This place never disappoints. I've eaten at both the Los Angeles and Pasadena, CA location. The Scottsdale location did not disappoint! The decor here was nicer than the other locations, still rocking that chic and hip vibe that the W hotel and roku restaurants always have. We came with a large group of people, so we ordered a ton of dishes. Here are some highlights and must haves:
1) yellow tail with diced green chile: paper thin slices of hamachi bathed in a yuzu sauce topped with tiny pieces of diced green and red chile. It was delicious as always!
2) spicy tuna on crispy rice: i always order this at every establishment that offers it on the menu and I find that roku does it the best. The rice it's served on is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and comes out warm. It's piled on high with spicy tuna that's bursting with flavor and heat.
3) miso marinated cod: this is another dish I always order when it's available. It's not as good as Nobu Matsuhisa's, but still delicious. The fish is so delicate, it flakes apart easily with a fork and melts in your mouth releasing the flavors and sweetness of both the fish and miso marinade. Absolutely delicious!
4) Chilean sea bass: this is another really delicate fish that had great flavor and served nicely seasoned sautéd spinach.
5) crunchy spicy tuna and avocado roll: tuna and avocado with tempura flake crust
6) spicy tuna and shrimp in rice paper roll (I forget the actual name of it): the rice paper gives this roll a unique and delicious flavor.
7) rock shrimp: tempura style mixed with a sweet sauce.
8) mixed seafood tempura: the batter was light and flaky. The scallop and asparagus were my favorites.
9) edamame (soybeans): made al dente and came out steaming hot to our table lightly salted. Delicious!
Everything here from the service to the food to the ambience is great. This place rocks!!
