Ra’s Old Town location is as much about the scene as it is the sashimi. The trendy eatery has a bright crimson color scheme (including red walls and glowing light fixtures), as well as a posh party atmosphere. The patronage skews young, as it’s often filled with the date night crowd and twentysomethings downing cans […]
Cool sushi bar/restaurant serving Japanese and Korean food. The sushi, especially the nigiri sushi, is of pretty high quality, and Takamatsu also offers Korean table barbecue. But the menu is extensive, and this may be your chance to venture into realms of Korean cookery that you’ve yet to explore. A little intestine casserole, anyone? Or […]

Scottsdale’s uber-stylish Roka Akor, a spin-off of London-based Roka, sets itself apart from the Valley’s myriad other Japanese restaurants by specializing in robatayaki, Japanese-style grilled dishes; a few are traditional, but many have a creative, contemporary spin. Of course, there’s sushi here, too, as well as other top-notch tapas-style dishes. Honey-glazed grilled duck breast, butterfish […]
A place to see and be seen, and suck down some topnotch sushi while doing so.

Chandler’s hottest sushi restaurant offers a whole spread of sashimi, nigiri and maki, including sometimes hard-to-find options such as escolar, sweet shrimp and sea urchin. Crazy, modern rolls aren’t really the name of the game here, though you can get delicious and sometimes unexpected sushi rolls, such as the Zen Roll made with spicy yellowtail, […]

Hip, urban, Dr. No-like sushi joint from the team that gave Scottsdale the funky-fresh tiki lounge Drift. Decor features zebra wood tables, Japanese-style restrooms, and a tank in the floor of the entranceway featuring several live stingrays. Nigiri sushi is first-rate, but the maki still needs some work, so steer away from those until the […]
The sushi here is excellent, but you’ll also want to try the crisp, spicy-sweet Cucumber Salad. California rolls are a must, as are these other sushi sensations: Salmon rolls; Mackerel or Yellowtail rolls; Stripped Bass sushi; Hand rolls; and Motorola Rolls-you won’t find these in even the most exclusive sushi spots! Also great: tasty, pork-stuffed […]
