| - They have done a great job updating and renovating this building. It sat unoccupied for years, with paint peeling off its exterior, and slowly dying with the surrounding area (ie Fiesta Mall and many other strip malls nearby). However, few buildings nearby buildings have come back to life, and I was pleasantly surprised when I drove by this place and saw vibrant, colorful paint and banners on this building. When you walk inside, you'll be greeted by an Asian-styled restaurant with a Hispanic twist. It obviously isn't authentic Asian, but it still gets the message across. They have an open area where people can dance, a normal dining area, seating in front of the sushi bar, and two separate bars. The bigger bar/dining area is raised mildly elevated, giving you a good view of the dance floor.
I visited the Mesa location of Senor Sushi on a weekday evening for dinner. We were seated immediately and everything else thereafter was very quick. Everyone works really fast here and the customer service was decent. There was a very mild language barrier and sometimes I questioned if our server understood us. We asked him if he had a nutrition menu. I was unsure if he understood, but later, Justin who I am assuming is an owner, came over and apologized for not having one. It really impressed me that there was follow up on our request. It confirmed that our server understood us and made me feel like they cared about their customers.
About the food -- if you are wanting authentic Japanese food, do not come here. I would market it as Asian-inspired Mexican sushi, and I definitely recommend this place if you're considering! They have a appetizers, including hot wings and fries for those who do not like seafood, salads, rice, soup, specialty sushi rolls, and latino sushi rolls. I am not sure if they make more traditional rolls such as cucumber rolls, spicy tuna, etc...if requested. I tasted the Poison ivy Roll, Rock & Roll, Carne Asada roll, and Mexican Roll. The fish in all the rolls seemed fresh and tasted good. I really loved the use of cream cheese on the Poison Ivy. The Rock & Roll is a very good low-carb option because they wrap the fish with cucumber instead of rice. The cucumber itself was a little too soft, making me believe that it was too soggy or stale. I will have to reorder it in the future to understand it better. The Carne Asada Roll had very good carne asada..ha. The Mexican Roll had such a good spicy kick to it! Even the soy sauce that was served to us had some chili powder it in. I really like and appreciate what they've done to these rolls and made it their own.
They also have alcoholic beverages, a full bar, happy hour specials and live music on the weekends. I was told the performer ranges from a live band to DJ and varies greatly from one day/week to the next. This place has a really fun ambiance to it and seems like it would be a great place to come hang out on the weekends.
They've done a very good job branding their restaurant. They have a great logo. On a side note, their bathrooms are immaculate. Its design was very trendy and updated. The sink bowl and countertops are one of the swankiest designs at this time. Most importantly, it was clean! I am a clean freak and rarely give my stamp of approval to public bathrooms. This one gets my approval.
