My trepidations regarding raw fish in the middle of the desert vanished every time I walked through their doors. The same guys have worked the bar there for years, and I enjoy seeing them every time I make it back to Phoenix. Ayako is just about the only place I go for sushi in PHX, mainly because I've been thoroughly satisfied after every visit. Fred

But, remember, there are at least 3 Ichibans in the valley (maybe 4 or 5 by now) and not all of them are of the same quality...the one on Central Avenue in downtown Phoenix is basically fast food...the one on Rural and Southern in Tempe is sit-down-dinner-fancy, with a very nice sushi bar...the one on University offers buffet, etc. I suspect you guys are each talking about a different one...
