    We had the most incredible experience. The food was excellent. Our service from John was the best. The lunch portions were surprisingly larger than expected. And the food was fresh. We will definitely return.

    We’ve gone to the original location several times, this was our first time at this location and we were disappointed. The food was perfect as always but the service was subpar, especially compared to the original location. Our waiter seemed annoyed the whole time and was very quiet and almost timid. We had the bartenders choose for one of the cocktails at our table. He came over with it, asked who got dealers choice, and sat it down and walked away before we had to stop and ask him what it was. The guy who delivered our food was the only one who was engaged and helpful through the whole meal. Just a totally different experience from the Chandler location, who always seem way more engaged and helpful with making decisions. We will not go back to this location.

    Overpriced with unfriendly service. Menu lacked in description. Our meals were delivered about 20 minutes apart (for 2 people). Very underwhelming experience and won’t be returning,

    We celebrated a birthday and it was wonderful! Service and food were great. Definitely make a reservation but be ready to be seated at the sushi counter. Only negative was the restaurant would run out of certain thing (i.e. first it was the bacon wrapped shrimp, then sirloin skewers, and even the sake cheesecake that I had ordered for the birthday dessert but out by the time we needed it).
