The 38 Best Restaurants in Phoenix | Eater Phoenix

"James Beard award winner Nobuo Fukuda is back in action at this dimly lit bar and restaurant, which dispenses creative cocktails and eclectic small bites, founded upon Japanese culinary traditions. Try affordable nibbles (prices range from $10-$20) such as panko-fried tofu with green papaya curry; soft shell crab and rice noodle; and the best sunomono on the planet. His signature sashimi is here, and unforgettable omakase, priced at $200 per person, is available with advanced notice. Best for: Michelin-level cooking inside a retro motel — basically, Phoenix doing its thing." - McConnell Quinn
