The edamame is superior! The spicy miso butter was EVERYTHING. I may need to call them for the recipe. It was so good I asked for an extra side of it for my steak skewers (fantastic). New menu hack! The yakisoba noodles had great flavor as well! If you have room for dessert, the mango tres leches was phenomenal. Light, soft, but with tons of flavor. Another fantastic meal here and already looking forward to going back!

Managed to snag a reservation on a busy Friday night around 7:30. Pulled into the lot and they…read morehave valet which is nice but was able to find an empty spot right in front so didn't need it. The place was buzzing with loud electronic music and tons of people dining -- I think because the ceiling is so high the noise is amplified. Because it was so busy it took a while for the server to come over but he did with waters which was nice but then the menus are all on QR codes -- which is annoying because it is hard to look at everything and because the menu is very confusing it would have been nice to see everything on paper. The menu is confusing because the selections are very odd -- I thought it was a mexican-asian/sushi fusion restaurant -- which I guess it is but it was still really hard to create the best food experience when I couldn't see everything available. My friend was hungry so she immediately put in an order for calamari and I was being called to order the blood orange margarita slushie. When the margarita came it was like nothing I have ever seen before. It looked more like a milkshake or like a creamsicle. I dove in thinking it would be too sweet but it was actually quite delicious and I sucked it back in a second! Also I put in an order for the edamame which sounded really good in the description -- "woodfired" and spicy miso butter -- but when they came they were really spicy and the woodfired element was making me cough, strangely enough -- I couldn't finish them! Finally after waiting forever we got the drinks and apps. It then took another 15 minutes to order our food. Again it was busy and my friend and I were catching up so it wasn't a big deal. We wanted a fairly light dinner so we just ordered one roll -- the Fuego, which had yellowtail and a whitefish, chili, cilantro and cucumber plus a pico de gallo on top -- it was very flavorful -- although a bit spicy for those who are spice wimps like me. Overall, thought it was a good meal but wasn't blown away.

This comes with a lot of food, but everything is plated beautifully and is very flavorful. I was especially blown away by the service. It was extremely professional, and reminded me of dining at a Michelin starred restaurant. Ambiance - we sat on a couch behind the bar area which was very comfortable.

First, let me start by saying there was no Valet service on the Friday night we came to dine. It…read morewas raining, and apparently they close down this service if it rains. Never heard of this before. Anyways, the start of the meal was good. While waiting for our group of our 2 other couples to arrive, I ordered a Lychee martini for me and my hubs. Both came out decently fast, and were delicious. But after everyone arrived, and ordered our second round, well let's just say they must of forgotten about us. I must of waited over 20 mins for my second cocktail. Unacceptable. Anyways, the food was delicious, but don't understand why they charge $4 for the smallest side of ginger chili sauce, when the steaks are already $60 plus? Like why nickel and dime your customers to death?? By the end of the meal, our server Andrew had completely disappeared. The waiting for another cocktail was outrageous. I hate going to a place, that wasn't even full, to constantly be waiting for our server. And one other important thing, the prices of the cocktails on yelp, (previously posted by an elite helper) only a week ago, were not the price we were charged. We paid $24 for Espresso Martini, when I thought it was only $20. Crazy. But trust me, these little over charges do add up. All in all, the food was prepared well, drinks tasted good, but service and price point is lacking.

But there was no one there so I'm not sure what she was so busy doing. The decor is cool. They have a bunch of beautiful Thai headpieces all around. Our meal was 2 happy hours apps - and one noodle dish = $45!

Our group of five visited Soi 4 to try the new duck menu from chef Bob Vongsanikul. After a lovely…read morefamily-style meal, we were super happy with every dish! My top favorites were definitely the Quartered Roast Duck (Pik-Khing) and Roast Duck Noodle (Pad Kee Mao). The pik-khing had a bolder ginger-curry sauce that was SO good on rice, along with perfectly cooked green beans on the side. The pad kee mao really let the duck shine on its own, with the smoky flavor infused in the noodles from the wok. The duck was cooked well in every dish. We also enjoyed the Stir-Fry Roast Duck (Ga Pao) and the more refreshing Fresh Roast Duck Spring Rolls and Isaan Style Duck Larb to balance it out. Some dishes were a bit more on the salty side, so def order rice, but portions were perfect for 1 dish/person! Service was super friendly. They brought out larger dishes without us asking when we mentioned we were all going to share. And they even offered to take a group picture for us in the beautiful space. Great ambiance on both floors and no trouble finding parking outside :)

Upon entering we were greeted and immediately seated near the bar…read more What surprised us in the menu was Roast Duck. We've never seen that at other Thai restaurants. We love duck and decided to give it a try. The duck was tasty but not hot and even the noodles were like warm. After we finished our meal, we asked about the temperature of the food and they said it is served at room temperature. We tried to order the sticky rice with mango and was told that the mangoes had gone bad. So no dessert for us. Don't know if we'll be back.

The service is very attentive and kind and FAST! The food (we had edemame, potstickers, corn, Asian salad with shrimp ) honestly it was all good. We even got welcome popcorn as it was my first time- I will say they like things spicy lol! The salad was refreshing and delicious and I appreciate a healthier option at an Asian spot (it's usually always meat teriyaki's and noodles etc). We ended with the key lime pie which was as you would expect! It's a super casual fun spot with quick food and great service- also quite a variety of options on the menu (they even have fries)! Would definitely go again!

Very Disappointing First Experience…read more This was my first time dining at this restaurant, and unfortunately, it will likely be my last. I ordered two Firecracker Chicken meals at $20.50 each, and both were extremely disappointing. The chicken was dry, there was no sauce, and the meal was basically just dry chicken and rice. For $20.50 per meal, I expected much better quality, flavor, and preparation. Honestly, the food was disgusting, and I would not spend another $20 on this meal. I was so unhappy with my experience that if I could leave zero stars, I absolutely would have. The only positive thing I can say is that the restaurant itself has a nice interior. Unfortunately, a nice atmosphere does not make up for disappointing food. My recommendation: Save your money and skip the Firecracker Chicken. Based on my experience, this meal was absolutely not worth the price.

Starting with the additional parking on the side next to the hotel... it's not clean, rough pavement and it doesn't give a good first impression. To our surprise, when we entered, it wasn't crowded at all & there was plenty of seating everywhere. Our host was not very welcoming and chose to sit us literally right next to another couple, even with so many open tables. Then we were shocked and disgusted to see a dead bug on our table (roach-like)... everyone was horrified, and that was the deal breaker. When they tried to move us to another table, I knew right then and there that the experience was already done for us. There was no way to get that visual out of our heads and try to eat any food. Just a really bad experience and definitely concerning when it comes to the cleanliness of the tables. It also made us question the overall cleanliness of the restaurant. That was just too obvious to miss or ignore.

This McCormick Ranch location is so much more inviting, from the setup and ambiance to the staff. We came on a date night with our youngest son, who loves sushi just as much as we do, and we ended up trying at least 10 different dishes. Everything was fresh, tasty, and really well done. The quality definitely stood out. The service was excellent, attentive, kind, and on top of it without feeling rushed. It made the whole experience even better. If you're looking for good sushi in the McCormick Ranch area, this is a great spot. Pro tip: hit it during happy hour, especially if you're feeding sushi to a growing kid the happy hour sushi options are clutch. We'll definitely be back.

I was coming south on North Scottsdale road and turned in to a driveway right before the "Bei" sign on the building and ended up in an awkward narrow back alley behind the restaurant. The restaurant is in a strip mall with several other businesses and there is a common parking lot for all of them. I came here with my 5 year old son. He saw the pictures of the restaurant on reviews before we went and asked about the robot. We inquired when we were there and the robot can bring you your food upon request. I liked that they have lunch specials. The food was all very good. I ordered a matcha drink as well, which had a really good cold foam on top. The service was great. The servers were very nice and helpful. Ambiance - meh. It looks like a fast casual restaurant that has been around for a while.
