What is the sentiment of the following review?
My husband and I are fairly recent transplants to the Valley and I'd been given a recommendation to check this place out for sushi. I'll start out by saying that the service was good and the sashimi that we order was fresh. After that it pretty much goes down hill. We spent $80 just on sushi, and both of us left there hungry. Steep prices are met by skimpy amounts of fish. The only normal sized item we were served was the salmon sashimi. One of our appetizers was yellowtail, and for $18 we were served 6 tiny slivers of tuna. The rolls, while I particularly enjoyed that they were the perfect bite sized amounts and looked pretty when it was served, primarily consisted of rice. Sorry, but a mouthful of rice is not what I'm looking for when spending $15+ on a roll. I'd actually like to have SOME fish in the roll. Everything but the sashimi pretty much lacked flavor and character. They touted when we got there that it was authentic Japanese, well, I hate to tell them it is far from it! Just because you have a very limited selection on your menu doesn't mean it is authentic Japanese. I've had sushi in Japan... and the Japanese would scoff at what was presented to us. If you want to pay for a "yuppy" Scottsdale vibe, then this is your place. But if you actually want fish with your sushi and to be fulfilled when you're done eating... I'd keep looking because Roka Akor doesn't cut it.
