A true gem in Scottsdale and I probably shouldn't be yelping because I want to keep them a hidden secret.
My friend and I went there for dinner, twice, in a 7 day period, so that says a lot.
As self proclaimed sushi aficionados, we went for the dinner, and stayed off the $5 HH menu to really get a sense of their handling of the fish.
What we ordered:
- negi hama roll (chunky)
- uni nigiri
- spicy scollops nigiri
- okonomi chirashi
The fish is fresh and you can tell by the cut and taste.
The presentation is serene and traditional with attention to detail.
They've non of that Scottsdale trendiness or the culinary "fusion" invasion.
The portion is generous and you'll going home satisfied and happy.
The service is good (Ken and his family are super nice and attentive, our cup of tea is never empty). The location is convenient and centralized.
In the sea of trendy sushi restaurants where the California roll, the deep fried stuff drenched in mayo aioli or sake bombs dominate the scene, Sushi Sen is a place for reliable, traditional Japanese food.
