I lived in Japan & like what they're doing here, a small space used very well w/ fresh fish & solid rice that holds firm... What a great addition to this corner of Scottsdale. The food is spot-on & the patio is perfect for lazy afternoons, yet the walls open to the outside so you can sit at the bar and feel like you're outside anyway.
I ordered the Grilled Squid, Spicy Tuna & Spicy Crab rolls. To my surprise the squid was not breaded at all, but grilled and served w/ a spicy aoili type sauce that is plate-licking good! The Flying Phoenix is amazing! Tempura shrimp, spicy crab, avacado, tuna tataki w/ black pepper sauce. Our of this world and like that is named after the staple of this valley. The Spicy Tuna & Spicy Crab rolls or what you would expect from a mixed role but delicious nonetheless.
As a bonus a full, top 100 of 1970's disco flows from the sound system. Bring it!
