text: Oh how I wish I lived in Phoenix so I could become a regular here For those of you who are also on the quest to find authentic Japanese restaurants in the US go to Hiros if you find yourself in the area From the initial Irrashai As we walked in the experience was like being in a little sushi joint in Japan My companion noted several times how great the service was and I have to agree I was excited to see Okinawa Soba on the menu so gave that a shot along with Otoro salmon Hamachi and Kani Ok so the Toro did not need to be chewed it merely meltedheaven The last time I had Okinawa Soba was in Japan and this was the real deal even to include the hot pepper infused Awamori ok it was actually Vodka but tasted the same Our waitress had just moved here from Okinawa three years ago nnWe had a Japanese rice beer An import that was very good nnSooo this was overall an excellent experience and I am glad we found it
