| - My party was visiting around the area and was craving for some Japanese food, and decided to try this place out.
ENVIRONMENT - There's a bar where you can eat, as well as a comfortable seating area. it's not the best for large groups, as the place is not too big. They also have a TV playing MLB, in case you want a place to watch your games :P
SERVICE - Friendly and prompt!
FOOD - I don't expect much in terms of authenticity for Japanese cuisine in Arizona, so I guess the food was okay in terms of a Japanese Fusion style. Their names for their rolls are quite punny - 'marilyn monroll' LOL.
+Salmon Dynamite Roll $5.95 - The presentation of this was quite interesting. There's 5 pieces on the bottom (see pic) with salmon and other toppings all loaded on top, so it looks like one giant piece (almost like a sushi pizza). i enjoyed this, and it's filling if you order another small dish with it.
+ Tempura Udon $8.99 - Price isn't too bad, and the udon broth was quite yummy. The udon noodles itself had a great texture as well.
BUT the tempura disappointed me. At first I was just expecting 2 tempura shrimps with the udon, so I was pleasantly surprised that a whole plate of tempura came. But that plate of tempura just consisted of 1 shrimp, a whole bunch of carrots, 2 peppers (not a fan... first time I've seen carrots and peppers being battered.....blergh, not a fan), 1 broccoli, and 1 squash.
I'd probably just stick to the special rolls next time - no more udon for me.
Also, don't forget to check in since you get some free edamame!
