Finding fresh and affordable sushi in Phoenix is no easy feat. But I have been luckily enough to find this place.
I have been there twice so far and both times I have been pleasantly surprised by the food. Who would expect a great sushi place in an old Mexican restaurant?!?
The first time I went I tried something new, the Spice Girl (spicy tuna and spicy salmon with spicy mayo). It had a great flavor but I would suggest sharing it. I like spicy food but I could not eat the entire roll without my mouth hurting. But the pain was worth the amazing taste.
The next time I went was for lunch. Such a great deal, either $9 for 2 rolls or $12 for 3 rolls and you get a bowl of miso soup and a salad! So filling for the price. I decided I needed to try another roll before I left and I chose the salmon hand roll. I love salmon and that is usually how I judge if sushi is fresh or not because it is obvious when it is so no good. This salmon was so delicious!! Did not taste fishy at all! The hand roll had a ton of fish in it and satisfied my craving while making me long for even more.
I cannot wait to visit Ritz Asia again.
