| - I've been to Phoenix a few times on business travel. When I do fly out for a job, I like to eat fairly well. This place came highly recommended by my sister, who was a pastry chef at the Bourbon Steakhouse. She's eaten here a number of times and loved it. Since she's Miss Picky Eater, I took her suggestion to heart and came here on my last night in town.
I was not disappointed.
I arrived in time for happy hour. I was able to grab a few drinks and a seat at the sushi bar. It was an honor to have Chef Yasu see to all my dining needs. He provided excellent suggestions.
I ordered the ankimo monk fish liver, ocean trout nigiri, Japanese snapper nigiri, cream scallop, bistro green beans and the bistro albacore tuna. My favorites were the ankimo, ocean trout, bistro albore tuna and the red snapper nigiri. I was SUPER pleasantly surprised with the snapper. Past experience gave me the expectation that a red snapper is one of the more tougher fishes for me to eat, especially with that bit of tendon that never gets removed. Chef Yasu proved that it could, in fact, be soft, tasty AND delicious.
If you couldn't tell, I stuffed myself silly.
In the end, Chef Yasu and I swapped dining recommendations. Him for Phoenix and me for San Diego. I look forward to my next trip out. Another visit for me at Yasu. Can't wait!
