| - I didn't really LOVE my experience here, but for those who enjoy creative and fusioned sushi or a good sushi happy hour, this is a great place to go. The menu is pretty impressive with all sorts of sushi concoctions that I have never seen, but I like my sushi pretty standard and not too crazy, so I ordered (ironically) the Crazy Horse roll, which is tuna, yellowtail, and salmon rolled with avocado and topped with tobiko. I don't have TOO much to complain about regarding the size of the rolls (they were decent) or the taste (it was ok considering this is tempe, arizona), but I think I was most turned off by the service and prices of the restaurant.
When my friends and I walked in, happy hour was happening, so it's understandable that the wait staff were busy, but come on. Seat us already. Or at least acknowledge us. When we were finally seated, our waitress kept huffing and puffing while taking our order. I understand she may have been having a bad day or have been stressed, but whatever. Stay profesh. Then, one of my friends orders the tempura mix, and when it came out, it was missing the prawns, so what happens? The waitress brings out a single fried prawn on a plate...15 minutes later. Um...no. The age-dofu was also kind of meh. On top of that, I was confused about who was actually serving our table because the girl wait staff kept tag-teaming our table with the guy wait staff, and even then, the service was not awesome. The whole experience altogether just kind of totaled a bit too much for a sort of blah experience, so I'm pretty sure I'll be going elsewhere for sushi around these parts.
