    Chicken and egg salad from Omazake dinner
    Kelly B.

    Had a tasty omazake meal here (6 courses). The dishes were very flavorful and the service was friendly and helpful. It was a little slow when we went because they were understaffed. The ambiance is hipster cool (mid-century modern).

    A hidden gen! Located inside a motel, this unusually shaped restaurant offers a surprising range of flavors. The room is like stepping back into the 1970s. We had the tasting menu. We tried to identify our favorite item, but everything stood out. The cocktails are unusual and creative. The service is attentive.

    Japanese yams - pass on these
    Sandra F.

    Have been wanting to try this place for such a long time! We stopped in on a whim when we were in the area and really enjoyed our experience. I was a little worried because I was wearing jeans but it's definitely a casual kind of place located inside a motor lodge. The food (really mostly tapas style bites) is creative and unique. Many of the dishes were Japanese with a hint of Latin/Mexican fusion. And it is fun to share dishes at the table! Got to try a lot of things! The Moss cocktail was absolutely delicious. The drink itself is earthy but the foam was citrusy, bright, and divine. Do not hesitate to order it. Amazing! We ordered about six dishes and it was just enough for two of us. We started with the sockeye salmon sashimi (because they were out of tuna). It was very good and fresh. The cheese on top was weird but it worked. Really nice overall but I wish I had some more sauce. Next came the grapefruit/ avocado citrus bite. It was really best thing we had that evening. So fresh and divine! I wanted more spoons! The finish was so light and smooth. The lamb with mango salad was a very small plate but was absolutely delicious! I also wanted more of this! The presentation made the plate look bare but it was still great. The shishito peppers were excellent (I always love them) but overall the dish was a little dry because they were covered in some kind of dry flakes. Looked interesting but I don't know what the flakes or pomegranates did for the dish. I would pass on the Japanese yams. They were topped with chilis and some kind Mexican style cheese. Pretty dry and not great. Pork belly and mushroom rice (one of the specials) was a solid dish and more substantive. It was not my favorite because I don't like fatty meats but my husband liked it! Our server was great and very helpful in dish selection! The chef served each item with love and care!! This part alone was worth the five stars. Might try the dining experience next time. Though it is a dining experience already if you order several dishes! My only comment to the restaurant is that I felt that most of the dishes were a bit on the dry side. I would have liked them more if they were served with a sauce or wet element! Thank you for a great experience! Hope to go back!

    Hai Noon is a hidden gem with a unique ambiance. The food and cocktails are incredible--creative, beautifully presented, and unlike anything else. Served as small plates, every dish we tried was delicious, with incredible flavors. Service was fine but not memorable; our server knew it was our first visit yet didn't offer much guidance. Still, we'll definitely be back for the FOOD.

    Big eyed tuna with roasted beet puree and wine reduction.

    Hai Noon has been on the radar for years. Located in the Papago Motor Inn, the restaurant has a real retro feel with Flintstone style rock motif throughout. A 2007 SW James Beard winner, Chef Nobuo Fukuda has created a unique dining experience for the adventorous foodie. The meal was very interactive with wait staff explaining and recommending each dish and how to enjoy it. The staff was engaging and not pushy or overbearing. Our neighbors went with us, which allowed us to try more small dishes. Now to the highlights of an evening of tasty adventure at Hai Noon. We started with cauliflower in a sesame sauce and green papaya salad with a curry dressing and panko fries tofu. The cauliflower was fair while the green papaya salad was delicious. The panko fried soft shell crab and rice noodles in nuac mam sauce was one of our favorites. The spoon selection of hamachi with grapefruit and avacado were a great combination and flavorful. The other spoon selection was hamachi with myoga and shiso on a taro chip, another great combo. Our waiter strongly suggested we try the big eye tuna with toasted beet puree and a wine reduction. The other selection was the salmon with lemon lime zest, mint and basil. Homerun! We were very pleased with our initial choices but the specials blew us away. The Japanese yams with salsa verde, goat cheese and pickled Fresno were memorable and just the right amount. The white fish carpaccio with garlic, ginger, yuzu and served table side with hot sesame oil was one of our favorites. We needed to order extra bread to soak up the incredible sauce. Our final and again, a favorite was the braised pork belly and mushroom rice. A memorable selection! I can't sing enough praise for this inventive, flavorful and incredible dining experience. The menu, we were told, changes on what is fresh. A standing ovation to chef Fukuda and his skills. This is our new favorite restaurant in Phoenix. If you tried Hai Noon, take you adventourous friends and enjoy a beautiful meal by a thoughtful chef. Amazing food, fun environment, unique selections and intentional flavored dishes. THANK YOU.

    A nice surprise! I don't think I was quite expecting this place to be what it actually is, a hidden gem! I had saved this place in my bookmarks to go when I got a chance to. Today was the day, and tapas style food sounded good so we came here tonight. The service was great! Loved the ambiance. I really loved that it's hidden inside a motel. At first we were confused but I just love the hidden gem aspect of it. Beautiful dimly lit atmosphere. The food was excellent. We got a couple different things. The sea bream and the porkbelly bun was oh just so delicious! They were all very unique which I thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely love to be back again soon!!!

    You know what feels icky? Discrimination. A group of my diverse gal pals and I walked into this bar and immediately you could feel a cold breeze coming from the staff. They asked what we needed and we just said we were coming in for drinks with our group of 12. They said we don't have a table for that and we shared we could break up into smaller areas. Their response, at the bar, was that they couldnt just have us standing around. So again we repeated we would be happy to break up into tables and bar seats. They then said there was no way they could accommodate us. The guy said they had too many reservations and they would need to have us out in 30 minutes. I said that's perfect we hope to just have 1 drink. The response then changed to our kitchen can't accommodate you. Immediately I was confused bc why do you need the kitchen for drinks!??? They then turned and walked away so we then felt we had to leave . Note: the bar was half full, the tables in the main bar were about 40% full, and the main room had 1 table full. See photo. For an area that has so many great spots, I would recommend trying everything else first. No thank you.

    Mushroom pasta
    Rachel L.

    I came here for my birthday and was blown away by the food. We are from Toronto and this was the one meal in Scottsdale that really stood out and wow'd us. I would easily come back if I am in Scottsdale again. A few of highlights: - Mushroom pasta (my boyfriend doesn't like mushrooms, but was our favourite dish of the night) - Carpaccio (tastes so good, smelled amazing, the bread at the end was a great touch) - Soft shell crab rice noodles (the texture of the noodles were so silky) I wasn't a huge fan of the chicken nanban. And was also really disappointed with the dessert which was an avocado ice cream and fritters. Service was really good throughout the night. The restaurant is cozy and romantic. We were surprised what gem this place is hidden beside a hotel inn.

    9/2024- soft shell crab and rice noodle
    Tzarina W.

    Apparently this is the same owner as Nobu teeter House which was closed years ago. I'm glad they are still alive and thriving here at Hai Noon. This is inside the Papago Motor Hotel. Parking is quite small. The feel of this restaurant is also small but quaint. Service is great as they filled our waters as the right moments. The ambience is a dimmed note. We ordered a quite a bit of foods such as: Special menu: - Japanese Yams $10- warm, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, salsa verde, goat cheese and cool pickled fresco - this combination is delicious. - carpaccio $24 - white fish with garlic and ginger and yuzu kosho and sizzling sesame oil for a slightly seared taste. - pork belly mushroom and rice $32 - some of the pork belly was nice and soft. Some was not as soft. - chicken nanban $21 - two wash ranch chicken with egg salad and pickled peppers slivered slices. This is a solid dish. Menu: - Pork belly bun $10- some of this pork belly was a bit over overcooked. Comes with some cucumbers in a pillow white bread. A staple. - soft shell crab and rice noodle- $18 panko breaded soft shell crab with rice noodle that had a crispy texture to it and nuoc mam sauce. Tasty. - tuna $20 - this is pan seared with roasted beets puree Pinot noir reduction sauce. I love this combo. -oyster $18 - with tomato water reduction, mascarpone, wasabi oil - grapefruit avocado $18- hamachi with grapefruit and avocado. For some reason this had a yuzu taste to it but it was so good. - ceviche $18 - kampachi with shiso, mayoga and taro chip which gave it a good crunchy texture. I loved this one too! Everything was to my liking for the most part. Would like to come back and try the omakase!

    The food is delicious and flavours were unique. A great experience dining here and would definitely come back. The quality of ingredients is fresh and you can taste the difference. Service was smooth and friendly. Bar and dining area, right night to an inn. There's valet parking available.

    Here's a rundown of the amazing dishes and drinks we enjoyed: Cocktails: Calipico - Refreshing and perfectly balanced Haiku - A delightful mix of flavors Desert Gem Colado - A tropical treat that hit the spot Dishes: Purple Sweet Potatoes - A feature for the evening. Beautifully cooked and flavorful Grapefruit and Avocado Hamachi - An absolutely amazing combination of flavors- a must get. Seabream - Very good and an unusual find. Fluke - Amazing! Chef Nobu poured hot ginger tea over it, adding a unique twist. This was a feature for the night so if they have it be sure to order! Soft Shell Crab Noodles - Tasty and satisfying. Ahi Tuna - Not the favorite at our table but still a solid dish Crispy Tofu - Perfectly cooked crispy tofu. Eggplant - A nice blend of sweet and salty. Mushrooms - I am generally a mushroom hater but tried a tiny one, and it was okay... Others at the table loved them. Little Birthday Doughnuts - A sweet and delightful end to the meal The food, drinks, and overall vibes were on point. Can't wait to come back! Definitely a 5 star experience in my opinion.

    Probably my favorite meal on our 18 day trip to Arizona. It's pricey, but totally worth it. And get a reservation, as the restaurant is quite small. The format of the meal is small plates, which you share. The staff is great about helping you order the right amount of food. They do have an omakase menu, but you need to reserve in advance. Also, I would suggest an earlier reservation as they do have limited quantities. The trade off is that the food (especially the fish) is extremely fresh. Delicious cocktails and food at a cool little unassuming spot.

There are also lots of plants around to offer a balance of green and brown to the scenery. During our time here, there was a large party taking about half the dining area so the service times were impacted. We came in as a party of 5 with a wait time of about 20 minutes. This was totally fine since we did not have a reservation. During the wait, we partook in their game area which helped us pass the time. All the games were fun, free, and open! Our food was pretty good. I ordered the wings, Caesar salad, and broccolini. The wings were of good size and flavor. The Caesar salad was pretty decent, but the amount of lemon in the dressing was a bit overpowering. I was making pucker faces as I was eating and let my girlfriend finish the salad. She agreed that the lemon was much stronger than other salads, but she enjoys lemon so she was okay with it. I tried her Wagyu cheeseburger (happy hour meal) and unfortunately both of us felt like the meat itself was lacking lots of flavor. My sister ordered the OG chicken sandwich and she said it needed more sauce for flavor. I will confidently say my favorite food of the night was broccolini. The cook was perfect and the flavor was great! I would recommend that side to everyone! As I stated before, there was a large party during our meal, so service time was admittedly slower than expected and we had to remind our server to bring us spoons for our desert, for a to go box, and for a water refill. Since it was busy and packed, I understand it could be difficult so I won't judge it too harshly. I will say one of the food runners, Shaye, supported our table and was very kind and understanding when we flagged her down for something. She really made our experience that much better with her attitude and speed! Given all of the information above, 4/5. Improvements on the food would make it 5 stars for me.

They were able to accommodate us although the hostess was a little rude as we could've just went somewhere else if there was no room. All of us ordered the steak frites and a lot of ours had really big fat pieces so there actually wasn't much "meat." In comparison to the first time we went here, the steak the first time was much better. They also changed the chimichurri recipe which was needed and was really good this time. A few people got the dole whip boozy marg. They said it was a 3/5 as it was inconsistent drink to drink, ex: one got cherry, one didn't; one was more watery than another one. They said they wouldn't get it again. Overall it was a little disappointing compared to my first visit, especially with most of us only being able to eat half our steak. They also changed the plating to the wooden boards which were kind of warped so when we were cutting our steaks, it was shaking the table a lot.

    Loved this place!…read more First, we had to change our reservation, and the host could not have been nicer. On a busy Saturday night, he graciously allowed us to push it back by an hour, which we really appreciated. When we arrived, we were immediately impressed. The jungle theme, leopard prints, intimate booths, and dramatic overhead lighting created a fun, unique atmosphere. The service was excellent, the cocktails were delicious, and every dish we ordered was a hit. My son said it may have been the best steak tartare he's ever had (although neither of us was a fan of the plantain chips). It was certainly the best tartare I've had in a very long time, with generous chunks of high-quality steak instead of being overly minced. The baked brie dip was outstanding, the grilled oysters were excellent, and my New York strip was cooked perfectly. My only small criticism is that the oyster appetizer came with just three oysters. For a $19 appetizer, I'd love to see at least four. An even number also makes sharing much easier, although my son generously let me have the extra one! Overall, this is a fantastic concept with great food, great service, and a memorable atmosphere. We can't wait to come back.

    Our final verdict after dining at Filthy Animal steakhouse in Tempe, Arizona, on a Sunday night…read moreafter seeing The Odyssey at Harkins nearby: High Aura. We called about half hour before and made a reservation by phone. I was disappointed that my first order choice of the Seabass was unavailable and my second choice of lamb chops was also unavailable. Not sure if this is because it was a Sunday night and/or we made the reservation immediately before showing up. They were also out of the Melted Cast-Iron Brie Small Plate that we were excited about ordering for the table. We loved this restaurant because of the dark and jungle-themed interior. We were excited to see the bold taxidermy featuring the large cats combined with the ornate, gold- framed dapper animal art hanging on the walls. Another reason to love this spot: hidden inside is an entrance to a secret cocktail lounge, or speakeasy, called "Drop Dead Gorgeous." We also appreciated the entire restaurant centering around a glowing, raw wood-fire cooking pit. We could hear and watch our entrées being prepared. What we didn't love so much: the items that we would've liked to have ordered were unavailable. The price to portion ratio in the small bites could also be improved a bit. Great service from our waitress throughout the evening. We ordered: - Fire Roasted Bone Marrow for the table (3/5) - sourdough toast, jalapeño marmalade with demi. I was so excited to try bone marrow for the first time. It was interesting. Sort of like a mix between butter and fat from a steak. It tasted really good with the spicy jalapeño jelly and bread provided. I expected us to be warm and it came out cold. Still not sure if I like it or not. Maybe I'll give it a second try - White Oak Grilled Chicken Skewers (4/5) - served with shiso leaves, kimchi, shishito peppers. kosho aioli, lemon aioli, ssamjung for the table - Very yummy. We enjoyed these. We had actually changed our mind right after initially putting in the milk bread order for the table and they brought out the milk bread so quickly that our waitress said she would give this to us on the house. - Milk Bread for the table (4/5) - miso tomato butter, almond & Kalamata. Even though we changed our mind and got this sent to our table accidentally, I would order this again. It was very delicious and it comes out as an adorable little tomato shaped and colored milk bread with the toppings looking like the stem on top. So tasty and everybody loved it. A little small for our party of five. - Lemongrass Half Chicken (5/5) - Caramelized carrots, kyoto roasted garlic, mashed potatoes & jalapeno jam. Hubs loved this. He said everything was delicious and went well together. - Bomba Rice x2 (5/5) - Risotto, shrimp, linguica, chicken, piquillo peppers, green peas, kosher aioli & Parmesan. My son and his girlfriend both ordered this and said it was very good. - Shishito Caesar Salad add Chicken Skewers (5/5) - bonito, charred shishito peppers, ricotta salata, tapioca chicharron & togarashi. My daughter ordered this and said it was very good. - Spicy Peanut & Tomato Salad add Chicken Skewers (5/5) - peanut dressing, heirloom tomato, baby gem, daikon radish, onion, mala chile, whipped queso de cabra & sour nut. YUMMMM What a creative and unique salad! So glad I tried it. It has unique flavors that work well with each other and a crunch. There's also some heat that goes along with the salad. I was able to withstand it. My son would probably say it's not spicy at all. I'll be craving this salad for months to come. - Dad or Daddy Specialty Cocktail - bright, buzzed & stoned vodka, apricot liqueur, Riesling cordial, ginger, lime, topped with Red Bull Peach Edition (White Peach) - Fruity Mocktail - I asked the waitress if they had any mocktails and she asked me what I liked and gave me examples. Based on what I told her she brought me out a delicious fruity mocktail topped with fresh mint. Parking along the street at metered parking or in parking garage nearby. A few streets away from Tempe Town Lake.

It's the kind of restaurant that makes getting dressed up feel exciting and worth it, and I absolutely loved that about the experience.

Everyone was friendly, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling overbearing. The service honestly matched the upscale atmosphere perfectly and made the whole experience feel even more polished. And OMG... the food. SO SO SO SO SO GOOD. Like genuinely one of those meals where every single bite makes you pause for a second because it tastes that incredible. I got the chicken orzo along with the lime icebox cake for dessert, and both were absolutely amazingggg. The chicken orzo was phenomenal. The lemon flavor throughout the orzo was bright, fresh, and flavorful without being overpowering, and the tomatoes were the PERFECT addition because they balanced everything so well and added a little sweetness and freshness to the dish. But the chicken... wow. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while still being super juicy and tender inside, which is honestly hard to do. Every component of the dish worked together perfectly. Magnificent is genuinely the best word for it. And the lime icebox cake was the perfect ending to the meal, refreshing, creamy, flavorful, and not too heavy after dinner. Honestly, I'm sitting here craving the food again just looking back at the pictures I took. This is definitely one of those restaurants that sticks in your mind long after you leave.

I later noticed I was charged $2 for an additional five slices, which together didn't even amount to half an apple. Ironically, the bread that comes with the dish would have been far more substantial. The burrata was fine, but nothing memorable. My friend ordered the chicken and brussels sprouts and didn't even finish it before having the plate taken away. The flourless almond cake was the star, a bit salty on its own, but with the ice cream and whipped cream it was a delightful combo which were the highlight. Overall, this is a great spot for cocktails, ambiance, and photos, but the food is fairly mediocre compared to the setting.

    Had a great experience overall. The host staff were great and super nice. Our server Caesar was…read moreawesome. He was so friendly and just had fun. He knew the menu inside and out and we also took most of his recommendations. We chose food first, then talked to the Som who was professional and awesome as well. First time here and thought oh no this is in the W where Sushi Roku used to be, let's see how it is. And it didn't disappoint. We started off with the meatballs. The sauce was fantastic not too salty and not too sweet it was great. The beef carpaccio was also amazing. Not a huge fan of the mushrooms but they were good and the shaved parm and toasted pine nuts were a great added touch. We ordered a bunch of stuff and shared. The chicken parm yes was awesome. Filling! It is their staple and it should be ordered. $68 for it was a little high IMO for chicken, but it was a double breasted. We got two pastas the lobster fettuccine and the Vodka pasta. Both were great you can see the pics. I personally loved the Vodka pasta mixed in with the burrata. The place was remolded nicely. We sat toward the back but go the whole view of the restaurant. It was decorated nice and they had their theme and it works. The bar looked cool. They had the drink cart guy and he seemed to be making people happy and they were all recording him. Overall I'd be back it was fantastic.

    One of the best dining experiences I've had in quite a while, Sexy Roman was simply wonderful. The…read moreservice was attentive and I loved that they didn't rush us through our meal so we really got to soak it all in and enjoy it Saturday night dinner. Love the special touches like the light at your table to call the martini cart bartender over to do table side personalized martinis. Our waitress was phenomenal and offered so many helpful menu tips as well. For the ambiance, think dark, moody, and sexy vibes. Even though the exterior and bathroom areas of the W Hotel are under construction, the ambiance within the restaurant is beautiful and unaffected. I also appreciated their waiting area with seating and TVs so we could catch the very end of the World Cup game! The food and drinks were amazing. I had a delicious mocktail with elderflower - dare I say one of the best I've ever had...I'd go back for just that! Everyone else at our table loved their martinis as well. Often when you dine at these new aesthetic spots in Phoenix/Scottsdale the food disappoints - but not here. Only dish we didn't love was the chicken piccata which was a bit plain. My vodka pasta and the braised beef pasta were delicious and flavorful. And let's not forget the dessert offerings: gelato, affogato, and tiramisu were all so good! I'll definitely return here it was top tier all around!

    We stopped in at this location to sample some whiskey and were very pleased with the variety…read more My friend is always on the mission to find the next rare must have and his next favorite to add to his collection ( mine was that Louisville Hazmat with its brown sugar/caramel flavors .. yum!) Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Variety is a 10/10, liquor, ciders, wine, swag, bar accessories, etc. After several samples I knew I needed food, we headed to their patio and ordered pizza. I had the mushroom with light cheese. It came out fast and was very good, the bite on that crust was perfect, the ingredients tasted fresh. My friends had the margarita pizza and they said there's was also delicious, some of the best pizza they've had. They had games on the patio and plenty of seating. The weather and full moon last night made it a perfect evening! (We did hit two other Trevor's right after.. gotta take advantage when you have a DD .. cheers!! )

    I have been to this location multiple times and the service and food are usually always on point…read more Tonight the food was delicious as always. However, the service from our waitress was very disappointing. My husband, grandson, and I were dining, and since we had our grandson with us it was getting late. When she brought the bill, we tried to hand her our payment method, but she completely ignored us and walked away. It wasn't busy enough to excuse that, and she never acknowledged our request. Again, the food was great as usual, but the customer service tonight was very disappointing.
