With all the Japanese places in Scottsdale, I think there are much better options. The ambiance and decor is trendy, but it can get noisy, really noisy. We were placed at a table near the restroom and wear servers place their orders. Since there was a ledge next to our table, the servers were constantly stacking dirty plates on the ledge next to us. This was not conducive to an enjoyable dinner. There was so much server foot traffic near our table that one of the servers practically walked into me as he turned around from their ordering station. The food was meh. I ordered the fried rice and udon noodles thinking that I was actually going to get udon noodle soup. Nope. Just udon noodles sauteed with chicken and vegetables. The food was a bit on the salty side to my liking.
