    One of my favorite PHX restaurants - everything was great from the service to the vibe to the food. Only issue was there was too much dressing on all of our salads. Next time I will get dressing on the side for sure!

    Came in for a quick bite! Everything we had was fabulous. One of my favorite sushi restaurants to go to when I fly in from New York. Had the toro which was to die for! Had the tuna tartare on crispy rice, the kimchi wagyu beef dumplings and my husband had the tuna and salmon avocado rolls. Normally I don’t eat salmon but here I do! I only wish there was a place that had this type of service, ambience and to die for amazing and fresh sushi in New York, which you would think existed!

    I was so pleasantly surprised at the quality of food and service! The establishment is so old that I thought it would be equivalent to the old spaghetti factory, smelly, old with quality being something lost 20 years ago. The food was great and I was shocked how busy it was on a Sunday night. We were at the Teppanyaki table and it was entertaining along with delicious and a tremendous amount of food!
