I'm not much of a review-writer, but we had such a disappointing experience at this restaurant tonight I had to share my honest opinion with you. My husband and I show up for a bite and a drink during Friday night happy hour prior to a show at the Arts center. When we arrived there were only 3 tables with people at them, and we put our orders in quickly. Then we waited. And waited. And waited some more. About an hour later we finally received our first roll (a simple vegetable roll, nonetheless) and the one piece of tempura inside it was cold, limp, and soggy. About 15 Mins later we got our other dish. We noticed other tables weren't receiving much food, and people were definitely looking restless. By that time there were 8 tables total with people seated - more than when we started, but certainly not overwhelming. Meanwhile, there was only one sushi chef, one waiter/bartender, and one short order cook in the back who was doubling as a waiter. We -of course- never got a refill on water, had to ask twice or three times for everything, and the food was mediocre at best. My husband finally got up to pay at the bar instead of trying to wait to flag down the poor waiter. It was, of course, not the waiter's fault. The place got hit with a bigger crowd (8 tables) than they expected. But it's Friday night. In Scottsdale. Next to a busy theater and gallery. This place advertises its happy hour all over its website and yelp. They obviously don't expect more than a few tables to show up, because they aren't prepared for more than that. It definitely made us question the freshness and quality of the food - if your restaurant is only expecting a couple of tables on a Friday night, how much fresh food are you stocking? I fear, by the taste of everything, not much. Save yourself a few hours of listening to blaring techno music while you wait for bad food and go elsewhere."^^ . .
