I like sushi at least a couple times a month and have lived near old town almost 10 years. RA, Geisha, Kyoto, Stingray (when it was open), are all places I've been countless times.
I think this will be my new spot if I am going out primarily for the food. The service is really good and the food quality is great and it's one of the more authentic Japanese restaurants in the area (actual Japanese people work here which is rare in Scottsdale). We loved the Udon soup - the broth was excellent. I hope some day to see Ramen on the menu. Also, the sashimi salad was really good and tons of Sashinmi and all fresh.
Pros:
mostly Japanese staff that are attentive and good service
Great parking - next to Sprouts parking plaza; always can park right out front
Cool atmosphere - I like that it's not too small and not too big
Nice menu and what I've eaten so far - delicious and fresh
