Description

Chef Nobuo Fukuda collected a Best New Chef nod from Food + Wine and a James Beard Award at his late restaurant Sea Saw before opening this chic but unpretentious contemporary izakaya in a gorgeously renovated historic bungalow (circa 1899), right in the midst of Heritage Square. Stop by for a Japanese microbrew or craft cocktail at the bar or in the lounge, or make a night out of it with sharable small plates that range from the homey (okonomiyaki, steamed short rib buns) to the haute (sashimi bites like grapefruit and hamachi with avocado and truffle oil).

  • 2011 | Best Japanese Restaurant

    James Beard Award-winning chef Nobuo Fukuda proves that delicious Japanese cuisine is eagerly awaiting your hungry mouths right here in the Valley. Teahouse by day and self-described funky izakaya (drinking place) by night, Nobuo at Teeter House transports you to the Land of the Rising Sun with elevated versions of Japanese snack foods such as pork belly buns and panko-fried soft-shell crab sandwiches. The menu is constantly evolving and ready to lead your taste buds on a journey to the Far... More »

  • 2010 | Best Sign of Urban Renewal

    As of press time, James Beard Award-winning chef Nobuo Fukuda's brand-new izakaya (Japanese-style tavern) is the hot ticket in the Phoenix culinary scene, set inside a beautifully renovated historic bungalow built in 1899. As if Fukuda's reputation as the Valley's premier Japanese chef weren't enough of a draw (his cult of devotees remains strong from his days at the now-defunct Sea Saw), he's created a cozy, welcoming space that happens to be right across from another James Beard winner's...

  • 2010 | Hero Worship

    See: a video interview with Nobuo Fukuda.Four years ago -- fresh out of college -- I left the United States and landed on a small island south of Osaka, Japan, where I spent the better part of a year teaching English to children who will grow up to be fishermen, hanging out at way too many Japanese rock shows and eating fabulously good sushi. It was the best time of my life, but it left me with some lingering questions. Questions like what element in human nature drives us to... More »

    In an old house across the alley from Pizzeria Bianco, this is the center of good food in Arizona. There are no two finer restaurants so close in the entire state. On the lunch menu my tonkatsu sandwich was a joyous surprise - tender pork cutlet with traditional tonkatsu sauce and a hint of hot mustard on toasted bread. The soft shell crab sandwich lacked spark but it was fresh and tasty nonetheless. Japanese fries were well cooked and salted just right. For dinner we had many items from the cold and warm menus - and I'd like to vote for the oyster and sea urchin entree as one of the finest I've had anywhere including Japan. Highly recommended.
