Tabe-mono Sushi Shabu - Phoenix

Tasty and fresh food, the sushi is awesome and the shabu/hotpot is perfect for this chilly seasons, good and friendly service :

I loved the atmosphere. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. The food was really good. Had their fried rice, gyoza, shrimp tempura roll, and the cucumber salad. The cucumber salad was my absolute favorite. So tasty and refreshing. Will definitely dine there or even order take out.

Extremely accommodating staff even when we came in about an hour before closing time. Fish was fresh and very nicely served. Unagi was delicious and ramen was very large compared to other restaurants at similar price points. Very good value for the quality and quantity of food you get. Would recommend!

Lots of vegan options. But if you are wanting WFPB, they do a lot of frying, have processed fake meats, and don't offer brown rice option. My first bite into asparagus roll was fibrous and had to spit that out. Most of my veggie sushi did not hold shape. My partner had to ask twice for tea refill, even though the test of is got one. Our bill was delivered incorrectly, and once corrected, there was no breakdown. I asked for brown rice, and was offered a soy sheet option. I thought that would be in place of the white rice. Instead it was just in place of seaweed, which I love and had nothing to do with what I was asking for. Waiter said he thought I didn't want seaweed , but we never talked about that. Frustrating evening. Absolutely overpriced for what we got.

A spicy tuna has 8 pieces of sushi, but a regular tuna rol has 6 and are smaller. I asked why to the owner and he gave me a weird and non convincing explanation. Also a glass of wine is very poorly served. So 3 stars from me.
