There is a serious lack of delicious sushi restaurants in the West Valley, so when I saw Sushi Catcher listed as the "Best in the West" in Phoenix magazine, I immediately wanted to try it. We visited on a Friday around 5pm. I was worried that it would be packed because the article in PHX mag had just come out, but there were only two tables occupied when we arrived.
We ordered large beer and saki combos which were only $5 a piece. They brought us complimentary cucumber and crab salads to start, which were so vinegary and delicious. We completely over ordered here because we are used to small sushi rolls at every place we go. We were not ready for the magnitude of the rolls at Sushi Catcher. We also ordered Gyoza, which came with this heavenly cilantro/spicy/sweet pepper dipping sauce that was so good I wanted it pumped into my veins. The rainbow roll was to die for. One roll that I nor my husband were fans of was the scallop roll with salmon on top. I love scallops when they are cooked, but when they aren't, the texture and flavor was enough to make me gag. I couldn't eat more than one piece of this roll. I just took the salmon off the top and ate it sashimi style.
They brought us a complimentary sampling of mochi ice cream in a couple of flavors and a scoop of green tea ice cream in the middle after the meal. The mochi was a little like the ice cream was surrounded by the squishy inner-part of a jelly bean.
Over all, we loved most of the meal, but I'll have to go back one more time, maybe order a bento box, in order to push my review up to five stars.
