As soon as we walked in the door, we were carded by the hostess and given wristbands to wear so our waitress would know we were legal drinking age. I have to say that was a first for me at a restaurant. Bizarre, but ok, I get it...Tempe is a college town. They must have been busted previously. \n\nOur server was very attentive and friendly. We liked her a lot. It was \"interesting\" to see 3 college aged guys behind the sushi counter rolling maki rolls. They probably went to ASU. This is who was making our sushi. \n\nThe garlic shrimp appetizer was amaze balls actually. I mean, really really good! The sushi however was below mediocre. Not much flavor and tasted like something I could purchase at a grocery store. A for effort, but not good. At. All.\n\nDefinitely will not go back, but once again the service was great. The sushi, not so much.
