There were still about 4 groups still in the restaurant, but was mainly open. I could see this place getting busy during the weekends though, so recommend a res if you're here during peak hours. We started with cold sake and a couple of cocktails. Super cute and yummy drinks, creative and complimented the overall theme. The Asahi beer was huge and came with an ice cold glass, perfect! We got the orange chicken and drunken noodles with added chicken breast. The food was fresh and tasty. I liked that the orange chicken came with rice, and was not overly breaded. The drunken noodles were pretty salty but overall good. These two entrees were enough for two people to take a little bit of leftovers home. Recommend for a nice date night or if looking for some Asian fusion. We'll be back!

The cucumber salad wasn't your run of the mill sushi spot salad, the smoked trout dip was unique and rich.

Can't recommend this place enough.

The ramen broth tasted authentic and rich, not artificial like you find at some places. The pork in the ramen was incredibly tender, flavorful, and practically melted in my mouth. I also ordered the spicy salmon rolls, and they were outstanding--fresh, delicious, and packed with flavor. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience even better. The small atmosphere and being able to see the staff making your dishes as well also adds to a great vibe. If you're looking for authentic ramen and great sushi in Phoenix, I highly recommend giving Cherry Blossom Noodle Cafe a try. I'll definitely be coming back!

Not the best experience. The restaurant closes at 10pm. But they kicked us out at 9:30! Really…read morerude and inappropriate on the wait staff. I've served in restaurants for 20 years, at elite places such as, Hillstone along with Chelsea's Kitchen and Buck and Rider, and I am appalled by the behavior of the staff tonight. I discourage anyone from coming into this place. The service is underrated. And as a paying customer, enjoying a meal with a friend, I am very disturbed that they would kick us out before closing time. This lady walks around and says "closed, closed" and starts turning off all the lights. I said "Oh the website says you close at 10pm" and the lady with the top knot bun and glasses said "yeah, but no one is in here so we are closed." Ummm we were in there. Poor hospitality on their part. Not worth it. Go somewhere else. Sushi Michi on 16th st & Bethany, or Full Moon Izakaya Sushi and Ramen, is way better and they don't close earlier because they didn't have any walkins at the point, nor do they kick people out before closing time. Also when we left a car had just pulled up to grab dinner. Turning away customers is poor ethics on behalf of Cherry Blossom. No wonder no one goes here and everything is so out dated. ALSO I had asked for a wine sample to decide which wine I wanted and our waitress said "we don't do samples". Okay well every other restaurant I've been to and worked at has samples. What a way to miss a sale. Wine was $15 a glass. Wouldn't you want that to improve your check average? These people are turning away money. So sad

I lived in Hawaii and know good Polynesian cuisine but Jeff and the Island Loco crew bring the islands here...for real. Some tips: The fusion tacos are awesome -- the corn and black bean salsa is to die for. The kalua pork is great, but my favorite was a simple teriyaki chicken bowl with a side of mac salad. But if you really want the money dish, be sure to get whatever entree you like with a side salad and the extraordinary sesame dressing Jeff makes. Wow. So much umami! I'm a customer for life if he ever bottles and sells that dressing. Hey, Jeff...get going on that and you'll be rolling in cash!

The decor is super adorable, but honestly, the food is what really stood out. We ordered the Tom Kha, Pad Thai, and combination fried rice, and everything was so good. The Pad Thai had amazing flavor. We got everything at a medium spice level, which was perfect for me. I also loved that they let you choose from mild all the way up to extra Thai hot...my fiancé loves super spicy food, so that was a big plus since not every place offers that. We ate everything between the two of us. That's how good it was. The service was also great. He kept checking in on us without being over the top, which I appreciated.

I ordered the Larb Salad and Beef Stew Soup Noodles. The menu says the Larb Salad is made with…read moreground meat and roasted rice, with a choice of chicken or pork. When my salad arrived, I didn't see any roasted rice, so I asked the server. He had to go back to the kitchen to ask the chef and eventually brought me a small dish of powder, saying it was roasted rice powder. If that's what is actually served, the menu should clearly say "roasted rice powder" rather than "roasted rice." The Beef Stew Soup Noodles also had very little broth. I mentioned this to another waitress, who said she would ask the kitchen to bring me more broth. She never came back with it and didn't follow up until she brought the check. Then I noticed I had been overcharged. The Larb Salad was listed on the menu at $14.95, but I was charged $17.95. When I questioned the waiter, he said it was because I chose chicken and that chicken was the main protein. But I did not add extra chicken--I simply chose chicken as my protein, exactly as the menu allowed. I asked to speak with the manager, and eventually the charge was corrected. However, the waiter brought me the new receipt without any apology or acknowledgment of the mistake. Overall, I was disappointed with the lack of attention to detail and customer service. My advice: Read the menu carefully, and most importantly, check your receipt before you pay.

We shifted gears and went next door to Sake Haus, and I'm so glad we did! Everything was spectacular! First of all--BEST edamame I've ever had! That tallow really adds a richness! And the gyoza had just the right amount of kick to them. We had both the hamachi crudo and the halibut crudo. They were both delicious, but the hamachi was the standout. Hamachi is usually a little too fishy for me, but this just melted in my mouth and left me wanting more. We also had one of the specials, the 808 roll. It was topped with poke, and we would not let them take the plate until we'd scooped up every little morsel! Cocktails and service were excellent as well. We definitely ended up with a pricier meal than what we'd planned next door, but it was totally worth it! I wish I'd taken pics of the beautifully plated dishes, but I was too just eating!

I was dying for sushi and this place looked promising. A few things to preface this review: 1) I…read morelove sushi and I typically steer clear of sushi in the desert for obvious reasons. 2) I lean towards sashimi and high quality fish. The service- pretty poor. I was sat in the bar at the back but I basically sat there for a good 5 minutes and nothing. I went back up front and asked to sit at the bar and it was still pretty inattentive, especially considering no one else was even seated in the front room at the time. Never got my water refilled, had to flag them down to put in more food, that sorta thing. The vibes- thought the bar was pretty lit and is prob pretty fun during HH. The food- overpriced for what you get and portion size while the fish and flavors being a smidge above average. I left still hungry after getting the gold omakase, bad and buri roll, and hamachi crudo. The hamachi was the best part of the meal but I'd still expect at least 5 pieces for the price. Anyways, this spot will hit the spot if you have a sushi craving. I can't vouch for the drinks but I assume it more than checks the box in that regard judging by the menu, selection, and vibe. But know that you're in for some trade offs imo.

They always come filled all the way to the top that they spill a little bit when you have to put the straws in. To me, it's always worth it to up size it. The staff are always nice and helpful. They're also patient when you have questions or trying to decide what to order. The place doesn't have a big sitting area. Most people don't sit in. Maybe because they also go next door for the pho or like me, just order out.
