Asian Cafe Express
1911 W. Main St. Asian, Chinese $, $$ Mesa  
Despite the name, this is no generic pan-Asian fast food joint. Not even close. It’s exceptionally tasty, unbelievably cheap, authentic Hong Kong-style cuisine. Behind it all is chef Michael Leung, former owner of central Phoenix’s Gourmet House of Hong Kong. Be prepared to spend some... More >>
Cork
4991 S. Alma School Rd., Ste. 101 Contemporary, Eclectic, New American $$$, $$$$ Chandler  
At its heart, Cork is a neighborhood wine bar that just happens to serve inventive, beautifully presented food. Owned by three alumni of Lon’s at the Hermosa – sommelier Robert Morris, his wife Danielle (who’s the pastry chef), and executive chef Brian Peterson – the... More >>
C-Fu Gourmet
2051 W. Warner Rd. Chinese, Seafood $$ Chandler  
One of the few Valley Chinese restaurants that could hold its own in New York's or San Francisco's Chinatown. C-Fu specializes in seafood so fresh, most of it is still swimming when you order it. Don't miss the chrysanthemum-steamed fish, Marco Polo lobster or Dungeness crab. Non-seafood dishes... More >>
China King
1050 W. Ray Rd. Chinese $ Chandler  
This food is Chinatown-good. Or better, since China King’s no grungy hole-in-the-wall, but a sunny, clean, spacious restaurant that stands separate from its strip mall neighbors. There’s a traditional menu, but we go for the dim sum, available daily. The place is a madhouse on weekends... More >>
Cyclo Vietnamese Cuisine
1919 W. Chandler Blvd. Vietnamese $ Chandler  
The perfect combination: authentic, brilliantly flavored Vietnamese food in a clean, contemporary setting. Prices are the same as typical holes-in-the-wall (huge portions for $6 to $9), but ingredients are always topnotch, and it's pretty enough to take the most timid first-time Asian diner.... More >>
Dragonfly Vietnamese Kitchen
1116 S. Dobson Rd. Vietnamese $, $$ Mesa  
Dragonfly Vietnamese Kitchen is worth seeking out. You’ll find authentic ethnic cuisine and a surprisingly pleasant café-style atmosphere, plus a lengthy menu of traditional specialties that are as delicious and beautifully presented as they are wallet-friendly. With nothing over... More >>
Hodori
1116 S. Dobson Rd. Korean $$ Mesa  
Clean, spacious, and minimalistic, Hodori occupies a spot on one of the East Valley’s busiest corners for Asian food. (Among other neighbors, there’s a Vietnamese café and a Korean market in the same strip mall.) There’s none of the cook-it-yourself Korean barbecue that... More >>
Joe's Farm Grill
3000 E. Ray Rd. American, Barbecue, Breakfast $$ Gilbert  
It’s quite a hike to this retro-futuristic burger stand in east Gilbert, but there’s nothing like it in the Valley. The building is a converted farm home, where owner Joe Johnston grew up, and it’s situated in a new master-planned community called Agritopia, where a 12-acre urban... More >>
Joe's Real BBQ
301 N. Gilbert Rd. American, Barbecue, Dessert $$ Gilbert  
Ribs: Think of them as meat lollipops thick with tangy barbecue sauce, tender from being lovingly slow-smoked over pecan logs, and served up with mac 'n' cheese, sweet corn, coleslaw, and/or any of a number of other sides. At least, that’s how you’ll be chowin’ down on Porky Pig... More >>
Kai
5594 West Wild Horse Pass Blvd. American, Eclectic, Fusion, Southwestern $$$$ Chandler  
Kai’s current creative triumvirate - consulting chef Janos Wilder (a James Beard Award-winner), executive chef Michael O’Dowd, and chef de cuisine Jack Strong - deserves to bask in the attention that comes with being Arizona’s newest AAA Five Diamond Award-winner. Strong is Native... More >>
Manna Café
721 N. Arizona Ave. Korean $$ Gilbert  
Looking for authentic Korean flavors? Try Manna Cafe. From the looks of the décor, or lack thereof, you’d be hard-pressed to guess what kind of cuisine they serve. Korean pop music is the lone giveaway. Luckily, prices are no-frills, too -- most items are under 10 bucks, and... More >>
Rancho de Tia Rosa
3129 E. McKellips Rd. California Cuisine, Mexican $$, $$$ Mesa  
Attractive, 8,000-square-foot hacienda-style eatery devoted to a more healthful take on Mexican grub, mixing in elements of Baja style and California cuisines. The bright, airy interior includes a fantasia of Mexican tile, artwork and furniture. Menu faves include the rich, flavorful chicken... More >>
SanTan Brewing Company
8 South San Marcos Pl. American, Brewpub / Pub Fare $$ Chandler  
Sometimes it feels as if Scottsdale has a monopoly on dining hotspots, but SanTan Brewing Company, part of Chandler’s San Marcos Plaza, proves there’s other life in the East Valley. The vibe here is distinctive -- its Gen X and Y mix is more grown up than Tempe’s ... More >>
Shimogamo
2051 W. Warner Rd., Ste. 14 Japanese, Sushi $$$ Chandler  
Sleek, sophisticated Japanese restaurant with many items unique to Japanese restaurants in Phoenix, though not to Japanese restaurants in Japan or larger American cities. The place was designed by its owner, himself a fussy Japanese eater, so you know it’s good. And even if you can’t... More >>
Sushi Ken
4206 E. Chandler Blvd. Japanese, Sushi $, $$ Ahwatukee  
The former proprietors of Tucson’s Sushi Ten have opened a new eatery in Ahwatukee, and fans of authentic Japanese cuisine have been quick to pick up on it. The spare dining room’s bright and open, with plenty of seating at the sushi bar and tables scattered throughout the room. As for... More >>
Zur Kate
4815 E. Main St. German $, $$ Mesa  
Everything in Zur Kate has a German flair, not just the authentic cuisine. The walls are covered with paintings, flags, and other memorabilia from the Old Country, and there’s always German music, whether on the stereo or from a live band. Expect a selection of imported German beer on tap... More >>
