This is 4 stars because the Sushi here is always consistant, fresh and good. Hard to say that about a lot of AZ places. The place is old (it's been around a long time), and the wait staff is good. I think some of these reviews confuse ESL speakers as bad wait staff... but that's not fair. We've eaten there about 30 times in the last 6 years or so. They are always nice to us. If you're looking for Morton's or Ruth Chris service, not the place for you. Just a great local Japanese restaurant that has charm. Worth a try.
