| - I really recommend this place, but unless the food is great, I don't hand out four stars and above. Go for the atmosphere, the atmosphere is probably the best I've experienced in all of Phoenix so far.
The great thing about this place is the atmosphere. It's hip, and modern with an Asian influence.
The best thing about this haunt is the staff. We sat at the bar, and the manager, the bartenders and most of the rest of the staff circling about were friendly and very helpful. I drink shoot loads of water, I can get through more than 5 glasses in one meal. Not once was my water glass empty. She just kept filling it up. Also we wanted to watch the game (Sunday Football) and turn on the closed captioning, they spent a good 15 minutes figuring it out, just for us. Awesome people, plus they were chatty but not intrusive.
The second best thing is the bartender. Her cocktails, we had a Geisha a Go Go and Kimono Dragon. The Kimono Dragon was great (being sweet) while the Geisha a Go Go was not as sweet, more alcoholic and tasted like watermelons as it should.
Unfortunately, the food wasn't the best. I had the Vegetable Udon. The flavor was good, but it was so salty. I have to agree with another yelper that they use way too much Soy Sauce.
We also had a variety of sushi's. We had sashimi and some other raw fishes and no one got sick, a big plus in the Valley. The flavor was ok, but it didn't leave my mouth watering. We had some spicy tuna, some sashimi, some fish eggs, and this and that.
I wouldn't go hunt this place down and make it a place to go to when I'm wanting some good food, but if I'm totally down on the atmosphere. It's really somewhere I'd go and just sit around for two hours or so. The food isn't great, but the great atmosphere and the staff is well worth the bill easily racked up. Lastly, we had the chocolate cake, it was definitely chocolatey and relatively moist.
... I lo
