text: I was sampling at Helen and Jans Sweet Republic when I asked Helen for recommendations on where to have a late lunch before I would return to take a pint of ice cream home and she directed me to Sushi Ko I arrived at SK at p only to be told that happy hour was from p so I debated on heading over to Chompies to try this Scottsdale location I am always ready to eat sweet potato fries or wait for p to arrive Thank goodness Sprouts was just around the corner and I could walk around and explorennAt p sharp I returned to SK and headed straight to the sushi counter and took a seat I like watching the chefs prepare the dishes As I was looking over the nigiri selections off only applies to nigiri pcs each a server took my drink order I just wanted water although I did contemplate on trying Kirin a TALL bottle costs only This great value really did not awe me since I am not one to drink beers but in the end I thought When in Rome I only drank a quarter of the bottle maybe lessnnI decided to try the nnSalmon Always a solid choice I sometimes forget to ask if the salmon is wild or farmed I try to eat only wild and I doubt that SK can offer wild salmon during HH At any rate these pieces tasted fresh and mild A contrast from the salty and fishytasting mackerelnnMackerel I liked this at first as it had a bolder flavor than the salmon but by the second piece the fishy taste combined with the saltiness overwhelmed my tastebuds and subsequently my duodenum I will spare you the visualsnnSpicy scallops Ok but I would not order it again The scallops were sliced into smaller pieces and I would have preferred them whole I have enjoyed them in a couple of places where the spicy kick was delivered to the receiver via a cream sauce not authentic perhaps but that is how I prefer scallops Speaking of awesome scallops do check out Nouveau Bistros I really have to go back there soon I did enjoy the crunchy seaweed wrapping the rice nnand Freshwater eel Handsdown the best of the lot These were served very warm with eel sauce drizzled on top I swear I do like sushi which is traditionally served cold I have never enjoyed eel before for I either found its texture too rubbery in most places or the accompanying sauce too sweet I savored these two pieces and fought the urge to order a second servingnnI will definitely be back for happy hour to try other selections and more of the eel There is also a sea eel version opinions anyone
