The hubs and I have driven by this place a million times since we moved here to Phoenix over a year ago but never managed to fit it into our dining out schedule. When my sis and bro in law came to visit for New Year's weekend and they were craving sushi we decided to hit this spot up.
We arrived around 8pm on Friday night and the place was still poppin' with people...we took that as a good sign. It's a small and cozy place but we were seated right away. The staff and chefs were friendly and welcoming so we were excited to sit down for dinner especially when our server told us all about their tapas specials. Awesome! Be warned, they do have a lot of menus so it gets a bit overwhelming but it's easy to just ask the server to explain things - she was super nice!
We tried several of the tapas including the shitake mushrooms and green beans. Umm...amazing stuff. We then ordered 5-6 rolls for all of us and enjoyed our favorites like unagi, spicy tuna, salmon skin and shrimp tempura. Let me just say that even there was not one grain of rice left on our plates. We demolished everything we ordered!
The best part was that this place has such a cozy feel and a nice ambience that we had a great time talking and hanging out even after we devoured all our food. We didn't even realize that the place had closed while we were sitting there! 20 minutes after closing time we realized what time it was and promptly got up...but the staff never rushed us or made us feel like we had to interrupt the nice night out we were having.
We arrived excited for dinner and left happy knowing we have a new sushi spot just around the corner. Woo-hoo!
