| - I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this place! We were DEFINITELY skeptical of coming here because well, it's a Thai AND Sushi restaurant. Unless it's some sort of fusion place, we normally stay clear of restaurants that offer two different styles of food at one location (like those restaurants that serve Chinese and Mexican!) We are SO glad we looked past our issues!
We've been back three times now, and let me tell you, each time has been consistently good. The first two times we had appetizers and sushi. They really DO have one of the best happy hours around - half priced apps AND pints of Kirin - DRAFT (i can't remember - I believe for $3.00). The main point being Kirin on draft! There is such a difference between Kirin out of a bottle and fresh from a tap, and it's so awesome they have it here! Score!
The appetizers were all awesome - fresh spring rolls, chicken satay, tempura - all very generous portions. Miso soup was as it should be - comforting and light - and not too salty! Then, we ordered our sushi. The rolls are generous, the himachi and salmon was super fresh - and the sushi chef was super nice and accommodating. Super creative sushi - some of which I have never seen before! We are definite fans!
The third time we came here - we were ready for some Thai! My fiance, our friend and I ordered apps to share. Our friend ordered the Thai Basil with shrimp - and he was crying. He said it was super spicy but super good. I did not try his dish but could tell by the tears falling from his face he was not joking. My fiance and I shared the glass noodle dish. We LOVE glass noodles - and they were cooked perfectly. Not too sticky or starchy, with just the right amount of spice.
The decor is truly gorgeous, and everyone is soo super nice here. The one bad thing is that Narai is consistently empty. It is deceiving - being located in the same plaza as Four Peaks brewery when you see a ton of cars in the parking lot. But most of the cars are for the brewery. The restaurant has been empty everytime we've dined here - which really scares us because we'd hate to lose such a North Scottsdale gem! I can't stomach places like Ra, or Kona Grill. It's so refreshing to have an authentic sushi and Thai restaurant in the area!
I would highly recommend trying it out! With so much variety and such a friendly, helpful staff - you're bound to find something you like! If not - just have a happy hour beer! ;)
