| - I found this place by accident; a fantastic accident! My friend and I are Paint Nite enthusiasts. We were at the bar next door for Paint Nite. The Yelp reviews were pretty clear that the bar's food was subpar. My friend asked if we wanted to try this place for sushi. Being from Seattle, it's hard to find decent fish in the dessert. But, you're equally hard pressed to find decent Mexican food up there.
The quality of the fish is unmatched; it's so fresh you'd cry tears of joy. I hadn't ever had a poke bowl before, but it had everything in it that I enjoy eating. I've been hooked ever since. I definitely get cravings for their food.
One of the owners was our sushi chef, and he's very kind. I mentioned that I hadn't ever had eel before, so he gave my friend and me generous samples to taste. Nom, nom, nom.
I don't like Americanized roles-mayo on rice? That's just not right. Their selection of rolls is diverse enough to accommodate me. I highly recommend the Pink Princess Roll. It's a painting on the plate and a party for your mouth. Both the unagi and poke bowls are a must. The unagi is just so savory. And if you are a carnivore, don't forget the teriyaki beef roll.
The restaurant is always kept very clean; clean bathrooms mean a clean kitchen, too. Several of the employees have been working there since there restaurant opened. That, to me, speaks volumes about the efficiency and the quality of the place. The servers always are polite and upbeat.
This has become my favorite sushi place in Phoenix. It's about 25 min away from my house, but I'm always willing to make the drive for good food.
