El Tataki Sushi — Restaurant in Goodyear

So yesterday I ordered a Crunchyroll with no cucumber. Online their website says it is $13.50 when I went into the restaurant to order because you can’t order online and they’ve never answered the phone I get the bill and it’s 17.21. The price they charge me was a couple dollars more than the listed price on the menu. I gave the person at the register a 20 expecting $2.79 in change. She was gone for several minutes and came back with five1 dollar bills. I thought well I’m hot. I’m tired. I’m hungry. I’m not gonna mess with it so I went ahead and took the five $1 bills and gave her a dollar back for a tip. She folded it and put it in her pocket. Well, I’m waiting for my role and I noticed the manager is over talking to the sushi chef And while talking to him, he takes his bare hand and grab some food from the preparation station and proceeds to eat it while he’s talking to the cook. So I’m kind of grossed out because I just saw him handling all those tablets that the waitresses use and I know those are probably really nasty and I’m pretty sure he didn’t wash his hands cause he stayed in my eyesight. So anyway, I went ahead, took the role went home. Loved it. Thought you know what I’m gonna have one again before I leave out of town I go to the restaurant again. I order the same sushi she roll again. I’m charged 17.21 Which is again a couple dollars higher than posted on the website so I decide to ask about it. She tells me oh those are old prices. dishonest like a bait and switch when you post one price and then charge people a different price sounds pretty illegal but anyway aside from that so I’m waiting for my role and I get home open up the container and only two of the pieces have avocado and it’s a very teeny tiny sliver so not only the food inconsistent. The manager does not wash his hands and eats food from the sushi preparation table, which is really nasty but they are also posting one price and charging something quite a bit different oh and kicker is this time she came back with five1 dollar bills just like yesterday except this time she took some of the money back, folded it up and put it in her apron so she essentially gave herself a tip so that was really weird so I don’t think I will be back there ever again and it’s too bad because the food that I had was tasty, even though it wasn’t prepared as per the menu, but just some really shady stuff going on in that store. And there’s no corporate office to complain to, but I will definitely be contacting the people that do restaurant inspections for sure. Wanted to love it, but too...

I have mixed feelings about this place. Don't get me wrong the food was delicious, great food and such a huge variety to choose from. Its not just sushi, they have fried rice, and steak as well as traditional sushi and Mexican style "sushi". I loved the fried avocado 😋 👌. I would definitely recommend trying this as an appetizer to share or as a meal, its huge. Very tasty and so many textures that make it incredible. All the food was amazing, shout out to whoever prepared our meals. My drink was so appealing to the eye. I have to say be careful with that first drink amd mix before drinking. I didnt mix and my first sip was straight alcohol and I decided I was not an Aztec empress ( name of the drink). After mixing it was delicious. The service was the best. Their girls at this location were on it, checked on their customers, we loved it. 😍 great job to the staff, thank you for making our time enjoyable. I gave 3 stars because of the small the space is between tables, and how hot it is. The tables were too small that our plates and drinks barely fit and we felt like we have to keep moving stuff around. My plate was sitting diagonally in front of me because that's the only way it fit. The air was so stagnant even with a couple fans going. It was so hot in there that it was uncomfortable. We had a great time though but we probably won't be returning to this location just because of the heat, hopefully they fix it. Who knows I might just for the amazing service we received. Thanks to the staff, here's a shout out to you for doing a great job. Hopefully they get those AC'S blasting for you so you can work in comfort and your patrons can enjoy in comfort....

We have had sushi all over the world. This was neither authentic nor a well thought out fusion. We were the only ones for lunch and decided to order the firecracker jalapeno appetizer, the tuna and salmon nigiri and a couple of their rolls. The jalapeno appetizer was pretty good but the jalapenos tasted more like bell peppers. The nigiri was inedible and the server took it right back. The rice on the nigiri was cold, dry and flavorless. The raw fish was bottom of the barrel quality. For some reason the nigiri was served with lemon wedges? Raw fish and citric acid don't mix for a reason, it's overpowering and turns the raw fish a nasty color. The rolls were all beautiful but cold and over-sauced. The reason for the sauces became apparent when we tasted the subpar fish in the rolls. The tempora roll was ice cold. The fried onions were also very hard and cold. We found more lemon under the fried onions and the seeds had not even been removed. Due to the sauces and garnish we were able to eat the rolls but were not impressed. The spicy mango roll was pretty good, but it was more dessert than sushi. The server refused to let us pay after we told him and he tried very hard to stand up for the restaurant. Hopefully we just had bad luck but there are better and cheaper sushi options in the local area. If they ever switch fish suppliers and use warm, fresh, and properly seasoned sushi rice I bet this place...
