Yes, it's Arizona, and no, I did not have high expectations for finding good Japanese food. Nonetheless, I didn't think that the best tasting Japanese food I would have would be at a food court in the mall.
I was lured by the chicken teriyaki samples, and decided that they were better than I had expected. They give good portions, and I was happy to have leftovers to take with me on my plane ride back to the Bay.
