イースト・バレーのレストラン

Great food and excellent service. We especially enjoyed the amazing desserts.

It was my son‘s birthday. The amount of food you get has decreased. We did the $30 coupon which helped out but taking one chicken breast and splitting it between two meals didn’t seem right when you used to get one whole chicken breast, that’s where I feel like the value is not there with the chefs table coupon. Like I said before you used to get more food.

Amazing service by Gwen. She is our go-to for our Date nights because of her friendliness, order accuracy, helpful advice on menu items, and wine knowledge. The Manager TJ was also first class. When you have a plate overcooked or botched it is nice to have someone with the correct response. $hit happens at restaurants, so we don’t get upset. We give the Manager the chance to handle it appropriately. Surprisingly we had a dish overcooked. We mentioned it to Gwen, he response was perfect and then she got TJ to get management involved. TJ’s response was exactly what you would expect from a class A restaurant. No excuses, no diversion, just the appropriate agreement, solution, and offer of dessert. We drive from Surprise to go to the Chandler restaurant because of GWEN! and the Team in Chandler. We will be back…again and again.

My wife, and our son and his girlfriend, had dinner at Shimogamo Chandler to celebrate our son’s first job. For the first time, we ate at a table, instead of at the sushi counter. Our server, Micah, was terrific. She clearly knew the restaurant, the menu, the food and the drinks. We started with an excellent sake, Ippongi Daiichi Gitai, that was presented by the bar manager, Matt. We ordered a huge assortment of mostly nigiri sushi; Madai (Sea Bream), Mejina (Opaleye Nigiri), Kamasu (Barracuda Nigiri), Kinmedai (Goldeneye Snapper), Aji (Jack Mackerel), Umi Masu (Ocean Trout), Hotate (Sea Scallop), Anago (Sea Eel), Ama Ebi (Sweet Shrimp), Baja Uni (Sea Urchin Sashimi), Santa Barbara Uni (Sea Urchin Gunkan). Micah had the chefs course our fish selections perfectly. After the sushi, we had the Hatcho Miso Duck, Yuzu Mushroom and Fried Shishito Peppers. For dessert, my son and I tried the Harvest in Uji and Matcha Hai cocktails. Everything we had to eat and drink was delicious. If I had known that they had Kakigori (Japanese Shave Ice) for dessert, I would have saved room for it. That’s one more reason to return for another meal, I guess.

Always such a great dining experience we like to dine at the bar whenever possible and had so much fun. The bartenders are so knowledgeable and so well trained. The popcorn shrimp is some of the best we’ve ever had a very light coating and lots of delicious locally sourced greens to go along with it . We ordered a butter board, which is an amazing treat just like a charcuterie board except a butter board comes with Noble bread -just fantastic. We had the pork chop entrée which was delicious and it’s an all-around great experience, we will be back!
