Seems like it would be a lot cheaper to get your sushi/sashimi fix this way.

I have not, but thanks for the link. I've been thinking of making my own sushi for a while now.

Dustin,

where are we going this year in SoCal? Should we give dvickery a call?

Last week I had some great sushi.
Had a salmon skin roll, spicy tuna roll, alaska roll which was salmon & avocado. For Nigiri I had a few pieces of Fatty Tuna, Kobe and Foie Gras (first time ever having it and I fell in love!)
Hands down the best in the area.

For the most rewarding sushi experience, if you got a good place with a reputable sushi chef at the bar, just go to the bar and ask for the chef's omakase.. You don't necessarily know what you'll eat or what it'll cost, but as long as you have a good chef, it's well worth it!

I'm a sushi hound. Favorites are unagi, spicy tuna rolls, uni. I envy you guys that can get *real* O-toro on a regular basis.

Don't get too envious, your wallet is probably a lot heavier than ours as a result

Still a bit of a novice here. I've found I love the shrimp tempura at Fishbone's in Grosse Point (near Sailchaser's house). But, my favorite is the Magaro at Noble Fish in Clawson. It's not even a restaurant, but a Japanese fish market that happens to have a sushi counter in the back & 2 or 3 (2-man) tables. Apparently Noble Fish has won some kind of best sushi in Michgan award more than once. If you're ever in the area...

Someone dropped off a nice tray of sashimi at my house last night. It was delicious.

Sushi by mail, hmmm I could make millions.

Grilled salmon skin roll is bomb

I figured I'd revive this thread since I love sushi like no other.

Went to Kabuki's in Tempe, AZ yesterday and just told the sushi chef "omakase" or chef's choice (basically). He fixed me a great 5 course sampling of his best work using his finest fish. It was amazing. Wish I had taken some photos. But instead here's a few photo's of previous sushi outings









Now I'm hungry!

mmmmm love me some deep fried shrimp heads.

Agreed that is very much where it is.

If you get up to the west side. Sakana (59th and 101) is one of the only other places I know that gets Ama-ebi in. They have a few locations on in chandler and the other off of indian bend and scottsdale. But if you get a chance they always have fresh stuff in. They get amber jack a lot too which is one of my fav's. But I spent time in Japan in high school so I always lean toward the more traditional fare myself.

[Jbailey]

Also love Fatty Tuna Nigiri.

[LasciviousXXX]

I'm with you on that one as well Trevor. Mostly only traditional stuff for me as well. Thanks for the info on Sakana's. I've actually been to their location in Chandler (I live in Gilbert). Good stuff

There's a very traditional sushi place on the border of Chandler/Gilbert called Taiko's. Traditional Japanese dinners and traditional style sushi. Great stuff! We took my mother in law, who is from Kyushu, there and she loved it.

Sushi again for lunch today. The spicy tuna roll always hits the spot.

Best sushi I had was a side of the road Japanese restaurant in upstate New York. The place is owned and operated by a Japanese couple. They barely speaks English. Found it on my way back from Niagara. Yum
