So I know what your thinking, Sushi in Arizona!?!?! YES!!!
I highly recommend checking at Nobuo at Teeter house! I honestly have to say this was the highlight of my trip with my husband. After having a disappointing lunch earlier that day, my husband and I wanted to have an awesome dinner. So I looked up online to find the best places to eat in Arizona and Nobuo was one of the restaurants that was suggested. We arrived on Saturday night at around 9. The restaurant is located at the historical Heritage Square in Phoenix. We had a little trouble trying to find the place since we aren't locals and drove around the block a few times before finding the parking structure.
Nobuo is located inside the Teeter house which was built in the 1899 and they converted into a restaurant. I think this is what got my husband and I a little confused because we were actually looking for something that resembled a typical restaurant. I honestly felt like I was walking into a home because they had a front porch with chairs and the 3 separate small dining rooms. They were pretty much booked but we were able to quickly get seated at the bar. First off, I loved the atmosphere, everything was intimate and you can just feel the history of the place. Dinner option was tapas style so my husband and I ordered 4 items including dessert.
Seabass and Mushroom
Pork Belly wrapped in Banana Leaf (highly recommend)
Grapefruit and Hamachi
House Cured Salmon (highly recommend)
Everything we ordered was delicious and I loved how chef Nobuo himself would come out and serve our meals explaining each plate to us. Surprisingly we were full with just these 4 dishes.
The service was impeccable and Chef Nobuo even came out and talked to my husband and I about the history of the place.
My husband and I can't wait for our next trip to Arizona to eat here again.
