This place blows.  The only reason I have gone is to meet friends.  They happen to know the owner, who is a woman who works there, and eventually one of our friends started working there.  I would never actually order sushi at a place like this, if you do then it is just your fault for the result.  It is not a restaurant, it is a bar folks.  I have snagged a piece of a roll or two off a friends plate and I can say that those little rolls at the grocery store are much better.  I would really like to emphasize that if you are going to a bar for sushi, you get what you deserve.\n\nI never order anything fancy, usually a beer or some gin but damn they are slow as hell getting the order done.  There have never been more than 10 people there (even on a Saturday at midnight), yet they are so slow you would think they were swamped.  Hell, for the group I was with being on speaking terms and official regulars you would think we could get some damn service.  Guess not.  \n\nThis place has been dead every time I go.  You would think the club next door with a line would give them some overflow.  Parking is a disaster because valet takes everything.  In fact, the last time I tried to valet they told me they were full, but took the car behind me!  Apparently my Honda is not baller enough for them.  I wound up finding a free spot very close anyway, but that area is such a nightmare.  I will never suggest anyone go to Pearl because there really isn't anything positive about the experience.  \n\nbad service, bad food, bad parking, Scottsdale pricing = no bueno!
