    Cucumber mint gin drink (forgot the name)
    Jordan E.

    My partner and I happened to come in the day they implemented a menu change for happy hour and their drinks so I don't remember the names since I can't find them online BUT overall the drinks were fairly yummy! The cucumber mint one I expected to be more on the refreshing side than the sweet side but still tasted good, just a little less simple sugar and maybe add a splash of citrus and it'll boost it. The spicy tuna was great! Only thing was the spicy tuna on top felt like a mile to get through because there's a lot on top but the flavor was great. We also got the dynamite shrimp roll and the edamame which were both great and flavor as well! Our server was attentive and asked us questions about how we felt about the new drinks and I also told her some of my favorite cocktail spots for a good experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was fairly quiet in there during happy hour so it made it easy to talk, the lights were dimmed and it matched the whole vibe inside of the building which I loved.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Had a great early evening experience at Obon. It was the weekend before Thanksgiving and the last full rainy day we had in Phx. After coming from the mall and running through the parking lot in the rain, we cozied up at the bar. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a pretty intimate experience considering that there weren't many ppl inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our bartender gave some great suggestions, as it was my first visit. And we unknowingly came in during happy hour, WIN. I had the watermelon sake and my friend had the thaigers blood. For food we ordered the charred shishitos(the dipping sauce is SO GOOD), scallop crispy rice, maki, and the gyoza. I was thoroughly impressed and cannot wait to return.

    Crispy Trio Sampler

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

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is decorated and laid out nicely mid to upper scale style.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a regular bar and a sushi bar along with table seating with plenty of space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were seated immediately, it was pretty empty and a very beautifully decorated restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

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

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very trendy and cute atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    I was super starving when I decided on this spot. It's located at Biltmore Fashion, so plenty of parking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's super cute inside, modern decor is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Bingo and I did happy hour at Bisutoro Sushi Bar and Grill in Biltmore Fashion Plaza. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The patio space is small but dog friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The happy hour menu had some great selections and the happy hour prices were very reasonable. The best were the waiters and chef. They were so nice to prepare this salmon cut roll especially for Bingo, so he could have something to eat too. Bingo enjoyed it. I definitely want to go back and try their Argentine Sizzling Ribeye. The table across from us had ordered it and it smelled delicious.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place itself was very nice, had the feeling of a very high class diner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    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!

Definitely a vibe for anime lovers! Food-wise, we started with the gyoza and they were delicious. Perfectly cooked and even better dipped in the ponzu sauce! We also tried the sushi flight, which was a great way to sample a few different flavors. Overall, I really enjoyed it, although the eel was probably my least favorite of the flight just personal preference. The crispy tuna rice was easily the star of the meal! Crispy, flavorful, and the textures worked so well together. I would 100% order that again. The ramen, however, was just okay for me. It wasn't bad or inedible, but the broth was lacking that rich, deep flavor I look for in a good bowl of ramen. A little more depth and seasoning would really take it to the next level. The service was honestly one of the highlights. Our waiter was super friendly, cool, and attentive without hovering, which I always appreciate. Overall, there were definitely more hits than misses. The great service, fun atmosphere, and crispy tuna rice are enough for me to give Full Moon Izakaya another try. Next time, I'll be exploring more of the menu!

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

Most of the lower set tables were taken so the rez came in handy. Ample bar seating available however. Greeted right away by server and offered drink menus. Both the drinks were phenomenal. I originally wanted the Asahi but they were out of it so they gave me a Japanese Lager from Los Angeles (?), blanking on the name. The Caipirinia was the other drink which was made authentically as well. No complaints on the bartender. Food was 3 Bao Buns and a Chow Mein entree with grilled chicken added on top. This was the perfect amount of food for 2 people. The Bao Buns were extremely soft and light on the breading. If you get them from Din Tai Fung they tend to be dough heavy. These were NOT like that. Chicken and Eggplant buns were tasty and had a light kick to them. Noodles were probably the weakest items, I prefer the rice/flat noodles, but these were normal chow mein noodles. But I had to split the dish with my dining companion who enjoyed the noodles quite a bit. I'd go with Udon or Flat Noodles next time and ask them to add chili flakes.

We started with cold sake and a couple of cocktails. Super cute and yummy drinks, creative and complimented the overall theme. The Asahi beer was huge and came with an ice cold glass, perfect! We got the orange chicken and drunken noodles with added chicken breast. The food was fresh and tasty. I liked that the orange chicken came with rice, and was not overly breaded. The drunken noodles were pretty salty but overall good. These two entrees were enough for two people to take a little bit of leftovers home. Recommend for a nice date night or if looking for some Asian fusion. We'll be back!

    An update from 7 months ago--…read more I've been to this Mensho location a few times now, it's actually very close to my house, I could walk there. Maybe when it's not summer I will :) I had previously mentioned I've been to Mensho Ramen in Japan twice and this location seems to be very close to quality and flavors. I've tried different appetizers on each visit here and I always get the Garlic Knock Out ramen bowl because I love garlic, but next time I need to branch out and try the duck matcha bowl, a friend of mine swears by it. It sounds like an odd flavor combo, but I hear it just works. Coming here is pricey, so this isn't my everyday ramen shop, but once in a while I enjoy it. Other reviewers mention not liking the noodle texture, the soup broth thickness, or overall flavors. Some have even questioned its Japanese authenticity. That's most funny to me, given it's very close to the ramen I had at Mensho in actual Japan. So I don't think it's Mensho who is unfamiliar with Japanese cuisine... I don't love all the apps I've had, for instance I would skip the Takoyaki or corn ribs, or $8 edamame. Next time I'd like to try the Aji fry, many people have said that's good. So, it's likely coming down to personal preference. Service has been solid so far. Servers are friendly and food comes out fairly quickly. Anyhoo, I'd still recommend this spot, and bring friends or family. We recently brought a friend who is vegan and she was happy to see vegan based broths and items on the menu. I think the price point makes it hard for some people to enjoy this place, as it costs about double compared to other bowls of ramen in the valley. But I appreciate that they make their noodles in house and the dining space is very authentic to a ramen shop in Japan (small and nice wood decor). It does remind me of being in Tokyo, which I miss dearly. Mensho here is more expensive than Tokyo. Food in the US costs way more in general. I think most folks would be surprised to learn that. But it's true, Japan has the most amazing food scene and they execute everything perfectly yet it's cheaper in many instances. I was blown away by how affordable food was in Japan. IMO that says more about the state of affairs in the US, and less about this specific restaurant. Some reviews have noted poor quality and management, I haven't noticed that yet, and I hope it doesn't happen. So far, I've liked it enough to keep going back every now and again :)

Stand out items to order: the corn appetizer, the yellowtail carpaccio, or the salmon carpaccio, and sashimi on the menu. We have tried almost every appetizer and all of them are good. This place is truly not known well enough for the quality of the food. Finally, the servers are amazing, and there is plenty of parking. For some reason, this place is not often busy, so you don't have to wait forever to eat.

    Awesome late night spot, for decent quality Japanese eats, and in the Tempe-Scottsdale area.

We were nearby for a show, and decided to stop in on a Wednesday evening for a late dinner with some friends. They have a good happy hour menu, and my friends ordered off there, but I was craving sushi so I got the nigiri omakase. It came with miso soup, which I enjoyed, definitely hard to go wrong there. The sushi itself was decent, nothing crazy, but definitely better than grocery store quality. The tuna and salmon pieces were a little fishy, maybe not the freshest, but it was also quite late (~10pm) so I wasn't expecting too much. Beautifully presented, and the cuts were quite large which was nice! The food came out pretty fast, and the service was pleasant. The restaurant vibes are pretty dark, and moody. The bathroom was kind of scary personally, super dark and a little messy, so I decided to wait till I got home. Overall, a solid experience, and definitely a good choice if I am in the area.

    We were going downtown for a concert, craving some sushi and found this place on Yelp. No…read morereservations available, I did check their website where you can be adding to a waitlist, but it stated currently no waitlist and invited us to just arrive at restaurant. We arrived a little after 5pm and the restaurant was mostly empty. But in the next 20 minutes it filled up and there was open sitting at the bar only. The mood was initially quiet but quickly turned more up beat as the restaurant filled and pop rock music was playing. We asked our waiter a few questions about a few of their rolls and he was very helpful with guidance and recommendations. We ordered Salmon Lemon, Spicy Tuna, Salmon Avocado Maki and California rolls to share for two. This restaurant uses purple rice rather than traditional white rice. This was the first time we have tried a sushi roll made with purple rice and we both loved it. It added a nutty flavor and hearty texture. Purple rice is similar to wild rice and far nutritionally superior to white rice with more antioxidant and fiber. Shortly after we ordered we were served a potsticker dish. I mentioned that we did not order the item and were informed the appetizer was complementary. We thanked the server and tasted the dish. The potstickers were nicely pan fried and had a great crust and flavorful chicken filling. Delicious! About five minutes later our rolls were delivered. All were fresh tasting and delicious. Our favorite was the Salmon Lemon roll. We loved the pop the lemon added. Honorable mentions to the Spicy Tuna roll, very well done, excellent balance of heat and flavors. We truly enjoyed our dining experience and look forward to returning. Highly recommended for a quality sushi experience!
