| - Hmmm sushi in Scottsdale, Arizona...
The goods - there is usually little wait, the music is good, and the sunday specials rock my sox. The staff is usually attentive and down to earth, and the food usually comes out pretty quick. It is hard to find a good mojito in this darn town let alone anywhere, and they make a MEAN mango mojito. The crazy monkey roll is my absolute favorite with a lot of flavor, but its definitely an acquired taste (if you are a nigiri lover, this is probably not the one for you). They are open late night too which is great and hard to find in the n snottsdale area.
The bads - they are not always consistent with their fish. Sometimes its great, other times it absolutely blows --- the nigiri is a toss up. A seasoned sushi-er knows when something is not right; I put a piece of nigiri in my mouth that tasted way off, and what do you know it came right back up about 10 minutes later. Normally, I would swear to never return to a place that caused unnatural regurgitation, but the manager was quick to rectify the situation, covering our food on our bill and offering us a voucher for a free dinner of whatever we wanted next time we came back in [this however did not go as planned - check out my review on the ra downtown] Another time I found a bone in my salmon nigiri, definitely not ok. The scene here too is simply obnoxious at certain hours, not as bad at this location though than others.
Its worth a try, and I do still dine here, but your money is only worth it during the happy hour specials.
