I went there just before close on Friday night and ordered take-out at the kiosk. The store abiance was very cold, uninviting, and procedural, so it seemed better to leave with the food than to hang around (even better to eat in the vehicle than inside). There was very minimal interaction with the employees in the front. They seemed to be underutilized, bored, and anxious, because they had to stand there helplessly waiting for the orders to be prepared while trying to avoid eye contact with the growing line of customers waiting for their orders. It was apparent that I should have ordered in andvance, because the other customers that artived after me were served before I was. I saw my miso soup and edamame sitting on the counter at least 5-10 minutes before the rest of my order was ready, and I worried that they would be cold when I got them. When my food was finally ready 20-25 minutes after arrival, I took my order to the car and watched the employees clean up while I ate. The edimame was nicely warm and plentiful but a little undercooked. I ate them after the rest of the meal and was glad that I had ordered them, because they helped to fill me up. The soup was lukewarm but gladly not cold. It was a small serving for the $4.50 price and not a satisfying item, because it was not hot enough and had no tofu. The Yellowtail sashimi was delivious and fresh. I enjoyed every bight. The california roll was very good especially for the price of $6.50: definitely a solid choice both times I have been there. The bored wmployees in the front were very reliable at the job of preparing the orders with napkins, chopsticks, soy sauce, ginger, wasabi, and packing up the orders. I will definitely get the edamame and california roll next time and...
Read moreMy review is generated by the excitement seeing this is the same company as Bei on Scottsdale Rd. Evidently here for roughly 11 months because that is the date for virtually all the fantastic photos. Read all the reviews and most are glowing. The photos placed by Bei are fantastic! Surprised reviews positive but only one reviewer's photo. Perhaps because of the excellence of Bei photos? I saw there was a new business today and inquired as to if same company. Speaking briefly I was immediately impressed with the staff member's demeanor. She is modest, infectiously positive and enthusiastic. The paper menu is available if you want one. My not terribly important point it is mostly in small print and on two sides of legal sized paper. She said that Hayden Rd menu not quite as big as Scottsdale Rd menu. I offer 5 stars based on an excellent set-up. Prior to my doing take out or eat in. The patio, as with everything else is a brilliantly created environment. Perhaps you might agree a place like this is not going to then offer less than terrific food. Adding to the review and offering 5 instead of 4 stars. I did take out and the other person is an accomplished cook. In sharing 5 items the praise was high for true enjoyment and recognizing how fresh everything it. The person typically eats small amounts but ate 1/2 and more of Bei...
