What User likes about Shimogamo:
Shimogamo is the ideal sushi restaurant- modern setting Zen chic food freshest and most carefully prepared and presented- staff is friendly and alert and there is the ever present Yoshi San-who makes hospitality the Shimogamo way- Sensei Domo Arigato! View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Shimogamo:
Sushi was ok. Nothing to rave about. Overpriced. Doesn't compare to the sushi bars in Los Angeles. The wait for the meal to be served was the longest I have ever experienced, and the place didn't appear full. minutes is a bit much. The server was good, always filling out drinks. View all feedback.

Shimogamo is a highly recommended neighborhood sushi bar with fresh, yummy sushi, friendly staff, and prompt service. The menu is explained well, with great specials. The atmosphere is wonderful, but make reservations as it gets busy. The food is exquisite, creative, and elegant, with high standards. The owner is caring and friendly, ensuring a memorable dining experience. Despite being upscale and pricey, the quality of food justifies the cost. Overall, Shimogamo offers an amazing Japanese dining experience, comparable to the best in Phoenix and Scottsdale. Reservations are a must for this upscale sushi gem.
