"Surprisingly I'm going to give 4 stars to Sushi Roku.\n\nHere's why...\n\nBeing that it was my first time to this location I was SUPER skeptical because it sits at the W hotel in old town Scottsdale, which is nice but, it's a restaurant, not some hot Sushi/club scene that came here from LA as people portray it to be. \n\n\nSo I was smart, I went on a Monday night when I knew the affliction and UFC crowd would be to a minimum and the staff could actually concentrate and relax instead of bustling around rushing because of a shouting, rude clientele. \n\nNot to my surprise the experience was exceptional, the staff was hands down friendly, confident in the chef and on track with recommendations including a delicious pairing with a bottle of chilled sake. \n\nI opted for the steak wrapped asparagus to begin and the stimulus menu for a main course.\n\nTo those who don't know, the stimulus menu is a 3 course meal served for $30.00 where you can choose either \"Land\" or \"Sea\" and yes, it's okay to mis-match them too. \n\nI had the \"Land\" as my first course which constitutes 3 of the restaurants most popular items, steak, chicken, etc and all were prepared absolutely to spec, well except maybe my steak was a tad cold but meh, everything was going awesome so far so why screw it up by complaining.\n\nThe second course however I had the \"Sea\" version in which 4 different pieces of nigiri are served with 3 different types of roll, also note, you can substitute fish in case you aren't feeling shrimp or whatever they serve you, a total plus. \n\nThird course is green tea ice cream, always a winner in my book.\n\nTo sum it up I'd say this location met my expectations with what I had become accustomed to with the LA locations, I'll be back for sure, just never on a weekend, not in Scottsdale at least."^^ .
