| - Is AZ cool, cultured, and hip enough for this place? Hmmmm....
The revolving sushi thing was big with the Yuppies in the Bay Area CA when I lived there in the 80's and I'm glad to see it back. So, I would really like to see this place make it. However, being that I try to be a fair critic, there will be some cons as well as pros.
Ahi has a nice, clean and bright atmosphere, that's not too busy and dizzy with the decor. There are flat screen TV's all around the walls. Plates go by slow enough to easily grab one off. They have plates that are simply color coded for pricing. Even I could do the math. Pricing is very reasonable. Service was good. Music was of good choice (says me), but could have been turned down just a hair. Take notice of their hours.
Lots of the usual choices for sashimi in this place, including a few interesting ones I have not seen before. Tried the tuna, eel, and salmon. All were fine. The only thing I have to mention is the wasaaaabi seems to have been from powder.
Don't like raw fish? Not to worry. Here are a few of the yummy food-stuff you can grab off of the revolving belt: California roll, spring rolls with sauce, soy beans in shell (how do you spell that word?), coconut shrimp, and more.
DESSERTS!
Here is an idea that occurred to me while watching the revolving plates... This is a great place to just pop in real quick for a slice of $3.00 cheesecake, or pay only $1.50 for a plate of cream puffs, or get a small slice of cake that I bet is right about the size for calorie counters.
They may need to go back to the drawing board for the lids they use on the little plates that go around. For the most part, they work ok. But until this place gets hoppin', which I hope it does, the lids need to fit on more snug. That way if food goes around more than once, it doesn't get slightly dried out. It's mostly the sushi that has rice on the outside of it that gets a little dry.
They have a menu at the table so you can order fresh sushi made just for you that is brought to the table. This worked out well for my California rolls.
KIDS -
There were some well behaved children while we were there. They have tables that seat 4, and the kids were on the outside, more away from the food. But honestly? Ask yourself if your child can resist pulling the pretty plates off of the conveyer belt. Might just be too tempting for them?
Extra note here.... The drinking ice water is good. This counts for a lot in my book.
