"I love the \"Fire In The Mouth\" roll with jalapenos (also tried the Marilyn Mon-roll which was good as well and comes with a rice wrapper instead of rice and seaweed if I recall so it's a \"lower carb\" option.) \n\n+ They have a nice small sized house salad with wasabi in the dressing. \n+ At lunch they gave me a free miso soup. \n+ They sell Asahi Dark which is one of my favorite beers and you rarely see it. \n+ Friendly staff. \n+ Very conveniently located near a Sprouts health food grocery store so you can run other errands and they probably get some of their produce fresh from there. \n+ The low carb sushi rice wrapper idea is inventive.\n\nI live near Japantown in San Francisco and I can tell you that this place is very good. \n\nI tried Bei (also near Scottsdale) a few months ago and didn't like it as much but I think they'll probably do ok because they seem to appeal to a younger crowd that just doesn't know any better. \n\nWhen I travel outside of San Francisco/Japantown I miss eating Japanese food and I always try the local places but usually end up disappointed. I find that most Japanese places outside of major urban areas are not that great...for instance, I ate at 3 Japanese places outside of Baltimore, MD last month and none of them were very good. \n\nIn short, if you are visiting Scottsdale from a big city and you are missing good Japanese food you will like Sushi J. Dinnertime seems popular but lunchtime is more quiet and slower if you don't like crowds - the restaurant is a nice cool dark break from the heat outside."^^ . "0"^^ . . . "5"^^ . "0"^^ . "2"^^ . .
