My wife and I came here for Arizona Restaurant Week.
We've never been to RA Sushi before, so we figured we'd check it out.
This is at the Kierland Commons location in North Scottsdale. We walked in and I thought it looked really cool inside. I liked the atmosphere and thought the red lights were a good touch.
Our waitress was nice, but really didn't understand the AZ Restaurant Week menu. She gave us conflicting information about it. It had been going on for at least a week but she said we were her first customers to order off that menu. Maybe she should have been trained in it better. Whatever, not a HUGE deal.
We got the pot stickers for the appetizer. It was good. No complaints there. But it reminded me of the pot stickers you sample at Costco. I wonder if they got it from there.
We ordered the Las Vegas roll and some other sushi assorted platter. The Vegas rolls were way too messy. I didn't know how to eat it with my chop sticks. Kubuki is better. The California rolls were super tiny too. I had no clue what the other thing was. I think it was salmon on top of white rice? Not impressive.
Then came desert. We got the green tea ice cream. I couldn't finish it because it tasted too bitter. My wife informed me that it wasn't bitter, but I thought it was. Maybe my pallete is off?
Anyway, it was overpriced. Our server was nice, but she didn't really go above and beyond. Would I come back? Probably not.
