This was absolutely incredible. Our old go to sushi place changed ownership and quality, so we picked a new one based on reviews. So glad we came here tonight!
First off, the service was awesome and Jeff, our waiter, was extremely personable and attentive. He helped make our night even better.
Secondly, please do not leave without trying the Thai curry tonkatsu hot pot. Holy moly this is my new go to tonkatsu. I want this every time I’m sick now ? the broth was perfectly flavored and balanced, the chicken was soft but not chewy, the veggies were amazing, and the noodles were very well done. My husband even noticed how relaxed I got after eating it. It was perfection. The huge ass bowl was more than enough for a whole meal for two people, let alone the apps and sushi we also got.
Thirdly, the rest of the food. I am from an Oceanside city and I am incredibly picky about my seafood and sushi. I rarely find any I like in this landlocked valley. The sushi here was incredibly fresh, generously portioned, and overall amazing. We ate it before I could take pics. We got the Alaska roll, salmon nigiri, salmon crunch, and one other I forgot the name of. All were incredible.
For apps, we got the jalapeño poppers and the soft shell crab. Please, do yourself a favor and get the crab. It was a whole crab and it was juicy and flavorful. The jalapeño popper was also the perfect amount of spice; tasteful but not deadly.
The best part? For all of the above (2 apps, 3 rolls, nigiri, and a huge hot pot) plus tip was only $97.00. That was incredible.
Thank you for an incredible meal! We will be back!

Came here while in the neighborhood and wanting some sushi for lunch.
Loved everything we ordered. You certainly get your bang for your buck here. They give you a great serving/ portion size.
The scallop roll was far and away my favorite but their bento box for lunch is perfect for a well rounded and balanced meal.
Their non sushi items are just as good such as the skewers or appetizers.

So glad we came here for a late night bite. The sushi was fantastic, so fresh and creative They have an extensive food and drink menu and even though we arrived late…45 minutes before closing, the staff was welcoming and attentive. Our new favorite place!
A great restaurant with. Menu that includes selections from Korean, Japanese, and Hawaiian cuisine. As well as American sushi and Japanese sushi. Happy hour deals are great. Only complaint is the menus are SOOOO big and the tables are small making it kinda uncomfortable to hold and flip while at a full table. But worth navigating for a good dining experience.

Some of the best sushi I ever had and I’ve had it all over the world. Definitely the best I’ve had in Phoenix. Jimmy and Alan were the chefs today and I absolutely loved their Siracha shrimp roll, the salmon crunch roll, and the Vegas roll. Expertly presented, so much flavor, and the staff were all very nice, attentive, and aware of their customer’s needs. This is my fav sushi to get in AZ. I WILL have pictures next time—we ate it all before I thought to take a picture!

I really wanna like this place more. This area has really been needing a good sushi place. The food here is great! Hits the spot and delicious and fresh everytime I’ve been. The service here is incredibly slow, though. Like waiting 30+ minutes for some pieces of nigiri. If they could improve the service here, it would be 5 star!
