Wow... I haven't been to this place in a year. There's a reason. When Moira first opened, I waited a few weeks then went down there to check it out. The sushi wasn't bad. It was actually okay. The reason I think it was even okay was because, like many others... I WANT to like it. I've lived downtown for 15+ years and we're starving for an outstanding sushi spot... okay... even a "decent" sushi spot. It didn't happen with Moira. The first few times I went there... the food wasn't too shabby... but then... OOPS... not so good. I've now gone there a couple of times and received FOUL sushi. I'm not joking. The icing on the cake was the last time my bf and I went there and the tuna sashimi was served to us in a VERY LARGE portion. We were both excited... at first. Then quickly realized that the fish was definitely past its expiration. UGH... the smell was SO BAD. When we alerted the server of this they told us that they'd see if they could take it off the bill. Uh... we were NOT about to pay for this foul smelling tuna. I mean who in their right mind would eat this? In the end, they agreed to not have us pay for that dish. What I thought was pretty screwed up was that they served this to us thinking that we were idiots and some stinky tuna would just fly under the radar. NOPE! Btw, the above experience isn't the only one. I had a previously bad experience on NYE 2 years ago... and should have not gone back... but I chalked it up as one bad incident and thought I'd be open minded, since I really wanted to like it. The only thing I could say positively about the place was that the sake menu was pretty good. But to be honest with you... great sake is only a few steps away at Sens... along with some really tasty eats. I truly want to have a great sushi place downtown here... why can't we get it? I'm willing to pay a good price for exceptional food. When will that exceptional sushi spot come to downtown PHOENIX?!
