Saw all the wonderful reviews, so I decided to drive 25+ miles south to Chandler to try this place. It is located in a strip mall, mom&pop place, nothing fancy about this place in term of deco, ambience or service.
To tell if a sushi place is good, it starts from the rice. Don't underestimate the skill you need for that ... it's not just your normal 'press the rice cooker button' type of rice. Only the true master can skillfully determine the right amount of rice to water proportion, time to cook it with the perfect blend of vinegar and seasoning to make good sushi rice.
The rice of this place is toward the soft side, bit too much water and overpowered by the amount of vinegar.
The freshness of the fish are in question... we tried number of nigiri and rolls ... the escolar and scallop are pretty good... but the salmon was a disappointment. You can just tell by the color ..
But the good thing is that you pay for what you get .... in a decent price range...
If you are close by, not a bad place to stop but prob not worth the 50 miles round trip
