What a surprise to find this cozy joint in this neck of the woods! It's the most authentic sushi bar I've experienced in the East Valley. The chef was really a Japanese man and didn't speak a word of English, nor did he smile. He is the type of sushi nazi most small authentic joints employed, ha. The restaurant layout was very traditional with a lowered bar and stools and curtains splashed with Japanese designs separating the kitchen. It probably holds less than 20ppl inside. Just the kind of intimacy I sometimes prefer. We sat at the bar and ordered a few traditional rolls and I have to say the rice was superb and the spicy tuna was well seasoned and yummy. Would like to go back again soon :)
