output: I don't like to give such a low review of this store after we experienced an enjoyable afternoon there during their pre-grand opening, but we tried to get in there yesterday afternoon and it was absolutely impossible. After 20 minutes of driving around the tiny lot and the parking deck, narrowly avoiding the cars/large SUVS rounding the tight corners, we finally found someone leaving in the lot, only to have our spot stolen by a woman coming in from the other direction. That was the last straw, especially after she snapped "not my problem." Hopefully that's not a sign of the clientele, but I may never know, especially after reading some of the other reviews. There were even 3 off-duty police officers or security guards walking around, one of whom witnessed this, and they didn't offer to help or direct at all. We made our over to EarthFare and had a great experience there, including sampling a variety of foods, getting a free hand massage and a free pound of delicious cole slaw (w/$5 purchase), and easy access in and out.

I have been to the flagship store over 100 times, and the food quality is always consistent & excellent. Their pizza is amazing yes, but so is their green chile burger. It's a generous beef patty made with never-frozen grass-fed beef. Now for the airport version of the green-chile burger that doesn't belong in the same universe: the beef patty was not the same weight, it was a thin, dry McDonald's quality patty. It lacked flavor and was just old & tired. Also I asked for it to be cooked medium & it was well-done. I don't think the English muffin was from LGO. There was no Russian dressing. The green chiles were soggy & disgusting to the point I took them off. I didn't have time to bring it back since I had to board a plane. If you are looking for a top-notch restaurant in Phoenix give LGO in Arcadia a try. Skip the airport location which is bringing down their brand that they have been trying to establish for many years.

Authentic sushi seekers BEWARE! Things are not as they seem.... I am beginning to become more and more weary of reviews for Asian food on Yelp. This isn't the first time I've trusted Yelp with Asian food and ended up disappointed. 4 stars and 600 reviews? How can that many people have indiscernible palettes???? First I noticed right off the bat - the FISH IS FROZEN!!!! Wake up call everyone - when you walk into a sushi joint and the fish is PRE-SLICED, you are not eating fresh fish!!!!!!!! Never have I EVER had sushi where the chefs do not slice the fish from a refrigerated, fresh raw fish steak. I know a lot of people like that the sushi comes out quickly - and it does, to a point where it just doesn't seem right, and guess what, that's because the fish has been pre-sliced and it is not fresh. That in itself is enough to give 1 star to this place. What a disgrace. We started off eating the highly regarded "seafood salad." Looked like the ocean threw up a bunch of reject ahi tuna chunks. There were pieces of fish that were unidentifiable, sitting atop some julienned daikon radish in a pool of spicy-sweet sauce, similar to the sauce that comes in poke salads. There were red specks floating in the sauce that gave it a spicy kick. Each seafood salad looks different (according to the pics on here); mine had two random pieces of tempura in it, that were soggy from sitting in the pool of sauce. Okay. We also ordered gyoza (pot sticker dumplings)- which honestly is a waste of stomach space when you're out to eat sushi, but gyoza's good, so whatever. The gyoza was deep fried, but it wasn't crispy. Gyoza is definitely frozen as well, and since when was gyoza by default deep-fried and you didn't get at least the option to have it steamed and fried on the bottom like, you know, traditional gyoza? The test of fresh, high-quality fish can be found in an order of sea urchin. The caliber of sea urchin in a sushi joint will reveal the condition of other fish. For those who have eaten fresh, creamy sea urchin, you know that the color of it is a mild beige; it should look nice and plump, and taste like the ocean made flesh. My sea urchin was BROWN and was limp like it just gave up on life on top of the rice. It did NOT taste like the ocean made flesh. It tasted the way sea urchin tastes those times you have to mentally convince yourself that it is actually good, that you should actually swallow it even though your taste buds may be screaming out otherwise. Oh, also, my mackerel was dry. Fresh mackerel, like other fresh fish, should have a sheen to it. But of course, if you pre-cut your fish, dryness is to be expected. Keep in mind I ordered all nigiri sishi here - with the exception of one roll that my dinner companion wanted to try. I'm sorry to break it to all you sushi-happy people, but if you only order rolls when you go eat sushi, you don't really like sushi. You like frikkin mayo, bitch. As a Japanese person, I know that it is a waste of stomach space to fill yourself up on fried batter, eel sauce, and spicy mayo. Really it is just a way to cover up the flavor of delicious raw fish. Then again - this place doesn't use delicious raw fish so maybe it is a better idea to mask the flavor of it. Believe me when I say Japanese people don't fuck with rolls the way non-Japanese sushi-eaters do. There is nothing wrong with choosing that route, though, I guess, and the roll was tasty, so I suppose with the price, this is somewhere you should come if you only eat fillers. Lastly - I always order a hand roll with shiso leaf and ume (plum) paste as my last sushi - it is very refreshing and cleanses your palette before dessert. When I asked the sushi chef to make it for me, he asked WHAT IT WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I won't even comment further on this. That is just not right. I know this review was full of vitriol, but someone had to say something. I do not understand how this place is so popular. This place is to sushi as Taco Bell is to Mexican food. It didn't taste bad, and that's the only thing I can say about it. Taco Bell doesn't taste bad either. I would much rather spend a few more dollars at a Japanese-owned Goyemon or Sushi Mon and know I am getting fresh, high-quality fish. There are only so many meals I will eat in my life, and I regret having wasted one of them on this place. Two stars for punctual, friendly service (only from the servers, not the sushi chef). Will not be back, EVER!
