| - Kawaii Sushi and Asian Cuisine is the best in the Valley for authentic gourmet Chinese food! My mother is Chinese & I have experienced gourmet chinese food all over the United States and California in particular. Kawaii exceeded & surpassed my expectations by far. I was tremendously pleased with all of the chinese appetizers, soups, & dishes. If I had to choose my favorite it would be the cashew chicken. The fried rice is the best I've had in Arizona & probably the world hands down. I would drive to Kawaii just for the fried rice & I live in Scottsdale. If that doesn't tell you how good it is then I don't know what else to say. I particularly like the vegetable fried rice, it is the best I have ever had. Kelly the Owner/Manager is a terrific host and is very knowledgeable about the food as well as the wines. She is always updating the menu with new items, drink specials, and has made some great recommendations. The staff is always friendly and attentive. I don't like egg in my rice and customize my orders, they never mind, and have never gotten them wrong. One time I forgot to mention that in my order and it came my way, they remembered I liked it that way, I was blown away, talk about customer service! The sushi bar has a nice vibe and they have a modern, very stylish, decor thats goes along with some asian style artwork on the walls and it really blends well. The restaurant is extraordinarily clean. I noticed it had a A rating and a award from CBS news for being 5 star clean. It has a nice little patio outside for extra outdoor seating. And, there are some nice TV's inside. They play some cool music in there too I noticed, adding to the hip ambiance & environment inside. I tried some of the sushi rolls, edamame, & the miso soup, it was super too! I just have a hard time not choosing the chinese dishes there because they remind me of California & have that true Chinese taste yet maintaining a twist to their own Kawaii inspired fusion of traditional chinese flavors. Overall, I am just impressed from top to bottom with this place. It just has a trendy, fresh, classy environment inside and the food has been terrific every time. With the atmosphere, service, drinks, and quality of the food it is like fine dining at a fraction of the price. They seem to be getting busier as I see more customers each time I go. Give this place a try and I promise you will be a repeat customer. This is one of the few 5 star reviews I have given on yelp.
