A Scottsdale favorite. This is a great little sushi bar even though it is out in the boonies of northeast Scottsdale. Small, breezy, casual but stylish, and fun. They really did manage to blend a sushi and martini bar pretty seamlessly. It can be a little bit of a scene and it is definitely an older well-heeled crowd due to its proximity to DC Ranch.
The food is great. Very creative sushi rolls. If you are a purist, you will HATE IT. I am a fan of good food, so I LOVE IT. One example:
Where's the Beef Tempura roll with seared beef tenderloin, asparagus, avocado and shrimp, lightly fried and drizzled with a sweet soy glaze. And the martinis are smashing.
TIP: I went on a Sunday last summer and they gave us a big discount because I was wearing blue. It was 50% off, I think. I hope they do this every summer...
