Oh, Shea, can you see the sushi? Some of the best in the Valley, in fact, at SonS. Since 1994, this pleasant, slightly upscale establishment in the Scottsdale Promenade has produced consistently fresh and perfectly crafted nigiri, maki and sashimi. The yellowtail is divine, and the salmon crunchy roll will have you craving a second round as soon as you finish it.

So what makes a sushi chef a chef? A few minutes watching the professionals at Sushi on Shea is all the answer you need. It's art in motion, watching these guys craft a simple California roll. Ask them to surprise you, then watch them let loose on their own artistic creations, as they flash knives,... More »
The Valley's restaurants felt ripples from the aftermath of last week's terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. During the days following the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, many restaurants closed, either for... More »
