Keiko was our waitress and she was wonderful from the very beginning- even giving her recommendations per my husbands request, which he ordered and loved.

The service was underwhelming nothing bad but not anything that would make me praise it but the place was packed so maybe that was the reason. The Ambiance was the only good thing about the place. Regardless I made my choice and went to this place and didn't leave even when the wait went on longer than I was informed and still bought food and a drink even after seeing the price. To simplify the food was bland the service was blander and the Ambience at least made it a good conversation environment.

The interior is very unique and beautiful. It sort of reminded me of being inside a train. I don't think there was anything I tried that I didn't enjoy but the stand outs for me were the Uchi wedge and nigiri special. The flavors were unique and nothing like I've had before. Our sever was great too. She was very friendly, knowledge and attentive. Overall it was a great dining experience and I'll definitely be back again.

I go with the 2 rolls & soup for $12 always hits the spot.

We were invited to Bei Sushi by a friend of mine who set very high expectations for the place. The…read morelocation is located in a strip mall with lots of parking. We were very sceptical at first but the recommendation was spot on. We were seated right away and our server Bela approached immediately. She was very friendly and went down the menu telling us all about the specials and her recommendations. We needed no recommendations because we were there for one thing the Bei special. The special was an assortment of various rolls assembled beautifully making each piece stand out. The first bite was divine and as we worked around the ring of rolls they got better and better. The sauces brought perfect harmony and complemented the fish. The sushi was incredibly fresh not having the fishy order lingering. The rolls melted in your mouth like butter leaving you satisfied. It was so good we placed a second order. Bela stopped by frequently checking on us and also telling us about the restaurant and the area and provided a friendly atmosphere that you do not often get in northern Midwest. The Spider Roll was very good except for the sauce on top that did not suite our palate but after removing the sauce it was fantastic. The Hot Mama Roll was also amazing. The flavors went well with the Yuki Mango Nigori Sake. We also tried some of their beers and spent a while catching up. Belas service was second to none and made this reunion fabulous. The sushi at Bei was better than 95% of our sushi restaurants in my state and the price was very good. They also have a cute cat robot that delivers food! Thank you Bela we hope to come back again on our next trip to Arizona to try more food.

6/8/26 A visit to one of Scottsdale's trendy Restaurants…read more There has been allot of buzz around the Roko Akor, great marketing, Wagu dumpling, Flame seared Stakes, Seafood and Sushi offerings in an attractive Scottsdale resort area where both Arizona visitors and locals enjoy staycations for Golf and fun. It's well placed amounst popular resorts, endless choices of golf courses, high end shopping, Spas and other eateries. For our of state visitors it is located in an area that provides a great destination for conferences and vacation launching point to enjoy what Scottsdale has to offer. Parking 5/5 There is a great turn-about like drop off near the front door I took advantage of. Other semi private parking is located along the west and south in front and behind the restaurant. Ambiance 5/5++ After passing through the foyer, you're greeted by staff receptionists who quickly get your experience started. The restaurant opens up to a large open dining space that includes an impressive "baresk" wrap around serving counter which allows guests to experience and interact with the kitchen staff. Adjacent to the main dining area is a very trendy wraparound bar and a little more intimate lounge with tables for guest meetups, date nights, after business meetings or relax after playing 18 holes at a nearby course. Facing the bar is the wine cellar, a floor to ceiling long glass presentation of their collection. There is a separate special event room in the back for hosting private dinners with special event reservations. Tonight this room was reserved for Yelp's "Elite All-Stars" and hosted by the Roka-Akar and the wonderful Phoenix Yelp Community Manager (CM) Francheska J, I popped my head in to say hello to her and she was kind enough to give me some merch. Congratulations to Roka-Akor for launching this beautiful Resturant in Scottsdale and to Yelp and Francheska for putting on a great experience for your Elite All-Stars!

Fantastic staff who make you feel welcome!

Popped into this place for our last meal before leaving AZ and it did not disappoint! We were the…read morefirst people in. When we walked in it had a very fishy smell, so it kind of made us second guess our choice. But we went for it anyhow. The greeter/server was very pleasant and sat us. It was very clean inside with ample space between seat. We browsed through the menu and started with our usual edamame and pot stickers. The edamame was salted well throughout where a lot of places just put the salt on top only. We ordered a couple varieties of sake which were both good. Out of all of the things we ordered the karange skewer was just a little more oily than were use to, but still good. The spicy salmon roll had really great flavor and the lollipop roll was probably one of the better versions that we have had. The musubi was giant to say the least, it was good, but offered a bit too much rice. Overall the food and service was great and we were very happy that we ended up here!

We were nearby for a show, and decided to stop in on a Wednesday evening for a late dinner with some friends. They have a good happy hour menu, and my friends ordered off there, but I was craving sushi so I got the nigiri omakase. It came with miso soup, which I enjoyed, definitely hard to go wrong there. The sushi itself was decent, nothing crazy, but definitely better than grocery store quality. The tuna and salmon pieces were a little fishy, maybe not the freshest, but it was also quite late (~10pm) so I wasn't expecting too much. Beautifully presented, and the cuts were quite large which was nice! The food came out pretty fast, and the service was pleasant. The restaurant vibes are pretty dark, and moody. The bathroom was kind of scary personally, super dark and a little messy, so I decided to wait till I got home. Overall, a solid experience, and definitely a good choice if I am in the area.

I love this place. It overlooks Civic Center Park, which is such a beautiful setting. It's a shame…read morewe hadn't been in some time. We had just flown in from a jam-packed holiday trip to an empty refrigerator and were starving. It was a packed Friday night in Old Town Scottsdale, so my first thought was pizza--quick and easy. We passed two places with crowds of people waiting outside for tables. Sasaki is tucked away, so I was hoping we'd get lucky--and we did. We were seated right away. This place is great and definitely feels like a locals' spot. It's laid-back and reminds me of a European restaurant, with a friendly smaller staff that works the entire place. You can really take your time and enjoy the evening. We had the miso soup, cucumber salad, spring rolls, scallion pancakes, Tootie Roll, nigiri, and the Flaming Dragon. Everything tasted great and felt like a true comfort meal. Highly recommend.

Nigiri and various rolls were fantastic, served quickly, great presentation, and overall excellent quality. The service was stellar. Our waiter, John, went above and beyond to offer us extra sauces and provided helpful recommendations and "to-go" refills for our soft drinks. The atmosphere was great and the restaurant was clean and nicely appointed. Pricing was surprisingly modest in this exclusive Scottsdale locale, and they also offer an "all you can eat" special for about $39 which is an excellent value given the high food quality. Sorry no pictures this time. 10/10 - no notes. We plan to return again soon.

The chicken mole is different from our first visit. It's a grilled chicken instead of crispy chicken, which we liked more. Our server told us we had to try the sticky cake, and she was right. My girlfriend and I were left wishing we had a whole bottle of that sauce to take home. The only thing we didn't enjoy was the perfect patron margarita, tasted and looked like straight lemon juice. Service makes or breaks the dining experience. Tatiana was amazing. She recommended her favorite dishes and explained the menu in depth, something we wished for on our first visit because the menu is huge. Her personality and attention to the details made the meal for us. We will be requesting her for all of our future visits Overall, great experience and great food. We recommend Sumomaya
