My wife and I came here last night to grab dinner, Wokcano is one of my favorite place to go eat at but I haven't been to one in a while and it was my first time at this location. We also brought our baby daughter with us. It didn't take long for us to get seated near the sushi chef area.
Our waitress was Natalie and she came to get our drinks and appetizers orders first. We just got soda and my wife wanted her spicy garlic edamame. She brought our drink and edamame quick. My wife ordered the Salmon and made it into a dinner meal so it would come with miso soup, salad and brown rice. I got the Mongolian beef and asked for Jasmine rice.
Our food took some time to come out, the miso soup and salad came out quick. My wife like the soup but not the salad, I tried it too and they just drenched it with dressing so not good. This was when Natalie went to refill my wife drink and when she came back, it didn't taste like a coke. I tooked multiple attempts to flag her down and she didn't believe me at first that the coke tasted weird. So she didn't even take it and said she'll bring a new one and I also asked for a refill on mine. She came back and said the people in the back is replacing the coke tank since it's emptied.
My Mongolian beef was delicious and they were generous with the portion. I loved my dish, my wife salmon also came out but she didn't really like. Natalie came back with just one coke but forgot my refill. The coke she brought was flat so not good. We decided to not even bother anymore. She disappeared again until I flagged her down with another waiter to asked for the check and boxes. The customer service here was bad and where they sat us, was smokey from the sushi chef area.

Just had amazing service from this beautiful waitress named Tyler , she took our whole complicated order with her memory and everything was perfect! I would come again just for this service. Our food came out quickly and it was delicious. She evened remembered it’s a little details, like I liked my soup extra hot.I will definitely be back soon.
Thank you Tyler :-)Maya

We ordered to go and once again despite asking they didn't fill the boxes.
The salad was literally almost entirely chips and a few pieces of dead lettuce.
Drove from an hour away to pick up dinner for date night and they absolutely did not deliver. Bummer because we're regular customers and come to eat in person all the time.

Arizona Gas Station Sushi location of a chain— “Safe, Generic SCV Sushi”… until it tried to kill us
I genuinely thought this place was going to be the definition of safe, cookie-cutter, “nothing special but fine” sushi. I used to come here all the time.I loved it!
I was wrong. We paid the price. In every way imaginable.
The Roll That Started the Apocalypse
My daughter (7) had a Philadelphia roll last night. You know — the sushi equivalent of ordering toast. It’s basic. It’s supposed to be foolproof.
She kept saying she wasn’t into it and I did the classic parent move:
> “She’s just being picky.”
She’s not picky. She’s perceptive.
When she was almost done, I tried it and it was BAD.
Not “meh” bad. Not “kinda warm” bad.
Spoiled bad.
Like “this fish is auditioning for a true crime documentary” bad.
I tried to talk to the manager because, minor detail, this isn’t safe to serve to human beings.
He removed the Philadelphia roll from my bill and hit me with:
“Have a great night.”
Sir… I’m not here for a coupon. I’m here because you’re serving people spoiled salmon.
He brushed it off.
On my way out, an employee asked if everything was okay. I said:
“No — I think I just ate bad salmon. This is definitely less than I expected.”
And he goes: “People say that sometimes, and then they cycle the food out and it gets better.”
EXCUSE ME?
So this is… a known issue? Like a seasonal menu item?
Back at Home: The Sequel Nobody Wanted
My 7-year-old is puking her guts out
I’ve already vomited once from just tasting it
I called the location. They took my name and number… and I haven’t heard anything back.
Then they tell me: They tasted it
“Some people have issues” The manager thought it was “just fine.”
So either:
1. the manager is used to substandard sushi, he has an iron stomach, or his taste buds have already filed for divorce.
The Sticky Sushi Bar of Doom
Also, if you sit at the sushi bar, you’ll be seated at a slab of sticky wood that apparently should’ve been varnished about five years ago.(Manager's words, not mine.)
It’s sticky no matter how much you clean it, according to the explanation I got.
So you’re not just eating questionable sushi — you’re doing it on a table that feels like it’s been lightly coated in soda and regret since 2019.
Takeout? Only If You Like Waiting as a Lifestyle
Four guys behind a sushi bar, watching soccer and hanging out, while the place is a ghost town, is not a reason for a 15m wait.
It’s overpriced and underdelivered, and the service has been consistently rough:
You’d think slicing a tuna roll to-go would not require a committee meeting and a halftime show
Another time, a host sat me… and I waited 15 minutes with no server ever coming by, so I just left.
To be fair: the place looks nice inside (because it’s a chain). It used to feel like safe, generic SCV sushi.
Not anymore. Not for me.
Final Ratings
Manager: dismissive
Servers: puts the “wait” in waiters
Hosts: sweet, easygoing, and seemingly unaware they work in a sweatshop cafeteria, disguised as a restaurant
Bottom Line
If you’re into: spoiled salmon roulette, sticky sushi bars, and service that moves at the speed of continental drift …then hey, maybe this is your spot.
For my family? For friends? We're good.
For my Enemies: "You guys gotta check this place out! It's just as awesome as it has always been!"

I love this place! They have great drinks and food and are open late. I’m a vegetarian and there are many options to choose from. I’m not an Asian food expert but I really love the food and the atmosphere is always chill. They also have a great happy hour. It’s my got to place for something a little fancy and still reasonable. Hope you enjoy it too!
