The first time I ate here, I was in the middle of moving into a new apartment. My husband and I were not very dressed up, but this was the only place still serving dinner, and we were starving. Despite our casual attire, the staff was super friendly and attentive. The interior may be modern, but the service is old fashioned nice.
I have since been back and enjoyed each visit. While they are not breaking any new ground here, the sushi is fresh and tasty and the cocktails are excellent. There is also a nice wine selection and lots of other Japanese food.
Do not be scared off by the all white, super-chic scottsdale look - this is a good place for a date or an evening with friends.
