chee with me. We don't need to ask for gluten free soy or Soju because the owners and staff simply remember.

    It was 7PM on a Sunday and the place was pretty empty. Our waitress made it very clear by her rudeness and hey body language that she did not want to be there so we didn't bother her too much. The other servers were awesome and the food was OK. The waitress (black haired girl named Carlee) never checked in on us and after we flagged her down to pay the bill she finally dragged herself over. We asked if we could get the bill split, and if not that's OK we could figure it out... She rolled her eyes and said "I'm not sure, I'll see what I can do". Then she came back with the split bill. This is no exaggeration, this is verbatim what she said: "Just to let you people know; it's standard protocol to ask the server to split your bill BEFORE you order!" We were speechless. One of our guys went to get the owner's number and while he was at the bar, Carlee came back and said unsolicitedly: "I don't have time for this and it's at the server's discretion." Once again, the place was empty. After a few other rude remarks from her, we left her 0 tip and felt badthat she ruined it for the other servers who were great. SO- if you go here, go to the BAR! AVOID CARLEE!

    Not horrible. That is actually a compliment from me when talking about a japanese restaurant. I eat sushi at least once a week and have tried almost every joint in the valley not to mention many around the country. I have eaten sushi in the sushi Mecca of the Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo. Bei isn't horrible just average leveling up there with stingray and Ra although less expensive. The sushi is Americanized but I appreciated their miso soup and gyoza. Not bad for a quick bite in south Scottsdale.

  • Kris J.

    Pretty nice place. Ordered: Edamame - excellent Tootsie roll - average Philly roll - good Miso soup - good As far as the sushi, I prefer Sake Bomber over on Broadway. But this place had a very engaging bartender. Unfortunately they close mid day for two hours, so we were rushed. Make sure you have plenty of time to eat if you go for lunch.

  • Jay L.

    Service was great for happy hour but the sashimi did not taste that fresh. It might have been because I was starving, but I felt sick eating the sushi. I love sashimi, sushi but tonight's didn't taste good. The rolls were over stuff with rice and very little sushi. Carlee was actually a fantastic host tonight. Maybe she was having a bad night the other night per another reviewer.

  • leah c.

    My boyfriend and I love sushi and having this place around the corner has been a blessing! It's not the most glamorous but what it lacks in looks it makes up for in quality and service. As I am not a seaweed person I always ask for soy paper and boy can they wrap it tightly! I know that's weird to gush about how they wrap it but it makes the difference when chopsticks can actually be useful. The staff are always so pleasant and make it a point to ensure you have everything you need. The monthly change to the happy hour food menu is nice because it forces you to try something new especially when on a budget. I'm usually a tough person to impress but this place has my wallet and taste buds wrapped in soy paper!

    We've been here twice and both times were extremely happy with the experience. Our first visit was actually on Christmas day. We don't really celebrate and wanted something non-traditional that wasn't going to be ridiculously expensive. When we saw on Facebook that this place was going to be open, we made sure to head on over. We got calamari and garlic, chili edamame to start. The edamame was amazing! By far the best I've had at a sushi joint. The calamari was ok. I liked that they used steaks instead of rings, but I really wasn't a fan of the batter. I would have preferred a tempura style, rather than the harsher, breadcrumb coating. I think it took away from the good piece of squid hiding underneath. But it was still good, and if you like calamari you'll like this. For rolls we got the Blazing Alaska Roll, the Vegas Roll and the Golden Philly Roll. All three were so incredibly good! The sashimi used was fresh and flavourful, and the wasabi aioli wasn't overpowering, which was my fear. I'd highly recommend any of the rolls we got. The second time we were there we went for lunch and got the roll combo (each of us). Two rolls and miso for $8.95 is a great deal! I know I got the spicy yellowtail with avocado instead of cucumber and eel and avocado. I don't remember what my partner got, but it was gone pretty quick, so it must have been good! Mine were great. I'm a huge fan of spicy yellow tail, especially if it's fresh. I'd definitely recommend going during happy hour or lunch, but their prices aren't ridiculous so you won't break the bank during dinner. We'll definitely be back! There are a bunch more rolls that we want to try. We're hoping that they're open on Christmas again next year. (hint hint!)

  • Vern G.

    I was really hoping this could be my new sushi haunt--my old favorite was also right next to a Fascinations so I thought that was a good sign. However, I was underwhelmed by the food here. I felt like there was too much cucumber in the spicy tuna, and the rolls with crab in them were too creamy. I think they had too much mayo in them. I'm sure a dismayed chef might say, "they didn't even have mayo in them!" But that's just my guess. Something was off about them. They weren't terrible, but not great either. The food had a really good presentation; it was just not very flavorful. They also forgot to bring out one of the items I ordered, which would have been far more forgivable if the food was good. I'll continue my search for an excellent sushi restaurant in the East Valley. In sum, I give this restaurant a rating of "meh."

  • Nati K.

    Amazing. Started with the miso soup and house salad. Also chose the chili garlic edamame as an appetizer. For our sushi roll, we selected the Desert Sunset Roll- (Shrimp Tempura, Crab Mix, and Cucumber, topped with Yellowtail, Avocado, and Ponzu Aioli). Incredible. The highlight of the meal had to be the Spicy Crispy Chicken. Phenomenal. If you're looking for a laid-back, casual spot with fantastic food, Bei will not disappoint!

  • Michelle L.

    Tried Bei tonight for the first time with the hubby and it was super yummy! To quote our dinner conversation- "I think we've found a gem!" Happy hour every day, with specials on drinks, apps and rolls. Nice presentation for the food, large portions- enough to take home a doggy bag, and good prices. Will be back! :)

  • Leilani G.

    I had the chance to enjoy their Happy Hour last Saturday. Since they just opened they were pretty empty, but I feel with the quality of food they serve that will not last for long. We ate the spring rolls, salmon sushi, the Las Vegas Roll, and the assorted sashimi. The all the items we delicious and fresh. I was very impressed by the size of the roll and it wasn't overly cream cheesy. Cannot wait to come back to try more items.

    (5)

  • Kaytie J.

    Fantastic little spot! Doesn't look like much from the outside, but what a gem! We went during happy hour and feasted on delicious rolls at very fair prices! Fresh fish, delicious combinations, wonderful service!

  • Fares A.

    Coming in, we were greeted and felt welcomed. The waiter wasn't very helpful in choosing our meal and giving us options. We started with eating the miso soup, unfortunately that was cold and salty. The sushi was alright, nothing special. And main course which consisted of thinly sliced beef was alright too. Nothing that would make me come back honestly. And the waiters seemed like they were in a hurry all the time.

  • Dominique G.

    Went here before going to old town with some friends... I had the Nebraska Roll and let me just say, probably some of the best sushi I have had! I also had the egg rolls for an appetizer and those were pretty great too. It is a pretty casual laid back atmosphere. Wait staff was good. Will definitely be visiting in the near future!

    (5)

  • Ed M.

    I have ate here twice and I have NO complaints. The service starts as soon as you walk through the front door, as it should. After being greeted and thanked for coming in, we are ushered to our seats. The menu has everything you could imagine! Bento boxes, fresh Maki rolls, and every kind of Nigiri conceivable. We ordered the Sweet Potato Roll, the Nebraska roll, Tuna/Salmon/Yellowtail Nigiri, and a Vegas roll. The prices are the only thing that can beat how FAST the food came out. Within ordering, we had our food, all four rolls, at our ready. I will be coming back here again and again and again!

  • Soo Jin M.

    We had the crab stuffed mushrooms which were very different from what I'd imagined. Its basically a large ball of crab with a little mushroom on it (think crab ball with hat) covered in panko and fried. Sounds weird, but its actually pretty dang good. Its a little tricky to eat but I'd definitely recommend trying it if you like crab. We also had the spicy salmon, spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, and one that I don't remember the name of.. They were decent, slightly too much rice and slightly off in the slicing but priced very right even without a special. If you're in the mood for sushi in a bistro type environment versus a club and don't want to be reamed on pricing I would highly recommend this place!

    I came here with lunch with 6 people. I got the California roll and the shrimp Tamera roll * I might be misspelling that*. The miso soup was amazing and the sushi was fresh and tasty. The waitress was really nice and patience. I will be coming back often , I wish I would have known this was here before now. I love this place, someone needs to do their marketing and get their name out there. So thankful I found them on Yelp. We are even making plans on coming back today with 12 people! :) Thanks Yelp for helping me find my new favorite sushi place

  • Zika V.

    I want to give a 4.5 rating. Overall we had a great experience here. It's truly a "hidden" gem in south Scottsdale. Don't let the exterior of this place change your minds, the inside is *much* better. It has a nice environment, super clean (floors, tables, booths, etc) it has a "Zen" type of feel. Love that they have the free miso soup if you check in here and it was tasty :) ANd awesome choices on the menu for Happy Hour which they have EVERy DAY till 7pm!!!! we ordered a mixed Tempura as an appetizer which was one of our best tempuras we've ever tried. We also ordered the Vegas Roll and forgot the name of the other one. Both of them were delicious! And very filling ;) The server was great explaining the menu and she was super friendly, the only not so good thing was that whoever delivered our main sushi rolls delivered first my husbands and 10 minutes later mine. But didn't care much because I already had some miso and tempura ;) I've been spreading the word about this awesome place, You Should check it out!!!

    Ok. Not bad. Nothing exciting. The rolls are very small and basic. The chiefs hi bowl was decent with a good amount of rice. Satisfied my craving for sushi in general but won't be craving this place specifically.

  • Wei Y.

    Bei is a hidden gem in a strip mall that doesn't seem special. I've during a happy hours for a few time, and they don't disappoint. Their specialty rolls are great, especially the volcano roll w/ fried scallop. their nigiris are good, but not exceptional. Bei is a good sushi joint with good value. Take your bae to Bei, it won't disappoint!

  • Nikole R.

    Decent overall. Super friendly and attentive service. Ramen was just okay...broth not very flavorful so I asked for a side of Sriracha to give it a flavor boost. Sushi was decent too. Nice environment and convenient.

  • Leslie G.

    Great sushi happy hour! Awesome miso soup! I loved the volcano roll OMG! It was too die for! Edamame only $1.95, sushi for $3.50 & rolls are $5.95-9.95. Want beer? Stella's for $3.95, large Japanese beers like Kirin for $4.95! Friendly staff, great tunes - they're bumping some fun music & have live music on Thursdays! I'd like to see more sushi & rolls on the Happy Hour menu, but overall a great find close to home!

  • Aarize D.

    I was with a handful of women when I went to Scottsdale, AZ for a Women's Empowerment retreat and we have a day to ourselves before the shenanigans happen. So my friend was planning to meet up with her cousin who lives in Tempe.. so I asked her to if I could tag along and they were cool with it. They (cousin and the fiance) picked us up from our hotel and headed out to Bei. Atmosphere/Ambiance: I like the atmosphere here because it was not your regular quiet sushi place.. it was more like a sushi restaurant + sports bar with bunch of TV's + live bands on certain days type of combination. There wasn't any live bands when we went but they were playing good music. Food: - Love Hurts Roll (Crab Mix, Avocado, Topped with Baked White Fish with Spicy Aioli, and Eel Sauce, Scallions, Sriracha): really good spiciness from the Spicy Aoili & Sriracha, the White Fish portion was decent and the sushi didn't fall apart after a bite. - Chicken Teriyaki entree (Chicken teriyaki, steamed rice, vegetable tempura, miso soup, house salad): it was more like a Chicken Teriyaki sizzling plate! I wished they wrote that it's a sizzling plate entree than a regular entree.. but regardless it was good portion... I enjoyed my vegetable tempura the most. Service: Our server was pretty attentive to us since even though it was getting a bit busy by the time we ordered our food. In the end, it was a great place that my friends cousin had picked and I can see myself coming back here in the future. It seemed like a great place for Happy hour shenanigans too.

  • Victoria J.

    The food was awesome but the service sucks. We went there today to get a sashimi and 2 hand rolls. It wasn't a busy Monday and it took 30 mins to serve the sashimi. Really?! We thought they probably went fishing in the fish tank and can't get the fish out. Then we waited 15 mins for the salmon skin hand roll. Then we noticed that only few people left eating, so we decided to order another 2 spicy tuna hand roll and the 2 nigiri, we thought maybe this time it will come out faster but it took another 25 mins for the spicy tuna hand roll and another 15 mins for the nigiri. Seriously!? Our order was not that complicated and you don't have boil it or cook it for that long. Over all the service was so bad but the food taste good.

    This was my first time trying this restaurant. Owner and staff were very friendly and welcoming. Food was excellent! For starters we ordered seasoned edamame and fried dumplings, followed by volcano rolls, spicy salmon rolls, a teriyaki chicken bowl and a set of vegetarian rolls. Everything was delectable. My personal favorite - volcano rolls! Will definitely come back for more!

  • Sargis N.

    I had the best experience at this place. I was at my scottsdale home and saw this pop up on Yelp and I love sushi just scared of trying new places. I took 10 of my friends that were in town and we spent about 200$ here It amazing and the workers were funny and having fun serving us cracking jokes and stuff. The sushi was good the seating was good and it was fast. Literally we were in and out with no hassle. Just a great job. I don't get why their is bad reviews for family owned places. Show this place some support and go in and try their sushi! Wish I could give them more than just 5 stars lol.

    I hadn't been to Bei for quite some time, but decided to stop by the other day to satisfy my craving for sushi. I got there just in time to order from the lunch menu before the kitchen closed until dinner. (The restaurant closes each day at 2:30, and reopens at 4:30) It was just a few minutes past 2:00, but my server was helpful enough to let me know that it was last call for lunch orders, and when the kitchen closed, that was it, and she wanted to be sure I got in under the wire. I made a quick decision to have the Sushi Combo, which was miso soup, tuna, salmon, yellowtail and shrimp nigiri, and a California roll or Spicy Tuna roll - which looked like a good deal at $9.50. For my roll, I wanted to have a spicy tuna hand roll instead of the standard roll. The server said that was no problem. I also asked it she could be sure it was spicy, and she indicated again, no problem. My miso soup arrived within moments. It was pretty basic, but met my needs. My sushi also arrived quickly. The fish tasted fresh, and even the shrimp, which I am not generally a big fan of, was good. My spicy tuna hand roll started off ok, although I could see, and taste with my first bite that siracha had been used to supply the heat. I don't have an objection to siracha, but in most spicy tuna I have historically had, the heat has been supplied by chili oil, which adds heat without the tuna flavor being drowned out as it was with the siracha in this case. By the time I got 1/2 way into my hand roll, all I could taste was siracha. I had to drizzle a bit of soy sauce with wasabi into the roll to offset the overwhelming siracha taste with a different and less sweet element. I know the next time to request that siracha be kept to a minimum, and that chili oil be used for heat. I believe Bei will be able to accommodate that request. On this visit, everything happened so fast that I was finished with my lunch in about 15 minutes. My server assured me that I could take my time, and that only the food order was time sensitive, but since I was finished, I requested my check anyway. It was a pretty quick lunch - in and out in 20 minutes! Still, I will be going back again soon. The service was great, and Bei is accommodating. I'll bet they can prepare me exactly the spicy tuna roll that I want! Also, my prior meal with them was excellent. For the money, my lunch was a great deal! Next time, the Sashimi Combo!

    My boyfriend and I went here for the first time over this past weekend. It was great sushi and great service! The prices are fare, and the quality of the fish is good. The restaurant itself is small and casual. We shared a golden philly roll and I think it may have been the best sushi I've ever tried. We will definitely be coming back here again :)

    I was here for happy hour recently and was impressed. It's a bright modern look with plenty of windows and TVs all around. The happy hour prices were very good. I enjoyed the gyoza, Las Veags roll and Volcano roll in particular. I'd definitely come back again.

    Favorite low key sushi place in Scottsdale. Never had a bad experience. Get the teriyaki salmon entree. Once you get that you have trouble ordering anything else.

    Who would've guessed that the name of this restaurant, Bei (ç±³), can be translated as "America" or "rice"? As it turns out, this is quite fitting since they serve very Americanized sushi rolls. If you're looking for gourmet specialty sushi rolls with high-end ingredients, Bei is not for you. However, if you want really awesome happy hour prices and don't mind imitation crab and you're a big fan of California rolls, then Bei has you covered! We tried the Alaska Roll ($6.50) made with fresh salmon, crab mix, and avocado; the Volcano Roll ($9.95) which is a California Roll topped with a baked fish, crab mix, spicy alioli, eel sauce, and scallions; and the Philly Roll ($6.5) made with fresh salmon, cream cheese, and avocado. The rolls that we sampled were good, but as another reviewer mentioned, the California roll is over-represented on the menu as a base for the majority of the rolls. This is a shame because the the true freshness and deliciousness of the tuna and salmon were overpowered by the imitation crab mix. Next time, I will stick to the sashimi and specialty sashimi entrees because I think that is where Bei really shines when it comes to their sushi offerings. I look forward to returning to try the Korean BBQ, Ramen Noodles, and Noodle combos. Also, I appreciate that Bei offers some more interesting sushi options for vegetarians as well. I've never seen a sweet potato roll on a sushi menu before, but it sounds delicious!

    Definitely liked this place after trying it for the first time the other day, I would definitely suggest going during their happy hour because their rolls are much cheaper, also their happy hour menu changes each month, so it's always something new! I made sure I checked in to get the free miso soup...score! This place is surprisingly much bigger on the inside than I was expecting. They have somewhat of a segregated bar area, booths, and sushi bar seating. We ordered the Alaskan roll, the Nebraska roll, Philadelphia roll and spicy salmon roll. The only one I wasn't really pleased with was the Nebraska roll because I felt it was somewhat over seasoned and soggy. I really liked the fresh rolls though! The Philadelphia had big chunks of meat in each piece (unlike some restaurants I've experienced out in AZ). The salmon was very fresh and we got a lot of it. I read about some of the 12-15 dollar rolls, they sound delicious! But I just can't bring myself to pay that. I am cheap. Hahahaa We did get to watch some drama unfold between a server and one of the new sushi chefs. So free entertainment while we ate. I'm definitely coming back though!

    Everything about this place reminded me of a small, modern sushi joint you would only find on the West Coast (Seattle, Portland or San Francisco). Loved the service, but the sushi was as fresh as you'll find to top things off. This place is a hit for sushi lovers.

    Bei is a cute little Asian fusion spot on the border of Scottsdale and Tempe. They serve up everything from sushi, Korean bulgogi, ramen, and other noodle plates. I came here on a Friday night and the place was popping. We had to wait couple of minutes for my seat with some of my mates which is fine. The place itself is decked out pretty hip and fun. We ordered some food off the happy hour to start; edamame, Spicy Tuna, Volcano, and California. Needless to say it wasn't anything special to start with. Then again it was just starters, but in the end we didn't think it was something we couldn't get anywhere else. We moved on with some entrees. My mate ordered the Sashimi platter while I shot for the Goshujang Pork; a spicy marinated pork dish with white rice as a side. It did come along with some tempura vegetables and a miso soup. In the end, it was a lot of bang for your bucks I tell ya! The entree definitely needed some texture since it was a mesh of tender pork, onions, and some scallions on a sizzling hot plate as a came straight out of the kitchen! Overall, the food here is pretty good, but again nothing too special. The place seems pretty cool for a quick happy hour bite and drink. The service was pretty slow in my opinion since we had to wait for our edamame twice! - Enjoy!

    Second visit today, first was for lunch and while I don't recall what the menu name was it was a combo teriyaki dish. Today was a happy hour stop, rolls were good (I had the yellowfin), restaurant was clean and well/run staffed, prices were fair and I like that there's separation between the bar area and the dining area which seemed popular with groups/families and those that wanted a sit down dinner.

  • Jasmine C.

    I was impressed. Went with my daughter for dinner on a Friday night. Got seated right away and we ordered everything that sounded good - California rolls, Spicy Salmon Roll, Fried Tofu appetizer, Bulgoki beef, miso soup... Everything was delicious except the Bulgoki beef. Didn't like the texture or flavor at all. Told the waiter and he was so great about taking it back and removing it from our bill. Will come back!

    BEST SUSHI IN ALL OF PHOENIX/SCOTTSDALE!!!!!! Tried many places all over the area, none top this. Service was amazing, sushi was amazing and came out so quickly! I can't believe it's taken 5 years for is to find this place. Will definitely be back soon!

    This is THE best sushi I've ever had. They have very very generous portions, and great prices. The octopus is delicious. But my favorite of the night was the scallop roll. The service was good, it was pretty dead in there when we came in and we got attended to very quickly. Even when the place started getting busy our server Gary was excellent. Will definitely be coming here again, hopefully sooner than later.

    Extremely unpleasant experience. AVOID. After reading the reviews about this place I thought it was worth a shot. The sushi was basic at best. Ordered the Alaskan role as the server had recommended it, needless to say it was not good. The spicy tuna tasted fishy and the roll was just not good to the taste. Upon sending it back the restaurant owner JT came over to ask me about why I didn't like it. I politely responded with what I thought and left it at that. He then proceeded to ask me if I had ever been to his restaurant and explained that all spicy tuna recipes are different. I told him that was fine and said I didn't like it. A few moments later he returned to our table to continue on about spicy tuna recipes and how many people order that role and never complain. I couldn't believe this fellow was arguing with me about a roll. When the bill arrived I asked the server about the charge - I didn't care about the cost, but the principal. JT came over and explained that his restaurant policy is that if you order it you pay for it. This roll was recommended by the server, and I explained that when something doesn't taste good most restaurant owners would encourage guests to say something. He argued with me so much so that I had to tell him that he was being quite rude and I asked that he please run my card five times. He made a huge scene and would not stop talking about his policy. I would never recommend someone come here - Heaven forbid the food is terrible, management doesn't care because you ordered it and it isn't their fault. Buyer beware. Avoid this place.

    The service was fine. They have very attentive servers. And I find that the quality of the sushi was well made. Ordered the Philly roll during happy hour and was not disappointed. I'll have to try the other rolls as well. Check in for a free miso soup! :)

    While visiting the greater Phoenix area for a work trip, we decided to see what all the hype was about at the Bei sushi bar in Scottsdale. Chalk one up for the away team for a great choice! First of all, the atmosphere was super cool. You know how a lot of sushi places are like super quiet (almost library quiet)? Well, think cool sports bar, meets hip sushi restaurant, meets fun weeknight hangout with friends, and that would sum it up. There were lots of tv's to watch sports, nice bar area and a comfortable dining area. Service was very friendly and quick, and the sushi cooks were as fast as ninjas! Now, let's get to the best part: the sushi. We had the Vegas roll, Crazy Alaska roll, Tuna Lover and one other which I can't remember the name. All the fish was very fresh and bursting with flavor. Usually when I go for sushi, I get a bit tired of at least one of the rolls that I order. Tonight was an exception to that. The last bite was just as delicious as the first, and we even considered ordering a few rolls to-go. Overall, this was a solid experience and I would definitely return. Thanks Bei!

    Seaweed salad and mackerel nigiri were fantastic. Salmon nigiri was not the best cut of fish. Ponzu sauce was some of the best I've had in a while. Would definitely come back next time I'm in town.

    Decided to try Bei for lunch during the work week since my co-worker was craving noodles so I suggested we go to Bei since she hadn't been yet and it wasn't far from work. The place wasn't busy (maybe 5 tables of people sitting) and once we sat we looked at the lunch specials. My girlfriend had the 1 Noodle and 1 Rice bowl special. I had the Mixed Tempura Box. Ok we were SHOCKED at how much food came out for that price!!!! Mine came with a salad, CA roll (4 pc), mixed tempura w/veggies and shrimp, and rice and it was huge! I didn't even touch the rice, CA roll or finish all the veggies and I am stuffed. Her's came out and the Udon noodles bowl was HUGE (dinner size portion) with veggie tempura AND a rice pork bowl (dinner size portion). We were so full by the time we left. Here's was $12.95 and mine was $7.95. You cannont beat that. Someone could easily split one dish for two people. Service was also great like always.

    SAKE BOMBS to celebrate RnR AZ Marathon Finishers and SEAHAWKS NFC CHAMPS!!! Monkey do: SALMON KAMA- cooked perfectly BULGOGI- a little on the salty side, but still okay. Rice & tempura helped. Great service, good food and plenty seating at bar, booths or tables for larger parties.

    I love Bei. It's a friendly neighborhood bar and sushi restaurant, and the owners/staff will make your experience a great one. They are fun, friendly and will encourage you to join in on some late night karaoke as well as give you recommendations of their favorite options on the menu. They have every kind of seating imaginable (I love having those options), TVs (and will change the channel if you ask nicely), live music (on the weekends) and Happy Hour specials! My boyfriend and I ordered a bottle of sake there, and it came in a really cool ice bucket which made us happy. Get the stuffed mushrooms and thank me later. Oh yeah, and for Vegans they have Vegan options! : ) Head over to Bei, and have a good time. You won't be disappointed.

    Been craving sushi all week and after a 9 hour day on my feet I needed it. I've seen this place before and we finally took the plunge!! So worth it! We were seated right away and had great customer service. The tuna lovers roll is the shiz and I would come back just for that! Happy hour options are also bomb dot com.

  • Leslie M.

    I decided to head down here since I was in the area and I had a sushi craving at 9pm. The place was not hard to find and there was plenty of parking. We walk in and it was not what I expected - picture a bar type atmosphere, dark, and not very classy - but it's cool, I wasn't looking for a five star restaurant anyway. There were two big groups of people seated at the bar loud as hell - maybe they were drunk or maybe they were just happy since it was a Saturday night, but I didn't mind much. The restaurant had a late night happy hour. We ordered the shrimp dynamite roll and Nebraska roll. Both were good, but the rolls tasted pretty similar to each other. The check came to $25. The service was quick, easy and painless.

    They're inching on "meh" territory now... Took a friend and shared my praise for Bei. We had overly bland service (I'm sorry, were we keeping you from something honey) which turned into bizarre service. As we were down to merely nibbling on food, my dining mate ordered another cocktail. Apparently we were expected to chug the drinks, pay, and then get the f outta there in 3 minutes. Because as we continued to talk, every little item on our table was meticulously rearranged, talked about, and eventually removed. Hours before they were to close, and with plenty of other folks in the restaurant (it was maybe 8:45), we both had to move around the waiters coming to take the condiments off the table, as if they were cleaning up and we had clearly overstayed our welcome. If we hadn't just ordered drinks (cost money and can't be taken as to-go drinks of course), or it was late and near closing time, or if the place was packed, we'd have absolutely left. But then, we also wouldn't have ordered more drinks. Altogether, I was embarrassed to have recommended this place for so long, when it left a majorly bitter taste in our mouths. Ra may be corporate but at least they aren't dicks.

    Glad to be back to AZ and craving some sushi. Once my father told me "if you want fresh fish, eat at the coast, you won't find fresh fish in the desert" I guess times have changed. The place looks nice, on a strip mall, the ambiance is kind of cold, seamed to me like of a old breakfast place. I sat at the bar that is oddly positioned at the entrance and at first smelled a bit like floor cleaner The warmth of the place is on the service, fast friendly and with a smile. My beer was cold, off to a good start. Menu offers some different spins on the traditional and great variety of dishes without being overwhelming. I ordered some salon sashimi and a couple of different sushi. I was a bit disappointed even though the quality and fat of the fish seemed good it had a slight "fridge" taste. May be the way the store it is not the beast? I don't know nevertheless killed my will to come again Safe yelping

  • Alli D.

    I've had my fair share of sushi from an arrange of place, but Bei takes the win! Philly rolls are one of my favorite and theirs was so smokey & creamy! Our server was very nice, attentive, and makes one of the best margaritas I've ever had as well. I've never had a marg with sushi before. This was turning a new leaf for me, I can't wait to come back!

    Don't let the location fool you! This spot is awesome from the service to the food! We were in Phoenix for several days on business but made it into a leisure trip at the end. This was the 1st restaurant we went to after finding it here on Yelp. We're sushi snobs (from S.F.) so we were skeptical. But, for what it is, it's great. This is not high end sushi by any means but it's priced right and the venue is casual. We enjoyed our nigori sake with a chefs choice sashimi plate. All of the fish tasted fresh and was tender. We'd come again, for sure!

  • Miranda S.

    I thought I had already found the best sushi in Scottsdale...I thought wrong! My boyfriend and I were seated right away. However, we were quickly forgotten...after 15 minutes we were able to flag down a waiter and get our drink and food orders in. Less than 15 minutes later, our order was brought out and it was absolutely delicious! The sushi was like fish candy to me (the way it should be). We got the California roll (happy hour priced, love that), shrimp tempura roll and calamari roll. When we got our check, our waiter had given us a discount because of our wait, which we appreciated. I'll be bringing my family here in the near future!

  • Rob C.

    We came to Bei because we always drive by it and wanted to check it out. It was a late lunch and there was no rush. We were immediately seated and got our drinks. Had the chicken teriyaki bento box and bolgogi bowl. Both were enough food for us and we had no left overs. The service wasn't mind blowing but they checked in a handful of times- they seemed like they needed a bit of an energy burst. Nonetheless, the price point was awesome! We will definitely be coming back.

  • Megan W.

    I've been waiting to write Bei a review!!! Bei is one of my favorite Sushi spots in Scottsdale. It's not right in old town which eliminates insane wait times but is equally as delicious if not better. They have a great happy hour and a HUGE menu. From speciality rolls to noodle dishes and fried rice, you aren't limited to eating sushi if you are craving some other type of Asian dish. We love the Las Vegas Roll, Nebraska roll and the Spicy Chicken Noodle Dish. The staff is typically super great, quick and happy to have you as a customer. I agree with the other reviews, the actual restaurant isn't fancy and it's located in a plaza on Scottsdale Rd. but you absolutely wont' regret visiting!

    They have a pretty great happy hour. An amazing deal was their small bottle of peach saki on happy hour. It was surprisingly great tasting and not too sweet. Just trust me and order it! We ordered the Salmon Kama appetizer, the Bei stuffed mushroom appetizer, and quite a few rolls. Both appetizers were plentiful and very good!

  • Kelly H.

    I am very happy that we have a decent and reasonably priced sushi joint in Scottsdale as an alternative to some of the more expensive yet mediocre options in Old Town. Bei is in a very unimpressive strip mall, yet delivers some good eats in a humble setting (read: not much ambiance). I've had enough good and bad sushi to know that "atmosphere" rarely speaks to the quality of fish or talent of the sushi chef. And I like that this is much more laid back and casual than its neighbors to the north. Happy Hour is definitely a bargain with a fairly large window from 4-7pm every day and 9pm to close. The sushi choices on discount are plentiful, though the beverage choices could stand a few more options. I like a good Kirin from time to time, but I really wish they had just one or two craft beer choices or perhaps a decent wine option. I do wish I could rave about the food as many 1-time visitors have, but I'm not quite there yet. The basic rolls and appetizers are done really well. The spicy tuna/salmon are delicious and we loved the calamari appetizer (though please come up with a better sauce than mayo). Basics are awesome, but I'm always looking for some creative specialty rolls that are decently priced and play on great flavors. The specialty roll selection here is a bit unimpressive. A significant portion of them include "crab mix," "spicy crab," or a California roll toped with "xyz" - which we all know is menu-speak for imitation fish + more mayo - and it tastes like it even with quality fish added into/on top of the rolls. The actual fish they serve is wonderful, but why serve so much of it with mock-fish? It's overpowering and distracts from what coule be some very delicious sushi. The service was attentive and friendly from both the bar and table perspectives. I will definitely return to Bei and stick with the basic rolls and sashimi for as much Happy Hour love as I can, but I'm hopeful they'll peel away from a the overabundance of crab mix in favor of the lovely fish they serve.

    My hubby and I moved back to the East Valley after a two year stint in the northwest valley where we were totally obsessed with Yen Sushi at 43rd Ave and Bell. We have been searching for a place to fill Yen's shoes ever since we moved back. We have found our new go-to sushi place. Thank you Bei! The cucumber salad was vinegar-y and delicious and the free check-in miso soup was nicely salty sprinkled with the crunch of scallions. We ordered the Bei roll which was such a pleasant surprise. Every piece of roll was a new adventure because they all have different fish toppings. They have a lot of selections for happy hour rolls as well as drinks . One suggestion: add Sapporo to the happy hour beer selections. Why Kirin and not Sapporo?

  • Rich Y.

    Charsiu ramen and bulgogi at the same time?! You got it, Bei. I like these combination places that don't bleed flavors from one cuisine to the other. Bei does it correctly. My ramen was distinctly ramen and the bulgogi for the table was properly marinated and sliced. At some other places that don't do it correctly, any sliced and marinated beef could be teriyaki or bulgogi or beef and broccoli. The table behind mine had a great time with their rolls and you can tell from the other reviews that sushi is a hit here. I think Bei is a well-rounded option for Korean and Japanese food if you or your party can't decide on just one genre. Rich's recommendation: come with friends and order to share. It's rare that you can get good Korean and Japanese food in one spot.

    3.5 stars The husband and I went for Christmas dinner because we had cooked up a storm for our Christmas Eve feast with our sister & brother in law. It was just the two of us and we were both craving sushi. The rolls are on the pricier side but they were pretty good. The fish wasn't the freshest but overall was decent. The service was a bit slow considering there weren't that many tables.

    A more than decent place to grab some sushi on the cheap. The tempura jalepeño appetizer was our favorite. The Las Vegas and Tuna Lover rolls were both delicious, and service was quick and efficient. I would definitely return when visiting the Scottsdale area.

  • Douglas P.

    The wonderful reviews of Bei were all of a sudden verified when we walked through the doors to multiple staff members looking up from what they were doing to smile and greet us. Our server, Manami, was so friendly! After we had narrowed down our selections to the Arizona and Volcano rolls, she suggested the Checkerboard Roll, which was the piece de resistance of the evening! The combination of the tuna, Escolar, shrimp tempura, and wasabi aioli was absolutely delicious and I look forward to having it again soon. Thank you for the great service and delicious food!

    Their sweet potato roll is hands down my favorite roll EVER! I'm not a vegetarian but wow!!! This place is amazing! Ive tried just about every other sushi restaurant in Scottsdale and by far this place is the best!

    I am not a fan of sushi. So, I have no idea how good or bad their sushi is. Their chashu ramen though, is to die for. Clearly, the broth is made in-house and it's the star of the dish. Again, I am no ramen expert but I am usually slurping away to glory until the last drop. I also like their ramen portion. It's just right. I always feel guilty leaving behind so much ramen at other places. Of course, I wouldn't box up ramen. Sacrilege! Ask for their secret "red spice powder". Sprinkle (with caution) on top and slurp away!

    I've gone here three times recently to watch MLS soccer games that are subject to broadcast blackouts. The staff has been very friendly and remembered I was there to watch the soccer game even when customers who came in later wanted to watch other games and Chang even knows a thing or two about soccer. I've talked to him on my last two visits. There are about 10 TVs here so there are plenty to go around. The food here is good too. They know how to make good iced tea (i.e. not bitter), which by the way goes well with pickled ginger, and the sushi I've had here has been as good as any I've had here in the valley. My favorite so far is the sashimi salad, but I still have to make my way around the rest of the menu during the remainder of the MLS playoffs.

    First off the sign is very small. Maybe because of the name but the place is pretty big inside and clean. Got greeted immediately and was attended to for drinks and ordering. Got the free miso soup offer from yelp. Small bowl but really good. Ordered off the lunch special and got the tempura box and was completely full. Will need to go back for just the sushi to see if I can give more stars. Received a free California sushi card from our waiter which was nice. Ordered a beer which I was a bit expensive for $5 a bottle.

    (My Mobile Tip) Wow. These guys are seriously friendly! I have like 4 different menus to take back to work. I ordered the lunch special - Chicken Teriyaki Box - $7.25. You get a lot of food for the price you pay! The chicken teri was not overly sweet or breaded. The dumplings (goyza) or some may refer to this as potstickers, were steamed/pan fried. J would have loved them. I'm not really a big fan of potstickers. The sauce was not the traditional scallion dipping sauce, but a soy citrus sauce. Standard fare with the california roll and veg tempura. I will say that the tempura was not greasy, which was a good thing. And the house salad came with an awesome ginger dressing. When I got back to work and started eating at my desk, I had quite a few colleagues ask where I went and that it smelled fantastic. I'll have to admit, I did "stink" up the area. It smelled awesome! OH - I noticed that they have high chairs in their restaurant, so that tells me that the place is toddler friendly. Which for a mom, that is very important. Not always can you find a babysitter. I'm sure J, Little C, and I will stop by one evening for an early supper. :)

    I love bei. I go to bei at least twice a week. Tonight, however, I was very disappointed. I called at 10:35 and asked for two spicy tuna bowls to go. I always order these usually around 10:45. However, I was told by Chris that the kitchen had close only a couple minutes before and there was nothing he could do. I told him I've never had a problem. He said there was nothing he could do again very unsympathetic. As a loyal customer, who has never had this issue with such matter you can see why I am disappointed. I had to come to RA instead. I don't know but I don't think it takes very much to make a spicy tuna bowl seeing how the sushi rice is usually in stand by as well as the spicy tuna. So sad dunno when I will return.

    Great find. We were visiting from out of town and trying to find some good sushi. Happy we found Bei! Our food was really good- my husband especially enjoyed the Nevada roll. We also had really great service. Would definitely return.

    Went here for happy hour-good drink specials. Went with my Japanese friend, always a good idea in these places. Well, we both loved it. I had the spicy udon dish which was awesome. The noodle soup was also good. Sushi was good and fresh. The bartender was molasses in January slow, so wave your arms wildly and you WILL get her attention. They were actually very busy, mainly young couples and the mood was good. I will go again, try some more of that sushi!

    Ordered take out and they told me 15 minutes so I arrived on time but had to wait about 5 extra minutes which wasn't a big deal. I had two rolls both were fresh, they lacked a bit of flavor but nothing some soy sauce can't fix. Will be back.

    I went here for a quick lunch take out and got the Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box, so my review isn't about the sushi really. But it was really really good, and it was a ton of food and I was super impressed. It came with the chicken, rice, California roll (4 pc), gyoza (2 pc), vegetable tempura (sweet potato, zucchini, mushroom, onion), and a house salad with really good Asian dressing. All for $7.50! The chicken teriyaki was mixed with different vegetables and was good. The veggie tempura was probably my favorite. Even though I got it to go and it was at least 15 min to get back to the office and start eating, the tempura was still crispy and warm and was really good. I couldn't even finish everything. When I picked it up I was greeted right away and my food was ready in very quickly. The service was nice and I have no complaints. I will definitely be back!

    What a fun night out! Bei has a great sushi selection, and it was hard for me to choose! Eventually, I narrowed it down to the calamari roll, which was delicious. My mom, who had told me she wasn't a fan of sushi, even ate a few pieces of my roll. I also loved the coconut shrimp, which was served with a delicious spicy sauce. Service was lovely, and the tea was superb. I highly recommend stopping by Bei if you want some good Japanese food!

    Originally I was skeptical of this place because of the exterior appearance. However, I should not have judged this book by its cover. The service was exceptional. The sushi was fresh and delicious. The decor inside was very modern and clean. The only reason I did not give this a 5 star is because I have not had enough time to try more on the menu or let the chefs create their own off the menu plates. I will definitely return here.

    This place is simply fantastic. The sushi is excellent, service is top notch, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for good food in the Scottsdale area. We had numerous items including nearly all of the sashimi, both of their signature rolls, and some sampling a of nigiri. In addition, the staff allowed us a few samples of other things including a dessert rice pudding that is to die for. It's still early in the day, and what a great time to come in, no one is here so u get special attention! Can't say enough good things about this little joint and if I'm back in Phoenix, it will be a stop. Come in, have some sushi, and sit at the bar if u can, current bartender is a good conversationalist and pretty easy on the eyes.

    Service was ok, not very good but not terrible. The sushi was pretty good but I've had better. The decor and feeling of the restaurant is kind of shab and not too warm or welcoming. Pretty much an average experience with average food and normal sushi prices. Worth going if you're in the area and are craving sushi but there are definitely much better places with comprable pricing, i.e. sushi 101, sake bomber, kabuki, etc...

    I am happy to find this place. First because I know the owner from the past and he's a really cool guy. But I didn't know that he owns this place until I came in and devoured every sushi roll. haha. We came after Happy Hours so our bill was on the pricey side. But looks like happy hour menu is not bad, drinks are pretty good. I love the yogurt martini, Korean signature. :) Sushi was awesome. portion was very generous.High quality rice and fish, veggies were fresh. The ambience is great. it's a huge restaurant! you have separated sushi bar area, dinning area and sport area, at least that's how I felt anyways. I guess the only one thing I think Bei can improve is the hostess. The guy clearly didn't know what he was doing, I am sorry. He seems sort of frustrated even though the restaurant wasn't that packed when we got there. The bartender girl was nice, but obviously was irritated by the hostess, and that showed. Good restaurant, good food. Perfect for a Friday night get-together. :)

  • Kate B.

    Okay, I really like this place! It is about a mile away from my house, friendly service, and the food is great. Their happy hour can't be beat! My only gripe: I called in a take-out order last night and was told that orders were taking longer than usual and it would be a half hour. "No problem!" I said. I showed up almost exactly 30 minutes later, and I waited for at least another 20-30 minutes in the restaurant. I totally understand that it's a Friday night and things are busier than usual, but if that's the case week after week, plan for it! Hire a few more sushi chefs on the weekends to not keep so many people waiting. There were 4 other customers waiting for their to-go orders along with me. It was a bummer! Despite the long wait, I will go back (but dine in).

    Stopped in for lunch to try some place new. The restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated. We sat down and ordered off the lunch menu. Very good prices for all they had to offer. I ordered the sushi roll combo and my friend ordered the chicken teriyaki box. We really got a lot for what we paid for. I got 2 big sushi rolls and ended up taking 1 of the rolls home to go. The chicken teriyaki box was also very large with a variety of items. Service was very good and we will be back.

    A nice stop for lunch, with friendly staff and good food. I sat at the bar and order the lunch special which is reasonable prices and good portioned. Plenty of seating with good space. the rolls I ordered were fresh and flavorful, great selection of Japanese beer and wines to complement. Worth a stop if you have a sushi craving!

  • Michele W.

    I finally got to try Bei out this past weekend and had a great experience. We went on a Friday night and were greeted with a friendly welcome and got a table right away. We got an order of the spring rolls, I got the citrus ahi tuna sashimi, and my boyfriend got their chicken katsu bowl. The spring rolls and the bowl came out right away. The spring rolls were delicious. I'm usually not a fan of them, but these were crispy and had just the right amount of vegetables. It wasn't greasy or heavy. I tried the chicken katsu and it was really good too. Unfortunately, my ahi took some time to come out. However, it was definitely worth the wait. The tuna was super fresh and I loved the citrus ginger sauce on it and the avocados. I will definitely be back just for that! The prices are very reasonable and they also have lunch specials and happy hour. They have a pretty extensive menu so I'm sure there's something for everyone, even if you're not a fan of sushi.

  • Arizona T.

    Solid!! This is a pretty no frills place that isn't very fancy and for the most part could be a Denny's with Sushi but the Sushi is top notch. Really reasonable as well. Especially for happy hour. Things I loved: vegas rolls, spicy tuna, unagi, stuffed mushrooms Thing I probably wouldn't get again: gyoza, tootsie roll I think I've found my new favorite happy hour sushi place

  • Ursula D.

    First, let me confirm that this establishment has not 1, but 2 restrooms. One for ladies and one for men. A fellow Yelper and I exchanged messages about this before I went because that Yelper's review states that Bei does not have a restroom for customers. It does. The sign out front is for non-customers. I snapped a pic of the restroom sign as evidence for others reading reviews and considering this establishment----- because I almost bypassed this restaurant because of that Yelper's information. I hope this helps. Lately, I have been into Ramen and brothy soups in general. Miso, shrimp and pork ramen to be specific. Take a look at the picture of my Ramen yelp.com/biz_photos/bei-… and view the pic of the Ramen posted by Yelper Britt C. yelp.com/biz_photos/bei-… They look quite different. Mine had a few tiny pieces of meat, a limited amount of veggies and lacked adequate broth. I hated it! I can honestly say the 25 cent pack of ramen I made in college was better! The veggies tasted canned. I expected a nice piece of pork in the Ramen like the aforementioned picture by Britt C, but there were only a few flavorless tiny pieces. A well known improvisational restaurant, that has monthly ramen nights, down the street has ruined my palate to tolerate ramen any place else. I can not say how much I hated that dish! I ordered a spicy sushi roll that I split with a fellow Yelper. Decent roll. I would like to try the Bei roll one day. I went here with the international lunch group that I organize. Everyone else ordered a bento lunch box. They were all happy with their lunch and had a consensus 3 star meal. There were 6 of us, we were automatically charged a 20% gratuity. I don't know if this is normal for everyone or if that is the case for groups. It was not printed on the menu. It aggravated me, but alas wasn't a big deal. They should print that on their menu. 2 stars - I hated my dish. Because the location is cool for me for easy access to sushi in SoScott, but considering the proximity of other sushi restos that I like better: Return Factor: 15%, .

    The food is great here. Suggestion for to-go noodle soup: separate the noodle and the soup in a different containers. I ordered to-go once that the noodles are already in the soup, after I got home, the noodles are over cooked..as it been keep cooking itself in the hot soup. Hope this will improve. The rice bowls are nice with veggies. I don't like the wasabi here, it is kinda fake wasabi.

    I'm very selective about sushi since I'm from Hawaii, and this place exceeds my expectations. The fish is as fresh as you can get in AZ, the service is fast and friendly, and the prices are reasonable. The best part for me? It's the closest sushi place to my home. :) They have a great happy hour menu, as well as live music on select nights. Check in to Yelp for a free miso soup!

    I recently visited this restaurant and was exceptionally pleased by the experience. I am always looking for new places to enjoy sushi, and saw the reviews on here were nearly flawless. Obviously I had my doubts that this was clearly a manufactured coincidence so I had to do some investigating of my own. To my surprise though BEI justified it's reviews. I ordered yellow tail sashimi, very large and fresh pieces were presented elegantly within minutes of placing my order. Next the three rolls I ordered came out in a timely fashion. One at a time and almost as soon as I finished the previous roll. I've recently experienced a different situation at another local sushi restaurant where my food was brought out with absolutely no order. Dinner first then, last appetizers and when I ordered another roll it took about 30 minutes to arrive. The three rolls I ordered were the ASU, Tuna Lover and my new favorite roll The Checkerboard roll. The wasabi aioli sauce on top of the Checkerboard roll was to die for. I highly recommend it. Also as many other people have commented about and I feel must be address is the quality of service. Everyone was extremely nice, polite, and knowledgable. It's clear their employes love working there and when I asked how long they have been in business, accompanied with a large smile, I received a very confident and prideful response of 13 weeks today. I rarely frequent restaurants but this one is sure be see the likes of me in the near future Advice to you, Give this place a shot and what ever you do, try anything with their aioli sauce.

    Came here for my birthday dinner earlier this month since this place has almost 5 stars and figured it would surely be a great experience. There were 5 or 6 other parties dining in addition to my 2 person party (it was not a busy night by any means). It took almost 15 minutes for our waiter to even greet us. I mean it was to the point of getting really awkward and I almost walked back up the hostess to ask if we could please just get some water. Finally ordered some water and two mixed drinks. After nearly 10 more minutes, ONE of the mixed drinks arrived. Another 5 or 7 minutes go by and I ask our waiter if my drink is coming and he said 'oh yes it's on it's way'. I get my drink a few more minutes later (it only had 2 ingredients according to the menu) so I assume he forgot about it somehow. Then I ask if we can please get the waters also (at this point we had been there for more than 30 min). We ordered our food and it arrived in an appropriate amount of time. The sushi was good and the green tea tempura ice cream was good too. It's just such a shame that the service was so awful. We had at least 3 different waiters including, I think, a bus boy at one point who clearly didn't have experience waiting tables. What gave that away was when he stopped by our table and pointed at my drink and said "is that thing any good?" Just a really strange dining experience and the wait staff seem really lost and confused.

    Excellent Addition to SoDo! My boyfriend and I ate at Bei for the first time last night, and we were pleasantly surprised. We have been long time patrons on Sushi 101, but I believe Bei is equally as satisfying, if not better. The happy hour sushi menu is incredible. Their specialty rolls are the most reasonably priced sushi you will find at any happy hour. We ordered the Las Vegas roll, for just under $7, and it was phenomenal in appearance, size, and flavor! All of the rolls we ordered, including the basic spicy tuna roll, were very generously portioned, and I am not just talking about extra rice to make them appear larger. The fish was supplied in large quantities/cuts, and was fresh and flavorful. When we first entered the establishment, we were immediately greeted and ushered in by the owners/managers with warm smiles and great attitudes. Our waitress Brittany was equally enthusiastic and good-natured, providing suggestions and attention to our needs. I also ordered the house sake, which came in a smaller sized bottle, but still amounted to three shots, and for $2.50, I have no complaints! The sake was the perfect temperature and went down smoothly. They also offer sake bombs for $6.95 during all business hours, instead of limiting the special to happy hour. There was live music when happy hour ended at 7, but the ambiance was relaxing and the tunes weren't overbearing. I will definitely return to this establishment in the future, and recommend it to anyone looking for some great sushi in SoDo (SoSco? Or whatever they end up labeling Scottsdale south of Indian School...)! P.S. Our waitress pronounced it as 'Bay'

    Over priced sushi.Nothing special. The place is cute. I ordered the Asu roll and when I took a bite I immediately wanted to spit it back out. The Vegas roll was disproportionate and soggy. The spicy tuna roll tasted like every other place. Besides the music I couldn't find anything else I could enjoy.

    We are huge sushi and Japanese food lovers from California so we were a little nervous to try sushi during a recent trip to Scottsdale. We need not have worried. The sushi and the hot entrees were absolutely delicious! We were greeted by a smiling, friendly host and our waitress was kind, friendly and extremely fast and efficient. Best of all, the food was excellent. My husband's sushi was fresh and delicious, while my son's yakitori and tempura were also wonderful. I ordered the chicken terriyaki bowl and loved the sauce as well as all the fresh veggies that accompanied it. Overall we were very impressed and would go back the next time we are in Scottsdale - it has made it onto our favorites list for sure!

  • Aurora C.

    Came back for lunch with some coworkers. Food was good (I had the beef teriyaki bento box) but service was AWFUL. The waiter came to our table and awkwardly stood behind one of my friends. She turned around to let him know we were ready to order and his response "i know, that's why I'm standing here". At the end he just dropped all our checks on the table instead of handing each check to us. Also someone asked him to break a $5 and he said no. I've been here twice before and never had a problem with service. It was a disappointing experience as I do like the food.

  • George A.

    Honestly, my experience here was so quick & I didn't try anything except for a few basic rolls, but I like what I saw & ate, and based on that I'd definitely come back. Bei is probably the closest sushi place to my house & sushi is one of those things I don't eat often, but when I crave it, I CRAVE it. I wish this place had a website because I got takeout. I decided to just to stop in, order, and wait. The place itself was spacious & seemed nice enough to dine in at. Since I was trying this place for the first time I ordered three basic rolls as a "test." I got a CA roll, Philly roll & honestly I don't remember exactly what the third roll was except that it was a pretty basic shrimp tempura roll. The fish tasted fresh in all three. I was just testing this place for future reference, and it passed. I'd especially come back for Happy Hour. I believe it runs everyday (maybe not Sun?), and goes from 4:30-7:30. There are several rolls for under 3 bucks. There aren't a lot (any, really) sushi options in this area, which makes Bei even more appealing.

  • Travis B.

    our neighbors use to run Lao Thai, the restaurant that use to be here. they had one of the best asian fish dishes in the valley. Now this new place, BEI is here and i'm thinking "when did this happen"? i was VERY skeptical at first, especially when i saw so many yelp reviews with 5 stars, most from people with 1 friend/1 review or 66 friends/0 reviews. i appreciate elite reviewers for the most part and there weren't many. anyway, it was late and we didn't want a sit down dinner so i stopped by for a takeout order. the place was quite full on the wednesday before thanksgiving. the staff greeted me with open arms...very friendly. i was given a full menu and a sushi menu. the sushi menu is large and even has sashimi. i ordered a salmon and tuna sashimi. i thought both were very good...nice big cuts, fresh, and very smooth on the palate. also ordered a seafood udon soup dish. although the portion was large and overflowing with those delicious noodles, they were WAY skimpy on the seafood. one mussel, 2 shrimp, and about 5 baby scallops. for 10 bucks, i expected a bit more seafood because i know udon noodles are cheap. this brought the stars to 3 unfortunately. the rest of their menu looked good and apparently they have a great happy hour. when we go for a sit down and try something else, maybe i too will be on of the multiple 5 star reviewers.

    The worst sushi and sashimi and overall service I been to in AZ. Food is terrible. Trust me I am Asian and I know what good Asian cuisine is. Owner is very nice but that's it. Don't stop and keep driving. It's a waste of ur hard earned money.

    Took the family to lunch at Bei. Very disappointing experience after seeing all those 4/5 stars review. This is a typical Americanized Japanese restaurant. Sushi/regular dishes were nothing special. Perhaps my expectation was too high after reading the Yelp reviews. I was expecting much higher quality like Hiro Sushi. Service was so-so as well. Had to ask for things multiple times to get a response. Check came quickly enough though. I guess it's time for the server to take a break.

  • Preston C.

    I absolutely love sushi places So when I saw this one pop up I was anxious to try it After seeing the near perfect yelp reviews I was super excited and was anxious to see what I would think of it We went on a Friday evening and it wasn't very busy so it was good Upon arrival the staff was super friendly Greeting us as we walked in We were given a booth table to sit at and our server welcomed us We were given water and two great menus They have a ton of options for food and drinks It was happy hour when we got there and we notice that the items were super cheap, so of course we hit that up We got Two miso soup bowls The fried Calamari One California roll One tootsie roll One shrimp tempura The soup was nice and warm; it also had a lot of flavor The calamari was the best that I had ever had... Usually restaurants give you little fried rings and stuff but BEI gives you big long 3-4 inch pieces that are really, really good The sauce that comes with the calamari is great as well Both of the sushi rolls were very yummy and very fresh The rice on both rolls were sticky and the ingredients were good The shrimp tempura was really good too Our server was very attentive and knowledgable of the menu This isn't much of a bad opinion/con but the inside of Bei is kind of drab and could use some better interior decorations This didn't bug me at all since I know that it is a new place and I am sure once they get a bigger clientele and revenue that they will add some nice touches Just a hint that don't let the interior fool you, the food is great and the service is great I will be back BEI

    This is my review/what I wrote to the management (and they never responded) Hello Bei representative, Myself and my wife recently visited your restaurant and I am shocked and horrified to inform you of our experience. We were kindly and quickly greeted and seated and it was down hill immediately once our server took over. Our server, Cody, took approximately 10 minutes to arrive, greet us and take our drink order. His poor and careless attitude were immediately made clear to us. He took our drink order and vanished for an overly extended period of time. Eventually, another waiter noticed something was not right and came over to check on us and brought us our drinks. The waiter then went and found Cody, who then came over and took our food order with his poor attitude and rude demeanor. We were a little confused about the menu pricing so Cody informed us that "the management does not know what they are doing and won't change the menu to be clear to customers". That was a very disrespectful comment about his superiors (regardless of the situation) and quite shocking to us. Here is where things become horrific. From where we were seated, we could see inside the kitchen (behind the black curtain) and witnessed Cody sitting on the counter-tops and sneakily eating edamame where customer's food comes out. As we continued to watch, we learned that Cody was actually eating food off customer's plates before he would bring the dish to the customer's table. This is absolutely horrendous, disgusting and unacceptable so I decided to both photograph and film these acts. I was praying that he would have been filled with food by the time our food was prepared so he would not eat off of our plates. Cody did in fact eat off of our appetizer plate (edamame) and I was so upset that I decided not to confront anybody during our visit. We did not touch our appetizer and the entire experience was horrific. I am writing to tell you this now and I request that action be taken on this matter. Thanks in advance for your attention to this matter.

    Very tasty Japanese food for Arizona. The miso soup was too salty, but the Tuna Lover roll and Yakitori were good. Don't make the mistake of coming during peak hours. The Happy Hour is such a good deal you will be kicking yourself for not coming in earlier or waiting a little bit longer to eat and drink.

    I went to Bei yesterday with the family after a failed attempt at going to Totties (that is sort of another story, but some people had been waiting there over an hour.. yikes!). Anyway, My dad, stepmom, husband, and I arrived here at around 12:45 and it was fairly empty. My dad and I split the noodle and rice bowl combo (this thing is huge... like 2 full entrees) with the spicy chicken noodles and the spicy pork bowl and . The husband had the beef teriyaki bowl and my stepmom got the tempura bento box. The gyoza was pretty standard... like the frozen type, not awesome. The salad had a fairly good ginger dressing on it, but too much of it... like a pool at the bottom. I thought the spicy chicken noodles were very tasty, just the right balance of sweet and spicy on thick noodles with vegetables and chicken. The spicy pork was even better, it was spicy and had the right amount of sauce to rice ratio... I liked both very much. The rest of the food was fairly mediocre. Anyway, I would consider going back for the items I ordered, but probably wouldn't get the other items.

    UPDATE: I absolutely LOVE this place and have to admit I feel a little down writing about the last 2 experiences I've had, considering how I've become a die-hard regular. In hopes that you will not go through the same experience, I am writing this more as a warning. My boyfriend and I walked in there on a Saturday evening, we were greeted right away, as usual, by the kind Asian man, who we believe is the owner. We sat at our usual high-top table, and waited...waited... waited for about 7 minutes (very unusual) for our server to greet us and bring us menus. When we came over, we immediately realized it was the same waiter we had the last time we had a negative experience. With no enthusiasm he brought us menus and left. Didn't offer us a drink until the second time he came around. After he brought us our drinks he went about his runs, and forgot about us. Finally, he came back to our table and ASSUMED we wanted the sashimi combo and was about to run to put it in when we quickly told him we were trying new things. We put in an appetizer (Salmon Kama), and 4 other rolls. Everyone else brought us our food instead of our waiter. What ENRAGED me is that I saw him SMOKING OUT OF AN E-CIGARETTE PEN BY THE BAR!!!! Also, we NEVER got our appetizer. Apparently, the waiter never put it in seeing that the Asian man had to ask us what we ordered. When the Salmon Kama came out, it was DISGUSTING. My boyfriend said it tasted as if they microwaved leftover fish and put it on a plate with cabbage. I have to agree. Only the times we've gotten this server (whom I don't even know his name, Hispanic looking man, with lots of arm tattoos and spiky hair) have been the times we have had bad service, his tip showed how unsatisfied we were, I even wrote him a little comment. Hopefully this will make him fix his style of waitoring to prevent driving customers away. Aside those incidents, the place is still AMAZING. what separates BEI from the surrounding sushi restaurants is their fish. I am always searching for good-tasting sushi spots where you can actually distinguish the fish by taste not just by sight. their fish is excellent, and tastes super fresh. comparable to several upscale sushi restaurants in Miami. simply because of taste, I would choose this place over any of the chains in the Scottsdale area. their customer service is also impressive. everyone, including the owner, are extremely attentive and welcome you enthusiastically. they make sure to ask how your food tasted, and are open for suggestions. you can tell they're in the business because they love Japanese food and the art of sushi, not just to make money and turn it into a chain. the only thing "fishy" (no pun intended) is the area. its located in a shopping strip in south Scottsdale that looks a bit shady during the day, a reason why it took me a little longer to try the place out. I was a bit skeptical. inside is a different story. its very clean, well-maintained and you can tell they put in some work to remodel the place. their specials are amazing as well! they have a few of their specialty rolls as part of their specials and their portions are never skimped. you need to try the BLAZING ALASKA ROLL its definitely my favorite roll on their happy hour menu. if you're a sushi enthusiast, you MUST try this place. I guarantee it becomes one of your favorites

    This was the first time I came here and this place is very deceiving. From the outside it looks like a hole in a wall sushi joint but once you go in boom everything is modern. They have a bar area with TV's to watch the game and then a separate area for dine in. They have a great ambiance and every booth/ table is evenly placed to have the right intimate atmosphere. We came during happy hour and they have a ton of items on the happy hour menu. It ranges from beer, sake bombs, appetizers, nigiri sushi, and some specialty rolls. I extremely was surprised by their stuffed mushroom. It was to die for!!! I loved it so much I had to order it twice. The service was very pleasant. Our waiter was very nice and had a great sense of humor. They made sure my drink never hit the bottom and was very honest with their recommendation on items. Only reason I didn't give it a full 5 star is because I didn't try any nigiri. It's very important to have fresh fish. Next time i go back I will try it but for now 4 star it is!

    One of the best sushi places in the area. Really tasty! I have only tried sushi that was part or fully cooked though, so I can't speak for the raw stuff. Nice atmosphere and the service was great.

    I travel to Scottsdale frequently for work and I've had some decent sushi in the area but nothing has come close to Bei sushi. It's definitely comparable to some of the best places that I've been to in NYC. I'm going to give it 5 stars because the food and drinks we're amazing. However, the managers we're too much. They asked me how my food was and I hadn't even had to time take a bite. I can tell they are concerned being a new restaurant but come guys... it makes you look desperate and it seems like people in Scottsdale simply aren't into that. By the time I had my 2nd piece of sushi 3 people had asked me if "everything was alright". What's up with the yelling at everyone when they come in? Please stop. Not sure if I'll return again next time I visit just because I felt a tad uncomfortable but I'll definitely consider it. The sojo drinks we're amazing too. I had two different versions of their Soju cocktails. Aloe and Yogurt. I saw other drinks on their menu and I must say, as a new yorker even, they know what they are doing at the bar. The bartender was also really funny and recommended some fun things to do in the area.

  • John S.

    If you don't eat a lot of sushi then the place is good. But if you can identify quality sushi, this is not the place for you. The venue itself is good, but based on reviews by other people the sushi was a disappointment.

    (2)

  • Jackie B.

    I am a happy hour junkie and this is probably my favorite place to go. There are so many delicious things to chose from on their happy hour menu! Their Bei stuffed mushrooms and the Las Vegas roll are my favorite. I also loved the Escolar Nigiri when it was on happy hour. I wish they would bring back the Chili Garlic Edamame on happy hour but it was probably too popular. Their house sake is only $2.50 and certain well drinks are only $3.50. I go there so much Chase knows what I want to drink right when I walk in lol. I recently went their during lunch and their lunch specials are also awesome. You can get two basic rolls (includes alaska and tootsie) and a miso soup for $8.95! I wish this place was closer to work so that I could eat it everyday.

  • Larry L.

    Ok, I'll be the first to say I was underwhelmed by my experience at the new south Scottsdale sushi spot. Our water tasted bad. Lemon or cucumber might have helped, not sure. Spicey Salmon salad looked and tasted funny to both of us. Our last sushi dish came 35 minutes after our first. That is way too long guys. We had been finished for 15 minutes and, had asked for the check when it finally appeared. We took it to go but, they didn't include any soy in the box so, we dumped it. Sake was lukewarm. Service was nice and friendly (thanks Katrina) and the squid salad was good. If this was my only choice, I might try them again but, several high quality spots just 2 miles away.

    Tried the happy hour on a Thursday and got there about 5:30. The place was empty except for another couple that was already there. The place was nice and seemed cleaned. As we were seated I realized how big the place was. There is a alcohol bar near the front and the sushi bar near the rear. We ordered several rolls. Actually ordered 2 too many as we had to take some leftovers to go. The nigiri was good. We also liked the spicy tuna. My wife liked the sweet potato roll which had no fish in it. We liked the chili/garlic edamame and the aloe martini and recommend it.

  • Kallen P.

    This place was delicious. The service was awesome. My husband and I had an aloe beitini and a Kirin. My tini was amazing. So refreshing! You couldn't taste the alcohol at all. We had the Bei special roll, a red dragon, and a volcano roll. They were all fabulous. We had our 11 month old daughter with us, and they were so attentive to her. They brought us miso soup and a small bowl of steamed rice, complementary. She loved it. Total, we spent just over $43 plus a tip. We will definitely be back and we can't wait have family come to visit so we can take them too

  • Jack T.

    The service is great. Helpful and expedient wait staff. Water is always filled and they take the time to answer any question you may have about the restaurant. The best thing here is the sushi. The seafood is fresh and portions large. They have a wide assortment of different types of sushi to fulfill your every desires. Hope they start expanding to more exotic types of seafood. I've tried some of their other dishes like the noodles . It's okay, but you would be better off going to a noodle shop. Likewise on some of their other entrees which are good, but nothing special.

  • Meghan K.

    Wow. Like WOW! never, and I mean never! Go here. Unless you enjoy shitty service. I've never experienced worse service in my life. My friend and I got to the restaurant during happy hour around 8:50-9PM (keep in mind they're open until 11PM! So we were not the assholes that come in right before you close.). The manager sat us, and our server Carly came over after like 6-7 minutes of nothingness later. When she approached our table, it was clear she had no interest in serving us (I can't fathom why not, considering we were the ONLY table). It took her like 10 minutes to bring us our drinks. Luckily our food came out shortly after in a timely manner. I ordered the sweet potato roll, and it was the last thing to come out. I don't know if you've ever had sweet potato before, but in general they're orange, so seeing that they were clear/translucent was too weird for me. I would have sent it back, but Carly decided talking to her coworkers and ignoring us, even after we were clearly finished, was a better idea! So when she finally came over, I told her she could take it back & that something about it wasn't right. She stood there questioning me like I was on trial about why it wasn't right/what I thought was wrong. If a customer complains, it doesn't matter what the problem was, just take care of it!! So she takes the roll back, while asking the chef behind the counter if he wants to try it to see what he thinks (which he did try it!). UHM WHAT, YOURE GOING TO EAT FOOD OFF OF A CUSTOMER'S PLATE?! I'm sorry, but that's a MAJOR health code violation!!!! She ended up sending the manager over after that, who then further questioned me, but comped it anyway. When we finally looked at the check, some of the dishes weren't correctly priced as they were on the happy hour menu. So my friend approached the counter where she waited.. And waited for Carly to come over so she could show her the receipt's error. When she decided to come help, she tried to argue with my friend over the happy hour menu, saying that "well it changes every month." Well, excuse me, but it was on the menu, and my friend even showed her. She finally fixed it, and by the time she did, we had been waiting close to 10 additional minutes since the manager had been to our table. We spent about an hour and half at this restaurant. Unfortunately, I won't get that time or money back. Do NOT waste yours. Let this be a warning!

    Was a little bit disappointed when we came in and was inform that Lao Thai close down because we personally knew the owner and their food was great but lucky day for us we're also sushi fanatics.Came in at lunch and was greeted right away.Their lunch special is the best deal in town the roll combo was a bargain 16 pieces of sushi for only 9 bucks the alaska and philly roll was definitely fresh and delicious Hung also recommended the chicken vento box to my boyfriend it comes with alot of different variety of food for only 7.25 another bargain to go along with our mai tai's Hung makes the best mai tai's in town! Overall the service was excellent and superb me and my boyfriend will return!

  • Cyrus R.

    We're now officially bona fide regulars here. We had previously been in love with Lao Thai (which was here before Bei was) and were pretty surprised to see it gone and replaced once upon a time. Whatever, we thought... may as well go in and try it out. That was 3 months ago, and we have been back at least once every 2 weeks ever since. And every single time, it's got the best and freshest sushi on par with the quality you receive at ShinBay (without the wallet-breaking prices). On top of that, the happy hour specials are awesome, the bar is awesome, and the servers and personnel are awesome (especially Chase and Jun). Bei really quickly won us over and rest assured we will continue to come back here over and over. This place is great

    First. I have to thank our server for accommodating to my shellfish allergy and communication with the kitchen. I know. I know. It seems stupid to go to a restaurant which you are allergic to 3/4 of the menu items and then have them work around it. Good food, HH is amazing and service is beyond point.

  • Einav H.

    I have been at this restaurant since it opened and their food has always been delicious! Great lunch specials, everything is good but specifically the Salmon combo- it is so tasty and it's a huge portion. The owners are always very nice and give great costumer service. Highly recommended.

    (5)

  • Randy S.

    my advice to BEI since it sounds like your food is amazing... remodel your bathrooms and keep them clean. didn't stay to try food because this place failed the first test... if you can't keep your bathroom clean and tidy then what does the kitchen look like? Sticky floors=yuck

    (1)

  • Josh P.

    This used to be a Restaurant called Lao Thai- which I liked but they recently changed it to a AWESOME Sushi Restaurant called Bei. The atmosphere was very nice and clean. The food was INCREDIBLE at Bei and now I find myself craving it all the time! I must say that it doesn't look like much from the outside. It is in an old strip mall in the "seedy" side of Scottsdale but the food, service and atmosphere was top notch! I highly recommend it! They have a very inviting Sushi Bar and I like the fact that they always have some of sports on the bar flat screen TV. Great place for a first date! The pricing was perfect and I am always full and satisfied when I leave there!

  • Kearstin B.

    I have been here a few times and a friend and I had dinner there last night. We went during happy hour and the prices are great, probably the best you can find in the area! The rolls we had were good- tootsie, cali, and Vegas. We also had edamame, miso soup, and dumplings. Overall we were very pleased with the food! Our server was somewhat friendly but got short with us here and there. Not a huge deal, but it turned us off a bit and that's why I gave bei 4 out of 5 :)

    So excited for a new sushi restaurant in the neighborhood that got it right! Happy hour menu is awesome and the sushi is great. If you don't want to hassle with all the other sushi restaurants in old town with mediocre sushi and the typical singles crowd and want a laid back atmosphere with good food check this place out!

  • Erika A.

    Can I eat here every day please?! I am a down to the bone sushi lover! Every time I have been here the service is nothing short of perfect. Always comes out right (even when modifications are made), quick, and with a smile. The manager always comes to the table to check in and you can tell he truly wants you to have a great experience. The house rolls are phenomenal!! I took a friend who isn't a sushi fan, he ate 3 different rolls and has gone back on his own! I'm pretty sure the Red Dragon roll is my new favorite food ever!!

  • Rin W.

    The food at Bei is AMAZING - I am a huge sushi fan and I would venture to say that the sushi at Bei is the best I've had in Arizona. I came here with a date on Thursday for the first time and the place was lovely. They had live music and a very cool atmosphere; the decor is very pretty. We were impressed! We ordered several rolls, some basic, like the tootsie and the spicy tuna, as well as the dragon and ASU roll. All of them tasted amazing. The ingredients at Bei are INCREDIBLY fresh; the fish is the best quality I've had in AZ and there's a delicious balance and texture to all of it. The rolls themselves were also extremely well-made; very tight and neat. ALSO the green tea ice cream is to die for. We will definitely be returning to Bei. The food came out quickly and, like I've been raving, it is of EXTREMELY high quality. The only blemish on the night was that while the service was relatively speedy, our particular waitress was distant and a little stand-offish; she almost never came to check on our table and when she did, she was cold and walked away almost immediately, before we could even tell her if we needed anything. Other servers who were around, whoever, were very kind and very pleasant, so I won't let that deter me from going back. Viva la Bei!

  • Sarah K.

    We walked into this place about fifteen minutes before they closed the sushi bar, and we are so glad we did! The sushi was absolutely amazing. The customer service was outstanding. They are super friendly and attentive. The only reason they got four stars is because their tuna was ok...I recommend the salmon sushi rolls! Especially the spicy one with jalapeños. we will definitely be going back.

  • Matt W.

    We had a good visit here! I was thinking this was going to be a hip, modern Asian fusion-y type of sushi joint. I think it wanted to be, but the shopping center location and cheap feeling ambiance sort of detracted from that possibility. The food however, is good! I would definitely suggest, if you want a low-key nite, to come here. Everyone liked what they had and the prices were good. The ambiance is nothing special (and the music which attempts to make this place feel hipper than it is, is kind of silly). It's more of a 3.5, but I really liked the food and the price so we'll give it a 4! Nothing too exciting, nice staff, good food...if you are looking for hip, fun vibe, it's not the place...

    Yum yum yum! This place is in a super weird location, but oh my gosh, the sushi is fantastic. I'm not a huge sushi connoisseur, but I eat it from time to time, and the roll I had here was honestly the best sushi roll I've ever had. My husband LOVED his, too, he had the Las Vegas and Golden Philly roll and raved about both. The wait staff is also super nice and attentive. Make sure to go for happy hour, too - fantastic prices on rolls! Can't say anything bad about the place.

  • Meg W.

    We have been to Bei twice now, and I have to say I hope this little sushi place stays around. The food has been really good on both visits, and I love that they offer a reverse happy hour, as my work schedule doesn't usually allow me to go to normal happy hour. The tuna lovers roll is amazing. Probably my favorite roll I have ever had anywhere! The sashimi prices are a little higher than what I would normally pay at a sushi restaurant. That's my only issue with Bei. The food is great, but the location and decorating/ ambiance of the restaurant aren't the best. The bar area is really dark- yet the dining room is extremely bright. I wish they could dim the lights a little more to give it a better vibe. I don't mind paying higher prices for quality sushi, but not when it's in a run down strip mall with tacky decorating. But we will return! And I probably just sounded super bitchy! Go here! Just don't expect a romantic setting of any sort! Oh and they have a good selection of appetizers! Yum!

  • Stephanie C.

    Suuuuper happy about bei. Up until they came into town, my bf and I would drive all the way from n. Scottsdale to Tempe marketplace for kabuki. Bei is easily as good as Kabuki, with super fresh sushi served at the exact right temperature. Very attentive and timely service. I judge a sushi restaurant by the hamachi and sake, and bei passed with flying colors. I'm also thankful they don't overdo the whole Americanized fried rolls with heavy mayo sauces. Always nice to see Mochi ice cream on the menu:)

  • Tara S.

    We ordered sashimi entree and spicy chicken noodle. The noodle was pretty good but the sashimi entree was ridiculous. It's was tiny for 15$ only 5 pieces of sashimi and 12 small pieces of california roll. Also, the fish were thin sliced. It was not worth 15$ for sure. If it was 8$ i won't complain but quality and quantity doesnt match the price.

    Items I highly recommend - lollipop rolls and the stuffed bei mushrooms! We came right during happy hour, server was very attentive and brought all our orders on time. Wish there was a more extensive Japanese beer line up to choose from, however Kirin was good. Parking was a bit difficult, but the food was worth it! You have to visit this restaurant when you're in the Scottsdale area!

    (4)

  • Neil K.

    I like the sushi here but I don't think it's fantastic. I love the pearl filtered sake, and the service is usually great. They are always falling over themselves to help you out. Sometimes the service can border on the bizarre though. I've never had them try to rush us out but sometimes the waiter can just be.... awkward. Also, the interior is just ugly. The booths and the bathroom scream diner, which is just not the type of interior I'm looking for when I'm eating sushi.

    (3)

    I would definitely come back. Service was great. The greeter was very traditional & attentive. The selection is good for any type of sushi eater. Spicy garlic edamame is good also.

    Excellent! I would highly recommend this place for its fresh and large cuts of fish, great prices, and pleasant atmosphere. The owner was present during our visit and was very attentive to all of the tables. As a sushi lover, I didn't think you could get quality sushi in the middle of the desert but this place proved me wrong. Coming back on my next trip to Arizona.

    Best sushi place around the south Scottsdale area. Make your way out of the trendy "sushi" restaurants in old town and head a bit south to find this gem. Don't be scared of the outside, make your way in to find friendly staff and one of the best sushi jointsin town. We had a large group come in late on a Saturday and the place was empty. Will be nice to see this place fill up once more people hear about it.

    I have never been so satisfied after getting lost before in my life!! This place is an absolute gem! First of all we showed up right at closing, unbeknownst to us of course, and not a word was said. We were graciously and promptly sat with a smile and a warm greeting. Things only got better from there... Best sushi I think I've ever had. And Lim who must have been either the owner or manager was absolutely the most exceptional host I've ever had the pleasure of dining with. He even handled my crazy two year old with grace. I live over an hour away and can not wait to make the trip back!!! Thank you for such a wonderful meal!

    I went to this restaurant on 7/5/2014 and when I went in the atmosphere was nice. However it took a long time for the waiter to come take my order. That's not the worst when I finally got my food and started eating their was a COCK ROACH crawling out of it. It was so disgusting I called the manager over and he saw it crawling around in the food and was grossed out. He said this has never happend and said its because it came from the back kitchen, but he can assure me that he can make me fresh sushi. I said no, I don't won't anything from here ever again. I didn't have to pay the bill, but I just thought you all should know that this restaurant is not sanitary. I will be reporting them to the health department. I've never experienced anything like this.

    Food & service was too notch!! Some of the best sushi I have had in a very long time. If you come, try to get the waiter Hung. He is super nice & has great recommendations. I was a first time customer from out of town. Will for sure be stopping in here each time I'm in Scottsdale!

    Delicious! And great service! And affordable! And a great legitimately Japanese ambiance.

    I have been coming here at least once a week since they opened last year. Bei is such an amazing addition to south Scottsdale. The owners, JT and June, are extremely welcoming and always smiling. The sushi is very fresh and of high quality. Bei has happy hour twice a day and the happy hour menu changes monthly which is something to look forward to each month. Try the Pure Roll - you won't be disappointed!

    Great place for sushi! After living in Chicago for many years, it's been tough finding a good sushi place around here for take out. Glad to have this place near by. It's our go to for japanese take out.

    I went to BEI the first week it opened. It was great. The sushi was excellent and fresh. The tempura and Korean pork was awesome. And, I had my first "sojutini" . The wait staff was attentive and the ambience was casual and warm. I will be back. Cannot wait to try the lunch specials.

    My husband and I were running errands in the area on a Saturday (1/4/13) and tried to stop at DeFalco's for a quick bite...couldn't get in the door. So drove down to Bei, someplace we'd been meaning to try. Couldn't have been happier. The food was excellent (I had the oyako don, and my husband had one of their bento box lunches with teriyaki chicken). Our server was awesome. The place was nicely decorated, with a great little bar area. We will definitely be back, need to give the sushi bar a go this next time!

    Recently stopped in Phoenix's newest Sushi restaurant. We arrived at BEI for early dinner at around 430 with a large group and sampled just about everything on the menu. By 530 the place was filled. Yet the food and service was excellent even when they were so busy. We have been to 4 other Sushi restaurants in the greater Phoenix Area and this one is head and shoulders above the rest. We WILL be back on our next trip to Phoenix.

    This is a cool little place, that was nicely redone when it became B.E.I. The staff is very friendly, the food is fast and delish, happy hour is good but limited. The staff is very friendly and on top of things. We were greeted several times walking in the door and were waited on / bussed by a few different people, but knew who are true server was. Our drinks were always full and we felt very welcomed. I have had several of the Sushi rolls, the yakisoba, spring rolls, tofu steak, edemame, and stuffed mushrooms. Everything has been great and all of it is recommended, especially the mushrooms. The presentation of food is nicely done and looks more expensive then it is. It is almost a great date place but it's almost too comfortable and well lit, it lacks romantic atmosphere, but would make a great casual date.

    THIS PLACE IS OVERRATED! Okay, I'm a simple girl. I really just love GOOD basic sushi. A good California roll here, maybe some speciality rolls, nothing too much to ask but this place has not impressed me and I feel the the reviews just led me on. First, the California rolls weren't good. I want to know how one can possibly make a bad tasting cali roll? I spit it out immediately. The rice was so sticky!! They really were shy on the imitation crab as well because it just dropped out of the roll when I picked it up. Next, the egg rolls. What If I told you that the vegetable egg rolls at Panda Express were more tasty than these? Not bashing, just saying. They weren't even full egg rolls, they were cut into little slice things. Anyways, the house salad was good, it doesn't have that thicker ginger dressing that most sushi restaurants usually have but it's cool. I don't know if I'll be back but this place seems to have plenty of fans and I hope the business continues to be successful!

    My honey and I came here for the 1st time it was good would defiantly come again, we want to try happy hour or reverse happy hour! :) I had the spicy crispy chicken and he had the Bei Bulgogi both super tasty would defiantly order again but would ask for the Bei Bulgogi spicy next time, service was great too! We'll recommend and come again.....

    They have excellent customer service. The servers are super friendly and attentive. And their sushi is great, some of the best I have had in town. I will definitely come back to this place...especially during happy hour when they have pretty good deals.

  • A C.

    I went to Bei with my sister on Sunday 8/10. We got two lunch specials - each included two rolls and a bowl of soup. Rolls were very good and the soup was, also. Price was good - $8-9 for this per order. have yet to check it out for happy hour but will be back. hope they pick up more business - it's right next to Frashers but kind of obscure in a no-named little strip mall. our server was very nice and attentive and the food came out in a timely manner but no one else was there. bar area seems large and they have TV's for sports! asparagus veggie roll was delish!!!

    (4)

  • Bobby S.

    Great value for your buck! I've enjoyed most of the sushi bars in Scottsdale. The Value of the sushi in Bei more than makes up for the slight lack in ambience. The hapy hour opening prices are some of the best deals in Scottsdale. $2.95 California roles to the $6.95 scallop role. I included some pics. Look no further if you are looking for good sushi for a great price in Scottsdale...

    Lunch menu is filling and ranges from 9-13 bucks. Attentive server with refills and pleasant atmosphere. I tried the lunch sushi combo but might opt for a rice bowl or teriyaki dish next time. The sushi didn't sit that well but could've been either the fish quality or soy sauce, not sure.

    I have made this a regular stop on the way to Sky Harbor airport from Chandler when traveling on business. My favorites are the Volcano Roll and Las Vegas Roll plus they are very reasonably discounted between 4:30 and 7pm. The service is great and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. I plan on returning to try just about everything I can!

    Since we used Yelp to find this restaurant, thought it only fair to provide a review. We arrived in Phoenix today and looked on Yelp for nearby sushi (our go to meal when traveling). We are staying near the university in Tempe so hoped to get away a bit. We saw the reviews and location in Scottsdale for Bei so headed there for dinner. We had a 7 PM reservation (made this afternoon) and were taken directly to our table and greeted almost immediately by our waiter. While the restaurant seemed full and there were some people waiting, they seemed well staffed. Our waiter brought our water and drinks fairly quickly and then took our dinner order. We ordered edamame as well as a sashimi sampler and a couple of rolls and were off to a good start. We got rice and some kind of sauce fairly quickly that we were told was for the sashimi and then didn't see our first order of food (the sashimi) until we were there for at least another 20 minutes. We were surprised the edamame wasn't served sooner but assume our waiter forgot. It did eventually arrive and was hot and flavorful. The sashimi platter was served by a different waitress who dropped it off at the table without saying a word, almost walking away as she brought it before we could even ask her to maybe explain the dish a bit. She also happened to bring out the two rolls we ordered and same story. We weren't sure if she was just having a bad night or was always like that so we mentioned her affect to our waiter who then sent the manager. When it comes to sushi and the work the chefs do to prepare, it would seem the presentation of the dish is at least a part of the experience and she clearly hadn't gotten the message. He was extremely apologetic and said he would speak to the waitress. He came by several times again to apologize and actually took 10% off the total for the late food and sporadic service. We did notice the waitress was more interactive with other tables later so assume she took her managers advice. The food was better than average when it arrived so that combined with the managers efforts to recover from poor service rate Bei 4 stars. FYI, did comment the restaurant was loud, mainly due to a woman at the table next to us who had an abnormally loud laugh.

    Drove by this place and decided to stop in instead of going all the way to old town for sushi and we had a blast! The staff was awesome and the food was fantastic (although I've had better calamari). The atmosphere was very lively, there was a DJ too! I'll definitely be back.

    (5)

  • Elizabeth B.

    The only reason this place doesn't get five stars is because the ambiance leaves a lot to be desired. The sushi is delicious, get the Alaskan roll!

  • Dewey R.

    This is one of my first reviews because I usually do not take the time and am skeptical about reviews. I am not what you would call a foodie but I appreciate good food and think I have good taste. I purchased a couple of things to go and was very, very impressed even though most food does not translate as well when ordered to go. I ordered the spicy crispy chicken entree and shrimp tempura and they were excellent. I am chomping at the bit to go eat in the dining room because if it was this good to go I can imagine it will be even better to eat in. I live very close to this restaurant and do not want to see it go away so please take my review with a grain of salt but give it a try and I will bet you will be impressed.

  • Samantha M.

    Being a lover of sushi my husband and I love to check all as many local sushi places as possible. This place has great reviews but the sushi did not live up to our expectations. The classic rolls (i.e., spicy tuna) was the best thing we had. All of their 'specialty' rolls seemed similar and we're not great. Main upside of this place...they're open until midnight!

    (3)

  • Marie K.

    This has been my third visit to Bei, and 2 out of the three times I have been extremely happy. I love how the menu has udon noodles and some other dishes I have not found at other sushi restaurants, and the sushi is pretty good. Also, any place that has happy hour until 7 is awesome, however an advertised $7 per sake bomb is nothing to get excited about.

    I had the best experience at this place. I was at my scottsdale home and saw this pop up on Yelp and I love sushi just scared of trying new places. I took 10 of my friends that were in town and we spent about 200$ here It amazing and the workers were funny and having fun serving us cracking jokes and stuff. The sushi was good the seating was good and it was fast. Literally we were in and out with no hassle. Just a great job. I don't get why their is bad reviews for family owned places. Show this place some support and go in and try their sushi! Wish I could give them more than just 5 stars lol.

  • Mike S.

    Everything about this place reminded me of a small, modern sushi joint you would only find on the West Coast (Seattle, Portland or San Francisco). Loved the service, but the sushi was as fresh as you'll find to top things off. This place is a hit for sushi lovers.

  • Ramya M.

    I am not a fan of sushi. So, I have no idea how good or bad their sushi is. Their chashu ramen though, is to die for. Clearly, the broth is made in-house and it's the star of the dish. Again, I am no ramen expert but I am usually slurping away to glory until the last drop. I also like their ramen portion. It's just right. I always feel guilty leaving behind so much ramen at other places. Of course, I wouldn't box up ramen. Sacrilege! Ask for their secret "red spice powder". Sprinkle (with caution) on top and slurp away!

    Stopped in for lunch to try some place new. The restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated. We sat down and ordered off the lunch menu. Very good prices for all they had to offer. I ordered the sushi roll combo and my friend ordered the chicken teriyaki box. We really got a lot for what we paid for. I got 2 big sushi rolls and ended up taking 1 of the rolls home to go. The chicken teriyaki box was also very large with a variety of items. Service was very good and we will be back.

  • Chris H.

    A nice stop for lunch, with friendly staff and good food. I sat at the bar and order the lunch special which is reasonable prices and good portioned. Plenty of seating with good space. the rolls I ordered were fresh and flavorful, great selection of Japanese beer and wines to complement. Worth a stop if you have a sushi craving!

  • Kearstin B.

    I have been here a few times and a friend and I had dinner there last night. We went during happy hour and the prices are great, probably the best you can find in the area! The rolls we had were good- tootsie, cali, and Vegas. We also had edamame, miso soup, and dumplings. Overall we were very pleased with the food! Our server was somewhat friendly but got short with us here and there. Not a huge deal, but it turned us off a bit and that's why I gave bei 4 out of 5 :)

    I have never been so satisfied after getting lost before in my life!! This place is an absolute gem! First of all we showed up right at closing, unbeknownst to us of course, and not a word was said. We were graciously and promptly sat with a smile and a warm greeting. Things only got better from there... Best sushi I think I've ever had. And Lim who must have been either the owner or manager was absolutely the most exceptional host I've ever had the pleasure of dining with. He even handled my crazy two year old with grace. I live over an hour away and can not wait to make the trip back!!! Thank you for such a wonderful meal!

    I was in town for a conference and wanted a quick sushi dinner on my first night in. This place did not disappoint! I ordered and it was delivered to me in under 30 minutes! I chose the cucumber salad, which was delicious and well-balanced (not too acidic) and the Big Time Roll, which was delicious. I was also thrilled that they did not put the extra sauce on the roll, as I usually like less sauce than others. Overall, this was absolutely the right choice and I would order from them again!

    Not a fancy restaurant but nice comfortable environment with friendly services. Their ramen noodle tastes really good. Sushi are freshly made. Happy hours are everyday 4:30-7:00, and 9:00-close. Even it's not happy hours, still very good deal.

    I have been coming here at least once a week since they opened last year. Bei is such an amazing addition to south Scottsdale. The owners, JT and June, are extremely welcoming and always smiling. The sushi is very fresh and of high quality. Bei has happy hour twice a day and the happy hour menu changes monthly which is something to look forward to each month. Try the Pure Roll - you won't be disappointed!

    I've gone here three times recently to watch MLS soccer games that are subject to broadcast blackouts. The staff has been very friendly and remembered I was there to watch the soccer game even when customers who came in later wanted to watch other games and Chang even knows a thing or two about soccer. I've talked to him on my last two visits. There are about 10 TVs here so there are plenty to go around. The food here is good too. They know how to make good iced tea (i.e. not bitter), which by the way goes well with pickled ginger, and the sushi I've had here has been as good as any I've had here in the valley. My favorite so far is the sashimi salad, but I still have to make my way around the rest of the menu during the remainder of the MLS playoffs.

    The food is great here. Suggestion for to-go noodle soup: separate the noodle and the soup in a different containers. I ordered to-go once that the noodles are already in the soup, after I got home, the noodles are over cooked..as it been keep cooking itself in the hot soup. Hope this will improve. The rice bowls are nice with veggies. I don't like the wasabi here, it is kinda fake wasabi.

    I'm very selective about sushi since I'm from Hawaii, and this place exceeds my expectations. The fish is as fresh as you can get in AZ, the service is fast and friendly, and the prices are reasonable. The best part for me? It's the closest sushi place to my home. :) They have a great happy hour menu, as well as live music on select nights. Check in to Yelp for a free miso soup!

  • Aurora C.

    Came back for lunch with some coworkers. Food was good (I had the beef teriyaki bento box) but service was AWFUL. The waiter came to our table and awkwardly stood behind one of my friends. She turned around to let him know we were ready to order and his response "i know, that's why I'm standing here". At the end he just dropped all our checks on the table instead of handing each check to us. Also someone asked him to break a $5 and he said no. I've been here twice before and never had a problem with service. It was a disappointing experience as I do like the food.

    (3)

  • Eric L.

    Took the family to lunch at Bei. Very disappointing experience after seeing all those 4/5 stars review. This is a typical Americanized Japanese restaurant. Sushi/regular dishes were nothing special. Perhaps my expectation was too high after reading the Yelp reviews. I was expecting much higher quality like Hiro Sushi. Service was so-so as well. Had to ask for things multiple times to get a response. Check came quickly enough though. I guess it's time for the server to take a break.

    (2)

  • Neil K.

    I like the sushi here but I don't think it's fantastic. I love the pearl filtered sake, and the service is usually great. They are always falling over themselves to help you out. Sometimes the service can border on the bizarre though. I've never had them try to rush us out but sometimes the waiter can just be.... awkward. Also, the interior is just ugly. The booths and the bathroom scream diner, which is just not the type of interior I'm looking for when I'm eating sushi.

    (3)

    I would definitely come back. Service was great. The greeter was very traditional & attentive. The selection is good for any type of sushi eater. Spicy garlic edamame is good also.

    Excellent! I would highly recommend this place for its fresh and large cuts of fish, great prices, and pleasant atmosphere. The owner was present during our visit and was very attentive to all of the tables. As a sushi lover, I didn't think you could get quality sushi in the middle of the desert but this place proved me wrong. Coming back on my next trip to Arizona.

    First off the sign is very small. Maybe because of the name but the place is pretty big inside and clean. Got greeted immediately and was attended to for drinks and ordering. Got the free miso soup offer from yelp. Small bowl but really good. Ordered off the lunch special and got the tempura box and was completely full. Will need to go back for just the sushi to see if I can give more stars. Received a free California sushi card from our waiter which was nice. Ordered a beer which I was a bit expensive for $5 a bottle.

    I had the chance to enjoy their Happy Hour last Saturday. Since they just opened they were pretty empty, but I feel with the quality of food they serve that will not last for long. We ate the spring rolls, salmon sushi, the Las Vegas Roll, and the assorted sashimi. The all the items we delicious and fresh. I was very impressed by the size of the roll and it wasn't overly cream cheesy. Cannot wait to come back to try more items.

    Salads remain tasty, and the calamari fillet appetizer was tasty. Hot sake is also good. This is the second time I've been here, and the second time I have received so-so service from the sour-faced waitress and great service from the busboy. I wish my tip would go to him exclusively. Come for the starting salad... Then get out quickly and go elsewhere for main courses and sushi rolls, as ours were of average quality and upper-third pricing.

    Very decent place to get sushi. Everything was pretty good. I love the Scottsdale Roll. The place is big but wasn't crowded or busy. Nothing special and just an average sushi place but definitely a place to go if you want some good sushi in Arizona.

    Best sushi in The Phoenix area! Staff is always pretty nice and the quality is awesome. Have never had a roll I didn't like! I go there a few times a month! Highly recommend you try it out

    I'm so glad that we found this place. I've only had rolls and I highly recommend them. Prices are fair and the lunch special can't be beat, but it's great for dinner as well. Special shout out to Gary, a great waiter!

    Great spot. We often go for the late happy hour (9pm-close) and get a couple appetizers and Sake bombs. Appetizers are $3-7.

    My family has our traditional sushi place in Phoenix, which has now closed (RIP Sushi on Shea!). This was our attempt to replace it. Although there are not a large number of particularly fancy rolls, the sushi was well-made and super tasty. The salads were reasonably priced and had lots of fish on them (especially the spicy tuna salad, which is amazing!). The Green Bei Roll will be something I will go back to again and again. The servers were very attentive and food came out very quickly.

    I have ate here twice and I have NO complaints. The service starts as soon as you walk through the front door, as it should. After being greeted and thanked for coming in, we are ushered to our seats. The menu has everything you could imagine! Bento boxes, fresh Maki rolls, and every kind of Nigiri conceivable. We ordered the Sweet Potato Roll, the Nebraska roll, Tuna/Salmon/Yellowtail Nigiri, and a Vegas roll. The prices are the only thing that can beat how FAST the food came out. Within ordering, we had our food, all four rolls, at our ready. I will be coming back here again and again and again!

    Coming in, we were greeted and felt welcomed. The waiter wasn't very helpful in choosing our meal and giving us options. We started with eating the miso soup, unfortunately that was cold and salty. The sushi was alright, nothing special. And main course which consisted of thinly sliced beef was alright too. Nothing that would make me come back honestly. And the waiters seemed like they were in a hurry all the time.

  • Dominique G.

    Went here before going to old town with some friends... I had the Nebraska Roll and let me just say, probably some of the best sushi I have had! I also had the egg rolls for an appetizer and those were pretty great too. It is a pretty casual laid back atmosphere. Wait staff was good. Will definitely be visiting in the near future!

    SAKE BOMBS to celebrate RnR AZ Marathon Finishers and SEAHAWKS NFC CHAMPS!!! Monkey do: SALMON KAMA- cooked perfectly BULGOGI- a little on the salty side, but still okay. Rice & tempura helped. Great service, good food and plenty seating at bar, booths or tables for larger parties.

  • Rob C.

    We came to Bei because we always drive by it and wanted to check it out. It was a late lunch and there was no rush. We were immediately seated and got our drinks. Had the chicken teriyaki bento box and bolgogi bowl. Both were enough food for us and we had no left overs. The service wasn't mind blowing but they checked in a handful of times- they seemed like they needed a bit of an energy burst. Nonetheless, the price point was awesome! We will definitely be coming back.

  • Amanda S.

    So excited for a new sushi restaurant in the neighborhood that got it right! Happy hour menu is awesome and the sushi is great. If you don't want to hassle with all the other sushi restaurants in old town with mediocre sushi and the typical singles crowd and want a laid back atmosphere with good food check this place out!

  • Erika A.

    Can I eat here every day please?! I am a down to the bone sushi lover! Every time I have been here the service is nothing short of perfect. Always comes out right (even when modifications are made), quick, and with a smile. The manager always comes to the table to check in and you can tell he truly wants you to have a great experience. The house rolls are phenomenal!! I took a friend who isn't a sushi fan, he ate 3 different rolls and has gone back on his own! I'm pretty sure the Red Dragon roll is my new favorite food ever!!

  • Serena C.

    I dropped by for lunch. I had one of their lunch specials ... a vegetable tempura bento box. It was excellent. I wanted to order a roll, but I was told that the bento box would suffice. There was quite a bit of food! I plan on going again. I want to try something else! :)

  • Libbie H.

    I was in the mood for sushi during lunch one day, but most of the sushi places in downtown Scottsdale are too loud/hip/fancy/expensive. I decided to try Bei, since it's in a modest strip mall and takes to-go orders. I called in and ordered the Golden Alaska and Vegetable rolls with a side of edamame to go, and was told it would only be 10-15 minutes, even though it was around noon during lunch rush hour. I got to the restaurant and everyone seemed very friendly. The waiter said he was including miso soup in my order as well, and by some miracle the total only came out to $12 -- I looked at the receipt and saw they gave me some sort of sushi combination lunch special price, even though I didn't order anything from that menu. The sushi was awesome, and it was the best free miso soup I've had. Usually the soup at other restaurants is just salty broth, but this had a lot of tofu and seaweed and was something I would actually pay for with my order. I will definitely be going back for lunch.

  • Samantha R.

    I'd give Bei a 3.5. Who ever the Yelpers are that compare it to Shin Bay, have obviously never been to Shin Bay. Not even close to Hiro, for that matter. We're talking Ra or Kona Grill at best. For shame fellow Yelpers, let's just call a spade, a spade. It's passable sushi in Scottsdale. For those who disagree...get out more. Try real sushi.

  • Jim C.

    Everything was tasty here and the people were so nice. I had the lunch bento box. The spicy pork was delicious as was the tempura. It was all very good but I wouldn't say it was special. Still, if you're in the mood for solid Japanese food, this is a good spot.

    (3)

  • Andrea S.

    The staff is really friendly and quick. I usually split the blazing alaska (my favorite because of the thin sliced jalapeño) and another roll like a spicy salmon. The happy hour deals are pretty unbeatable and the lunch sashimi special is a good deal as well. I wish they had less cream cheese integrated in the menu but that's just me. A lot of people really enjoy the cream cheese filled rolls. Also a good place for take out if you live in the area.

  • Kitty K.

    Amazing! They have lunch specials everyday, not just M-F. The Sunshine Roll is pure heaven, in fact, I can't stop thinking about it. The sushi is super fresh and beautifully presented. Cute place, great sushi, awesome service, I'm totally hooked!

    Decided to try Bei for lunch during the work week since my co-worker was craving noodles so I suggested we go to Bei since she hadn't been yet and it wasn't far from work. The place wasn't busy (maybe 5 tables of people sitting) and once we sat we looked at the lunch specials. My girlfriend had the 1 Noodle and 1 Rice bowl special. I had the Mixed Tempura Box. Ok we were SHOCKED at how much food came out for that price!!!! Mine came with a salad, CA roll (4 pc), mixed tempura w/veggies and shrimp, and rice and it was huge! I didn't even touch the rice, CA roll or finish all the veggies and I am stuffed. Her's came out and the Udon noodles bowl was HUGE (dinner size portion) with veggie tempura AND a rice pork bowl (dinner size portion). We were so full by the time we left. Here's was $12.95 and mine was $7.95. You cannont beat that. Someone could easily split one dish for two people. Service was also great like always.

    I've been wanting to try this place since I called to order my Tai dinner one night from Lao & was told it was gonna be a sushi restaurant, awhile ago now. Finally got the opportunity this night. The floor plan is much smaller than what Lao Tai had to offer (for a group of two or four your just fine). K & I ordered a lot of food as K had been camping for the last five days & was quite hungry. All of the appetizers we had were very yummy. Because of our hunger & it happening to be happy hour we ordered 9 different types of sushi! There was only one of the 9 that was not to our likening. We were very pleasantly greeted & seated, but am sad to say our waitress & overall service was less than enthusiastic. It is really unfortunate because we are a family of sushi lovers, & I will now hesitate to return, even just for take-out.

  • Derek J.

    Since I moved to Scottsdale from Tucson, Ive been trying to find a place that I could go to for sushi that wasnt called Ra. My buddy and I went for the reverse happy hour and were able to try anything we wanted because of the affordable prices of the rolls. This place is awesome and the service is great and attentive. I would recommend this spot to anyone. They also have live music some nights.

  • Lyndsay S.

    Love this place! Chang is the best! Seriously, quit surfing for other sushi reviews mid-Scottsdale. If you go there ask for Chang, I ordered once and came back like a month later and he asked me if i wanted the exact same thing and quotes my order. Amazing service!

    Not only do they have arguably the best sushi in town but the customer service is also five star. Very friendly and accommodating, even when I ordered after they had shut down the kitchen, they still took my to go order. That's what keeps people coming back...and the Bei special roll.

  • Hit'em Long W.

    We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door. Quickly seated and served water and menus. I like how they decorated the restaurant. Much better than the previous Thai restaurant that was here before. I ordered the Calamari appetizer. I believe the best Calamari appetizer I have ever tasted. Loved the crisp panko coating. I also had the Tootsie Roll. Very good and filling. My friend ordered the lunch special Mixed Tempura Box. Boy, did it look yummy! It must have been because he ate every bite. The Bento Box had so much food for only $7.95. The only thing I was disappointed in was the Seafood Dynamite. It did not taste fresh. It had a strong "imitation" flavor to it. Besides that, it was very difficult to eat with chopsticks. I thought I was going to get something similar to RA's Scallop Dynamite. Very different. I do not recommend this appetizer at all. The experience was nice. Staff eager to please. Food delicious. Restaurant clean. I will come back.

    Discovered this place on Yelp so checked it out a month ago with a friend. Since then, been back 3 times already. It's kind of unassuming given it's in the shopping mall and nothing outside seems to scream 'come on in' about it. I don't know if it's the best but I had others highly reviewed sushi joints and they were just ok. The attentiveness and customer service here is just right. Not bothersome but always there when I need something. Don't believe the owners are Japs but who cares when I can get a damn cold Asahi with good sashimi right?

  • Melissa S.

    Surprisingly good sushi! Sat at the sushi bar - friendly chefs and really great service. I was given a yummy cucumber/crab salad as an appetizer :) It was happy hour (4:30-7, 9-close). Prices were discounted $1-2, but even regular price wasn't bad (as a referenced, a Shrimp Tempura Roll is $6.95). Best deal was the $2.50 house hot sake!

  • Janice P.

    We come here often on Friday nights -- great people, very good service, perfect drinks, happy hour menu has variety and changes, no complaints at all after many visits. In addition, the place is divided up so that have three venues: a bar, a sushi bar, plus tables and booths. Bathrooms are spotless.

  • Andrew P.

    Salmon nigiri... Simply the best! We are always treated like family even when they are busy. In fact, one of the owners shared his Mom's homemade Kim Chee with me. We don't need to ask for gluten free soy or Soju because the owners and staff simply remember.

    (5)

  • Nikole R.

    Decent overall. Super friendly and attentive service. Ramen was just okay...broth not very flavorful so I asked for a side of Sriracha to give it a flavor boost. Sushi was decent too. Nice environment and convenient.

  • Leslie G.

    Great sushi happy hour! Awesome miso soup! I loved the volcano roll OMG! It was too die for! Edamame only $1.95, sushi for $3.50 & rolls are $5.95-9.95. Want beer? Stella's for $3.95, large Japanese beers like Kirin for $4.95! Friendly staff, great tunes - they're bumping some fun music & have live music on Thursdays! I'd like to see more sushi & rolls on the Happy Hour menu, but overall a great find close to home!

    It was 7PM on a Sunday and the place was pretty empty. Our waitress made it very clear by her rudeness and hey body language that she did not want to be there so we didn't bother her too much. The other servers were awesome and the food was OK. The waitress (black haired girl named Carlee) never checked in on us and after we flagged her down to pay the bill she finally dragged herself over. We asked if we could get the bill split, and if not that's OK we could figure it out... She rolled her eyes and said "I'm not sure, I'll see what I can do". Then she came back with the split bill. This is no exaggeration, this is verbatim what she said: "Just to let you people know; it's standard protocol to ask the server to split your bill BEFORE you order!" We were speechless. One of our guys went to get the owner's number and while he was at the bar, Carlee came back and said unsolicitedly: "I don't have time for this and it's at the server's discretion." Once again, the place was empty. After a few other rude remarks from her, we left her 0 tip and felt badthat she ruined it for the other servers who were great. SO- if you go here, go to the BAR! AVOID CARLEE!

    Not horrible. That is actually a compliment from me when talking about a japanese restaurant. I eat sushi at least once a week and have tried almost every joint in the valley not to mention many around the country. I have eaten sushi in the sushi Mecca of the Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo. Bei isn't horrible just average leveling up there with stingray and Ra although less expensive. The sushi is Americanized but I appreciated their miso soup and gyoza. Not bad for a quick bite in south Scottsdale.

    (3)

  • Kris J.

    Pretty nice place. Ordered: Edamame - excellent Tootsie roll - average Philly roll - good Miso soup - good As far as the sushi, I prefer Sake Bomber over on Broadway. But this place had a very engaging bartender. Unfortunately they close mid day for two hours, so we were rushed. Make sure you have plenty of time to eat if you go for lunch.

  • Jay L.

    Service was great for happy hour but the sashimi did not taste that fresh. It might have been because I was starving, but I felt sick eating the sushi. I love sashimi, sushi but tonight's didn't taste good. The rolls were over stuff with rice and very little sushi. Carlee was actually a fantastic host tonight. Maybe she was having a bad night the other night per another reviewer.

  • leah c.

    My boyfriend and I love sushi and having this place around the corner has been a blessing! It's not the most glamorous but what it lacks in looks it makes up for in quality and service. As I am not a seaweed person I always ask for soy paper and boy can they wrap it tightly! I know that's weird to gush about how they wrap it but it makes the difference when chopsticks can actually be useful. The staff are always so pleasant and make it a point to ensure you have everything you need. The monthly change to the happy hour food menu is nice because it forces you to try something new especially when on a budget. I'm usually a tough person to impress but this place has my wallet and taste buds wrapped in soy paper!

  • Jace R.

    We've been here twice and both times were extremely happy with the experience. Our first visit was actually on Christmas day. We don't really celebrate and wanted something non-traditional that wasn't going to be ridiculously expensive. When we saw on Facebook that this place was going to be open, we made sure to head on over. We got calamari and garlic, chili edamame to start. The edamame was amazing! By far the best I've had at a sushi joint. The calamari was ok. I liked that they used steaks instead of rings, but I really wasn't a fan of the batter. I would have preferred a tempura style, rather than the harsher, breadcrumb coating. I think it took away from the good piece of squid hiding underneath. But it was still good, and if you like calamari you'll like this. For rolls we got the Blazing Alaska Roll, the Vegas Roll and the Golden Philly Roll. All three were so incredibly good! The sashimi used was fresh and flavourful, and the wasabi aioli wasn't overpowering, which was my fear. I'd highly recommend any of the rolls we got. The second time we were there we went for lunch and got the roll combo (each of us). Two rolls and miso for $8.95 is a great deal! I know I got the spicy yellowtail with avocado instead of cucumber and eel and avocado. I don't remember what my partner got, but it was gone pretty quick, so it must have been good! Mine were great. I'm a huge fan of spicy yellow tail, especially if it's fresh. I'd definitely recommend going during happy hour or lunch, but their prices aren't ridiculous so you won't break the bank during dinner. We'll definitely be back! There are a bunch more rolls that we want to try. We're hoping that they're open on Christmas again next year. (hint hint!)

  • Vern G.

    I was really hoping this could be my new sushi haunt--my old favorite was also right next to a Fascinations so I thought that was a good sign. However, I was underwhelmed by the food here. I felt like there was too much cucumber in the spicy tuna, and the rolls with crab in them were too creamy. I think they had too much mayo in them. I'm sure a dismayed chef might say, "they didn't even have mayo in them!" But that's just my guess. Something was off about them. They weren't terrible, but not great either. The food had a really good presentation; it was just not very flavorful. They also forgot to bring out one of the items I ordered, which would have been far more forgivable if the food was good. I'll continue my search for an excellent sushi restaurant in the East Valley. In sum, I give this restaurant a rating of "meh."

  • Nati K.

    Amazing. Started with the miso soup and house salad. Also chose the chili garlic edamame as an appetizer. For our sushi roll, we selected the Desert Sunset Roll- (Shrimp Tempura, Crab Mix, and Cucumber, topped with Yellowtail, Avocado, and Ponzu Aioli). Incredible. The highlight of the meal had to be the Spicy Crispy Chicken. Phenomenal. If you're looking for a laid-back, casual spot with fantastic food, Bei will not disappoint!

  • Michelle L.

    Tried Bei tonight for the first time with the hubby and it was super yummy! To quote our dinner conversation- "I think we've found a gem!" Happy hour every day, with specials on drinks, apps and rolls. Nice presentation for the food, large portions- enough to take home a doggy bag, and good prices. Will be back! :)

  • Soo Jin M.

    We had the crab stuffed mushrooms which were very different from what I'd imagined. Its basically a large ball of crab with a little mushroom on it (think crab ball with hat) covered in panko and fried. Sounds weird, but its actually pretty dang good. Its a little tricky to eat but I'd definitely recommend trying it if you like crab. We also had the spicy salmon, spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, and one that I don't remember the name of.. They were decent, slightly too much rice and slightly off in the slicing but priced very right even without a special. If you're in the mood for sushi in a bistro type environment versus a club and don't want to be reamed on pricing I would highly recommend this place!

    I came here with lunch with 6 people. I got the California roll and the shrimp Tamera roll * I might be misspelling that*. The miso soup was amazing and the sushi was fresh and tasty. The waitress was really nice and patience. I will be coming back often , I wish I would have known this was here before now. I love this place, someone needs to do their marketing and get their name out there. So thankful I found them on Yelp. We are even making plans on coming back today with 12 people! :) Thanks Yelp for helping me find my new favorite sushi place

  • Zika V.

    I want to give a 4.5 rating. Overall we had a great experience here. It's truly a "hidden" gem in south Scottsdale. Don't let the exterior of this place change your minds, the inside is *much* better. It has a nice environment, super clean (floors, tables, booths, etc) it has a "Zen" type of feel. Love that they have the free miso soup if you check in here and it was tasty :) ANd awesome choices on the menu for Happy Hour which they have EVERy DAY till 7pm!!!! we ordered a mixed Tempura as an appetizer which was one of our best tempuras we've ever tried. We also ordered the Vegas Roll and forgot the name of the other one. Both of them were delicious! And very filling ;) The server was great explaining the menu and she was super friendly, the only not so good thing was that whoever delivered our main sushi rolls delivered first my husbands and 10 minutes later mine. But didn't care much because I already had some miso and tempura ;) I've been spreading the word about this awesome place, You Should check it out!!!

    Ok. Not bad. Nothing exciting. The rolls are very small and basic. The chiefs hi bowl was decent with a good amount of rice. Satisfied my craving for sushi in general but won't be craving this place specifically.

    Bei is a hidden gem in a strip mall that doesn't seem special. I've during a happy hours for a few time, and they don't disappoint. Their specialty rolls are great, especially the volcano roll w/ fried scallop. their nigiris are good, but not exceptional. Bei is a good sushi joint with good value. Take your bae to Bei, it won't disappoint!

  • Aarize D.

    I was with a handful of women when I went to Scottsdale, AZ for a Women's Empowerment retreat and we have a day to ourselves before the shenanigans happen. So my friend was planning to meet up with her cousin who lives in Tempe.. so I asked her to if I could tag along and they were cool with it. They (cousin and the fiance) picked us up from our hotel and headed out to Bei. Atmosphere/Ambiance: I like the atmosphere here because it was not your regular quiet sushi place.. it was more like a sushi restaurant + sports bar with bunch of TV's + live bands on certain days type of combination. There wasn't any live bands when we went but they were playing good music. Food: - Love Hurts Roll (Crab Mix, Avocado, Topped with Baked White Fish with Spicy Aioli, and Eel Sauce, Scallions, Sriracha): really good spiciness from the Spicy Aoili & Sriracha, the White Fish portion was decent and the sushi didn't fall apart after a bite. - Chicken Teriyaki entree (Chicken teriyaki, steamed rice, vegetable tempura, miso soup, house salad): it was more like a Chicken Teriyaki sizzling plate! I wished they wrote that it's a sizzling plate entree than a regular entree.. but regardless it was good portion... I enjoyed my vegetable tempura the most. Service: Our server was pretty attentive to us since even though it was getting a bit busy by the time we ordered our food. In the end, it was a great place that my friends cousin had picked and I can see myself coming back here in the future. It seemed like a great place for Happy hour shenanigans too.

  • Victoria J.

    The food was awesome but the service sucks. We went there today to get a sashimi and 2 hand rolls. It wasn't a busy Monday and it took 30 mins to serve the sashimi. Really?! We thought they probably went fishing in the fish tank and can't get the fish out. Then we waited 15 mins for the salmon skin hand roll. Then we noticed that only few people left eating, so we decided to order another 2 spicy tuna hand roll and the 2 nigiri, we thought maybe this time it will come out faster but it took another 25 mins for the spicy tuna hand roll and another 15 mins for the nigiri. Seriously!? Our order was not that complicated and you don't have boil it or cook it for that long. Over all the service was so bad but the food taste good.

    This was my first time trying this restaurant. Owner and staff were very friendly and welcoming. Food was excellent! For starters we ordered seasoned edamame and fried dumplings, followed by volcano rolls, spicy salmon rolls, a teriyaki chicken bowl and a set of vegetarian rolls. Everything was delectable. My personal favorite - volcano rolls! Will definitely come back for more!

    Their sweet potato roll is hands down my favorite roll EVER! I'm not a vegetarian but wow!!! This place is amazing! Ive tried just about every other sushi restaurant in Scottsdale and by far this place is the best! Service and always immaculate, it's always clean, they play sports games on their tvs around the restaurant which I love, and the staff is always so friendly! This place is a must if you want grade A sushi and killer service!

    I love this family owned Sushi place. They take pride in their work. The sashimi is always fresh and melts in your mouth. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They carry a food complimentary Sake selection. Twice a month on Thursday's at 6pm they have live Jazz music; enhancing the experience. I highly suggest this place!

  • Faridah S.

    I hadn't been to Bei for quite some time, but decided to stop by the other day to satisfy my craving for sushi. I got there just in time to order from the lunch menu before the kitchen closed until dinner. (The restaurant closes each day at 2:30, and reopens at 4:30) It was just a few minutes past 2:00, but my server was helpful enough to let me know that it was last call for lunch orders, and when the kitchen closed, that was it, and she wanted to be sure I got in under the wire. I made a quick decision to have the Sushi Combo, which was miso soup, tuna, salmon, yellowtail and shrimp nigiri, and a California roll or Spicy Tuna roll - which looked like a good deal at $9.50. For my roll, I wanted to have a spicy tuna hand roll instead of the standard roll. The server said that was no problem. I also asked it she could be sure it was spicy, and she indicated again, no problem. My miso soup arrived within moments. It was pretty basic, but met my needs. My sushi also arrived quickly. The fish tasted fresh, and even the shrimp, which I am not generally a big fan of, was good. My spicy tuna hand roll started off ok, although I could see, and taste with my first bite that siracha had been used to supply the heat. I don't have an objection to siracha, but in most spicy tuna I have historically had, the heat has been supplied by chili oil, which adds heat without the tuna flavor being drowned out as it was with the siracha in this case. By the time I got 1/2 way into my hand roll, all I could taste was siracha. I had to drizzle a bit of soy sauce with wasabi into the roll to offset the overwhelming siracha taste with a different and less sweet element. I know the next time to request that siracha be kept to a minimum, and that chili oil be used for heat. I believe Bei will be able to accommodate that request. On this visit, everything happened so fast that I was finished with my lunch in about 15 minutes. My server assured me that I could take my time, and that only the food order was time sensitive, but since I was finished, I requested my check anyway. It was a pretty quick lunch - in and out in 20 minutes! Still, I will be going back again soon. The service was great, and Bei is accommodating. I'll bet they can prepare me exactly the spicy tuna roll that I want! Also, my prior meal with them was excellent. For the money, my lunch was a great deal! Next time, the Sashimi Combo!

    My boyfriend and I went here for the first time over this past weekend. It was great sushi and great service! The prices are fare, and the quality of the fish is good. The restaurant itself is small and casual. We shared a golden philly roll and I think it may have been the best sushi I've ever tried. We will definitely be coming back here again :)

    I was here for happy hour recently and was impressed. It's a bright modern look with plenty of windows and TVs all around. The happy hour prices were very good. I enjoyed the gyoza, Las Veags roll and Volcano roll in particular. I'd definitely come back again.

    Favorite low key sushi place in Scottsdale. Never had a bad experience. Get the teriyaki salmon entree. Once you get that you have trouble ordering anything else.

    Who would've guessed that the name of this restaurant, Bei (ç±³), can be translated as "America" or "rice"? As it turns out, this is quite fitting since they serve very Americanized sushi rolls. If you're looking for gourmet specialty sushi rolls with high-end ingredients, Bei is not for you. However, if you want really awesome happy hour prices and don't mind imitation crab and you're a big fan of California rolls, then Bei has you covered! We tried the Alaska Roll ($6.50) made with fresh salmon, crab mix, and avocado; the Volcano Roll ($9.95) which is a California Roll topped with a baked fish, crab mix, spicy alioli, eel sauce, and scallions; and the Philly Roll ($6.5) made with fresh salmon, cream cheese, and avocado. The rolls that we sampled were good, but as another reviewer mentioned, the California roll is over-represented on the menu as a base for the majority of the rolls. This is a shame because the the true freshness and deliciousness of the tuna and salmon were overpowered by the imitation crab mix. Next time, I will stick to the sashimi and specialty sashimi entrees because I think that is where Bei really shines when it comes to their sushi offerings. I look forward to returning to try the Korean BBQ, Ramen Noodles, and Noodle combos. Also, I appreciate that Bei offers some more interesting sushi options for vegetarians as well. I've never seen a sweet potato roll on a sushi menu before, but it sounds delicious!

    Definitely liked this place after trying it for the first time the other day, I would definitely suggest going during their happy hour because their rolls are much cheaper, also their happy hour menu changes each month, so it's always something new! I made sure I checked in to get the free miso soup...score! This place is surprisingly much bigger on the inside than I was expecting. They have somewhat of a segregated bar area, booths, and sushi bar seating. We ordered the Alaskan roll, the Nebraska roll, Philadelphia roll and spicy salmon roll. The only one I wasn't really pleased with was the Nebraska roll because I felt it was somewhat over seasoned and soggy. I really liked the fresh rolls though! The Philadelphia had big chunks of meat in each piece (unlike some restaurants I've experienced out in AZ). The salmon was very fresh and we got a lot of it. I read about some of the 12-15 dollar rolls, they sound delicious! But I just can't bring myself to pay that. I am cheap. Hahahaa We did get to watch some drama unfold between a server and one of the new sushi chefs. So free entertainment while we ate. I'm definitely coming back though!

    Service was ok, not very good but not terrible. The sushi was pretty good but I've had better. The decor and feeling of the restaurant is kind of shab and not too warm or welcoming. Pretty much an average experience with average food and normal sushi prices. Worth going if you're in the area and are craving sushi but there are definitely much better places with comprable pricing, i.e. sushi 101, sake bomber, kabuki, etc...

    Bei is a cute little Asian fusion spot on the border of Scottsdale and Tempe. They serve up everything from sushi, Korean bulgogi, ramen, and other noodle plates. I came here on a Friday night and the place was popping. We had to wait couple of minutes for my seat with some of my mates which is fine. The place itself is decked out pretty hip and fun. We ordered some food off the happy hour to start; edamame, Spicy Tuna, Volcano, and California. Needless to say it wasn't anything special to start with. Then again it was just starters, but in the end we didn't think it was something we couldn't get anywhere else. We moved on with some entrees. My mate ordered the Sashimi platter while I shot for the Goshujang Pork; a spicy marinated pork dish with white rice as a side. It did come along with some tempura vegetables and a miso soup. In the end, it was a lot of bang for your bucks I tell ya! The entree definitely needed some texture since it was a mesh of tender pork, onions, and some scallions on a sizzling hot plate as a came straight out of the kitchen! Overall, the food here is pretty good, but again nothing too special. The place seems pretty cool for a quick happy hour bite and drink. The service was pretty slow in my opinion since we had to wait for our edamame twice! - Enjoy!

    Second visit today, first was for lunch and while I don't recall what the menu name was it was a combo teriyaki dish. Today was a happy hour stop, rolls were good (I had the yellowfin), restaurant was clean and well/run staffed, prices were fair and I like that there's separation between the bar area and the dining area which seemed popular with groups/families and those that wanted a sit down dinner.

    I was impressed. Went with my daughter for dinner on a Friday night. Got seated right away and we ordered everything that sounded good - California rolls, Spicy Salmon Roll, Fried Tofu appetizer, Bulgoki beef, miso soup... Everything was delicious except the Bulgoki beef. Didn't like the texture or flavor at all. Told the waiter and he was so great about taking it back and removing it from our bill. Will come back!

    BEST SUSHI IN ALL OF PHOENIX/SCOTTSDALE!!!!!! Tried many places all over the area, none top this. Service was amazing, sushi was amazing and came out so quickly! I can't believe it's taken 5 years for is to find this place. Will definitely be back soon!

    This is THE best sushi I've ever had. They have very very generous portions, and great prices. The octopus is delicious. But my favorite of the night was the scallop roll. The service was good, it was pretty dead in there when we came in and we got attended to very quickly. Even when the place started getting busy our server Gary was excellent. Will definitely be coming here again, hopefully sooner than later.

    Extremely unpleasant experience. AVOID. After reading the reviews about this place I thought it was worth a shot. The sushi was basic at best. Ordered the Alaskan role as the server had recommended it, needless to say it was not good. The spicy tuna tasted fishy and the roll was just not good to the taste. Upon sending it back the restaurant owner JT came over to ask me about why I didn't like it. I politely responded with what I thought and left it at that. He then proceeded to ask me if I had ever been to his restaurant and explained that all spicy tuna recipes are different. I told him that was fine and said I didn't like it. A few moments later he returned to our table to continue on about spicy tuna recipes and how many people order that role and never complain. I couldn't believe this fellow was arguing with me about a roll. When the bill arrived I asked the server about the charge - I didn't care about the cost, but the principal. JT came over and explained that his restaurant policy is that if you order it you pay for it. This roll was recommended by the server, and I explained that when something doesn't taste good most restaurant owners would encourage guests to say something. He argued with me so much so that I had to tell him that he was being quite rude and I asked that he please run my card five times. He made a huge scene and would not stop talking about his policy. I would never recommend someone come here - Heaven forbid the food is terrible, management doesn't care because you ordered it and it isn't their fault. Buyer beware. Avoid this place.

    While visiting the greater Phoenix area for a work trip, we decided to see what all the hype was about at the Bei sushi bar in Scottsdale. Chalk one up for the away team for a great choice! First of all, the atmosphere was super cool. You know how a lot of sushi places are like super quiet (almost library quiet)? Well, think cool sports bar, meets hip sushi restaurant, meets fun weeknight hangout with friends, and that would sum it up. There were lots of tv's to watch sports, nice bar area and a comfortable dining area. Service was very friendly and quick, and the sushi cooks were as fast as ninjas! Now, let's get to the best part: the sushi. We had the Vegas roll, Crazy Alaska roll, Tuna Lover and one other which I can't remember the name. All the fish was very fresh and bursting with flavor. Usually when I go for sushi, I get a bit tired of at least one of the rolls that I order. Tonight was an exception to that. The last bite was just as delicious as the first, and we even considered ordering a few rolls to-go. Overall, this was a solid experience and I would definitely return. Thanks Bei!

    Seaweed salad and mackerel nigiri were fantastic. Salmon nigiri was not the best cut of fish. Ponzu sauce was some of the best I've had in a while. Would definitely come back next time I'm in town.

    I love Bei. It's a friendly neighborhood bar and sushi restaurant, and the owners/staff will make your experience a great one. They are fun, friendly and will encourage you to join in on some late night karaoke as well as give you recommendations of their favorite options on the menu. They have every kind of seating imaginable (I love having those options), TVs (and will change the channel if you ask nicely), live music (on the weekends) and Happy Hour specials! My boyfriend and I ordered a bottle of sake there, and it came in a really cool ice bucket which made us happy. Get the stuffed mushrooms and thank me later. Oh yeah, and for Vegans they have Vegan options! : ) Head over to Bei, and have a good time. You won't be disappointed.

    Been craving sushi all week and after a 9 hour day on my feet I needed it. I've seen this place before and we finally took the plunge!! So worth it! We were seated right away and had great customer service. The tuna lovers roll is the shiz and I would come back just for that! Happy hour options are also bomb dot com.

  • Leslie M.

    I decided to head down here since I was in the area and I had a sushi craving at 9pm. The place was not hard to find and there was plenty of parking. We walk in and it was not what I expected - picture a bar type atmosphere, dark, and not very classy - but it's cool, I wasn't looking for a five star restaurant anyway. There were two big groups of people seated at the bar loud as hell - maybe they were drunk or maybe they were just happy since it was a Saturday night, but I didn't mind much. The restaurant had a late night happy hour. We ordered the shrimp dynamite roll and Nebraska roll. Both were good, but the rolls tasted pretty similar to each other. The check came to $25. The service was quick, easy and painless.

  • Kate K.

    They're inching on "meh" territory now... Took a friend and shared my praise for Bei. We had overly bland service (I'm sorry, were we keeping you from something honey) which turned into bizarre service. As we were down to merely nibbling on food, my dining mate ordered another cocktail. Apparently we were expected to chug the drinks, pay, and then get the f outta there in 3 minutes. Because as we continued to talk, every little item on our table was meticulously rearranged, talked about, and eventually removed. Hours before they were to close, and with plenty of other folks in the restaurant (it was maybe 8:45), we both had to move around the waiters coming to take the condiments off the table, as if they were cleaning up and we had clearly overstayed our welcome. If we hadn't just ordered drinks (cost money and can't be taken as to-go drinks of course), or it was late and near closing time, or if the place was packed, we'd have absolutely left. But then, we also wouldn't have ordered more drinks. Altogether, I was embarrassed to have recommended this place for so long, when it left a majorly bitter taste in our mouths. Ra may be corporate but at least they aren't dicks.

    Glad to be back to AZ and craving some sushi. Once my father told me "if you want fresh fish, eat at the coast, you won't find fresh fish in the desert" I guess times have changed. The place looks nice, on a strip mall, the ambiance is kind of cold, seamed to me like of a old breakfast place. I sat at the bar that is oddly positioned at the entrance and at first smelled a bit like floor cleaner The warmth of the place is on the service, fast friendly and with a smile. My beer was cold, off to a good start. Menu offers some different spins on the traditional and great variety of dishes without being overwhelming. I ordered some salon sashimi and a couple of different sushi. I was a bit disappointed even though the quality and fat of the fish seemed good it had a slight "fridge" taste. May be the way the store it is not the beast? I don't know nevertheless killed my will to come again Safe yelping

    I've had my fair share of sushi from an arrange of place, but Bei takes the win! Philly rolls are one of my favorite and theirs was so smokey & creamy! Our server was very nice, attentive, and makes one of the best margaritas I've ever had as well. I've never had a marg with sushi before. This was turning a new leaf for me, I can't wait to come back!

    Don't let the location fool you! This spot is awesome from the service to the food! We were in Phoenix for several days on business but made it into a leisure trip at the end. This was the 1st restaurant we went to after finding it here on Yelp. We're sushi snobs (from S.F.) so we were skeptical. But, for what it is, it's great. This is not high end sushi by any means but it's priced right and the venue is casual. We enjoyed our nigori sake with a chefs choice sashimi plate. All of the fish tasted fresh and was tender. We'd come again, for sure!

  • Miranda S.

    I thought I had already found the best sushi in Scottsdale...I thought wrong! My boyfriend and I were seated right away. However, we were quickly forgotten...after 15 minutes we were able to flag down a waiter and get our drink and food orders in. Less than 15 minutes later, our order was brought out and it was absolutely delicious! The sushi was like fish candy to me (the way it should be). We got the California roll (happy hour priced, love that), shrimp tempura roll and calamari roll. When we got our check, our waiter had given us a discount because of our wait, which we appreciated. I'll be bringing my family here in the near future!

  • Kelly H.

    I am very happy that we have a decent and reasonably priced sushi joint in Scottsdale as an alternative to some of the more expensive yet mediocre options in Old Town. Bei is in a very unimpressive strip mall, yet delivers some good eats in a humble setting (read: not much ambiance). I've had enough good and bad sushi to know that "atmosphere" rarely speaks to the quality of fish or talent of the sushi chef. And I like that this is much more laid back and casual than its neighbors to the north. Happy Hour is definitely a bargain with a fairly large window from 4-7pm every day and 9pm to close. The sushi choices on discount are plentiful, though the beverage choices could stand a few more options. I like a good Kirin from time to time, but I really wish they had just one or two craft beer choices or perhaps a decent wine option. I do wish I could rave about the food as many 1-time visitors have, but I'm not quite there yet. The basic rolls and appetizers are done really well. The spicy tuna/salmon are delicious and we loved the calamari appetizer (though please come up with a better sauce than mayo). Basics are awesome, but I'm always looking for some creative specialty rolls that are decently priced and play on great flavors. The specialty roll selection here is a bit unimpressive. A significant portion of them include "crab mix," "spicy crab," or a California roll toped with "xyz" - which we all know is menu-speak for imitation fish + more mayo - and it tastes like it even with quality fish added into/on top of the rolls. The actual fish they serve is wonderful, but why serve so much of it with mock-fish? It's overpowering and distracts from what coule be some very delicious sushi. The service was attentive and friendly from both the bar and table perspectives. I will definitely return to Bei and stick with the basic rolls and sashimi for as much Happy Hour love as I can, but I'm hopeful they'll peel away from a the overabundance of crab mix in favor of the lovely fish they serve.

    My hubby and I moved back to the East Valley after a two year stint in the northwest valley where we were totally obsessed with Yen Sushi at 43rd Ave and Bell. We have been searching for a place to fill Yen's shoes ever since we moved back. We have found our new go-to sushi place. Thank you Bei! The cucumber salad was vinegar-y and delicious and the free check-in miso soup was nicely salty sprinkled with the crunch of scallions. We ordered the Bei roll which was such a pleasant surprise. Every piece of roll was a new adventure because they all have different fish toppings. They have a lot of selections for happy hour rolls as well as drinks . One suggestion: add Sapporo to the happy hour beer selections. Why Kirin and not Sapporo?

    I've been waiting to write Bei a review!!! Bei is one of my favorite Sushi spots in Scottsdale. It's not right in old town which eliminates insane wait times but is equally as delicious if not better. They have a great happy hour and a HUGE menu. From speciality rolls to noodle dishes and fried rice, you aren't limited to eating sushi if you are craving some other type of Asian dish. We love the Las Vegas Roll, Nebraska roll and the Spicy Chicken Noodle Dish. The staff is typically super great, quick and happy to have you as a customer. I agree with the other reviews, the actual restaurant isn't fancy and it's located in a plaza on Scottsdale Rd. but you absolutely wont' regret visiting!

    They have a pretty great happy hour. An amazing deal was their small bottle of peach saki on happy hour. It was surprisingly great tasting and not too sweet. Just trust me and order it! We ordered the Salmon Kama appetizer, the Bei stuffed mushroom appetizer, and quite a few rolls. Both appetizers were plentiful and very good!

  • Rich Y.

    Charsiu ramen and bulgogi at the same time?! You got it, Bei. I like these combination places that don't bleed flavors from one cuisine to the other. Bei does it correctly. My ramen was distinctly ramen and the bulgogi for the table was properly marinated and sliced. At some other places that don't do it correctly, any sliced and marinated beef could be teriyaki or bulgogi or beef and broccoli. The table behind mine had a great time with their rolls and you can tell from the other reviews that sushi is a hit here. I think Bei is a well-rounded option for Korean and Japanese food if you or your party can't decide on just one genre. Rich's recommendation: come with friends and order to share. It's rare that you can get good Korean and Japanese food in one spot.

    3.5 stars The husband and I went for Christmas dinner because we had cooked up a storm for our Christmas Eve feast with our sister & brother in law. It was just the two of us and we were both craving sushi. The rolls are on the pricier side but they were pretty good. The fish wasn't the freshest but overall was decent. The service was a bit slow considering there weren't that many tables.

    A more than decent place to grab some sushi on the cheap. The tempura jalepeño appetizer was our favorite. The Las Vegas and Tuna Lover rolls were both delicious, and service was quick and efficient. I would definitely return when visiting the Scottsdale area.

    The wonderful reviews of Bei were all of a sudden verified when we walked through the doors to multiple staff members looking up from what they were doing to smile and greet us. Our server, Manami, was so friendly! After we had narrowed down our selections to the Arizona and Volcano rolls, she suggested the Checkerboard Roll, which was the piece de resistance of the evening! The combination of the tuna, Escolar, shrimp tempura, and wasabi aioli was absolutely delicious and I look forward to having it again soon. Thank you for the great service and delicious food!

  • Jill C.

    (My Mobile Tip) Wow. These guys are seriously friendly! I have like 4 different menus to take back to work. I ordered the lunch special - Chicken Teriyaki Box - $7.25. You get a lot of food for the price you pay! The chicken teri was not overly sweet or breaded. The dumplings (goyza) or some may refer to this as potstickers, were steamed/pan fried. J would have loved them. I'm not really a big fan of potstickers. The sauce was not the traditional scallion dipping sauce, but a soy citrus sauce. Standard fare with the california roll and veg tempura. I will say that the tempura was not greasy, which was a good thing. And the house salad came with an awesome ginger dressing. When I got back to work and started eating at my desk, I had quite a few colleagues ask where I went and that it smelled fantastic. I'll have to admit, I did "stink" up the area. It smelled awesome! OH - I noticed that they have high chairs in their restaurant, so that tells me that the place is toddler friendly. Which for a mom, that is very important. Not always can you find a babysitter. I'm sure J, Little C, and I will stop by one evening for an early supper. :)

    I love bei. I go to bei at least twice a week. Tonight, however, I was very disappointed. I called at 10:35 and asked for two spicy tuna bowls to go. I always order these usually around 10:45. However, I was told by Chris that the kitchen had close only a couple minutes before and there was nothing he could do. I told him I've never had a problem. He said there was nothing he could do again very unsympathetic. As a loyal customer, who has never had this issue with such matter you can see why I am disappointed. I had to come to RA instead. I don't know but I don't think it takes very much to make a spicy tuna bowl seeing how the sushi rice is usually in stand by as well as the spicy tuna. So sad dunno when I will return.

    Went here for happy hour-good drink specials. Went with my Japanese friend, always a good idea in these places. Well, we both loved it. I had the spicy udon dish which was awesome. The noodle soup was also good. Sushi was good and fresh. The bartender was molasses in January slow, so wave your arms wildly and you WILL get her attention. They were actually very busy, mainly young couples and the mood was good. I will go again, try some more of that sushi!

    Ordered take out and they told me 15 minutes so I arrived on time but had to wait about 5 extra minutes which wasn't a big deal. I had two rolls both were fresh, they lacked a bit of flavor but nothing some soy sauce can't fix. Will be back.

    I went here for a quick lunch take out and got the Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box, so my review isn't about the sushi really. But it was really really good, and it was a ton of food and I was super impressed. It came with the chicken, rice, California roll (4 pc), gyoza (2 pc), vegetable tempura (sweet potato, zucchini, mushroom, onion), and a house salad with really good Asian dressing. All for $7.50! The chicken teriyaki was mixed with different vegetables and was good. The veggie tempura was probably my favorite. Even though I got it to go and it was at least 15 min to get back to the office and start eating, the tempura was still crispy and warm and was really good. I couldn't even finish everything. When I picked it up I was greeted right away and my food was ready in very quickly. The service was nice and I have no complaints. I will definitely be back!

    What a fun night out! Bei has a great sushi selection, and it was hard for me to choose! Eventually, I narrowed it down to the calamari roll, which was delicious. My mom, who had told me she wasn't a fan of sushi, even ate a few pieces of my roll. I also loved the coconut shrimp, which was served with a delicious spicy sauce. Service was lovely, and the tea was superb. I highly recommend stopping by Bei if you want some good Japanese food!

    Originally I was skeptical of this place because of the exterior appearance. However, I should not have judged this book by its cover. The service was exceptional. The sushi was fresh and delicious. The decor inside was very modern and clean. The only reason I did not give this a 5 star is because I have not had enough time to try more on the menu or let the chefs create their own off the menu plates. I will definitely return here.

    This place is simply fantastic. The sushi is excellent, service is top notch, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for good food in the Scottsdale area. We had numerous items including nearly all of the sashimi, both of their signature rolls, and some sampling a of nigiri. In addition, the staff allowed us a few samples of other things including a dessert rice pudding that is to die for. It's still early in the day, and what a great time to come in, no one is here so u get special attention! Can't say enough good things about this little joint and if I'm back in Phoenix, it will be a stop. Come in, have some sushi, and sit at the bar if u can, current bartender is a good conversationalist and pretty easy on the eyes.

    I am happy to find this place. First because I know the owner from the past and he's a really cool guy. But I didn't know that he owns this place until I came in and devoured every sushi roll. haha. We came after Happy Hours so our bill was on the pricey side. But looks like happy hour menu is not bad, drinks are pretty good. I love the yogurt martini, Korean signature. :) Sushi was awesome. portion was very generous.High quality rice and fish, veggies were fresh. The ambience is great. it's a huge restaurant! you have separated sushi bar area, dinning area and sport area, at least that's how I felt anyways. I guess the only one thing I think Bei can improve is the hostess. The guy clearly didn't know what he was doing, I am sorry. He seems sort of frustrated even though the restaurant wasn't that packed when we got there. The bartender girl was nice, but obviously was irritated by the hostess, and that showed. Good restaurant, good food. Perfect for a Friday night get-together. :)

    Love love love this place. My new spot. Such amazing options to choose from and all very decently priced. I enjoyed the yellowtail sashimi with FRESH wasabi! Greg happy hour as well. The style inside is like a local old school sushi joint- very cool.

    For a sushi restaurant so far from the coast, the sushi here was super-fresh, served fast and the staff was friendly. We sampled from the late night happy hour menu--good value. It was delicious, and we will be back!

    Excellent sushi, friendly staff. Not the fanciest joint in the world, but the food speaks for itself. The lunch specials are priced very well. I'm looking forward to trying this place at night. Well done, Bei!

    I really like it here. The music, the tv's, the seating. The sushi rolls are always good, our favorite specialty roll is the Dynomite. We've gotten that a few times. Happy Hour prices are great too!

  • Kate B.

    Okay, I really like this place! It is about a mile away from my house, friendly service, and the food is great. Their happy hour can't be beat! My only gripe: I called in a take-out order last night and was told that orders were taking longer than usual and it would be a half hour. "No problem!" I said. I showed up almost exactly 30 minutes later, and I waited for at least another 20-30 minutes in the restaurant. I totally understand that it's a Friday night and things are busier than usual, but if that's the case week after week, plan for it! Hire a few more sushi chefs on the weekends to not keep so many people waiting. There were 4 other customers waiting for their to-go orders along with me. It was a bummer! Despite the long wait, I will go back (but dine in).

    I finally got to try Bei out this past weekend and had a great experience. We went on a Friday night and were greeted with a friendly welcome and got a table right away. We got an order of the spring rolls, I got the citrus ahi tuna sashimi, and my boyfriend got their chicken katsu bowl. The spring rolls and the bowl came out right away. The spring rolls were delicious. I'm usually not a fan of them, but these were crispy and had just the right amount of vegetables. It wasn't greasy or heavy. I tried the chicken katsu and it was really good too. Unfortunately, my ahi took some time to come out. However, it was definitely worth the wait. The tuna was super fresh and I loved the citrus ginger sauce on it and the avocados. I will definitely be back just for that! The prices are very reasonable and they also have lunch specials and happy hour. They have a pretty extensive menu so I'm sure there's something for everyone, even if you're not a fan of sushi.

    Solid!! This is a pretty no frills place that isn't very fancy and for the most part could be a Denny's with Sushi but the Sushi is top notch. Really reasonable as well. Especially for happy hour. Things I loved: vegas rolls, spicy tuna, unagi, stuffed mushrooms Thing I probably wouldn't get again: gyoza, tootsie roll I think I've found my new favorite happy hour sushi place

    First, let me confirm that this establishment has not 1, but 2 restrooms. One for ladies and one for men. A fellow Yelper and I exchanged messages about this before I went because that Yelper's review states that Bei does not have a restroom for customers. It does. The sign out front is for non-customers. I snapped a pic of the restroom sign as evidence for others reading reviews and considering this establishment----- because I almost bypassed this restaurant because of that Yelper's information. I hope this helps. Lately, I have been into Ramen and brothy soups in general. Miso, shrimp and pork ramen to be specific. Take a look at the picture of my Ramen yelp.com/biz_photos/bei-… and view the pic of the Ramen posted by Yelper Britt C. yelp.com/biz_photos/bei-… They look quite different. Mine had a few tiny pieces of meat, a limited amount of veggies and lacked adequate broth. I hated it! I can honestly say the 25 cent pack of ramen I made in college was better! The veggies tasted canned. I expected a nice piece of pork in the Ramen like the aforementioned picture by Britt C, but there were only a few flavorless tiny pieces. A well known improvisational restaurant, that has monthly ramen nights, down the street has ruined my palate to tolerate ramen any place else. I can not say how much I hated that dish! I ordered a spicy sushi roll that I split with a fellow Yelper. Decent roll. I would like to try the Bei roll one day. I went here with the international lunch group that I organize. Everyone else ordered a bento lunch box. They were all happy with their lunch and had a consensus 3 star meal. There were 6 of us, we were automatically charged a 20% gratuity. I don't know if this is normal for everyone or if that is the case for groups. It was not printed on the menu. It aggravated me, but alas wasn't a big deal. They should print that on their menu. 2 stars - I hated my dish. Because the location is cool for me for easy access to sushi in SoScott, but considering the proximity of other sushi restos that I like better: Return Factor: 15%, .

    I recently visited this restaurant and was exceptionally pleased by the experience. I am always looking for new places to enjoy sushi, and saw the reviews on here were nearly flawless. Obviously I had my doubts that this was clearly a manufactured coincidence so I had to do some investigating of my own. To my surprise though BEI justified it's reviews. I ordered yellow tail sashimi, very large and fresh pieces were presented elegantly within minutes of placing my order. Next the three rolls I ordered came out in a timely fashion. One at a time and almost as soon as I finished the previous roll. I've recently experienced a different situation at another local sushi restaurant where my food was brought out with absolutely no order. Dinner first then, last appetizers and when I ordered another roll it took about 30 minutes to arrive. The three rolls I ordered were the ASU, Tuna Lover and my new favorite roll The Checkerboard roll. The wasabi aioli sauce on top of the Checkerboard roll was to die for. I highly recommend it. Also as many other people have commented about and I feel must be address is the quality of service. Everyone was extremely nice, polite, and knowledgable. It's clear their employes love working there and when I asked how long they have been in business, accompanied with a large smile, I received a very confident and prideful response of 13 weeks today. I rarely frequent restaurants but this one is sure be see the likes of me in the near future Advice to you, Give this place a shot and what ever you do, try anything with their aioli sauce.

    Came here for my birthday dinner earlier this month since this place has almost 5 stars and figured it would surely be a great experience. There were 5 or 6 other parties dining in addition to my 2 person party (it was not a busy night by any means). It took almost 15 minutes for our waiter to even greet us. I mean it was to the point of getting really awkward and I almost walked back up the hostess to ask if we could please just get some water. Finally ordered some water and two mixed drinks. After nearly 10 more minutes, ONE of the mixed drinks arrived. Another 5 or 7 minutes go by and I ask our waiter if my drink is coming and he said 'oh yes it's on it's way'. I get my drink a few more minutes later (it only had 2 ingredients according to the menu) so I assume he forgot about it somehow. Then I ask if we can please get the waters also (at this point we had been there for more than 30 min). We ordered our food and it arrived in an appropriate amount of time. The sushi was good and the green tea tempura ice cream was good too. It's just such a shame that the service was so awful. We had at least 3 different waiters including, I think, a bus boy at one point who clearly didn't have experience waiting tables. What gave that away was when he stopped by our table and pointed at my drink and said "is that thing any good?" Just a really strange dining experience and the wait staff seem really lost and confused.

    Excellent Addition to SoDo! My boyfriend and I ate at Bei for the first time last night, and we were pleasantly surprised. We have been long time patrons on Sushi 101, but I believe Bei is equally as satisfying, if not better. The happy hour sushi menu is incredible. Their specialty rolls are the most reasonably priced sushi you will find at any happy hour. We ordered the Las Vegas roll, for just under $7, and it was phenomenal in appearance, size, and flavor! All of the rolls we ordered, including the basic spicy tuna roll, were very generously portioned, and I am not just talking about extra rice to make them appear larger. The fish was supplied in large quantities/cuts, and was fresh and flavorful. When we first entered the establishment, we were immediately greeted and ushered in by the owners/managers with warm smiles and great attitudes. Our waitress Brittany was equally enthusiastic and good-natured, providing suggestions and attention to our needs. I also ordered the house sake, which came in a smaller sized bottle, but still amounted to three shots, and for $2.50, I have no complaints! The sake was the perfect temperature and went down smoothly. They also offer sake bombs for $6.95 during all business hours, instead of limiting the special to happy hour. There was live music when happy hour ended at 7, but the ambiance was relaxing and the tunes weren't overbearing. I will definitely return to this establishment in the future, and recommend it to anyone looking for some great sushi in SoDo (SoSco? Or whatever they end up labeling Scottsdale south of Indian School...)! P.S. Our waitress pronounced it as 'Bay'

  • Maria C.

    Over priced sushi.Nothing special. The place is cute. I ordered the Asu roll and when I took a bite I immediately wanted to spit it back out. The Vegas roll was disproportionate and soggy. The spicy tuna roll tasted like every other place. Besides the music I couldn't find anything else I could enjoy.

    We are huge sushi and Japanese food lovers from California so we were a little nervous to try sushi during a recent trip to Scottsdale. We need not have worried. The sushi and the hot entrees were absolutely delicious! We were greeted by a smiling, friendly host and our waitress was kind, friendly and extremely fast and efficient. Best of all, the food was excellent. My husband's sushi was fresh and delicious, while my son's yakitori and tempura were also wonderful. I ordered the chicken terriyaki bowl and loved the sauce as well as all the fresh veggies that accompanied it. Overall we were very impressed and would go back the next time we are in Scottsdale - it has made it onto our favorites list for sure!

  • Jack T.

    The service is great. Helpful and expedient wait staff. Water is always filled and they take the time to answer any question you may have about the restaurant. The best thing here is the sushi. The seafood is fresh and portions large. They have a wide assortment of different types of sushi to fulfill your every desires. Hope they start expanding to more exotic types of seafood. I've tried some of their other dishes like the noodles . It's okay, but you would be better off going to a noodle shop. Likewise on some of their other entrees which are good, but nothing special.

  • George A.

    Honestly, my experience here was so quick & I didn't try anything except for a few basic rolls, but I like what I saw & ate, and based on that I'd definitely come back. Bei is probably the closest sushi place to my house & sushi is one of those things I don't eat often, but when I crave it, I CRAVE it. I wish this place had a website because I got takeout. I decided to just to stop in, order, and wait. The place itself was spacious & seemed nice enough to dine in at. Since I was trying this place for the first time I ordered three basic rolls as a "test." I got a CA roll, Philly roll & honestly I don't remember exactly what the third roll was except that it was a pretty basic shrimp tempura roll. The fish tasted fresh in all three. I was just testing this place for future reference, and it passed. I'd especially come back for Happy Hour. I believe it runs everyday (maybe not Sun?), and goes from 4:30-7:30. There are several rolls for under 3 bucks. There aren't a lot (any, really) sushi options in this area, which makes Bei even more appealing.

  • Travis B.

    our neighbors use to run Lao Thai, the restaurant that use to be here. they had one of the best asian fish dishes in the valley. Now this new place, BEI is here and i'm thinking "when did this happen"? i was VERY skeptical at first, especially when i saw so many yelp reviews with 5 stars, most from people with 1 friend/1 review or 66 friends/0 reviews. i appreciate elite reviewers for the most part and there weren't many. anyway, it was late and we didn't want a sit down dinner so i stopped by for a takeout order. the place was quite full on the wednesday before thanksgiving. the staff greeted me with open arms...very friendly. i was given a full menu and a sushi menu. the sushi menu is large and even has sashimi. i ordered a salmon and tuna sashimi. i thought both were very good...nice big cuts, fresh, and very smooth on the palate. also ordered a seafood udon soup dish. although the portion was large and overflowing with those delicious noodles, they were WAY skimpy on the seafood. one mussel, 2 shrimp, and about 5 baby scallops. for 10 bucks, i expected a bit more seafood because i know udon noodles are cheap. this brought the stars to 3 unfortunately. the rest of their menu looked good and apparently they have a great happy hour. when we go for a sit down and try something else, maybe i too will be on of the multiple 5 star reviewers.

    The worst sushi and sashimi and overall service I been to in AZ. Food is terrible. Trust me I am Asian and I know what good Asian cuisine is. Owner is very nice but that's it. Don't stop and keep driving. It's a waste of ur hard earned money.

  • Preston C.

    I absolutely love sushi places So when I saw this one pop up I was anxious to try it After seeing the near perfect yelp reviews I was super excited and was anxious to see what I would think of it We went on a Friday evening and it wasn't very busy so it was good Upon arrival the staff was super friendly Greeting us as we walked in We were given a booth table to sit at and our server welcomed us We were given water and two great menus They have a ton of options for food and drinks It was happy hour when we got there and we notice that the items were super cheap, so of course we hit that up We got Two miso soup bowls The fried Calamari One California roll One tootsie roll One shrimp tempura The soup was nice and warm; it also had a lot of flavor The calamari was the best that I had ever had... Usually restaurants give you little fried rings and stuff but BEI gives you big long 3-4 inch pieces that are really, really good The sauce that comes with the calamari is great as well Both of the sushi rolls were very yummy and very fresh The rice on both rolls were sticky and the ingredients were good The shrimp tempura was really good too Our server was very attentive and knowledgable of the menu This isn't much of a bad opinion/con but the inside of Bei is kind of drab and could use some better interior decorations This didn't bug me at all since I know that it is a new place and I am sure once they get a bigger clientele and revenue that they will add some nice touches Just a hint that don't let the interior fool you, the food is great and the service is great I will be back BEI

    My wife and I stopped at Bei for a late lunch and were blown away by both the quality and prices. The sushi was exceptional and the happy hour prices were unbelievable. I have happily paid more money for lower quality sushi in the past. We will definitely be coming back here as often as possible.

    Fresh, delicious, and service is amazing. I've come here a few times for happy hour and it's always above par. We've ordered the lollipop roll, salmon sashimi, volcano roll, and a few other bites. The lollipop is my favorite and go to roll. This place will not disappoint!

    This place was delicious. The service was awesome. My husband and I had an aloe beitini and a Kirin. My tini was amazing. So refreshing! You couldn't taste the alcohol at all. We had the Bei special roll, a red dragon, and a volcano roll. They were all fabulous. We had our 11 month old daughter with us, and they were so attentive to her. They brought us miso soup and a small bowl of steamed rice, complementary. She loved it. Total, we spent just over $43 plus a tip. We will definitely be back and we can't wait have family come to visit so we can take them too

    This is my review/what I wrote to the management (and they never responded) Hello Bei representative, Myself and my wife recently visited your restaurant and I am shocked and horrified to inform you of our experience. We were kindly and quickly greeted and seated and it was down hill immediately once our server took over. Our server, Cody, took approximately 10 minutes to arrive, greet us and take our drink order. His poor and careless attitude were immediately made clear to us. He took our drink order and vanished for an overly extended period of time. Eventually, another waiter noticed something was not right and came over to check on us and brought us our drinks. The waiter then went and found Cody, who then came over and took our food order with his poor attitude and rude demeanor. We were a little confused about the menu pricing so Cody informed us that "the management does not know what they are doing and won't change the menu to be clear to customers". That was a very disrespectful comment about his superiors (regardless of the situation) and quite shocking to us. Here is where things become horrific. From where we were seated, we could see inside the kitchen (behind the black curtain) and witnessed Cody sitting on the counter-tops and sneakily eating edamame where customer's food comes out. As we continued to watch, we learned that Cody was actually eating food off customer's plates before he would bring the dish to the customer's table. This is absolutely horrendous, disgusting and unacceptable so I decided to both photograph and film these acts. I was praying that he would have been filled with food by the time our food was prepared so he would not eat off of our plates. Cody did in fact eat off of our appetizer plate (edamame) and I was so upset that I decided not to confront anybody during our visit. We did not touch our appetizer and the entire experience was horrific. I am writing to tell you this now and I request that action be taken on this matter. Thanks in advance for your attention to this matter.

    Very tasty Japanese food for Arizona. The miso soup was too salty, but the Tuna Lover roll and Yakitori were good. Don't make the mistake of coming during peak hours. The Happy Hour is such a good deal you will be kicking yourself for not coming in earlier or waiting a little bit longer to eat and drink.

    I went to Bei yesterday with the family after a failed attempt at going to Totties (that is sort of another story, but some people had been waiting there over an hour.. yikes!). Anyway, My dad, stepmom, husband, and I arrived here at around 12:45 and it was fairly empty. My dad and I split the noodle and rice bowl combo (this thing is huge... like 2 full entrees) with the spicy chicken noodles and the spicy pork bowl and . The husband had the beef teriyaki bowl and my stepmom got the tempura bento box. The gyoza was pretty standard... like the frozen type, not awesome. The salad had a fairly good ginger dressing on it, but too much of it... like a pool at the bottom. I thought the spicy chicken noodles were very tasty, just the right balance of sweet and spicy on thick noodles with vegetables and chicken. The spicy pork was even better, it was spicy and had the right amount of sauce to rice ratio... I liked both very much. The rest of the food was fairly mediocre. Anyway, I would consider going back for the items I ordered, but probably wouldn't get the other items.

  • G. S.

    UPDATE: I absolutely LOVE this place and have to admit I feel a little down writing about the last 2 experiences I've had, considering how I've become a die-hard regular. In hopes that you will not go through the same experience, I am writing this more as a warning. My boyfriend and I walked in there on a Saturday evening, we were greeted right away, as usual, by the kind Asian man, who we believe is the owner. We sat at our usual high-top table, and waited...waited... waited for about 7 minutes (very unusual) for our server to greet us and bring us menus. When we came over, we immediately realized it was the same waiter we had the last time we had a negative experience. With no enthusiasm he brought us menus and left. Didn't offer us a drink until the second time he came around. After he brought us our drinks he went about his runs, and forgot about us. Finally, he came back to our table and ASSUMED we wanted the sashimi combo and was about to run to put it in when we quickly told him we were trying new things. We put in an appetizer (Salmon Kama), and 4 other rolls. Everyone else brought us our food instead of our waiter. What ENRAGED me is that I saw him SMOKING OUT OF AN E-CIGARETTE PEN BY THE BAR!!!! Also, we NEVER got our appetizer. Apparently, the waiter never put it in seeing that the Asian man had to ask us what we ordered. When the Salmon Kama came out, it was DISGUSTING. My boyfriend said it tasted as if they microwaved leftover fish and put it on a plate with cabbage. I have to agree. Only the times we've gotten this server (whom I don't even know his name, Hispanic looking man, with lots of arm tattoos and spiky hair) have been the times we have had bad service, his tip showed how unsatisfied we were, I even wrote him a little comment. Hopefully this will make him fix his style of waitoring to prevent driving customers away. Aside those incidents, the place is still AMAZING. what separates BEI from the surrounding sushi restaurants is their fish. I am always searching for good-tasting sushi spots where you can actually distinguish the fish by taste not just by sight. their fish is excellent, and tastes super fresh. comparable to several upscale sushi restaurants in Miami. simply because of taste, I would choose this place over any of the chains in the Scottsdale area. their customer service is also impressive. everyone, including the owner, are extremely attentive and welcome you enthusiastically. they make sure to ask how your food tasted, and are open for suggestions. you can tell they're in the business because they love Japanese food and the art of sushi, not just to make money and turn it into a chain. the only thing "fishy" (no pun intended) is the area. its located in a shopping strip in south Scottsdale that looks a bit shady during the day, a reason why it took me a little longer to try the place out. I was a bit skeptical. inside is a different story. its very clean, well-maintained and you can tell they put in some work to remodel the place. their specials are amazing as well! they have a few of their specialty rolls as part of their specials and their portions are never skimped. you need to try the BLAZING ALASKA ROLL its definitely my favorite roll on their happy hour menu. if you're a sushi enthusiast, you MUST try this place. I guarantee it becomes one of your favorites

    This was the first time I came here and this place is very deceiving. From the outside it looks like a hole in a wall sushi joint but once you go in boom everything is modern. They have a bar area with TV's to watch the game and then a separate area for dine in. They have a great ambiance and every booth/ table is evenly placed to have the right intimate atmosphere. We came during happy hour and they have a ton of items on the happy hour menu. It ranges from beer, sake bombs, appetizers, nigiri sushi, and some specialty rolls. I extremely was surprised by their stuffed mushroom. It was to die for!!! I loved it so much I had to order it twice. The service was very pleasant. Our waiter was very nice and had a great sense of humor. They made sure my drink never hit the bottom and was very honest with their recommendation on items. Only reason I didn't give it a full 5 star is because I didn't try any nigiri. It's very important to have fresh fish. Next time i go back I will try it but for now 4 star it is!

    I travel to Scottsdale frequently for work and I've had some decent sushi in the area but nothing has come close to Bei sushi. It's definitely comparable to some of the best places that I've been to in NYC. I'm going to give it 5 stars because the food and drinks we're amazing. However, the managers we're too much. They asked me how my food was and I hadn't even had to time take a bite. I can tell they are concerned being a new restaurant but come guys... it makes you look desperate and it seems like people in Scottsdale simply aren't into that. By the time I had my 2nd piece of sushi 3 people had asked me if "everything was alright". What's up with the yelling at everyone when they come in? Please stop. Not sure if I'll return again next time I visit just because I felt a tad uncomfortable but I'll definitely consider it. The sojo drinks we're amazing too. I had two different versions of their Soju cocktails. Aloe and Yogurt. I saw other drinks on their menu and I must say, as a new yorker even, they know what they are doing at the bar. The bartender was also really funny and recommended some fun things to do in the area.

    If you don't eat a lot of sushi then the place is good. But if you can identify quality sushi, this is not the place for you. The venue itself is good, but based on reviews by other people the sushi was a disappointment.

  • Jackie B.

    I am a happy hour junkie and this is probably my favorite place to go. There are so many delicious things to chose from on their happy hour menu! Their Bei stuffed mushrooms and the Las Vegas roll are my favorite. I also loved the Escolar Nigiri when it was on happy hour. I wish they would bring back the Chili Garlic Edamame on happy hour but it was probably too popular. Their house sake is only $2.50 and certain well drinks are only $3.50. I go there so much Chase knows what I want to drink right when I walk in lol. I recently went their during lunch and their lunch specials are also awesome. You can get two basic rolls (includes alaska and tootsie) and a miso soup for $8.95! I wish this place was closer to work so that I could eat it everyday.

    Ok, I'll be the first to say I was underwhelmed by my experience at the new south Scottsdale sushi spot. Our water tasted bad. Lemon or cucumber might have helped, not sure. Spicey Salmon salad looked and tasted funny to both of us. Our last sushi dish came 35 minutes after our first. That is way too long guys. We had been finished for 15 minutes and, had asked for the check when it finally appeared. We took it to go but, they didn't include any soy in the box so, we dumped it. Sake was lukewarm. Service was nice and friendly (thanks Katrina) and the squid salad was good. If this was my only choice, I might try them again but, several high quality spots just 2 miles away.

    Tried the happy hour on a Thursday and got there about 5:30. The place was empty except for another couple that was already there. The place was nice and seemed cleaned. As we were seated I realized how big the place was. There is a alcohol bar near the front and the sushi bar near the rear. We ordered several rolls. Actually ordered 2 too many as we had to take some leftovers to go. The nigiri was good. We also liked the spicy tuna. My wife liked the sweet potato roll which had no fish in it. We liked the chili/garlic edamame and the aloe martini and recommend it.

    Best sushi place around the south Scottsdale area. Make your way out of the trendy "sushi" restaurants in old town and head a bit south to find this gem. Don't be scared of the outside, make your way in to find friendly staff and one of the best sushi jointsin town. We had a large group come in late on a Saturday and the place was empty. Will be nice to see this place fill up once more people hear about it.

My friend and I got to the restaurant during happy hour around 8:50-9PM (keep in mind they're open until 11PM! So we were not the assholes that come in right before you close.). The manager sat us, and our server Carly came over after like 6-7 minutes of nothingness later. When she approached our table, it was clear she had no interest in serving us (I can't fathom why not, considering we were the ONLY table). It took her like 10 minutes to bring us our drinks. Luckily our food came out shortly after in a timely manner. I ordered the sweet potato roll, and it was the last thing to come out. I don't know if you've ever had sweet potato before, but in general they're orange, so seeing that they were clear/translucent was too weird for me. I would have sent it back, but Carly decided talking to her coworkers and ignoring us, even after we were clearly finished, was a better idea! So when she finally came over, I told her she could take it back & that something about it wasn't right. She stood there questioning me like I was on trial about why it wasn't right/what I thought was wrong. If a customer complains, it doesn't matter what the problem was, just take care of it!! So she takes the roll back, while asking the chef behind the counter if he wants to try it to see what he thinks (which he did try it!). UHM WHAT, YOURE GOING TO EAT FOOD OFF OF A CUSTOMER'S PLATE?! I'm sorry, but that's a MAJOR health code violation!!!! She ended up sending the manager over after that, who then further questioned me, but comped it anyway. When we finally looked at the check, some of the dishes weren't correctly priced as they were on the happy hour menu. So my friend approached the counter where she waited.. And waited for Carly to come over so she could show her the receipt's error. When she decided to come help, she tried to argue with my friend over the happy hour menu, saying that "well it changes every month." Well, excuse me, but it was on the menu, and my friend even showed her. She finally fixed it, and by the time she did, we had been waiting close to 10 additional minutes since the manager had been to our table. We spent about an hour and half at this restaurant. Unfortunately, I won't get that time or money back. Do NOT waste yours. Let this be a warning!

    Was a little bit disappointed when we came in and was inform that Lao Thai close down because we personally knew the owner and their food was great but lucky day for us we're also sushi fanatics.Came in at lunch and was greeted right away.Their lunch special is the best deal in town the roll combo was a bargain 16 pieces of sushi for only 9 bucks the alaska and philly roll was definitely fresh and delicious Hung also recommended the chicken vento box to my boyfriend it comes with alot of different variety of food for only 7.25 another bargain to go along with our mai tai's Hung makes the best mai tai's in town! Overall the service was excellent and superb me and my boyfriend will return!

    We're now officially bona fide regulars here. We had previously been in love with Lao Thai (which was here before Bei was) and were pretty surprised to see it gone and replaced once upon a time. Whatever, we thought... may as well go in and try it out. That was 3 months ago, and we have been back at least once every 2 weeks ever since. And every single time, it's got the best and freshest sushi on par with the quality you receive at ShinBay (without the wallet-breaking prices). On top of that, the happy hour specials are awesome, the bar is awesome, and the servers and personnel are awesome (especially Chase and Jun). Bei really quickly won us over and rest assured we will continue to come back here over and over. This place is great

    First. I have to thank our server for accommodating to my shellfish allergy and communication with the kitchen. I know. I know. It seems stupid to go to a restaurant which you are allergic to 3/4 of the menu items and then have them work around it. Good food, HH is amazing and service is beyond point.

    I have been at this restaurant since it opened and their food has always been delicious! Great lunch specials, everything is good but specifically the Salmon combo- it is so tasty and it's a huge portion. The owners are always very nice and give great costumer service. Highly recommended.

  • Randy S.

    my advice to BEI since it sounds like your food is amazing... remodel your bathrooms and keep them clean. didn't stay to try food because this place failed the first test... if you can't keep your bathroom clean and tidy then what does the kitchen look like? Sticky floors=yuck

    This used to be a Restaurant called Lao Thai- which I liked but they recently changed it to a AWESOME Sushi Restaurant called Bei. The atmosphere was very nice and clean. The food was INCREDIBLE at Bei and now I find myself craving it all the time! I must say that it doesn't look like much from the outside. It is in an old strip mall in the "seedy" side of Scottsdale but the food, service and atmosphere was top notch! I highly recommend it! They have a very inviting Sushi Bar and I like the fact that they always have some of sports on the bar flat screen TV. Great place for a first date! The pricing was perfect and I am always full and satisfied when I leave there!

    The food at Bei is AMAZING - I am a huge sushi fan and I would venture to say that the sushi at Bei is the best I've had in Arizona. I came here with a date on Thursday for the first time and the place was lovely. They had live music and a very cool atmosphere; the decor is very pretty. We were impressed! We ordered several rolls, some basic, like the tootsie and the spicy tuna, as well as the dragon and ASU roll. All of them tasted amazing. The ingredients at Bei are INCREDIBLY fresh; the fish is the best quality I've had in AZ and there's a delicious balance and texture to all of it. The rolls themselves were also extremely well-made; very tight and neat. ALSO the green tea ice cream is to die for. We will definitely be returning to Bei. The food came out quickly and, like I've been raving, it is of EXTREMELY high quality. The only blemish on the night was that while the service was relatively speedy, our particular waitress was distant and a little stand-offish; she almost never came to check on our table and when she did, she was cold and walked away almost immediately, before we could even tell her if we needed anything. Other servers who were around, whoever, were very kind and very pleasant, so I won't let that deter me from going back. Viva la Bei!

    We walked into this place about fifteen minutes before they closed the sushi bar, and we are so glad we did! The sushi was absolutely amazing. The customer service was outstanding. They are super friendly and attentive. The only reason they got four stars is because their tuna was ok...I recommend the salmon sushi rolls! Especially the spicy one with jalapeños. we will definitely be going back.

    Excellent happy hour menu! Free Miso Soup with check in. The salmon nigiri sushi off the happy hour menu was soooo melt in your mouth! Reasonable prices and quick service.

    We had a good visit here! I was thinking this was going to be a hip, modern Asian fusion-y type of sushi joint. I think it wanted to be, but the shopping center location and cheap feeling ambiance sort of detracted from that possibility. The food however, is good! I would definitely suggest, if you want a low-key nite, to come here. Everyone liked what they had and the prices were good. The ambiance is nothing special (and the music which attempts to make this place feel hipper than it is, is kind of silly). It's more of a 3.5, but I really liked the food and the price so we'll give it a 4! Nothing too exciting, nice staff, good food...if you are looking for hip, fun vibe, it's not the place...

    Yum yum yum! This place is in a super weird location, but oh my gosh, the sushi is fantastic. I'm not a huge sushi connoisseur, but I eat it from time to time, and the roll I had here was honestly the best sushi roll I've ever had. My husband LOVED his, too, he had the Las Vegas and Golden Philly roll and raved about both. The wait staff is also super nice and attentive. Make sure to go for happy hour, too - fantastic prices on rolls! Can't say anything bad about the place.

    We have been to Bei twice now, and I have to say I hope this little sushi place stays around. The food has been really good on both visits, and I love that they offer a reverse happy hour, as my work schedule doesn't usually allow me to go to normal happy hour. The tuna lovers roll is amazing. Probably my favorite roll I have ever had anywhere! The sashimi prices are a little higher than what I would normally pay at a sushi restaurant. That's my only issue with Bei. The food is great, but the location and decorating/ ambiance of the restaurant aren't the best. The bar area is really dark- yet the dining room is extremely bright. I wish they could dim the lights a little more to give it a better vibe. I don't mind paying higher prices for quality sushi, but not when it's in a run down strip mall with tacky decorating. But we will return! And I probably just sounded super bitchy! Go here! Just don't expect a romantic setting of any sort! Oh and they have a good selection of appetizers! Yum!

    Suuuuper happy about bei. Up until they came into town, my bf and I would drive all the way from n. Scottsdale to Tempe marketplace for kabuki. Bei is easily as good as Kabuki, with super fresh sushi served at the exact right temperature. Very attentive and timely service. I judge a sushi restaurant by the hamachi and sake, and bei passed with flying colors. I'm also thankful they don't overdo the whole Americanized fried rolls with heavy mayo sauces. Always nice to see Mochi ice cream on the menu:)

  • Tara S.

    We ordered sashimi entree and spicy chicken noodle. The noodle was pretty good but the sashimi entree was ridiculous. It's was tiny for 15$ only 5 pieces of sashimi and 12 small pieces of california roll. Also, the fish were thin sliced. It was not worth 15$ for sure. If it was 8$ i won't complain but quality and quantity doesnt match the price.

    Items I highly recommend - lollipop rolls and the stuffed bei mushrooms! We came right during happy hour, server was very attentive and brought all our orders on time. Wish there was a more extensive Japanese beer line up to choose from, however Kirin was good. Parking was a bit difficult, but the food was worth it! You have to visit this restaurant when you're in the Scottsdale area!

    I went to this restaurant on 7/5/2014 and when I went in the atmosphere was nice. However it took a long time for the waiter to come take my order. That's not the worst when I finally got my food and started eating their was a COCK ROACH crawling out of it. It was so disgusting I called the manager over and he saw it crawling around in the food and was grossed out. He said this has never happend and said its because it came from the back kitchen, but he can assure me that he can make me fresh sushi. I said no, I don't won't anything from here ever again. I didn't have to pay the bill, but I just thought you all should know that this restaurant is not sanitary. I will be reporting them to the health department. I've never experienced anything like this.

    Food & service was too notch!! Some of the best sushi I have had in a very long time. If you come, try to get the waiter Hung. He is super nice & has great recommendations. I was a first time customer from out of town. Will for sure be stopping in here each time I'm in Scottsdale!

    Delicious! And great service! And affordable! And a great legitimately Japanese ambiance. All the rolls we had were delicious but the vegetarian sweet potato rolls were surprisingly amazingly good. Happy hour prices were great too. And the man greeting us bowed. Twice. So nice and so Japanese! Loved it.

    This was awesome food and almost more importantly the service was super friendly and crazy fast! Lovely live music was had as well. I very much enjoyed the Blazing Alaska and the stuffed jalapeños. Also the Bei punch, though no doubt enough sugar to kill me, was delicious! First time here and I'll be back! Good times

    This is a cool little place, that was nicely redone when it became B.E.I. The staff is very friendly, the food is fast and delish, happy hour is good but limited. The staff is very friendly and on top of things. We were greeted several times walking in the door and were waited on / bussed by a few different people, but knew who are true server was. Our drinks were always full and we felt very welcomed. I have had several of the Sushi rolls, the yakisoba, spring rolls, tofu steak, edemame, and stuffed mushrooms. Everything has been great and all of it is recommended, especially the mushrooms. The presentation of food is nicely done and looks more expensive then it is. It is almost a great date place but it's almost too comfortable and well lit, it lacks romantic atmosphere, but would make a great casual date.

    THIS PLACE IS OVERRATED! Okay, I'm a simple girl. I really just love GOOD basic sushi. A good California roll here, maybe some speciality rolls, nothing too much to ask but this place has not impressed me and I feel the the reviews just led me on. First, the California rolls weren't good. I want to know how one can possibly make a bad tasting cali roll? I spit it out immediately. The rice was so sticky!! They really were shy on the imitation crab as well because it just dropped out of the roll when I picked it up. Next, the egg rolls. What If I told you that the vegetable egg rolls at Panda Express were more tasty than these? Not bashing, just saying. They weren't even full egg rolls, they were cut into little slice things. Anyways, the house salad was good, it doesn't have that thicker ginger dressing that most sushi restaurants usually have but it's cool. I don't know if I'll be back but this place seems to have plenty of fans and I hope the business continues to be successful!

    My honey and I came here for the 1st time it was good would defiantly come again, we want to try happy hour or reverse happy hour! :) I had the spicy crispy chicken and he had the Bei Bulgogi both super tasty would defiantly order again but would ask for the Bei Bulgogi spicy next time, service was great too! We'll recommend and come again.....

    I went to Bei with my sister on Sunday 8/10. We got two lunch specials - each included two rolls and a bowl of soup. Rolls were very good and the soup was, also. Price was good - $8-9 for this per order. have yet to check it out for happy hour but will be back. hope they pick up more business - it's right next to Frashers but kind of obscure in a no-named little strip mall. our server was very nice and attentive and the food came out in a timely manner but no one else was there. bar area seems large and they have TV's for sports! asparagus veggie roll was delish!!!

    Since we used Yelp to find this restaurant, thought it only fair to provide a review. We arrived in Phoenix today and looked on Yelp for nearby sushi (our go to meal when traveling). We are staying near the university in Tempe so hoped to get away a bit. We saw the reviews and location in Scottsdale for Bei so headed there for dinner. We had a 7 PM reservation (made this afternoon) and were taken directly to our table and greeted almost immediately by our waiter. While the restaurant seemed full and there were some people waiting, they seemed well staffed. Our waiter brought our water and drinks fairly quickly and then took our dinner order. We ordered edamame as well as a sashimi sampler and a couple of rolls and were off to a good start. We got rice and some kind of sauce fairly quickly that we were told was for the sashimi and then didn't see our first order of food (the sashimi) until we were there for at least another 20 minutes. We were surprised the edamame wasn't served sooner but assume our waiter forgot. It did eventually arrive and was hot and flavorful. The sashimi platter was served by a different waitress who dropped it off at the table without saying a word, almost walking away as she brought it before we could even ask her to maybe explain the dish a bit. She also happened to bring out the two rolls we ordered and same story. We weren't sure if she was just having a bad night or was always like that so we mentioned her affect to our waiter who then sent the manager. When it comes to sushi and the work the chefs do to prepare, it would seem the presentation of the dish is at least a part of the experience and she clearly hadn't gotten the message. He was extremely apologetic and said he would speak to the waitress. He came by several times again to apologize and actually took 10% off the total for the late food and sporadic service. We did notice the waitress was more interactive with other tables later so assume she took her managers advice. The food was better than average when it arrived so that combined with the managers efforts to recover from poor service rate Bei 4 stars. FYI, did comment the restaurant was loud, mainly due to a woman at the table next to us who had an abnormally loud laugh.

    Drove by this place and decided to stop in instead of going all the way to old town for sushi and we had a blast! The staff was awesome and the food was fantastic (although I've had better calamari). The atmosphere was very lively, there was a DJ too! I'll definitely be back.

    The only reason this place doesn't get five stars is because the ambiance leaves a lot to be desired. The sushi is delicious, get the Alaskan roll!

  • Dewey R.

    This is one of my first reviews because I usually do not take the time and am skeptical about reviews. I am not what you would call a foodie but I appreciate good food and think I have good taste. I purchased a couple of things to go and was very, very impressed even though most food does not translate as well when ordered to go. I ordered the spicy crispy chicken entree and shrimp tempura and they were excellent. I am chomping at the bit to go eat in the dining room because if it was this good to go I can imagine it will be even better to eat in. I live very close to this restaurant and do not want to see it go away so please take my review with a grain of salt but give it a try and I will bet you will be impressed.
