Ethan, If you cannot find anything appetizing on this menu than you don't like Japanese food. To order fried rice and say the food is no good is missing the point of this place. The raw fish is fantastic. My wife and I ordered the Chirashi, a bowl of rice topped with numerous types of raw fresh fish and pickled vegetables. Yummy!!! miso soup and cucumber salad all first rate. On the daily menu were 4 types of live fish. Can't wait to go back. Cave Creek is not the place to look for Japanese food until now, so I hope they can make a go of it.
