So I've always, always been lucky & got seats at the bar which at this location I like because it looks over the street. So there's lots of foot traffic to be entertained with. Which is always fun on the weekends. No telling who's going to walk by doing what.
The bar staff has never been the same staff & the last guy that was working the bar the weekend of 1/9 during the Broncos/Steelers championship was a TOTAL douche. Made a big diff with his "buddies" than the rest of us at the bar. It was so bad that the next time my hubs wanted sushi in downtown the following Sat before 5 I didn't want to go here because of him. But our choices were limited to one so there you go. I was just hoping he wasn't going to be there & true to form the staff tending the bar was diff. YAY! The girl was from the now defunct Scottsdale location & was fun, personable & couldn't have been further from a douche. But that goes to show you no matter how yummy just one bad personal experience can turn you off. Just saying....
We got a new roll to us, the Seafood Dynamite & weren't fans because we don't dig warm anything on our cool sushi roll but the taste was very good. Just us. If you don't mind warm cooked fish as sushi go for it. It was very good. We are just more sashimi folks. We keep coming back because all of the sushi, Nigiri & Sashimi is very fresh, tasty & delish. The Spicy Tuna is usually heavy handed on the spice which I REALLY like. But beware if you don't.
Also yum-my is the: tuna sashimi, octopus sashimi, caterpillar roll, shrimp tempura roll, cougar rolls but the roasted squid & roasted garlic edamame app are both divine. So good must get. :)
