    Vegas roll 10.50 at happy hour
    Darlene M.

    Service was excellent, Audrey was wonderful and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is American Japanese with TVs for sporting events[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] the food was really good. Everything we ordered except the Beef Sukiyaki was on the Happy Hour menu (3-6 pm). I especially enjoyed the miso soup and the sushi's. The krab salad was good too light and cold on a hot day. My husband liked everything especially the Beef Sukiyaki, Vegas roll and spicy tuna roll. They even validate parking on event nights.

    So to start I love how the menu is presented and there are so many options to choose from and I want to try all of them . What is shown in the photo was 6.7/10 but I tried the other dishes which were super yummy. I'm not gonna let one dish determine the worth of this restaurant, with that being said I would go again!

    I recently went here for my engagement dinner for the first time! We weee excited to try because sushi is a special meal for us.. The manager / host was so friendly in the way he greeted us. We appreciated his positive presence. It took us a while to wait for our server Anthony. Although nice he did go missing a few times to we had to ask another server for water and ask the food runner for more food items because he kept going back and forth... not sure what happened there We will be back! Food was yummy!

    Garlic asparagus salmon roll
    Elsie M.

    A friend and I were recently in the area for a concert and decided to grab an early dinner here before the show. After looking over the menu, I ordered the garlic asparagus salmon roll and the unagi bowl. My friend ordered her own sushi and main entrée. The garlic asparagus salmon roll was the better of the two. The roll was nicely balanced with a light amount of crunch to it. In one or two roll pieces, the asparagus was a bit tough. The unagi bowl was decent, it was a nice surprise to have more items in the bowl than the usual unagi don you see at some other places here. We came around 4 p.m. and were able to be seated right away. Unfortunately, service was a bit slow and unorganized. Our server took a long time to take our order, and we were never given ginger or wasabi or a cup for our soy sauce to go with the sushi we ordered. Additionally, our entrees did not come out around the same time. My friend's sushi roll and main entrée came out way before mine did and by the time mine came out, she was already done with her meal. You can tell the restaurant has been around for a while from the wear and tear of their interior. I would say skip the hot entrees and stick to the sushi. The sushi was of better quality, which was decent. If you're in the area for an event, and looking to grab a meal, this place fulfills its purpose well. I would just recommend coming a little earlier to make sure you get to the event on time.

    Our first time at this restaurant and we took a seat at the sushi bar. We had a first hand view of the sushi rolls as they were made as they were picked up by the servers right in front of us. They have a regular happy hour and reverse happy with excellent discounts. We ordered only from the happy hour menu and they did not disappoint. We will definitely be back!

    Sushi Moriawase
    Renée M.

    Had dinner before the Bruno Mars concert across the street. Thankfully we made reservations and they were able to hold it with a 15-minute grace period as we had a lot of traffic to go thru. We made it to our 6pm reservation and were seated within a minute or 2. I heard a walk-in probably had to wait 30-40 minutes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was packed as it's in an outdoor shopping area with lots of restaurants & shops and probably other concert goers were there too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were seated at a booth and it was definitely bustling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server, Audrey helped us and we took a few minutes to decide. I was only in the mood for Miso Soup, Green Salad with a Ginger dressing and hot, white rice. My cousins ordered the Sushi Moriawase, Sesame Chicken and Chirashi "Kaisen Don" type of bowls We also had an order of Jumbo Scallops with Mushrooms and hot, Green Tea for the table. We placed our orders & they came shortly thereafter. We had to ask for utensils and napkins as they weren't provided once we were seated. A couple of times my cousin had to ask for hotter tea as it was warm and I ended up asking for hot water on the side. My cousin liked her sushi platter and I liked my comfort food, esp. the refreshing salad! I would order that again! My other cousins ate their bowls but one mentioned to me later on that she felt a little sick when we got to the concert. I was wondering why she was a little quiet! She thinks the fish wasn't that fresh. We paid our bills on the hand-held device and left. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seems more like a Japanese restaurant more for the modern, upbeat ambiance than for quality and service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Perhaps they need more attention to detail on what's being served and when setting up tables for service.

    This was my first time trying this place I had heard some good things about it. The ambience was nice. The service was horrible. We had to ask for our server to be replaced because she had a horrible attitude ( Kelly ) which they quickly did. The young man and the lady that took over the table were great. The food and appetizers came out pretty fast and the food turned out to be very good. I would definitely try another location because the scallops were very good. Service 2/5 Atmosphere 3/5 Parking 3/5 Food 5/5 Location 4/5 Return Factor ( this location ) 0/5

    Beef Yakisoba
    Cortney B.

    Stopped in for dinner after seeing the new Mortal Kombat movie (10/10 recommend) I've always wanted to try this spot and luckily my date was willing to try it out with me! Our server Dillian was amazing, he let us know about their night time happy hour menu and special recommendations. I got the beef kimchi yakisoba, and it was DELICIOUS! Would absolutely come back and can't wait to try more food on the menu!

    We arrived soon after the restaurant opened for the day. There was a short 15 minute wait. We were seated and our drink order was taken right away. Once the drinks arrived, our food order was taken. Half of the order arrived quickly. The other half sat on the bar until we told the server that it had been sitting there for a while. The sashimi was frozen in the middle. The bathroom here is crazy. You get dizzy the moment you walk in. Several children were crying because of the confusion of the mismatched lines. One child was getting motion sickness because of the lines. It was awful! If you visit, try to avoid the bathroom. I had to close my eyes in order to get in and out.

    Ellie N.

    Quite pricey for the quality of the sushi. The unagi is way too sweet and the salmon eggs are super salty. We came in on Friday evening and the wait wasn't bad. They said 20 minutes but the table was ready in 10

    Chicken & beef teriyaki combo - 7/10
    Christy C.

    One of my favorite Asian spots in Arizona! It is located on the second floor of the Westgate Entertainment District. Parking can be slightly difficult especially on the weekends since it's shared with many other restaurants but the parking lot is really big! Service is ok, wish it was more attentive and friendly The menu offers a variety of rolls, sashimi, nigiri (whether you like it cooked or raw!) They also have meat dishes, ramen, and combination plates (perfect if you want some beef/chicken and some sushi!) I usually get the beef and chicken teriyaki combo and it comes with veggie tempuras, 3 pieces of California roll, and a salad for $21.45! I would say it's 7/10 The beef teriyaki is soometimes too chewy and not tender enough and the chicken is usually a little too dry and rough. The sauce used is a tad sweet and salty and tastes pretty good. The salad is your typical garden salad and the greens are usually pretty fresh. The California rolls are your standard rolls and nothing too special. The tempura is perfectly fried and super crispy without being too oily or greasy. Would totally recommend and return especially since there aren't that many good Asian spots to choose or go to in Glendale, AZ!

    We visited Kabuki Japanese Restaurant during happy hour. I had the Sake Sangria and Hubby had the Sapporo Draft beer. There were numerous food selections available during happy hour. We share the Sunkissed Roll, Yellowtail Roll, Salmon Roll, Yellowtail Sushi, Salmon Sushi, Mixed Tempura, and Eel Sashimi. Everything tasted fresh and we had just enough food. Highly recommend their happy hour, which runs daily until 6 pm.

    Calamari Rings

    Best late night sushi happy hour menu! Deals for drinks, apps and even speciality roles. You name it. The bar staff were friendly and fun. They offered some suggestions to help with my indecisive nature because I just want to order one of everything. The calamari was cooked perfect so it wasn't chewy and the sauce that comes with it adds a little razzle dazzle if you're in the mood. Feel free to eat them just as they come because they are delicious. The shrimp tempura roll did not disappoint and also had crab with avocado that are some of my faves to order. I washed everything down with a Kirin and hot sake again all on the happy hour menu as well. I will be back for some late night adventures when I'm craving good sushi for half the cost.

We are aware that it is not an eat in place. Usually the food is great. Right on point. Today the food tasted good but was definitely on the cold side. I was concerned about this because I received an alert at 11:10am that my order was ready. Only problem is, I set my time for pick up at 1130. My husband picked up the order at 1127. He brought to me about 10 mins away. By the time we all sat down to eat, it had been sitting around for 30 mins. So needless to say, I am very frustrated. Not only is our food now cold, or Luke warm at best.

With such friendly service and smiles, too! Both items cost me around $20. The horchata is okay! It is a bit more watery than I typically like it, but I did like it nonetheless. I got the chicken burrito with the wildfire sauce on the side. The chicken burrito is HUGE! And very filling, especially since it comes with rice and beans too. The chicken is very tasty and tender. I always appreciate there not being an extra charge for guacamole. The fresh veggies in the pico complement every other component well. I also loved the wildfire salsa. It is ACTUALLY spicy which I love. Actually next time I'll upgrade to the even hotter Inferno! Honestly, ~$13 for a burrito seemed like a lot to me but I think it's okay time to time especially because of the amount you get. I am struggling to finish it right now. Actually, it's so packed that I am struggling to hold it together haha. I can't speak for the ambience that well. The outside part is cute and the menu is cute. I have not been inside. Overall, both times I have been here I have received pleasant and fast service and tasty food! Can't wait to try more menu items or even just a different kind of burrito in the future!

Try the meatballs, you won't be disappointed.

    This was my second time here and if I were basing my review on just the first experience, I would…read moregive the establishment 4 stars, but this visit there was a disappointment in a dish and it was handled very poorly by the manager. I will start by saying it's a shame because this place has real potential! The crafted cocktails are the highlight as they are beautiful, original, and tasty. The food is good for the most part, but some items are overpriced. An example is the bisque cheesecake at $15 as it was on the small side, round about the size of a flan. It was presented nicely w berries, but not worth $15. I am from CA and not even there! The main issue I had was with the ricotta, pesto and tomato jam jar. This was more like pesto, with Ricotta. The Ricotta being listed first by any culinary standard should be the main feature. But the tapered dish had a small amount of ricotta at the bottom, about a fourth, then half the jar full of pesto, then top fourth of tomatoes.(see picture). I couldn't even dig down to get the ricotta and the huge amount of pesto was overpowering. I politely brought this to the waitresses attention by kindly saying I wanted to give some feedback and explained the expectation and that there was very little ricotta and hard to get to it. She handed me a spoon and a plate and I tried in front of her to get to it and said that's not working. She did say she would give the feedback to "them", but did not offer to replace it or fix it. Perhaps offering to bring more ricotta? For the rest of the evening she did not address the situation and I only ate two small bites and sent the entire dish back. At the end of the meal when I saw this was added to my bill, which I should add was $84 plus tip, over $100, w ricotta being $18 for just me not including the other two at the table, I asked if anything could be done about the ricotta dish that I did not eat. She said she would ask, but came back and said her manager said no because this was just my preference!! I felt sorry for the waitress. If the wait staff is not empowered to resolve these issues on their own then the manager should have come to the table! I said okay, paid the bill and left. They lost a repeat customer!! **Contrary to what management stated below, no accommodation was offered or made besides handing me a spoon and a plate. Also, the promise to discuss w mgmt was not followed up on until I received the bill and reminded the waitress which felt like avoidance, 1.5 hours after I sent the dish back. Perhaps there is a communication breakdown or misunderstanding, but my issue was the excessive amount of pesto (a sauce) and small amount of ricotta. Management prefers to argue and defend (without the facts) vs find a solution and humbly accept feedback. I am a manager myself in the luxury market...and customer feedback is at the heart of growth.

Excellent service, a Christmas tree upstairs, and no reservations required. Glad they were able to seat us considering we showed up without reservations. Downstairs gets quickly reserved so seats upstairs are where they push overflow patrons. Right outside Flint's doors downstairs there is a staircase which opens up to the upstairs dining area. Service was prompt, and we got our drinks by the time we had our mains decided. I got a glass of red to pair with my steak. My partner had a refreshing cocktail, but it was decent. The highlights of the night were the food. SO MUCH FOOD! And it was TERRIFIC! For starters we got the artichoke hummus. It sounded a bit weird, but all it was was regular hummus with 4 artichoke hearts that were crispy. The artichoke hearts were crisp, but moist, and I could have kept eating those all day. It comes with 1 pita bread. The server told us to order another and we did, turns out we needed it as the pita breads were quite small ($3 +). Sure only 3 bucks, but nickel and dime if you are spending $14 on an app... For mains I got the filet medium rare with a side of regular potatoes. My partner got the salmon skewer with a side of asparagus. Both the dishes were cooked perfectly and they were familiar dishes with a slightly exotic touch to it. Must be the middle eastern part of the restaurant. The steak came with a ganache or accompaniments of middle eastern sides. Can't recall what they were but they were great when I dipped my potatoes in them. It was sour, tart, acidic, kind of like middle eastern soy sauce. The server recommended it to us and we got it. The salmon skewer came with 5 decent sized pieces on it. Great for a small eater or someone who doesn't want their own meal. It too was delicious and had light touches of sauce or smoke on it. The asparagus is a favorite. It was cooked as usual, typical steak side and both me and my partner enjoyed it! For dessert, as it was my partners birthday the server comped the pound cake. While it was delicious, it was definitely the letdown of the meal. It was way too sweet including the layer of cream that it was doused with. The sweat cream wasn't necessary as the pound cake was incredibly sweet itself. Also, the pound cake wasn't soft like normal cake. It was quite dry once you peeled away the creme layer up top. I definitely should have gone with the Chocolate Ganache Tart. But their mess up worked in their favor. I'm definitely coming back for another meal at Flint!
