My favorite sushi place in Phoenix (sorry, but you're not going to be able to beat out Mitch's in Oahu.)
Don't let the exterior fool you; yes, its in a strip mall. And even the interior, yes, its relatively non-descript and pretty tight.
However, the quality and thought behind the food makes for a delicious experience; whether you go the sushi route or the Japanese grill, you won't be disappointed.
This isn't a meal that is rushed, so if you only have 45 minutes for dinner wait for another night. (Yes, the service is pretty inconsistent as most of the other reviews have indicated.)
