Yeah! We finally have found a place with delicious, creative sushi! It's just too bad that it's 30 minutes from my home.
Hubby and I sat at the bar and was warmly greeted by one of the sushi chefs, Alan. I love sitting at the bar so that I can watch the swift knife skills of the chefs. This was my favorite experience of all time because Alan educated us on the different type of rolls he was making, the types of fish and their descriptions, and even how to select a good avocado at the grocery! I usually have a difficult time conversing with the chefs because of their accents, but Alan spoke perfect English to us and Japanese to his co-workers.
This is the place to go when you are not in a hurry. You are here to dine and enjoy the food and each other. If you have a movie to catch, don't order a bunch of rolls, you'll miss the previews I'm sure. It was not a busy night and Alan had to ask the waitress three times to fill our water glasses. Never good. The sushi rolls on special were a bit more expensive than I'm used to, but it's Scottsdale, but it's in a strip mall...
The food is worth the wait. Order the Alan roll for something fresh and different.
Enjoy!
