    Crispy Trio Sampler
    Vivian V.

    We got in for happy hour at 4pm on Black Friday. Slight hesitation as there were so many dirty tables left outside on the patio, same in the restaurant as it was empty.. but the food/ drinks were good & decently priced in the Biltmore area. I recommend grabbing the crispy rice sampler! Best thing we got there

    yellowtail with serrano chili and ponzu sauce. It was just OK, my least favorite out of the 4 rolls i ordered.

    Very trendy and cute atmosphere. The menu is a bit pricey, but it's nice for a special occasion. I enjoyed all the spicy tuna rolls I ordered. The Crispy rice spicy tuna and scallop were fire.

    The restaurant is decorated and laid out nicely mid to upper scale style. They have a regular bar and a sushi bar along with table seating with plenty of space. I tried their spin on the old fashioned which featured Japanese whisky with a hint of citrus and a nutty infusion caused by the roasted sesame seeds. The drink was delicious. I also had to try their Wagyu nigiri which was amazing. My wife says "why didn't you Wagyu tail" lol The sushi rolls were great and flavorful. We also tried both the braised beef and chicken bao buns which are served and prepared taco style as opposed to being stuffed in the bao bun. The only knock on this place was that we had a bit of an inexperienced server who was not as knowledgeable about their menu because he was fairly new.

    Spicy tuna crispy rice and miso cod lettuce cups
    Alicia W.

    I came by for the first time for a Saturday lunch with a friend - I was a bit hesitant since the menu seemed a bit on the fusion-y side of things but was wanting to keep an open mind and try more restaurants around Scottsdale. We were seated immediately, it was pretty empty and a very beautifully decorated restaurant. My friend and I ordered the spicy tuna crispy rice, miso cod lettuce cups, tonkotsu ramen, and a spicy yellowtail roll. I think the spicy tuna crispy rice was just okay, definitely had better. I felt like the rice was maybe a bit too sticky/gummy and there wasn't too much flavor to the tuna. I liked the sauce with the miso cod lettuce cups and felt the cod was tender but it was a bit dry. I did enjoy the tonkotsu ramen - the broth was flavorful and the pork was tender. The yellowtail roll was also decent and had a slightly sweet sauce / taste to it. Overall, I think the food was okay but nothing outstanding especially considering the higher price tag of this restaurant.

    I was super starving when I decided on this spot. It's located at Biltmore Fashion, so plenty of parking. It's super cute inside, modern decor is nice. Service was fine, friendly. The food though? I wanted to LOVE this place. They have crispy rice which I love. I got the trio bc why not? It sounded better on paper than it tasted. There was not much flavor for anything. Normally I find foods a bit closer to salty, but it really could have used some additional seasoning. It was okay because of the soy sauce and wasabi. It didn't taste bad at all but in comparison to the crispy rice at other places, this would get 4/10. You could tell this fish was of decent quality, but the flavor development was lacking. The rice didn't even taste like it was seasoned. You get 6 pieces for $26. Probably wouldn't get this again. Braised beef bao. The bun was pretty good. This one had some seasoning, beef was decent. It was a little heavy on the pickled ginger but I was wanting some pickled ginger anyway, so I wasn't disappointed. The beef was tender. 6/10 Shishito peppers. Smokey, a bit spicy, seasoned nicely with a sweet but kinda spicy sauce. 9/10. This is almost exactly what I expect from shishito peppers. Would I eat these again, absolutely. Overall, I was disappointed in the crispy rice bc I've had it elsewhere and it tasted better for cheaper. Vibes are good, but the food was mostly mid.

    The place itself was very nice, had the feeling of a very high class diner. Unfortunately even though it wasn't too crowded, the service took a long time. The food itself was decent. I think they were going for an Asian fusion modernized type, but I was not a fan of it. The karaage just tasted like fried chicken with Szechuan peppers. I like both of those things, but I was expecting Japanese karaage, so maybe that's my fault for a wrong expectation. The sushi rolls were alright, but with the price we had to pay, not worth it. I would suggest for the restaurant adding an affordable combo meal, then I probably would've been happier

    Baked Crab Rolls, +$3 if you want real crab
    Jason M.

    It's nice inside! A mix of fancy and hipster. I felt underdressed in my athleisure wear. It would be a great place for a first date or special occasion. We parked in the free lot out front. It wasn't busy on a Tuesday night. Note: They use artificial crab in the Baked Crab Rolls ($16). We had to pay $3 more for real crab. It makes me wonder what other ingredients are substituted on the menu... I liked my chicken shoyu ramen! It had a great mix of veggies and the broth was tasty and not too salty. I think they used real chicken. My wife's obon ramen was a bit too spicy for me. Service was good! Elda R took good care of us!

    Crispy rice
    Erika P.

    Drinks were a highlight for sure. I had the Pom star which was very delicious. Tasted like a sweet tart but not overly sweet. For dinner we tried the crispy rice trio (amazing), Cod Cups (just okay), Chili sesame roll (yummy and refreshing), Dynamite shrimp roll (amazing), spicy citrus roll (didn't love). Service was really great! And vibe was nice/semi casual. I would definitly like to go back and try a few more items.

    Despite Kung Fu panda taking place in China, it turns out Po is a prodigy of Japanese cuisine as well. Po was brought to Bisutoro on this special evening for one purpose - to fulfill the prophecy of the 7th edition of a Sustainable Bluefin Tuna Dinner. Although the gang initially had their doubts due to a poor position upon entrance to the battle, Master Shi-Fu (or was it Fu-Shi, no was definitely Su-Shi) recognized Po would be the only one with powers magnificent enough to turn the tides. Among a talented crew, Po's skills quickly stood out, but in the face of early adversity, he was shifted down the line. After Tai-Lung (translated as weird slimey oyster) tried to kill the party, the Chosen One knew he had to step up. The legend that he is, Po made a heroic return to the station right in front of us. With his signature Wuxi finger hold, Po quickly assembled beautiful nigiri and sashimi. He continuously provided luxuriously fresh meals to appease the growling bellies of all the customers. And just when we thought the night was over, SKADOOSH! An delicious serving of dessert to end the scene. In all seriousness, the Sustainable Bluefin Tuna dinner at Bisutoro was a spectacular event. Although I have heard only good things about Bisutoro as a restaurant, I came in from out of town for this experience so I have not ordered off their regular menu, I and cannot speak to that. What I can do, is share what a neat occasion this was and recommend it to anyone who gets the chance. We started off with delectable appetizers that were all you can eat. Friendly servers walked around in a happy hour setting allowing people to socialize before starting. Then, the owner of the restaurant talked us through the traditions of breaking down a tuna to be used for sushi, using every last part and offering a few lucky bystanders some samples. The aesthetic was gorgeous and the excitement of the night was palpable across the entire restaurant. Vibes were phenomenal from start to finish and the food was incredible. Each dish was meticulously curated to make the fresh tuna the star of the show. Different parts of the fish were served as different plates allow us to try all that the sustainably caught fish had to offer. Accompaniments ranged from nothing for the sashimi, to perfectly simple rice of nigiri, to much more complex textures and flavors. All of the chefs were amazing. Obviously very skilled at what they do, but also just fun people to be around. Po happened to be the chef who spent a lot of time in front of us so we got to converse with him the most. No other way to put it, that guy is a legend - great chef and chill dude. If you see him as a customer, congratulations. If you see him as an employee, give him a raise. As far as ratings go, my friends and I agree that this movie of a meal is PG (Po's GOATed). No brainer 5 star on the Yelp scale too.

    Baked Crab Rolls
    Dawn M.

    Came here with my husband for date night. Super fancy! I liked the esthetics. For starters, we shared the baked crab rolls. Our waitress asked if we wanted imitation or real crab. This threw me off but we opted for the real stuff. It was a few bucks extra. They were tasty however don't think they were "baked" because they were a bit cold and only charred on top. The name is a bit misleading but oh well. I got the Obon ramen- great flavors in the broth. The red chilis were a bit spicy but if you love spice, this is your kinda bowl. The pork didn't have much meat but the mushrooms made up for it. I'd love to try their sushi happy hour next time!

    Matthew L.

    Food was good! No complaints with the taste of the food. They do have a decent cocktail menu as well as happy hour. The portions were kinda small for the price you pay. Maybe I'm not the clientele. The server was really nice!

    OBON Ramen and Steak Rice Bowl
    Lauren B.

    Overall Bisutoro was a good experience. The vibes are good, kind of a club vibe. Service was spectacular, I wish I remembered our server's name, she was great. We ordered the shrimp tempura, obon ramen and steak rice bowl. The shrimp tempura dipping sauce was a standout, but the tempura was a bit too greasy and we wished there was more shrimp in each. The steak rice bowl was good and very flavorful. The ramen was good but spicy, and that is coming from someone who likes spice! There is more on the menu we are excited to try. We'll be back!

    Dined at Bisutoro later at night, so the restaurant was not terribly busy and there was no wait to be seated for a party of 8. Our server was wonderful, and was even able to modify my order to have uni nigiri. It was restaurant week so we had a few of us who ordered the prefixed options, but by far the uni nigiri was the best in my opinion. The large pieces of pork in the tonkotsu were nice and caramelized with a slight char which added a nice texture change. As the restaurant was slowing down for the night, it wasn't horribly loud, but I can see how it would be a bit noisy during their rush hour.

It's tastefully decorated, and they have a very-on-brand, ginormous full moon light on the wall that's illuminated from behind. It's super cool. I've only ever seen a couple other diners in there with me at any time. The food comes out super fast, which is great, because I'm hungry as soon as i step in the place.

Good amount of fish vs rice. Everyone is very attentive. Service is very good. The ambiance is interesting :) nothing fancy but not too bland either. There are full moon/moon related decorations. The rolls are also named with the Moon theme in mind. Overall very nice and we will be back to try their ramen !

Upon entering, we were free to seat ourselves and chose a booth by the wall. It was not busy at all and the service was quick and friendly. We started off with a large sake bomb paired with a Kirin Light ($15). We then ordered two Tonkotsu Ramens, one medium spice and one hot spice ($15.99 each). Honestly, the hot spice level did not taste spicy at all, so I would recommend going extra hot if you like spice. They also provide chili powder on the table if you want to add more spice yourself. The ramen broth itself could have used a tad more flavor. I lightly added some soy sauce to the broth which is something I often do to add a little kick. I loved all of the toppings included, from the green onions to the kikurage (wood ear mushroom). My favorite part was the pork chashu, which was really tender and delicious. I also appreciated that the ramen came with a full soft boiled egg rather than half an egg, and the egg was perfectly runny. Before leaving, we ordered their tea special that was buy one get one. We got a matcha milk tea and a cafe latte which I forgot to take a photo of. I felt like the cafe latte could have used a little more sweetness to balance it. Also, I found it neat that Nishikawa offers a rewards program, not something I see often at ramen shops. My true rating would be 4.5 due to some of the criticisms I mentioned above, but overall I still had a good experience. Thank you for serving us. Visited 5/2/26
