Otaku - Chandler

It has been a while since we were last in, and it appears management has changed. The only differences I noted were more casually dressed employees, a smaller, less-formal menu (a paper), and purple rice. Service and food were really good. The rice in all the sushi rolls we tried (veggie, spicy tuna, crazy, Arizona, and dynamite) was purple, which was unusual but tasted the same. We went on a Saturday night and we're seated right away. There is a nice outdoor seating area, a bar and a sushi bar in addition to the regular dining area.

New management, food is vastly improved. Service is OK, but please clean the tables better. The sushi came out and looked a little odd. They use black rice that looks purple. I was a bit concerned, but all my concerns washed away with the first bite. The rolls and sushi TASTE GREAT and come in decent portions. Wait staff were good, but the kitchen took awhile to get our order done. Lost a star because of a sticky table. Need to wipe the tables clean and not just smear it around. Nice atmosphere and the patio is nice when the weather is nice.

Sexy Jun and his staff provide an exceptionally entertaining experience. Every moment, every dish, and every aspect of the service was delivered with enthusiasm. I highly recommend visiting this place. I will definitely return!

It had been a while since our last visit, and it seems there has been a change in management. The only noticeable differences were that the staff dressed more casually, the menu was smaller and less formal (now on paper), and there was the addition of purple rice. Both the service and food were quite good. All the sushi rolls we tried—veggie, spicy tuna, crazy, Arizona, and dynamite—featured purple rice, which was unusual but didn't affect the flavor. We went on a Saturday night and were seated right away. The restaurant has a nice outdoor seating area, along with a bar and a sushi bar, in addition to the main dining area.

The restaurant is under new management, and I must say, the food has significantly improved. The service is decent, but they really need to do a better job of cleaning the tables. When the sushi was served, I noticed it looked a bit unusual; they use black rice that has a purple hue, which made me a little worried. However, all my doubts disappeared after the first bite—the rolls and sushi taste fantastic and are served in generous portions. The waitstaff was attentive, but it did take the kitchen a while to prepare our order. I deducted a star because the table was sticky; they should focus on truly cleaning the tables instead of just spreading the mess around. Overall, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the patio is a lovely spot to enjoy on nice days.
