    Ribeye, sautéed mushrooms and waygu fried rice
    Joy W.

    It was our first time at Kauboi and it will definitely not be our last. What a great addition to Old Town Scottsdale. Taylor our waitress was fantastic. I have to be gluten free so she walked me through the menu on what we could order and she also confirmed with the chef to ensure I had a wonderful dinner. We chose the chicken thigh and scallops yakitori which was delicious and perfect to split for the 2 of us. For dinner we shared the ribeye, wagyu fried rice and the mushrooms. It was so delicious and the presentation was amazing. The waygu came out sizzling and was placed on the rice at our table. Our table was outside on the patio which was so beautiful. It started to rain after our food was served so everyone was rushed inside. So our second table was in the indoor lounge which was equally beautiful. We feel like we had 2 unique meals in the same evening.

    Came here for my birthday dinner and was blown away. We tried items off the small plate menu and enjoyed everything. I also had a mocktail that was absolutely perfect. I loved the decor and got the chance to walk around the oudooor area which was lovely. Definitely the perfect place to celebrate any special occasion. Service was slow to start but seemed to be okay afterwards.

    Bone in Ribeye

    I'm way overdue for writing a review for one of my absolute favorite spots in Scottsdale. Kauboi, located inside the Remi Hotel, is more than just a restaurant--it's an experience. From the stunning city views to the beautiful landscaping and vibrant atmosphere, every visit feels elevated. The sushi and drink menu is extensive, with both cocktails and mocktails that are as visually impressive as they are delicious. It's the kind of place where you can sip something fancy and actually enjoy every drop. Dinner has always been amazing. I've been there 11 times and have yet to be disappointed. I usually sit outside, either at a table or in the lounge areas, which really adds to the overall vibe. Some of my personal favorites: the bone-in ribeye, garlic soy edamame, togarashi-dusted fries, smoked sweet potatoes, and BBQ carrots--each dish consistently hits. My friends swear by the wagyu fried rice served in a clay pot and the whole fried snapper. The only miss for me was the chocolate chip cookies dessert--but honestly, it may have just been an off day because everything else has been flawless. Service is also worth highlighting. Lisa and Teron ("T") have both taken great care of us--attentive, knowledgeable, and always on point with recommendations. Kauboi continues to deliver every single time. If you're looking for a place that combines great food, atmosphere, and service, this is it.

    Bluefin tuna crispy rice

    I'm gonna be honest kauboi blew me away!!! I loved how thoughtfully designed the space was. I highly recommend grabbing a table outside it's gorgeous. We decided to do seafood only which was the best decision ever! The grilled prawns with that spicy chili sauce was really fresh and juicy with every bite. I loved it. The tuna rice was delicious that had a little spicy sauce on the bottom. I really enjoyed it. The sashimi was seriously some of the best I've ever had. The Ponzu sauce at the bottom only brought out the flavors of the fish more. It was so good!! they had the deck open, so even though I was sitting outside and was able to enjoy the outside atmosphere which I really appreciated. I will be back.

    This place was amazing. The service, vibes, music were great! Clay pot (5/5) Wings(4.5/5) Steak(4/5) Cocktails were creative and delicious too!

    Kauboi Scottsdale is our new favorite rooftop restaurant in Old Town Scottsdale! The rooftop views are stunning and create the perfect upscale yet relaxed vibe once the sun goes down. The sushi here is awesome and paired with their craft cocktails, and you've got a winning combo. Great ambiance, great food, and an overall elevated experience. Highly recommend for a date night or special occasion!

    My first time coming here for dinner with a few friends. We made dinner reservations for 830pm but we didn't get sat till around 9pm. It didn't seemed too busy in there on a Saturday night. The ambience and decor was very nice. It was really dark inside. Had a little hard time reading the menu. We each had a few cocktails and a few appetizers for the table. Spicy Cucumber salad - I thought it was a little salty Bluefin Tuna crispy rice - this was very good Hamachi sashimi- I enjoyed this as well Spicy tempura shrimp - was pretty good as well Overall was a good experience I would come again and try other items on the menu.

    Kauboi has become one of our favorite spots, we've been back many times, and it's consistently excellent. Location is in the heart of downtown @ the Remy hotel. The food is always outstanding, the service is warm and attentive, and the ambiance is fun and lively! Our go to place for entertaining and bringing visitors.

    Sashimi and Yakitori menu
    Rebekah D.

    We had a lovely time here. It's a nice vibe, upbeat but low lights, nice presentation. Service was excellent. The guy was very nice, seemed very nervous the whole time, but I'm not sure why, we didn't have any issues. We ordered lots of different things because everything sounded so good. Japanese milk toast with miso and honey butter. OMG. It was the fluffiest, dreamiest toast. You get 3 thicc slices with an ample amount of honey butter. The balance of flavors was excellent. You get depth and umami the miso, sweetness from the honey. I could have eaten a whole additional order. It's a bread lover's dream. For the small plates: We tried the shishito peppers, and crispy pork belly. Do not skip the crispy pork belly. If you like getting crispy pork belly at dim sum, it's better here. It was tender, flavorful and had the perfect crisp to it. I wish I got more than one plate of it. Like, if you go with friends, everyone should get their own. They served it with chili XO sauce, togarashi salt and honey mustard. I tried it with all 3 together and it was like fireworks. Chef's kiss definitely. Cooked perfectly, not overly salty. Yasssss. Shishito peppers were served with the perfect amount of sauce, and they had the stems cut off, which I like them prepped that way. So good. Anytime I get sushi, I get shishito peppers if they're available. Super tasty. The sauce wasn't too overbearing so you still tasted the flavor of the peppers. 7/10 Yakitori: it's a hard choice, there's so many options. I chose the Hokkaido scallop only because we were trying so many different things. 2 pieces come on the skewer and they bring a whole binchotan grill to the table to serve it. It tasted fresh and the flavors were simple, served with the XO sauce. Definitely would eat that again. I wish I got a pork belly skewer too. 9/10 Sushi: Yuzu Verde roll Tempura fried lobster, with cucumber, avocado, yuzu and green salsa. The lobster was cooked perfectly. It was a very nice combination, bright and fresh tasting. The green salsa was unexpected with tempura fried lobster but very good. We didn't even need soy sauce and wasabi. 8/10 Wagyu fried rice in a clay pot- Presentation was lovely. They brought a hot stone with the Wagyu short rib slices and finished the cooking at the table. It was good, but...not $48 good. I like my fried rice a little drier, this was more "wet" bc it was saucier. While it wasn't gross, it was seasoned decently but it was mid. 6/10 We got dessert to go, the kauboi chocolate chip cookies. They were good and chocolatey and came with a "Mexican hot chocolate" which was like a chocolate dipping sauce with cinnamon. You get 2 big cookies approximately 6" in diameter. They were pretty standard tasting for chocolate chip cookies. They were $20, which I don't think they were worth that price, $16 would be a better price point for what you get imo. 7/10 All in all, I'll definitely be back. The standouts: Crispy pork belly, 10/10; Japanese milk toast 9.5/10,

    This is a newer restaurant in Old Town at the Remi Hotel. I went on a Friday night and it was quite busy which to make me think it was a really good restaurant! I arrived and we had to put a credit card in to reserve a table (not my favorite thing) and we had to wait about 10 mins or so until our table was ready. The service was 7/10 as the waiter might have had some bias towards us since we were a younger group of girls who were ordering a ton of food. The wagyu top cut was the best thing we ordered- it was $95 and definitely worth the price. We ordered a few drinks and one of them came with quite an experience in which we weren't expecting! The drink came out on a plate with dry ice! Worth a try if you are in old town, it's a good upper class Asian fusion restaurant!

    Hubby surprised me and took me here for our wedding anniversary dinner. Super romantic setting inside with dim lighting and the views of the sunset from the outside bar/terrace were incredible! We were sat in a cozy corner booth before being greeted by Tiarnan -- whom was absolutely spectacular right from the gate! He explained the menu to us, reviewed drinks and the most popular cocktails, as well as what my fave spirits were to tailor preferences to those. He also asked if we had any allergies to avoid, which is always a kind touch in my book! We started with the Japanese milk toast which was phenomenal and for mains, I had the Tombstone roll with wagyu, caviar and gold flakes while my hubby got the 8oz wagyu top cap with a side of fries. Our food was so amazing, and I NEVERRRR eat leftovers -- esp not sushi however I ate that roll UP!!! literally so good and one of the best rolls I've ever had. We will definitely be back for another date night and another big thank you to Tiarnan for the outstanding and phenomenal service and for making our second year wedding anniversary so special!

    Hip and lively dive bar in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale! As I visited Scottsdale and on a…read moreleisure walk checking out the scene, came across this packed dive bar that seemed to be the spot to be that evening! Small dive bar with limited seating and a small bar so good luck trying to grab a drink. However, once it's your turn, the bartenders are quick and efficient. Love the live music band covers they have that gets the crowd dancing and having an enjoyable night. The band takes song requests does a wonderful job! Mix crowd of young and old patrons. If you love live music, this is your spot!

However, the walls have a counter with the stools, so you can order food and eat there! It's super crowded all the time (this was our third attempt getting my inside across 2 days), but so worth it! Our drinks were made quickly, but ordering them was a little trickier. They didn't have many people working (2? 3?) so it was easier to order at the bar then flag down a server. With it being a small space, it was would've been nice to order from a server. We had the prickly pear margaritas and the house margarita. While they tasted good, I'm not sure how authentic they were. But they were served icy cold, so can't complain too much! They were also a decent price. We also had their red pork and green pork tamales. The red was my favorite, with a hint of spice and flavorful pork. The green one was good too. We also had their nachos, which were pretty classic and appreciated by the group! Food came out in about 20-30 minutes. Prices were reasonable too. The best was the live music-- It's free! Lots of country classics. I would arriving around 1/1:15 pm, finding a seat, getting a drink and ordering food, and listening to the well-played tunes. It only has 1 small TV, so I'd go somewhere else if you're looking for a bar/pub to watch sports. Make sure to check out popular, well-known Rusty Spur Saloon for cold margaritas, delicious Mexican food, and dance worthy live music!

    Sat at outside even thought the weather has warmed up. They have fans and mister and a nice breeze…read more (Didn't need the misters tonight. ) Noah was our server. Such a nice guy. Very on top of it with timing, service, knowledge of food, etc. I wanted to try the chopped salad everyone raved about. Was offered different choices of protein but we had it the way it was meant to be. Very good! Lots of different textures and flavors. Then we shared their filet with mashed potatoes and charred broccoli. . Hubby and I both said "yummmmy" Finished with the dessert of the night. A Bread pudding with oranges and cherries and something else with vanilla whipped cream and chocolate drizzled. Excellent. Definitely worth the praise on social media.

I mean really, did the chef put any salt and pepper on the flesh side of the salmon or did he/she only season the skin side? For the love of God...put some salt on both sides and please only cook it to medium! Just my two cents! I hope management reads this because I'll be returning to The Gladly with a large group of friends in February and we've selected salmon as one of the choices for our group meal. I hope and pray the fish will be cooked properly with seasoning please! Okay, I'm done talking about the salmon! The Chopped Salad was good and the spinach dip was very good! My spicy margarita was also top notch! However, the salmon left a bad taste in my mouth!
