We have gone here once or twice a year for quite some time and this was the worst the food has been. I got tempura and katsu. The chicken was so tough I couldn’t cut it will a fork and the veggies were very under...done that a fork wouldn’t cut through the sweet potato or zucchini.More

If you’re looking to spend a lot of money for poor and ugly looking sushi, this place is right for you. In our time there we’ve never been asked how everything was or if it’s all good. The sushi was poorly made contents falling out...and our Las Vegas roll was a buttload of cream cheese and warm not fresh hot. You could go to a belt sushi place and you’ll have much better sushi at the 1/3 of the price. Another point is it was expensive you’d expect high quality and lovely presentation. Nope honestly I’d give this place 0 rating.More

I would like to let you know that we went to your restaurant tonight with out of town guests. We had bradded about your food from previous visits. Once again the food was excellent. However, the server was NOT! He responded to questions with flippant...answers and two tables were served drinks before us even though they were seated after us. I wanted to leave but my friends wanted to stay due to the fact that I had bragged about the fool. A couple next to us left after being ignored for several minutes. When the food was delivered it was good even though there were some mistakes; simple mistakes that we could live with. However, when I tried to get the server's attention to pay my bill, I finally had to flag down someone else who initiated our paying the bill. On the bill there was a 15% gratuity included because we were a party of 6. Our party of 6 included a 1 year old and a 5 year old!!! I am generally a very generous "tipper" but this service did not warrant 10% let alone 15% gratuity. I was finally "tossed" the paid bill onto the table. To be honest, it was not just the server who seemed inconvenienced by our patronage. The hostess was indifferent about our seating, some young man who got us drinks barely responded to us and a young lady helping the server stated, "He is a bit overwhelmed" when I complained about his lack of attention to us. Great food!!! Terrible service!!! Sincerely, a Paradise Valley repeat customerMore

Been craving a Chinese chicken salad for weeks and finally took the plunge... Although theirs is made with turkey ..I actually preferred it. Great portion size, yummy dressing and the rice cakes they added really took it to the top. Great service.. professional and friendly!

This restaurant has been here forever. Ten years ago we ate lunch here frequently. Their signature dish is turkey salad. We both ordered it. I ordered a half order. It covered the entire dinner plate but there was no turkey, there were a few and...I mean very few -slivers of commercial turkey breast in a huge plate of cole slaw- cabbage and mayonnaise topped with peanuts. But where was the turkey? My husband had a combo plate of turkey salad with tempura. It was served with half a plate of plain rice (maybe 7x5) with two additional rice rolls (like naked sushi) The tempura batter is not panko, it was heavy and greasy. My guess us there are no Japanese cooks in the lunch kitchen. The worst “Japanese” meal we ever ate. In a restaurant we have eaten in dozens of times. Different owners I guess. The last springMore

We went on a Friday for lunch. Not too busy so we were seated right away. Waiter was friendly and professional. He answered all our questions about the menu. I liked the coconut shrimp and the cucumber salad . We will come again!

W evisit the kids while in Phoenix and this place is our Go-To for lunch at least once a week. The sushi is great as well as their lunches. I like the bento Box, lots of favorites and plenty of food for the big guy!...Monday eve, 5PM, they have .25 Cent draft beer, yes even Blue Moon for .25 cents! Our favorite is the Shogun Chicken with noodles no rice. Normally you get both rice/Noodles! Another is the Turkey salad, a great dish with not alot of calories. You can't go wrong, but on Mondays (5PM) its gets busy! Say HI to Sam the owner, tell'm Brady Sr, sent you!More

Went in for a business lunch and ordered their bento boxes - please note that you’ll have to ask the hostess for a bento menu as they don’t just hand those out. They will give you a small piece of paper and pen for you...to select the items you want. You get to choose a salad, sushi, entree, a dumpling, and it comes with rice and edamame. Very filling and enjoyed it but the taste was just okay and the noodles I got were pretty bland.More

The menu is not overly traditional Japanese and neither are the recipes, but the portions are enormous, the prices reasonable, and the food pretty tasty. I had the combo turkey salad and shogun chicken. Both were good and enough to more than two meals, and...only $13.More

We have been dining here for many years. My daughter loves their sushi. I like the tempura. A classic Japanese dining experience in North Scottsdale. Not my first choice in dining, but when the family wants Japanese, I am happy dining here.
