text: We wanted to try Ryu since we live in the neighborhood We were seated promptly and placed our orders The atmosphere was very nice fairly upscale for being in a shopping center We went on a Sunday evening and it was not that busy We had our own teppanyaki grill as the few others had full tables Our appetizers were served quickly Both were good edamame and egg rolls although fairly small serving size The soup and salad were what you expect from teppanyaki both were average The reason I cannot give it stars was how long we waited for the chef to come over and do the cooking of the entrees After about minutes another couple came in and were seated with usabout mins after they sat down we finally got a chef He was entertaining and had a few new tricks we had not seen before My FAVORITE aspect of the restaurant which will DEFINITELY have me going back is that they serve SHRIMP SAUCE I am from back east and ALL teppanyaki places even Benihana serve saucesthe mustard the soyginger and a shrimp suace I have been in AZ for years and have tried numerous teppanyaki places and NO ONE here serves shrimp sauce just the mustard and soyginger I never really got too excited about teppanyaki because of the lack of shrimp sauce it is my favorite of the so to see this made the whole experience that much better There is nothing like shrimp sauce on the fried rice SO SO GOOD So for all you native Phoenicians or southwest folks who do not know what that light colored sauce isput it on the rice put it on everythingit is soooo yummy I am so happy they serve it that even after waiting almost an hour for our chef to start cooking I will most definitely be back to Ryu My husband had the steak and it was cooked perfectly I had the chicken and it was good as well We both loved the fried rice it was delicious as were the shrimp appetizer Our daughter ordered the noodle dish and it was good as well We did not try any sushi but those that we saw others had seemed to enjoy them
