This is a good place for a group of friends to enjoy some good sushi with a fun little show if you feel like some teppanyaki. I have ate here around 7-8 and the sushi is always good, the saki bombs w/ kirin or sapporo hits the spot. You can be a little loud without having to worry about being jerks and the stir fry is tasty. While my favorite sushi is actually a chain called Yogi's(eel is epic) it does not really invite you to dine in with it's cafeteria seating so this place is my choice if I want to dine in. I haven't ventured too far on sushi trials but this place has better sushi than the following in my opinion.
Hana
Sushi 101
Stingrays
RA
Ichi Ban Japanese Restaurant & Sushi on Central and thomas(nothing alike)
Service 5/5 always friendly and prompt
food 3/5 sometimes its great sometimes its ok so it all depends
sushi 4/5 rock solid and they have deals for half off if you order five so its a real bargain.
drinks 4/5 nice sake and beer but the mixed drinks are just ok
Downside it they open only at night so I rarely get a chance to drive out to Mesa on a weekend as I run around much earlier most weekends.
