There is a strong possibility that this is the best sushi in Phoenix. For whatever reason, most sushi places stateside never use enough vinegar in their rice. The result is a mediocre, bland experience. When people think of sushi, they think of just fish. Rice is actually the most important ingredient for sushi. Everytime I come here I'm just so blown away by the quality of the rice that I sometimes forget about the quality of the fish (which is always good, as well). Everything on the menu has its strengths, but I recommend the tuna and yellowtail. Prices are on the high end; expect to pay for quality. The owner/chef is nice, and the wait staff is always consistently accommodating. The location itself is nothing special, but there are no glaring drawbacks. Simple and elegant - that is the essense of sushi, and this place gets it right.
