I haven't had sushi in a while, so I suggested this spot to meet up with my boba sistah. We got…read morethere a few minutes after they opened at 11am and had the place to ourselves. They have a table or two outside but they're not setup for outdoor seating, fyi. The restaurant is nicely decorated and dark, which took some getting used to. We were greeted warmly and chose a booth towards the right. I had noticed their lunch specials offered M-F 11-2pm so we both ordered from that menu. I got the L/Cali+Shrimp Tempura Combo: California Roll (Half Size), Shrimp Tempura Roll (Half Size), Gyoga(3PCS), Miso Soup. My companion got the L/Rainbow+Dynamite Combo: Rainbow Roll (Half Size), Dynamite Roll (Half Size), 2PCS Nigiri (Chef Choice), Miso Soup. Our soups were brought out pretty quickly and our food not long after. For the price point ($12) and quantity, my lunch special was definitely worth it. It came with 10 California rolls, 5 shrimp tempura rolls, and 3 gyozas. I was pleased to see their gyozas have chicken in them, usually they have pork so I can't eat them. I love their purple rice - so unique. I don't think I'd tried it before and it was good. All of the items I tried were fresh and flavorful. Service was great and I was surprised it wasn't busier during their lunch hour. Maybe later on or dinner gets more of a crowd. I'm glad we tried out this spot and I'd love to come back!

Mediocre but I'd be willing to try it again now that I know what I'm getting into…read more The salmon sashimi I ordered was spot on, and really good. 8 slices for $15 is also the best pricing I have found in all of Scottsdale. I also ordered salmon skin and here is where the star deduction came into play. The salmon skin was served to me the way I asked - no rice, no sauce, no vegetables - BUT, it was burnt. So if I do go back, I would probably request them NOT to cook it so long. I ordered my husband a spicy tuna roll and a spicy salmon roll to go. He said the spicy tuna was good but the spicy salmon wasn't - it was as if the salmon quality that was used was poor.

Wow!! What an incredible experience we had at Kasai Scottsdale…read more This place has a very luxurious feel and the service is top notch. We came in for a birthday party & got one of the Teppanyaki tables. Our waiter was awesome & the Chef for the table was well suited for the job! He was so fun and cracked a lot of jokes that everyone enjoyed. He kept everyone engaged throughout the entire experience. He made everyone at the table catch rice in their mouths- even if it took 5-6 tries per person The food was delicious - the portions were on point. The prices were fair. It's on expensive side, but part of the cost is definitely for the experience, which is well worth it. All in all, everyone had an amazing time. This is the perfect place to come with a group to share some laughs and create a memory that nobody will forget. It is so fun to see your meal cooked right before your eyes & interact with the chef throughout. I've been to similar places in the past & none of them compare to Kasai! We will definitely be back!

Food was fantastic. The passion fruit martini was 10/10, perfect amount of sweet and tart. Our chef…read morewas so fun and kind and the steak was super yummy. The price was confusing. $30 service charge?? And that's not inclusive of tip? Our total bill was $178 so that would be a 16% service charge which is insane. Usually service charges are a few percent to help cover small costs like cc processing, to-go packaging, things like that. So then on top of that I had to tip of course as I don't want to not give the chef nothing. Just seems a bit extreme. Everything is already on the expensive side which is fine as it's a nice restaurant but the additional service charge was too much. Also the percentage options were incorrect. The amount it told me to tip to make it 18% was actually 26%. Probably an issue with their POS and not them but seems like a money grab and something they should prioritize fixing.

(refer to photos below) my lady chose the Sex and the City roll, and i can tell you now the crunch along with the Eel sauce was delicious! i can tell you most about the few appetizers and the H3 roll, i've never had sushi like this before the H3 came with some fish eggs on top and it was really pleasing to the eye. it looked new, foreign and exotic the way everything popped (literally) we ordered: apps- Stuffed Jalepeno, Spring Rolls entree- H3 Roll, Sex and the City Roll she mentions it every other day and i think that's because we shared a nice time and a memory together shout out to the establishment, keep up the team work! -can't wait to come back

Interior is very nice inside, with plenty of tables with a a little dim lighting, which we loved. Ordered our drinks, 'sake colada' was sweet while the 'matcha mojito' was refreshing! Our server was very friendly and attentive throughout the whole experience. As well as the rest of the staff who helped deliver our food & give us our togo boxes. Once we ordered, our food came out very quickly. The tempura was crispy, the gyoza were filled with delicious flavors, and the sushi was fresh! We especially loved the 'Phoenix roll,' it was packed with flavor! You can never go wrong with nigiri and they did not disappoint.

Pure Sushi has solid and varied options for sushi, which is nice and dare I say uncommon in this area. The sushi is a solid 3.5 to 4. Not the best I ever had but not terrible. I always think we are going to grab cocktails while we are there but the cocktails are inconsistent and not the greatest. Somewhat disappointing and never good enough to order a second. Most notable on our last visit and something that needs to be addressed was zillions of fruit flies throughout the place. We were seated in the back by the bar. My son noticed something strange on the wall. I turned around and almost gagged because there were literally hundreds of fruit flies on the wall. It was disgusting and I can't believe they sat us there. We initially moved to another nearby table by the Bar but it was also fruit fly central. The waitress then moved us to the main dining room (it was obvious they knew it was an issue and she was embarrassed) but by that point I could not get over it and all I could think of was extreme concern for what was in the drinks at the bar. We finished our dinner and left quickly after that. Nothing was offered to us for the experience (and we are not the type of people to demand or ask). To be honest I cannot go back after this incident. Especially since they don't participate in posting their health violation scores on yelp (I just noticed this). How they can let customers sit by a horde of flies and not wipe down the walls or fix this is beyond me. Forcing the staff to deal with customers in this situation is also horrifying.
