Unassuming sushi and dinner spot. The sushi is great as are the rolls - try the Dragon Roll! Happy Hour makes it a very reasonable spot to enjoy - we have several times and have NOT been disappointed!
Not sure about the last few negative reviews... We came here last night for the first time and it was AMAZING. Its 2 doors down from AZ 88. It’s tastefully decorated and has big TVs which my hubby loved for college football. We had edamame and a seaweed salad to start, and ordered 3 rolls for dinner. Everything was beautifully presented, and the fish was so fresh! I got to dine at world renown Nobu in Aspen and this fish is on par with that experience. Our server was nice and on top of everything, the Chef helped us choose one roll and recommended we try his favorite roll (PHX roll see pic). It was so good. The owner even came to our table and greeted us. Everything was great. We will be back!
It's awesome. Notably for the price. CHECK THE HAPPY HOUR- It has the flavor and atmosphere of a San Diego County neighborhood sushi bar from the 80s. No pretense, no drama. It's not the High End fancy 40 a slice sushi, but it's not supposed to be. It's a sushi bar. Okay, nitpicky details on the happy hour specials. Spring rolls should include 3, not 2. Just a bit light, there. Seaweed salad is very appropriate for the price. Miso soup is great. Exactly what you expect and need when drinking 7 sake bombs. (You should be here right now) Speaking of sake bomb, that's 7 for a 20 Oz Sapporo and a couple shots worth of sake. Why are you not here RIGHT NOW? The rolls are 6 rolls. Don't expect more than that. It's a step up from deli sushi, and exactly what you expect for happy hour bar apps at a 1980s neighborhood sushi bar. Did I say bar? And 1990s prices? No problem eating dinner here, it's affordable and centrally located. but if you want to relax and have a happy hour drink and a light meal..... WHY ARE YOU NOT HERE? Wasabi is okay. It's not bad, not super special. Very American. Neighborhood bar. The ginger is a surprise. I've had worse at very expensive sushi restaurants. Very nice. If this isn't on your happy hour menu, you are missing the best of underground scottsdale
Excellent food - ordered solely off Tuesday specials menu. Combo of Japanese sushi and Chinese dishes. Get the real wasabi - it is worth the 3
A group of us were in old town Scottsdale, and was walking around the new civic center to build up an appetite. 4 adults and 4 children that spanned the ages of 4-16, so we could have went to Grimaldi’s but passed by this place and some of the kids were tired of pizza and wanted Ramen. I know, kids tired of pizza… seems odd but true. They have a nice and clean A/C dining room but we opted for the outdoor patio seating area. As there was a nearby Jazz festival. It set the mood for a great dining experience. Ethan was our server, and even though it was a packed house, he got all of orders and assured that the food arrived nice and hot. We were happily surprised by the quality of the Tonkatsu Ramen, the noodles were just the amount of al dente and firmness. The broth was flavorful but not overly salty which complimented the pork belly and the medium egg. It was delicious and just 12. We ordered some California rolls, shrimp tempura rolls, tempura udon soup, and sashimi. It was yummy, not leftovers at all. It was delicious, my family and I returned again. Ethan and the owner are not only great “hosts” but also delivered world class customer service and hospitality at the level you may come to expect at a fine dining establishment. We will be back.
Simple menu with rolls, sashimi, nigiri and a few main dishes. It was pretty empty but I can see it being a happening place during the weekends. Great service. Food was good too. Ordered the spicy edamame, the seaweed salad (recommended), Godzilla roll, tempura udon (recommended), kontatsu ramen, lotus Chicken, and piece salmon nigiri. Came out to be around 70.
We went for happy hour dinner and ate so many delicious rolls! The sashimi wasn’t the best we’ve had and the atmosphere was very much low key, but for a weeknight dinner we still throughly enjoyed the 7 different rolls we tried. Would recommend!
This is a hidden gem. Small staff but they are on it. Nice quiet off the main strip of Old Town Scottsdale. Enters into the Civic Center Park right across from the Performing Arts Center. Perfect for date night with out the arrogance of the bigger Sushi Houses. Mt. Fuji and Flaming Dragon are the bomb. And yes, Miso and spring rolls are perfected.
