I'm reluctantly giving this place 5 stars but it's definitely 4.5. I literally just went here BEFORE reading any of these reviews. I had known this spot was supposed to be pretty good but I never found myself planning to come here. Which is good because after reading some of these reviews I might have been deterred to come and wait in line for service. The place is really pretty small as well.But there literally was NOBODY and the entire sushi bar was open. So don't believe everything you read, there are two sides of the coin. I did NOT find that this was super affordable, so not sure what the other reviewers stating that were basing their remarks on. But, it is very good and the service was really great.I had a lunch bento box, they have a crazy amount of choices. I also realize they are really Japanese people which is always a nice touch in a sushi restaurant. They have quite a few rolls to choose from, a very Americanized way since rolls dont' exist in Japan. But I opted for the yellowtail sashimi, don tuna, and salmon collar. Was a mesmerizing amount of food so, again, while pricey, maybe people see real value. I did NOT indulge in the happy hour but I guess given those items are at $5 I would say this would have incredible value.I would come back here again, maybe order something off the menu. I do NOT think this is good for groups of larger than 4-5 though. But I'm sure it's more fun when you're not just one.

For the price, I don't know where else you can find sushi of this kind around Scottsdale. Sushi Sen has a $5 sushi deal on 10 different speciality rolls that runs all day every day!! These are not just basic rolls; these are $5 speciality rolls! At first I was a bit suspicious, but it really was good sushi!Tried 5 of the speciality rolls, of the five, the chunky spicy toro and chunky spicy tuna rolls were definitely my favorite. The quality of the fish and flavors were there. They do not skimp out on the fish for the price. I will say the negihama ponzu rolls was a bit fishy, unsure if that speaks more to the nature of the roll or the fish I was served, but I wouldn't order this one again due to personal preference. Crispy onion roll was also tasty, just more of a basic style roll. Additionally, the veggie yakisoba was pretty decent-large portion. Also, tuesday they have 1/2 priced bottles of wine. Crazy deal to be getting 5 sushi rolls + a bottle of wine for under $50. Perfect for an affordable date night! The quality of sushi for the price alone makes this place worth coming back to time and time again. Overall, service was good-sushi came out quickly and servers were friendly!

Today was supposed to be the third time going to this restaurant due to the ideal pricing & freshness of the sushi. I called for pickup & let the lady on the phone know I was okay to wait 30-40 minutes for my order. When we arrived, we were passed by multiple servers and were not acknowledged once. My boyfriend had to flag one of them down letting her know I was here for a pickup order. Once I provided my name and number, they were frantically looking near the sushi bar then told me that I had canceled my order on the phone/did not have my food made. They then asked me if I wanted to wait even LONGER to have them take down my order in which I decided to drive somewhere else. Although I do love their food, the service has not been great each time we've visited. Even this past Friday, it took about 10 minutes for someone to come up to us for take our drink order. We continue to give them chances to support small businesses, but I think their restaurant space needs to grow so they can be more attentive to their customers.

Had an incredible dining experience at this hidden gem in North Scottsdale. The sushi rolls were fresh and flavorful and there were so many options. The happy hour special that runs everyday is a steal! I highly recommend this spot for anyone craving delicious sushi.

I feel like this is such a hidden gem for authentic Japanese tasting sushi and fresh fish for arizona. My personal favorite was the dynamite california roll because it was warm but it is a lot if you like simple rolls. Great prices, good service, ambiance felt like Japan. I will definitely be back to try more things from the menu!

As someone who grew up in Japan, I think this place is oh-so-good. I felt like I was in Japan. Even the air fresher in the bathroom was from Japan, haha. I got the noodle combination with tonkotsu tsukemen and mini chirashi. All for about $30 with tax. That's an excellent price for what you get. I became full very quickly and had to take some home. The sashimi pieces on the mini chirashi are so big. I would come back here again. Very kind attentive service as well!

Came here on the way home from work since I was craving sushi and missed their happy hour by a few minutes (until 5:45pm). But, they have about 10 items (including 9 rolls) that are $5 each all day! They also have a special on Wednesdays that's $25 for a bottle of wine and two rolls. I ended up getting 3 rolls. Figured I could try them out and take whatever was left back home. I got the chunky toro, negihama and dynamite rolls. They were all really good and didn't take much time at all to make despite the place being pretty packed for a Wednesday at 6pm. I wouldn't say it's the best sushi I've ever had, but for the price and great service, I'd say it's definitely a place to check out!

Came by during happy hour and had a great meal! We originally were going to go to a diff sushi spot for AYCE, but got just as full here for cheaper! Rolls are $5 each and nigiri $6 for 2 pieces here before 5:45pm. We arrived at 5:15pm and were seated right away. While it got crowded and took a while to get seated, once we ordered our food came quickly.The nigiris had huge and thick slices of fish which we appreciated!! It was so good. The rolls were also great. We particularly enjoyed the baked alaska and tuna tataki roll. We'll definitely be back for another happy hour!

My family and I have been here over half a dozen times since the recommendation from my friend. They have great sushi at great prices. The staff is always friendly and service is prompt. Their ramens are pretty good as well. Their unagi don is pricey, but they give you a lot of eel on top, so I'd say it's worth the price. Ambiance is casual and has a typical Japanese vibe from the entrance signage to the interior. I highly recommend this place for lunch with friends and family. It's a family run restaurant and Im all for supporting a local small business! Keep up the good work, guys!
