| - My suggestion, come here for dinner as opposed to lunch. I've been here for both within a two week span and have had a good experience with both but I felt service was a bit quicker even if getting a table might be hard to accomplish.
The atmosphere is more calm even when busy, the food and wait service can be slow due to the high volume of people but the place was packed both times I came so I expected things like that. The food? In comparison with the other 3 places I've been to for sushi here in phoenix it was immaculate. It reminded me enough of Cali for the quality of fish I came back again the next day because I knew I would be leaving soon there after.
The flavor profiles for the food were good, the tempura whether as a side dish or within the rolls was crisp, the salmon was excellent, the quantity to quality ratio was good, aside from having to wait for a check each time for a considerable amount I was quite happy with the results.
So far I've had the negi toro, spicy ribbon, and I believe it was the phoenix or whatever the mixed fish roll was that had multiple types of fish in it that was deep fried. There was also one other roll but the name of it escapes me at this time. The negi toro and spicy ribbon were good, the phoenix not exactly my cup of tea.
All in all, in comparison with the other places I've been here, this place is a jewel. I'll gladly wait to get what I want out of food. If you're in a crunch for time, you shouldn't be going to places you know will be stacked with people anyway. That's just idiotic.
