Best Japanese Restaurants in Central Phoenix

My 2nd time celebrating my anniversary there and it was even better than the first. Service was EXCELLENT and our food was amazing. We will definitely be celebrating a third time. My compliments to all the chefs/cooks working hard during this busy season. Cheers.

We had our First Date here and it was absolutely incredible. Staff was very attentive and did their absolute best to not interrupt conversations, or kept it to a minimum when required. I selected the Miso Salmon , and my date selected the Spicy Salmon Hand rolls. We were both very impressed with the presentation and flavor of the hand rolls. The Miso Salom was cooked beautifully to the Chefs recommendations and I would absolutely get it a second time. We shared a bottle of champagne to go with the meal and our server, Jake D. made sure that our glasses never went empty until the bottle did. Noise wise, it was what you might expect from a restraunt where each table is likely celebrating for one reason or another. That is to say it was a good level for normal conversations. No need to yell or shout, but at times I could hear the gradual rise in general volume. This was our experience when we sat outside in the patio area, I may recommend an indoor reservation if you would prefer a quieter setting.

They changed the menu and we didn’t like it as much as we used to. Also, the waiter made us wait so long to get a drink and was really just lackluster and flatlined. Not super friendly or attentive but he did take a dish off the bill that we didn’t care for that was quite bland.

Absolutely fabulous meal with outstanding service! Olivia helped us navigate the menu and ordered for us. The meal was perfect!! Great selection, amazing combination of tastes and textures, all delicious. Each time a dish was brought to the table, it was explained and then they would repeat how the food allergies were respected. It gave me great confidence the chefs were listening as they prepared food that was like great art! Loved it!

I sat at the bar and had excellent service from the bartender. Since this was my first time there, he explained items on the menu and gave suggestions. The Miso Cod I ordered was outstanding! I also ordered the scallop appetizer from the happy hour menu. Was delicious as well. I will be back to try some of the other items on the menu. They have a great selection.
