| | "I´ve been to more than 65 sushi bars over a five year period doing research for my book, ´Excuse Me But I Think You´re Eating My Sushi!´ Anyway, this place is at the top of the list for great chefs, great service, delicious and fresh sushi, and a lot of fun. Do not miss this place if you are in the area. (And you must try a sake bomber!)" |

| | " NEVER EAT HERE!!! I had a terrible experience here on my last anniversary. I had
called to verify their all-you-can-eat pricing. AFTER eating, the manager said that 'yesterday was
the last day for all-you-can-eat. I explained that I had called. She (very rudely) said, 'I was
here! You no call!' I quoted their phone number to her, and she still said, 'YOU NO CALL!'
Having been called a liar and embarrassed before the other patrons, I told her, 'Fine! But I'm
never eating here again!' The manager was unprofessional, unfriendly, and unwilling to settle a
misunderstanding caused by one of her employees. Instead, I recommend the nearby restaurant
'Sakana' in Ahwatukee is MORE FRESH, and they have LARGER portions!
