Uchi Scottsdale - Review - Historic Old Town - Scottsdale - The Infatuation

"Walking into this upscale sushi spot, with locations in some of the most coveted zip codes around the country, feels like stepping into the home of someone who’s built a personality around Japandi—the only thing missing is your host handing you some slippers. While the back patio is a solid choice when Scottsdale’s weather is doing its usual perfect thing, the sushi bar is where to be. It’ll have you planning your next reservation before you finish your sake cocktail. Chefs shout out orders in chorus, slice sashimi like it’s the Olympics, and might even play 21 questions if your dinner conversation hits an awkward pause. Get the soft-shell maki, crispy tofu, whatever seasonal dish catches your eye, and end with hot tea and banana cake. For a splurge, their 10-course omakase, roughly $150 per person, takes the pressure off ordering a la carte from their literal book of a menu." - Lauren Topor
