| - Very fresh and well presented sushi. I love the fresh wasabi side! I don't know of another place that offers it. They offer the bright green stuff too, but if you want the kind of wasabi that will wake up your senses and momentarily destroy your sinuses, this is the place to go.
The atmosphere is stylized and the chairs are strange-- Not in a good or bad way, I can just tell some effort was put into it as a design, but it doesn't move me one way or another. The chairs are definitely form over function, and form with chairs is pretty important. I wouldn't put one of these on a porch and drink iced tea, which is a chair Litmus test for me, but I digress.
Anyway, the food is good and priced accordingly. It seems to me that sushi is not well represented in Phoenix. With modern refrigeration, I don't see why. Maybe I am mistaken about the lack of sushi choices in Phoenix, but it seems the culinary diversity of our small-town-big-city would offer more than Moira when it comes to small boutique sushi bars.
Booze side note: Their drink list is pretty fun. I didn't have any, but the table next to me had some pretty fancy looking signature drinks. I had a Hendricks Gin, which I was pleased to see on the menu. Served on the rocks with a cucumber garnish was delightful. Moira gets the credit for introducing me to my favorite garnish for one of my favorite gins.
