This location is right in the middle of Tempe Marketplace which is very convenient. When you walk in, you see the very interesting and contemporary decor. This is definitely a chain restaurant but that's ok. There is such thing as chain restaurant that serves yummy food :)
The service was very prompt and nice. We had usual selections of sushi which turned out to be ok, spicy tuna roll, and kabuki roll which was very interesting...better than we expected. The ama-ebi was bigger and sweeter than the one served at Shimogamo. Oh and Ikura (salmon roe) was fresh. Price wise, it was more than what we are used to b/c the prices at Kabuki in Old Town Pasadena, CA are usually cut in half all night long.
Overall, it was good enough to add to the list of fav/convenient restaurants. So Shimogamo? or Kabuki?......I say Kabuki b/c of it's fun location. You get to shop, have desserts, and the area is very lively.
*Location = good
*Price = expected...around $90/couple without alcohol
*Food = pretty good
