The "Sushi Verdict" is in!

What can I say, it was a dirty job with some very "fishy" characters, but I have reached a decision and let there be no doubt that "pound for pound and roll for roll", Sushi Creek is the Valleys best overall sushi restaurant! I give it 2 thumbs up, 5 stars, 2 snaps up in a circle, etc. Make no mistake, Sushi Creek delivers!!

Does it have the glitz and glam of a Pure in Scottsdale or the trendiness of a Mill Ave Ra? No it does not. What it does offer is great service, great sushi, and great prices.

I am reminded of the old adage, "you get what you pay for" and how it has bit me in the toosh on more than one occasion. However, with Sushi Creek, you get MORE than what you paid for.

The Sashimi and Sushi items both offer a very generous cut, the Softshell Crab is without question the best in the area. In my opinion the key to the Softshell Crab is to keep it fairly simple, dredge it in a lightly seasoned flower, toss it on the grill and serve when ready. It always irritates me when a restaurant tries to glam up the entree's and apps too much. Enhance, don't change the flavor and always let a quality fish or shellfish stand on it's own.

The various signature and traditional rolls did not disappoint as the creativity of the Sushi Creek team really shines through. The French Kiss and Dynamite are just 2 of the very wonderful offerings, I would mention more, but feel you need to get out there and find out for yourself.

If you are looking for fresh sushi with great service, hop on the 202 or head south on Ellsworth.

Meet the team.

A few questions.

Is it really so hard to be nice to someone for no other reason than to simply be nice?

Why is it so important to be the center of attention? What are you seeking? What are you lacking?

Does it make you feel good to point out someone elses failure or imperfection?

For me, I prefer to be nice. It feels really good.
