"Google reviewers gave it a 4.6. I wanted sushi, and it was on my way. Eastern Phoenix is located right on the White Horse Pike, a click West of EHC downtown, but it is a little tricky to find from the east going west because of the lack of lighting. The parking lot was empty, and the lights were dim. So I scratched my head, thinking, Houston, we have a problem! And to make things worse, a sign on the door said, Kitchen Help Wanted. Usually, it means time to run. But, my hunger got the best of me, and they were open, so I entered and received a not-so-friendly greeting from the young women behind the counter. There are a few tables, booths, and a small sushi bar with four seats. The restaurant is clean but a little crowded with supplies. I opted for a booth that was already set up. It was quiet. Once I got comfortable, it took a few minutes to get a menu and drink request and she warmed up a bit. But, I did notice hearing new orders popping through the system, so they were a little busy with to-go orders. The menu is decent, with Japanese, Chinese, and other Asian options. I ordered a Maki combo that included three assorted rolls and came with Miso soup and garden salad with ginger dressing. The Miso soup was delicious and a nice-sized bowl, so I ordered a pint to go. The salad was just an Iceberg, as expected, with ginger dressing. The three Maki rolls were excellent in size, and each had its distinguished taste and came with an adequate amount of ginger and wasabi. I also ordered a Philly and California roll, which were perfect portions. Overall, my experience was surprisingly good after breaking through the barriers. Pricing, portions, and presentation were above expectations. I loved my experience and will try again when in the area."

"I was sad this time when I went. If basing it on just this experience, I would have given an even lower rating. The first time we went, had a excellent meal. I don 't know if ownership has changed or if it was just an off night. Firstly, there was a bar tender who was just soo loud and we were on the other side of the restaurant. And he was talking politics loudly. I don 't care if I agree or disagree with what you are saying, I don 't pay to go out to dinner to have to hear someone yell about their political views. Our server, while friendly enough, was too attentive and then not at all attentive. She came over 4 times in less than 8 minutes while we were trying to decide what to order and then once we put our drink and appetizer order in, we barely saw her at all. She forgot 1/2 my order (there were only 2 of us, so not a hard order). We ordered a second round of drinks, she never put them in. The food was not great. The bread served at the start was not fresh made and very dried out (not like intentionally crisp just like it had been sliced hours head of time). My appetizer of stuffed long hots which she claimed would be a religions experience was not cooked. The peppers were still raw. The sausage they were stuffed with I couldn 't even taste. If I didn 't know that is what it was, I would not have been able to guess. My husband 's app tasted like it was drowned in lemon juice. And his veal and pasta dish was dry. My ravioli were ok, but nothing to get excited about. My drink, a cocktail they call ice pick, from the bar was very good. I was upset my second never made it over. The gentleman serving water and clearing our plates was very good. It was expensive as well. Just 2 of us, 1 drink, app and entree each and it was over $100 before tip. Sadly with other options in the area, we will probably not go back."
