    My family and I we're sitting trying to enjoy dinner, then realize that there was roaches crawling around on the wall next to us as well as the floor. Guys be aware! HIBACHI CITY BUFFET 35th ave and Southern. Very poor customer service we asked for a refund after seeing the roaches crawling. They refused to give us a refund.

    Same nostalgia as always! I used to come here when I was younger and the food was always a comfortable yummy memory to keep. I've gone two times in the last two or three months and they are always cleaning! They are always wiping down the buffet counters and cleaning tables with plates and cups. The food is always hot and warm when I go, they are always quick to replace the food and have someone come our frequently to see what is almost done and ready to refill. The noodles are such a delicious spicy but sweet and savory. I love the chicken sticks and free ice cream cups and soft drinks. I only ever come to this buffet and not Lin's because I had a bad experience with their cleanliness, but I can see the cleaning in front of my eyes. The staff are always great at their job and quick too. Five stars, love this place and will probably come back soon!

    I have seen the negative reviews and decided to pipe in. Everyone who has reviewed this buffet has slammed it for taste and selection. What they are failing to share is that their dinner plate was only $11.00. My GF and I went to this place due to seeing it as I finished up Golf at Aguila. We were seated immediately and offered drinks at our table. The Buffet was fresh and and every dish seemed to be restocked well. The Crawdads I had were good and not the least bit soggy; hard to find at buffets. The attendants were quick to scoop empty plates and filled our pop when we were low. I eat a lot of weird dishes and I realized that on my way back to the table with plate of Crawdads and another plate of Soft-shell crab, that I was that TOKEN asian who eats weird stuff!!! Feels good being able to find a place that I can get this kind of food for reasonable prices. With drinks, the bills came out to $27 which is reasonable for two people at dinner. Would give it 5 Stars if they had more of a variety of dishes. that said, no regrets at all!

    This was my first time at this place. First I would like to say they have an A grading at the door. Okay...the food is not what I expected what so ever. Friday evening around 6pm. 3 adults total price of $47.21. The price was not too bad, I noticed they charge a little more on Friday's due to them having "crab legs". As you will be able to see from the pictures below, the crab legs are extremely small, the shell is super soft and the meat tastes and feels like it was boiled too long. The fried shrimp with the head on was tasty. The oysters were terrible and almost had a chemical taste.

    We found a MAGGOT in the brocolli and when we spoke to the owner he didn't want to give us a whole refund, he only wanted to refund me and not my husband because his didn't have a maggot even though it came from the same tray!! Then he tried saying that we had been there for 45 min eating all the other food (not true!) And that he recognized us because we had complained before!! ALSO NOT TRUE!!! The audacity this man had to pretend the rest of the food was okay and make these accusations! I WILL be calling AZ Health Department & Maricopa County Department to file a complaint! I attached a picture of the maggot and another complaint someone made just a few months ago! The new management here does not care to serve spoiled food!

    This review is strictly for the food as I ordered through Uber Eats. I didn't step food into the…read moreresturant or have interaction with the employees. I like that they use purple rice for all the sushi here, it's healthy and also adds a bit to the flavor. Fish is fresh and portion sizes are generous - I mean that in a way that the rolls and sushi fill you up quite quickly without the rolls being too large in size. The balance between fish and rice is a solid ratio, although I'll say that everything started to taste quiet similar after a while and I couldn't really differentiate between the different rolls. Anyways, overall a solid sushi spot in Scottsdale, AZ. Mt Fuji Roll- Love that they top with raw scallop! Yellowtail Carpaccio - Fresh and vibrant, jalapeno adds a nice kick Havana Roll - The mango brings brightness to the roll 5 Nigiri & Crazy Roll - Value combo, the bluefin tuna quality is good

    My husband surprised me with a date night at Kodo Sushi. It was my first time eating here, but had…read moreheard him talking about it many times in the past. Upon arrival, the place doesn't look like anything special. It's inside a strip mall, and looks mediocre. However, do not judge too soon. Once you get inside, everything is well laid out & it's very nice. It was busy when we went in on a Friday night, BUT we got seated quicker than estimated- which is always a win! I was not happy with where we were seated, as it was facing the wall in the small bar area. We are people watchers by nature, so it's always fun to be in a spot where we can look around the room effortlessly. However, it wasn't the end of the world and I certainly didn't want to wait any longer, the food looked wonderful & I was starving! I do not remember exactly which rolls we got, but... all of them were EXCELLENT!! Everything was undoubtedly fresh, and made with quality ingredients. I thought the black rice was really neat! I've never seen that before. The waitstaff were very friendly and accommodating. It took no time at all to get our orders out, which was impressive considering that the place was packed near capacity! As we left, all of the sushi pros behind the glass thanked us for coming in and wished us a great rest of our evening. I thought that was very kind. It's not very often that you find a whole line of people stopping what they are doing to wish you well on your way out of their establishment. All in all, 10/10 experience! I would recommend this place to anyone who loves Sushi!

We were a party of 12 visiting on vacation, and none of us are from the area. We ordered spam musubi and a chicken skewer as appetizers. Both appetizers arrived well after our entrees had already been served and we had essentially finished eating. Each time we asked about them, we were repeatedly told, "They're coming." Mind you, these are simple appetizers that should not take anywhere near that long to prepare. When we asked for the third time, we finally asked that the appetizers be cancelled since we had already finished our meal. At that point, the gentleman working the front area , tall, with red hair, loudly yelled from across the restaurant, in an extremely rude and confrontational tone, "It's already on the grill!" There was absolutely no reason to speak to paying customers that way. His response was unprofessional, unnecessary, and honestly created a very hostile and uncomfortable feeling during what should have been an enjoyable dinner, especially while our group was on vacation and simply trying to enjoy a meal together. When the appetizers eventually came out, we left them sitting there because we were already done eating and ended up taking them to go. He eventually told us they would be removed from the bill, which we appreciated, but that did not excuse the way the situation was handled. Again, the food was good, but good food does not make up for poor service and especially not for an employee speaking to customers in an aggressive and disrespectful manner. Management should seriously address how customers are treated, because the interaction with this particular employee overshadowed what could have otherwise been a good dining experience for our party of 12.

We shifted gears and went next door to Sake Haus, and I'm so glad we did! Everything was spectacular! First of all--BEST edamame I've ever had! That tallow really adds a richness! And the gyoza had just the right amount of kick to them. We had both the hamachi crudo and the halibut crudo. They were both delicious, but the hamachi was the standout. Hamachi is usually a little too fishy for me, but this just melted in my mouth and left me wanting more. We also had one of the specials, the 808 roll. It was topped with poke, and we would not let them take the plate until we'd scooped up every little morsel! Cocktails and service were excellent as well. We definitely ended up with a pricier meal than what we'd planned next door, but it was totally worth it! I wish I'd taken pics of the beautifully plated dishes, but I was too just eating!

    I was dying for sushi and this place looked promising. A few things to preface this review: 1) I…read morelove sushi and I typically steer clear of sushi in the desert for obvious reasons. 2) I lean towards sashimi and high quality fish. The service- pretty poor. I was sat in the bar at the back but I basically sat there for a good 5 minutes and nothing. I went back up front and asked to sit at the bar and it was still pretty inattentive, especially considering no one else was even seated in the front room at the time. Never got my water refilled, had to flag them down to put in more food, that sorta thing. The vibes- thought the bar was pretty lit and is prob pretty fun during HH. The food- overpriced for what you get and portion size while the fish and flavors being a smidge above average. I left still hungry after getting the gold omakase, bad and buri roll, and hamachi crudo. The hamachi was the best part of the meal but I'd still expect at least 5 pieces for the price. Anyways, this spot will hit the spot if you have a sushi craving. I can't vouch for the drinks but I assume it more than checks the box in that regard judging by the menu, selection, and vibe. But know that you're in for some trade offs imo.

When we arrived, I felt a little scolded for making our reservation through OpenTable, even though that's the platform Arizona Restaurant Week directed us to when we clicked the reservation link. That left me a little confused as to why OpenTable is listed as an option in the first place. We were also seated right next to the only other two guests in the restaurant, despite there being plenty of empty tables. I understand the seating choice a little more once the restaurant started filling up, but at the time, it made us feel a bit awkward and crowded. Thankfully, the **food was the highlight of the experience--and it was delicious!** I wasn't a huge fan of the crispy rice, but the cucumber salad was SO good. I also ordered the Dragon Roll, which was delicious. We ordered from the Arizona Restaurant Week menu, and choosing the steak made it an especially great value. The menu included an appetizer and dessert as well, so there was a lot of food for the price. Angela took great care of us throughout the meal. I do wish she had been a little more accommodating when our sushi roll presentation accidentally fell, but overall, she was attentive and friendly. There was also a little mix-up with the salmon belly nigiri. We thought it was included in happy hour, but it turns out regular salmon is on the happy hour menu while the salmon belly is not. Honestly, after trying it, I don't think the belly was really worth ordering anyway! There were definitely a few things about the experience that put me off, but now that I know what to expect, I'd approach things differently next time to hopefully have a better experience. **At the end of the day, the food won me over.** I'll definitely be back for happy hour because it looks like they have a really good one!
