I visited this location with a group during Phoenix Comic Fest. We arrived at about 5:30 on a Saturday and were seated right away. Our table location felt pretty cramped but otherwise the atmosphere was quite pleasant, not too loud, and the service was good.
I had the Tune in Tokyo cocktail to drink, and it was AMAZING. I'd definitely order that again. For my main dish, I ordered the duck confit bowl, but the server returned to inform me that duck wouldn't be available for another two hours. That was a bummer, but there were still plenty of other appealing choices. I went with the Beef Short Rib Bowl.
The restaurant was really filling up at this point but our food didn't take long to come out. I loved my dish. The beef short ribs had an amazing and deep flavor; the only negative is that a few of the pieces were really large and awkward to eat with chopsticks. The flavors within my bowl contrasted and complemented each other well, from the freshness of the rice to the acidic tang of the kimchi to the softness of the egg. Great stuff all around.
I've already told my husband that he needs to come here with me sometime when we're in downtown. Maybe then I can try the duck... and that macadamia nut bread pudding...
