We have never been disappointed in a meal here. They do the standards very well, and the creative dishes are always delicious. It's not cheap, but you won't feel like you overpaid. Occasionally we've had to wait a few minutes for a table, even on weeknights, but we're heading there again tonight, and we know we won't be disappointed. The only place in the area that we've had better sushi is Hiro in Scottsdale, though Yasu is probably more consistent. Yasu is a strong #2 for excellent sushi in the valley.
