| - For the lunch crowd, I believe Sai Sushi is giving "I Love Sushi," just less than a mile North a run for their money. This recently opened Japanese Sushi restaurant with a full Sushi bar, intimate and family friendly atmosphere is exactly what the South Henderson, Anthem community needs. Don't be fooled by the strip mall appearance or entrance: once inside it's décor is a small snapshot of everything that is modern in Japan. Only thing missing: floor seating and table remote controls for ordering (commonly seen in Tokyo, Japan.)
Not sure of the Sushi chef's history or reputation, but nevertheless, it sits fine with us. My favorite specialty rolls are, incidentally called the "89052" (my zip code) and the "7 Hills." Not a coincidence, I love spicy tuna rolls and both of these are indeed, spicy tuna.
The "7 Hills" is soft shell crab, spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, avocado wrapped with rice paper, eel sauce, yum yum sauce (not making that up) and sweet chili sauce.
The "89052" is shrimp tempura, crab, cucumber topped with spicy tuna, white fish tempura, eel sauce and a white sauce.
The service is very good, prompt, and respectful. Food is made fresh-to-order so anticipate a wait. Alcohol selection is good: you need that Kirin or Sapporo beer to go with that Sushi. And for the kiddos, they have the specialty fave drink: Shirakiku carbonated ramune drink. If you don't know how to open it, Youtube it, it is FUN!
Don't forget that homemade ice cream for your desert; it's plentiful and deliciously creamy.
