Got Sushi? — Restaurant in Mesa

So good news, if you're craving a mix of Korean and Japanese - than this is the perfect place for you! Recent changes! This used to be a Japanese inspired restaurant with sushi options and chef's that cooked your meal right in front of you. If this is what you're looking for, it isn't quite the same because it is now a Korean Barbecue location instead. But don't worry! You can still order some Japanese inspired dishes and Sushi.

They are still great for serving large parties as my family and I (table of 8) came to visit recently. The service is very friendly and try to still add a personal touch to everyone's visit.

The rolls are good, but not my personal favorite. I'd rather save room for the different dishes you can make yourself with the Korean Barbecue options. My part of the table ordered the option that included Kalbi Short Ribs, Bulgogi and Pork Belly and it was amazing! Although we were originally surprised with the changes, it turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

I only rate this experience four star because I didn't get to completely enjoy "cooking the food." Our server stood by and cooked all of our food for us. Although her intentions were good we felt very cluttered and didn't have our own space to just cook and enjoy. Unfortunately when I think of this experience I think of how delicious it was but how we were slightly uncomfortable without any privacy. (Yes, we should have said something, but we kept thinking, maybe something was broken on our side of the table?)...

We will...

I first discovered my favorite restaurant almost 6 years ago. I had never had sushi, and this is more authentic sushi; I had tried a Las Vegas roll which if you're just starting out would know is a safe, cooked sushi roll. I started with miso soup, had my meal and was pleasantly surprised. A long the way I needed up eating there just my self and My friends and family every day. The sushi cheffs are very genuine, and hard working. They personalize each experience, by that I mean other customers who are more frequent seem to all feel at home. My favorite now is a spicy salmon H.R. and the prices are wonderful. As well happy hour is most of the day so between early opening to late lunch/ dinner you won't miss out on that deal. They are very good at to-go as well! I have called 10 min away in a huge rush hoping I had time to pick up my fav. food and maybe at most I've ever had to wait was 5 min. There are many other options in the menus in case sushi is not your favorite. It feels all inclusive rathrr than just a sushi restaurant. The owners are at the resturuant often and they are a pleasure to meet. Over all I will give this place 5/5 and so will many of their long time customers. Give this place a chance because you will...

My friend and I were a walk- in tonight to get some take out sushi and meals. My friends total was $26.01, which is what he filled in for on the receipt and signed. My total was $25.99 and I handed over $26 in cash....

Maybe she thought I wouldn't hear it under her mask, but the hostess then proceeded to say "oh you're both cheap, no tip". Stunned, I said "excuse me?" then "oh, it's it normal to tip on take out?" Her reply was to show me my friends receipt and state "no, he left no tip" as if he was being rude.

Seeing as how we just put in our order after craving sushi all day, I handed her another $4 for a tip to get some peace of mind while eating our food back home. My friend and I are both great tippers, typically 20% if not more every time.... but since when do we need to tip for someone taking our order in person?

Neither my friend and I will be eating here again due to this service. Had my friend heard her comment (he is also a veteran) I am sure disrespect would have been felt and a scene would have unfolded. GOT SUSHI?...... NOT ANYMORE.

Only reason for the second star was for the food...
