| - Based on all the yelp reviews, my Mesa friend and I came here for dinner tonight. It was a fantastic choice. Our waiter was super nice and super quick. The atmosphere was dim and cozy. Definitely would not recommend this for a big group though, it would be a bit cramped.
Here's what we ordered:
1.) Ika Kara Age (Sweet butter marinated squid breaded to a crunchy finish) - This dish was DELICIOUS, the squid was cooked just right! It wasn't chewy, rubbery or overcooked. It was tender, just enough flavor ...and many pieces in one order!
2.) Agadashi Tofu (Lightly cooked tofu served in tempura sauce with bonito) - This dish was a little bland, you'd think that since tofu doesn't have much flavor...the majority of the flavor would be in the sauce. But no. We had to sprinkle salt into the sauce ..which then made it better.
3.) Umi No Sachi (A sashimi salad) - A bed of mixed greens, HUGE chunks of sashimi all drizzled with a creamy white sauce. This was the highlight of our dinner. I've never seen a sashimi salad for $16 that had this much sashimi that was so fresh, cut into such big slices before. I absolutely give this dish 5stars!!!!!!! You HAVE TO try this.
4.) Alaskan Roll - A california roll wrapped with raw salmon. You think, what's so special right? There must have been a secret sauce they put inside this roll because you got this amazing after taste...that just made you want to take another piece and another piece....and another piece...
5.) Philadelphia Roll - A roll with cream cheese and salmon. This was average, nothing significant but i was happy.
6.) Spicy Tuna Roll - REALLY good spicy tuna roll, made me regret not ordering a spicy tuna hand roll....i bet that would have been orgasmic.
All the more reason to revisit!! :)
