Good tasting, nice ambiance, and friendly.
Little pricey tho, but that's what you get when you are across the street from the Wigwam Resort.
I love the area... the green of Old Litchfield Road always pleases me and I like that you get to park on the street. (can you tell I've lived in Phoenix my whole life? lol) Almost has an Old Town Scottsdale feel to the area.
The decor inside the restaurant was tastefully modern. A very small sushi bar, but with a large alcohol bar. The dining room doubles as a dance floor, according to the disco ball hanging above it.
My sister and I went... she was the one who recommended this place and lives in the area.
We had the edamame (which was excellent... I don't know how other restaurants manage to mess up edamame, but these were good) and veggie and calamari tempura as an appetizer.
To me, calamari tempura is a waste of time. There was no seasoning and it was very bland, so I guess it's geared more for the texture eater.
We had the Arizona roll (awesomely spicy), the Yellowtail Lovers roll (not bad, but slightly fishy, which isn't normal for yellowtail), and the Las Vegas roll.
The Las Vegas roll was the biggest Las Vegas roll I have ever seen in my life. Naturally, it's a large piece anyway with the cream cheese, avocado and eel and deep fried, but this had spicy crab on top with the eel sauce drizzled over it.
You cannot eat those pieces in one bite... trust me, I tried. lol (I about made my sister blow tea out her nose, laughing)
I wish I could because it's great all together... very complementary flavors.
The people were nice too... they were joking around with each other and very tolerant of our loud laughing in the nearly empty restaurant.
