I have a love hate relationship with this place. We tried it for the first time on SAT on the way back from the outlets. The younger gentlemen who greeted us was super friendly, sat us right away and brought our drinks over right away too. However, he was the ONLY part of the service that night that was good. The waitress who took our order seemed new? She didn't know what agedashi tofu was and didn't seem very happy to be there and neither did the other two waitresses (one of them being the owner). However, I will say that the food is great! This is probably THE BEST moderately priced sushi you will get in AZ. I'm from Hawaii so I know fresh sushi/sashimi! : )
We ordered the following items.
APPETIZER: Agedashi Tofu - this was EXCELLENT! VERY lightly battered, perfect crisp and the dash broth surprisingly was the perfect soupy consistency and not too salty!
SUSHI: We ordered the Spicy Scallop Sushi (Gunkan), and the Sweet Potato Tempura Roll. The Spicy Scallop was pretty fresh, no the best I've had but definitely not bad. The consistency of the rice here is fairly decent! The sweet potato roll I could love it or leave it. The sweet potato was crispy and delicious but I think because it was piping hot when it was rolled up, it ended up heating up the rice a bit and making it a tad mushy.
BENTO: We ordered the Combination Bento Box with Salmon and Beef Teriyaki. It came with a full size California roll. The roll had very little rice which I can definitely appreciate and the inside was STUFFED so the bento box was a great deal!! It also came with miso soup and a side salad.
MISC: We decided to try the Shrimp Yaki-Udon. The udon could've been a bit more al dente but overall, not too shabby at all!!
As the evening progressed our wait staff became more friendly which was nice and the busser (who was also the one who initially greeted us at the door) was super diligent about drink refills and taking away the dishes we were finished with.
In regards to the decor, it's very chic! It's a new spot so it's super clean. The interior finishes are all very modern and the both times we've been here it's been a nice and quiet dining experience. I'll definitely be back!! : )
