| - In this review I'm going to break it up into three different sections: Ambiance, food quality/price, and service. Just walking in the door, the layout and vibe is very aesthetic. Seating is available at the bar itself, or on the restaurant floor as well for larger groups. I've been to several sushi restaurants around Arizona, but this one by far has the most authentic look and feel to it, most certainly not some modernized "nightclub" sushi bar, serving Americanized rolls. To add onto the very pleasing appearance, there is a large, beautiful fish tank, filled with an assortment of exotic fish, right behind the bar. Don't be fooled by the exterior appearance, or its location, because the interior makes up for any of the blemishes outside. There is also very quiet ambient music just so you can perfectly hear it, but not have it drown out any conversation you may be having or have it be an uncomfortable in the slightest. The appearance and feel of the restaurant undoubtedly enhance food and experience you have when you step foot in the establishment.
Heed my warning when I tell you that this restaurant will ruin any other sushi for you. This is the best sushi available in Arizona, or any other state I've travelled to. You may think you know sushi, but until you've ventured out to Sushi Kee, you don't know good sushi. There are rolls available for any type of person, even people who don't regularly enjoy sushi. I made a trip there with my girlfriend, who doesn't enjoy sushi whatsoever, and she fell in love with the rolls that are deep fried. The place also puts their own refreshing spin on classic sushi rolls, such as spicy tuna, making the quality spectacular. Don't eat sushi? No problem. They also have delicious alternatives that are available if you're that type of person who got stuck into going to a sushi restaurant and you don't even enjoy it. I personally recommend the chicken katsu, which is a Japanese twist on chicken tenders, served with a savory sweet sauce and a scoop of rice, making the dish very delectable. Delicious appetizers are available as well, such as tempura (shrimp or veggie), served with a flavorful sake sauce. To sum it all up for you, I haven't ordering anything on the menu that hasn't completely satisfied me. The food is all moderately priced and I can't complain with that. You feel as if you're getting this type of quality for a steal, as opposed to going to a previously mentioned modernized sushi bar and buying overpriced, mediocre sushi.
The service is very timely and friendly. The server and sushi chef have items available at a very reasonable time, not taking away from any of the quality. I was very surprised to place my order to the server, and within little time I was enjoying the food I ordered. The service provided is also very happy to bring you anything you need such as condiments and utensils (if you're unable to use chopsticks). The workers there really seem to enjoy their job and that is a very refreshing attitude to have towards customers, which isn't displayed at many other restaurants. If you want to go to an authentic, delicious sushi restaurant, with very friendly and timely service, I suggest that you don't hesitate in heading down over to Sushi Kee, you won't be any less than completely satisfied.
