I'm with you on that one as well Trevor. Mostly only traditional stuff for me as well. Thanks for the info on Sakana's. I've actually been to their location in Chandler (I live in Gilbert). Good stuff
There's a very traditional sushi place on the border of Chandler/Gilbert called Taiko's. Traditional Japanese dinners and traditional style sushi. Great stuff! We took my mother in law, who is from Kyushu, there and she loved it.
