One of the greatest dining experiences I’ve ever had. Hats off to Chef Shinji and Suzuki. Thoroughly enjoyed every single bite of this curated menu. It seemed like each plate handed to me was just as exciting as the last. Would absolutely recommend to anyone debating on going. Absolutely worth the price for the food and the experience. Also, Kevin was great!

I had the pleasure of joining my business partner for a meal here. It certainly is not your standard sushi experience by any means. The care and preparation that goes in to every dish is extraordinary. I don’t know that I’ve ever had such a meticulously orchestrated dining experience. Not for the faint of wallet, but definitely more of an experience than you will find elsewhere.

The best culinary experience I have ever had. Everything was so fresh and seasonal. Every bite tasted as good as it looked. All created by Mr. Shin himself.

This place is great but candidly I’m a little disappointed. I’m not sure if I built it up but it didn’t deliver on the hype or expectations. Having said that the experience, service, and food is superb! The service was very attentive and the environment is intimate – so much so, you become self-concious of your conversation because everyone can hear you. The ingredients are extremely fresh and out together nicely for unique tastes. However, for a tasting menu, it leaves you wanting to go get a burger afterwards because the fare is so light (which could be a good thing depending on who you are). Personally if I’m throwing down that much for dinner, I don’t want to feel like I need to go buy more dinner lol. I’d still recommend giving it a shot if you like omakase but I’ve had much better in other states so adjust your expectations accordingly.

Great service and wonderful experience. The fish and food was truly amazing and delicious. I haven’t even heard of some of the fishes and lot of the variety is not available in any Arizona sushi restaurants. Toro was great, and Uni was the best I ever had.

I’ve read the reviews on here and I can understand when people complain about hidden costs. It is a very expensive night. It’s $250 a person so my hubby and I spent $500 for sushi, then add the drinks and the other costs that these fancy places add on and gratuity; you have a $700 bill. So this is a special occasion type of place. As far as leaving here hungry, don’t be a piggy American who complains when their dinner isn’t super sized. Nowhere else in the world do they feed patrons a meal for two, meant for one. Lastly, you aren’t just paying for primo sushi which I must say this was some of the best sushi we’ve had and we’ve traveled the world. You are also paying for an Omakase experience inside a 10 seat restaurant with a twice-nominated James Beard semifinalist sushi chef. So consider that. Great service, fantastic food as close to authenticity as you can get in the middle of the American desert, and some really interesting sake. Enjoy.

This was one of the most special dining experiences of my life. Derrick the GM/host was inviting and gracious, and each delicious morsel spoke eloquently of the ocean, the forest and the field, woven into a gentle symphony of flavor by Chef Shinji and his team. The evening is presented with genuine care by Chef Suzuki. Thank you Shinbay for this exquisite evening.
