Again, we've been on an epic sushi expedition since moving here, trying to find GOOD sushi in Phoenix.  So far, the best has been Sushi on Shea in Scottsdale. However, friends recommended Stingray, so off we went.\n\nNow, we are definitely not this trendy. No Sir.  We felt quite a bit out of place, and while I did like most of the decor (walking over fish looking up my skirt was a bit awkward), some of it was too much. Also, the hostesses wore nothing to differentiate them; it was like being in the emo-ville section of ASU.\n\nStepping in, we waited a good 5 minutes before we were sat. Once sat, our server took her time coming over too. Between the initial service and the prices, we were pretty unimpressed. Also, the lack of vegetarian sushi options was kind of disappointing.\n\nHowever, the food, once ordered, was delicious. The iced tea was super tasty, and my partner got a crunchy roll and a spicy salmon roll.  She said both were the freshest she's tasted since we moved here.  Due to the lack of veggie-friendly sushi options, I opted for the Udon soup with a soy broth. Granted, it came out about 10 minutes after my partner's sushi did, but it was worth it. Veggies, noodles and a DELICIOUS broth made it well worth the $12, and I was definitely full.\n\nWill we come back? Yes, but not too frequently. The pricing is a bit high, and we're way too un-trendy for such a place, so Sushi on Shea will be our go to, affordable place. However, for a once in a while date night sushi place, Stingray will top the list.
