“ By far my favorite sushi and ramen bar in Scottsdale. The restaurant is large, fun, and modern. The vibe is always fun and comfortable. The staff is always very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We always feel amongst friends when dining. The drink menu is very creative and features unique and fun cocktails. The food menu is extensive and delicious. The apps, entrees, ramen bowls, and small plates are all delicious. Highly recommend animal fries, Obon edamame, and the steambuns for starters. The teriyaki dish and pork ramen are both fantastic. Overall one of the best dinner spots in Scottsdale. Happy hour is also very good and worth checking out. Great place for a date nite or family dinner. ”
“ Good food. The restaurant was short staffed due to unexpected issues but staff kept us informed of a little longer wait and the food was still excellent. I really enjoyed their version of the street noodles. ”
“ First time here and it was great. The atmosphere is loud and vibrant. It's got a neighborhood vibe like I could take my kids here or go on a date. The food is delicious and the staff are all very nice and attentive. Highlights: pineapple sake- pretty fantastic, eating your way through the happy hour sushi menu, those chicken wings- I'm not sure what's on them but I definitely need more. Will definitely be back. ”
“ The food and service is always great. Yesterday on my last visit I was waiting for my friend to join. In that time I was a harassed by an older male. The staff was aware of it, checked in on me, and made me feel safe. Thank you! ”
“ Used to live across the street and come here all the time when they first opened. Decided to come back and visit and while the food was solid it was not as good as as before. They've reduced some of their options change from the menu got rid of some of their specials the happy hour isn't quite as good as it used to be and the ramen seemed saltier by a good bit, not only then they're ramen used to be it was also saltier than other ramen I've had recently as well. Staff was friendly and and the vibe there is nice. ”
“ My wife and I went to a show and we needed some food after it ended. Thankfully on a Sunday night this place was open till 9. It was what we needed. Some good Ramen. We arrived about 45 minutes before they closed. The staff was very courteous and helpful. The menu was perfectly balanced. We both ordered drinks. My wife got a local margaritas and she enjoyed because it was not too spicy. As for me I had to enjoy an Orion. Our Ramen arrived in a decent amount of time. Both of them were well presented and with fresh ingredients. I ordered the Obon Ramen and it was simply delicious. All the ingredients mixed well and the broth was amazing but not overly spicy. My wife enjoyed the original Ramen and she was also impressed. Thanks for a wonderful dining experience. ”
“ Very yummy and nice sushi restaurant in Scottsdale. I just came here accidentally but everything was wonderful. I extremely love Salmon Sashimi here, they were so fresh and Miso soup also a good choice. The restaurant is very clean, the staff is friendly, the atmosphere is comfortable, perfect. You can pick the table outside too. The location is quite far from my home but I do not mind :) In general, highly recommended ”
“ Really nice staff with amazinggg food! My bf and i had to go two days in a row! Can’t wait to go back and enjoy some more food!
