I sat at the sushi bar and had sushi and a Bloody Mary. Wasn't crazy about either one. The seafood roll had tiny frozen shrimp that I left uneaten. The price was right at happy hour, but I am here at the resort for 5 days and won't be back to this dining spot.

I had breakfast here one morning while staying at the Talking Stick Resort. We were lucky enough to score an outside seat in the sun. Being from Seattle it was so nice to enjoy breakfast in 80 degree weather in March! I ordered the Belgian Waffles with fruit on top. It was good but unbelievably sweet! The eggs and bacon all came out good. But in the end the food was just ok. Nothing blew me away. Our waiter was very nice an attentive -- but the rest of the staff kind seemed like they were just droids doing work on auto.
Food was good, hard to have a conversation with my party because of the thumping bass from the constant pool party just beyond the glass patio doors. Unfortunately, the thumping music was not synced to the restaurant muzak. Waited for the check to be picked up by our server, before finally going to the hostess station to pay and sought refuge in the casino, where the slot machine noise (thankfully) drowned out the thumping bass.

We had a group of 22 and they were very accommodating. They say us in 5 minutes and that's awesome! They had to work it out because the sushi bar was closing in less than 30 minutes. I am somewhat of a sushi expert and I say their sushi was great. From the Dynamite to the Surf and Turf to the Rainbow Roll. It was delicious. And the nigiri pieces were pretty big too. I would definitely come for the sushi and the prices were not bad. Even cheaper than some rolls at other places that weren't so high class. However, I was disappointed with the fillet mignon. It felt tender but it was a little overcooked. It was more medium than medium rare. It had a dryness to it. And whatever seasoning they had on it, it didn't come out that much. Yeah.... Also tried the salmon and chicken. Decent as well. Well, if you are in the Talking Stick Resort gambling your money away, you might as well spend some of your earnings at this place. Food is decent. Sushi is great. Eat here... then go back to winning some more money. :)

Great food and value! I would not miss this spot if passing through Walking Stick for the afternoon. We were pleasantly surprised with our chicken nachos--better than most gastropub nachos! Our salads were crisp and refreshing. Highly recommend the spinach salad.

Blue Coyotes has never failed to impress me, especially with the causal and quick concept behind the cafe. The service is always quite responsive and knowledgeable about the menu. Generally when I go, I always make it a priority to order off of the sushi menu. Because my mom generally gets large dollar amount comps to the restaurant, we have a bit of money to blow so sushi is always a good choice. If you don't have restaurant comps, it is not cheap but not expensive sushi. Otherwise, everything else on their menu is very competitively priced. From their sushi menu, I have tried their salmon sashimi (which is generally pretty good- not the greatest I've had though), surf and turf roll (interesting but good), shrimp tempura roll (good), and then many others. Their sushi is always a solid choice, and usually never disappoints. Other than the sushi, I've gotten their mac and cheese which is really good, their noodle bowl (perhaps my favorite thing on the menu), the club sandwich (amazing), and some of their desserts. My favorite dessert of theirs is the brownie with ice cream on top which is really good. There are some photos I have posted of some of the meals I have had.

OK. I get it. With the diverse clientele that visit the casino, you want to offer a diverse menu. The challenge with trying to be good at everything you end up being good at nothing. I had the ribeye steak. The steak needed seasoning & was finally cooked right on the second go round. Sure, mistake are made but for the price, I expected a better cut of meat, the flavor & texture to be spot on and my guest to have a really good dinning experience. It was just OK for us. My wife said we do not have to go back. Happy wife = Happy Life!

We go here often the food is always fresh and hot also they will accommodate any special requests. Breakfast all day and night! The sushi is what i always get and is extremely fresh. They do have a sushi happy hour menu from 3-7pm...prices are about half the price. Service has always been great from the hostesses and servers. We love this place!!

Good experience. Very attentive service, and pretty damn good food. There are two shining stars of Talking Stick Resort - the hotel rooms and the Blue Coyote. I had the mushroom ravioli and a Caesar salad. I'd definitely recommend both. One pleasant surprise? The drink prices weren't out of control. I had expected them to be horribly overpriced given what I'd seen at other places inside TSR, but the large Asahi was only $7. A bargain, relatively speaking.

Super fun night. Before a show upstairs in the showroom, a couple of friends and I enjoyed dinner at the Blue Coyote Cafe. What a place! The decor is very modern and it does not detract from the food or the company. It is a little bit of a noisy place, but it adds to the excitement of the evening. Two of us had the Chicken Caesar Salad and I must say I was very happy with the salad. Not too much dressing, perfectly cooked chicken, fresh and crisp lettuce. One of the best I've had. The other one of us had steak and eggs. She was very happy with her meal, as well. I also had a Mojito. It was heavy on the alcohol (which I love), unlike most bars that water down the first drink to see if you will drink more. It was terrific. Very balanced and full of flavor. I would most definitely got back.

Best drinks and salads! Love this place, they remodeled since we were last here looks amazing! Very clean, open 24 hours, food is excellent, how can you go wrong. Manager comes in and asks how things are, and the waitress was sharpe and on the ball. No issues, just great over all service.

A group of us came here for my sister's bachelorette party. The prices were great, food was tasty, the service was excellent, and they even treated us to some complimentary desserts! We came here for breakfast the next morning with a smaller group and really enjoyed it as well. I would recommend coming to Talking Stick for a small get-together with friends, and coming to Blue Coyote Cafe is a good idea for those not wanting to spend too much money yet still have a tasty meal.

Spicy tuna roll is pretty good, big pieces of tuna, not the usual mayo mix. Nice sushi chefs, good happy hour prices, not a large sushi selection though. (They did tell me they were in the process of expanding it.)

Foods good, service isn't the fastest at the bar. Waited 10 mins before he got around to me, I wasn't in a rush but still. The snotty Scottsdale women blabbing didn't help make me any happier, but that's not the Blue Coyotes fault, that's just in the genes of any over 40 divorced woman to talk incessantly about how bitter they are.

Came here after a day at a conference the resort was hosting. Party of 6 We ordered appetizers, shrimp cocktail, boneless wings and spring rolls. All were tasty. Entrees , not so much. I ordered the chicken sandwich, which was lacking any sort of seasoning. 2 of my friends ordered the chipotle Mac and cheese, which was a HUGE portion,but not so tasty. Drinks were good though. Service was great, just wish the entrees were better

If you want to be made to feel like your bartender doesn't give a sh*t about you go to the Blue Coyote Cafe in the Talking Stick Resort and order some food to go. I was left feeling like I was a significant inconvenience to Robert. Add to that a pretty mediocre burger that in no way is actually a half pound as listed in the menu and you have a pretty solid equation for dissatisfaction. This burger was perfectly formed like the kind you can buy in a frozen sleeve from Costco. There was no real flavor and it was slapped together on a brioche bun for $10. Too much money for sub-par food. Before leaving, I had asked Robert for an extra set of plastic flatware but that request went unresponded to and he disappeared from view. So I left, wishing I hadn't tipped so quickly after receiving the bill, not knowing the service would deteriorate exponentially soon thereafter. Oh and the side salad I requested in lieu of french fries came with no salad dressing, a fact I did not become aware of until I arrived at my destination after leaving the restaurant.

I am impressed that they have such variety but do not lack on quality one ounce. No, I wasn't expecting typical shoddy casino food when I chose to eat here. You are in Scottsdale, after all. ~Fud/Drink~ I chose to eat some sushi....at a cafe..... I KNOW, RIGHT!?! I paired it along with a sake and beer. I did not bomb the sake haha, enjoyed them both separately. I was impressed with the quality once again. Both the sushi and sake were surprisingly good and tasty given where we were at. I was very impressed with the sushi and sake combo. The waitress knew the differences between the different listed sake's, how awesome is that?! Just on the sheer fact that sushi at a cafe was superb speaks volumes of this place. I picked at my sister's and fiance's plates, both their dishes were great as well. I forget what they got, but I did enjoy them, I at least remember that. ~Extras/Rating~ This is the best dining option at Talking Stick in my eyes. They have a wide variety of options, it seems as though the waitstaff care about you and have some answers, and I do not feel as though I wasted my money. It is a bit out of my normal price range, but next time I come to Talking Stick, I will definitely eat only here! They get 4 stars for service, quality and variety of food, and for being a surprisingly good option based off of initial face value.

The Holiday special was quite the deal at Blue Coyote. The Thanksgiving buffet had a line a mile long, but downstairs I got a high top table in the sushi bar and dinner was on its way about 20 minutes later. The all white turkey was real of course and it was a good portion, but that wasn't the end. The whipped potatoes, the walnut, apple stuffing and the garlicky green beans were spot on great. They also gave you a cream of potato soup (or salad) and a pumpkin torte for desert, which was homemade. The total was only $18.95. I might return for XMas if they have this deal again.

Went here with my girlfriend because Ive been craving sushi. It was located inside Casino Arizona and we were seated pretty quickly. The service was great and the food was not too bad either. Not the best sushi Ive had in the least, but it wasnt the worst. I got my sushi fix at least. Would I eat there again? Sure.

This is the only place where you can get goooood late night Asian food! So if you are out partying in Old Town Scottsdale, please sure to stop by here. Order any of the Fried Rice dishes! It's sooooo yum-yum! Another favorite is the Wanton Soup! Mmmmmm, mmmm! I promise you will love it!!! Remember this is the Casino Arizona located on Indian Bend off the 101.

Not a fan of slow service and decent food. I think the Blue Coyote refers to my mood and my belly hollowing and being hungry. They ran out of a product and they had to switch it up which is not a big deal. They made it work and that's what I appreciate. We ordered the Drums of Heaven which I heard was really good. They didn't have the right Chicken but substituted with another. I thought it was pretty good since the brown sauce is usually really salty, but this one wasn't. My sister and I each ordered a burger. Mines was well done, real.... well. It was somewhat dry in the middle plus I didn't care too much for the condiments. I actually had to add ketchup, which I generally don't when ordering a hamburgers. I would say the fries were my favorite. Steak potato fries are yummy, but my I'm sure my love handles are screaming at me! The ambience was pretty strange. It had that truck stop cafe feel with some modern pop. The Sushi bar really made a difference to the feel, but it was really awkwardly placed. I didn't think it really belonged and it should just branch out on it's own to attract more customers. Blue Coyote Cafe doesn't really scream sushi to me. The service like I said was slow, but I don't think I can blame our waitress. She did a great job of making us feel welcomed and was really polite. I think there was confusion on who was supposed to serve us in the beginning and with the missing ingredient; really slowed the serving of the food. - Enjoy!

Blue Coyote is inside of Talking Stick Resort. HH Monday through Friday 4 to 7 for selected sushi rolls and alcoholic cocktails. Get the unagi and advacado roll! So delish. :)

Had breakfast on a Wednesday morning, and found it fairly decent. This place is a "cafe" so I don't understand the reviews that complain about sushi or service at the bar, did it use to be a sushi bar? Anyway, it seems to be a Cafe now, and breakfast wasn't bad. Service was good, food was good, and prices and portions weren't bad. It's an above average cafe for breakfast. Not the best, but not bad. I really can't comment on the Sushi or service at the bar, frankly it's not the kind of place I would go for Sushi or to hang out at the bar, so if that's what you're after, you probably get what you should expect. But it's decent for breakfast.

This is solely for the Spinach Salad I ordered EVERY night for room service staying @ Talking Stick. Maybe it is because I am Canadian, but this is the BIGGEST salad of life! Ok not like Cheesecake Factory size, but a damn good portion for late night munchies for a great price! Also when my fiancee and I got in late on Saturday we came down for dinner around 11pm and ate in the dining room. I wish so badly I could rem the lady that served us, but wow was she sweet! So attentive and nice! Brought me like 5 different hot sauces when I asked if they had any sauce. She wanted to make sure I got what I was asking for. Grrr still makes me mad that I can't remember her name to acknowledge her great service! Anyways, this is a GREAT place for late time food, order in/take out/room service!

I was there Friday night to play some cards and then we got hungry. Selected asian entrees -Chow Mein with Shrimp and Green Curry with chicken. Both were delish Then I looked over to the neighboring table and saw how beautiful the steak fries looked. I asked the waitress (Lisa) about them and she told me they were seasoned fries and very good. I have never seen any large steak fries like that seasoned. Next time I will order those fries. Lisa our waitress kept the water glasses filled and served us in a timely and friendly manner. thank you Lisa! I will be back!

12/21/10 Came in w/ Mom and a coworker, and we sat at the counter. We've heard that select sushi rolls were 1/2 off during happy hour (3p-7p) Mondays through Fridays, but we saw nothing on the short menu that we wanted to try. I decided to order the BBQ bacon burger and a seaweed salad, while Mom and coworker ordered seaweed salads and a rainbow roll to share. Have you ever tried a seaweed salad before? We have, and we've had them from many Japanese/sushi restaurants, but never have we seen them served w/ carrots and cucumbers before. Until now. We've also never seen them WITHOUT sesame seeds. Let's hope that this was a fluke, or else I'd question the quality of sushi that this kitchen produces. Needless to say, the seaweed salads weren't good- I took one bite and decided to pass on the salad and waited for my burger to arrive. The other two removed the non-authentic items and ate the seaweed, even though they also didn't particularly care for them. The rainbow sushi that came after looked very dry, so I didn't even sample it. Mom and coworker both remarked that it was tasteless and dry. Thank goodness that the burger entree was delicious! I ordered it with BBQ sauce on the side, and to be honest, I didn't miss it. The patty was thick and juicy, and I appreciated the crispy thick-sliced applewood-smoked bacon. I don't know which I liked better, the burger or the seasoned wedge fries. These reminded me sour cream & onion potato chips- yum! I may go back and give happy hour sushi another try, but I wouldn't mind having more of those fries!

The two stars is because my hummus plate was really tasty. Some colleagues and I stopped in here for a snack before leaving for the airport, and I was astonished by how rude and completely overwhelmed our server seemed to be by a party of 10. Every request was met with a sigh and a look that made it seem like we were asking for the impossible. I'm amazed that we were treated so poorly...

The ONLY reason this place gets a 2 star is for the service. The food was CRAP. Overpriced and bland. I'm not usually a fan of Casinos however this was the only option that was not a buffett or $$$$ expensive restaurant, so for a quick bit, this was it. The scenery outside was of the back of a pool and a concrete wall, which didn't help the situation. Oh, and you can smoke, since it's a casino I expected this but doesn't make it a preferable experience.

While not a big fan of casinos, and I would not have gone here if not for a friend's birthday in the upper bar, the fact is we did end up here for food. I wasn't dissatisfied, the food was certainly okay and reasonably priced. The ambiance reminded me of my college cafeteria ... drab and dull and lifeless. The server was okay, sort of in the way like that rare occasion you may say that about a server at Denny's. The menu seems to change often so no use describing what I had, it's no longer on the menu. I would best describe the Blue Coyote as grab and eat and go back to gambling. Hmmm, that could very well be their plan. Yelp filtered several "reviews". I think they missed a few. Some of the ones left a smell way too much of planted reviews from staff and owner. That would be sad ... it would be better to use that energy to make the restaurant better, not to try to fix the ratings. Not saying I'm sure that's what's up, but ya know ...

Came here after a night of drinking at the club. We were all hungry and wanted something to eat. Everyone was telling us to come here because they have some pretty good food especially the fried rice. And boy were they right. You get a huge bowl of fried rice which you can share with others or take home for leftovers. I didn't really try anything else on the menu, will definitely have to come back. They also give you water with cucumber which I wasn't a big fan of it. Id rather have lemon. I also heard about the sushi and how good it is here. But it was closed by the time we got here. So I will be back for sure.

This is hidden downstairs in the back of the Casino (near the pool). The breakfast here is an excellent value if you aren't feeling the massive "Wandering Horse" buffet upstairs. They are open 24/7 and I can vouch for their 4am steak & shrimp dinners.

Great sushi for the value, especially because it was happy hour. But the bartender, Bruce, is the one who informed us about the happy hour deal, and since it was 4 minutes before the end, encouraged us to make a quick decision. Good job there!! Food good, service good. No complain.

Was at Talking Stick Casino and Resort and had some time to waste so I headed on over the Blue Coyote Café to catch some Happy Hour deals. Was greeted right away and showed to my table, I also was asked if I would like to sit outside or inside, I preferred inside. Service was great and friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. So after checking out the H H menu I went ahead and ordered an glass of sparkling wine, edamane, spicy salmon & spicy tuna rolls. Now I don't want to brag, but everything together was under 15 bucks! Hello!!! That's a great deal! The spicy salmon and spicy tuna rolls were fresh and delish! The edamane perfectly steamed and salted. It was just what I was craving and it didn't damage the pocket book. Maybe next time I'll gather some friends and HH with them.

I am impressed that they have such variety but do not lack on quality one ounce. No, I wasn't expecting typical shoddy casino food when I chose to eat here. You are in Scottsdale, after all. ~Fud/Drink~ I chose to eat some sushi....at a cafe..... I KNOW, RIGHT!?! I paired it along with a sake and beer. I did not bomb the sake haha, enjoyed them both separately. I was impressed with the quality once again. Both the sushi and sake were surprisingly good and tasty given where we were at. I was very impressed with the sushi and sake combo. The waitress knew the differences between the different listed sake's, how awesome is that?! Just on the sheer fact that sushi at a cafe was superb speaks volumes of this place. I picked at my sister's and fiance's plates, both their dishes were great as well. I forget what they got, but I did enjoy them, I at least remember that. ~Extras/Rating~ This is the best dining option at Talking Stick in my eyes. They have a wide variety of options, it seems as though the waitstaff care about you and have some answers, and I do not feel as though I wasted my money. It is a bit out of my normal price range, but next time I come to Talking Stick, I will definitely eat only here! They get 4 stars for service, quality and variety of food, and for being a surprisingly good option based off of initial face value.

The Holiday special was quite the deal at Blue Coyote. The Thanksgiving buffet had a line a mile long, but downstairs I got a high top table in the sushi bar and dinner was on its way about 20 minutes later. The all white turkey was real of course and it was a good portion, but that wasn't the end. The whipped potatoes, the walnut, apple stuffing and the garlicky green beans were spot on great. They also gave you a cream of potato soup (or salad) and a pumpkin torte for desert, which was homemade. The total was only $18.95. I might return for XMas if they have this deal again.

Went here with my girlfriend because Ive been craving sushi. It was located inside Casino Arizona and we were seated pretty quickly. The service was great and the food was not too bad either. Not the best sushi Ive had in the least, but it wasnt the worst. I got my sushi fix at least. Would I eat there again? Sure.

This is the only place where you can get goooood late night Asian food! So if you are out partying in Old Town Scottsdale, please sure to stop by here. Order any of the Fried Rice dishes! It's sooooo yum-yum! Another favorite is the Wanton Soup! Mmmmmm, mmmm! I promise you will love it!!! Remember this is the Casino Arizona located on Indian Bend off the 101.

Not a fan of slow service and decent food. I think the Blue Coyote refers to my mood and my belly hollowing and being hungry. They ran out of a product and they had to switch it up which is not a big deal. They made it work and that's what I appreciate. We ordered the Drums of Heaven which I heard was really good. They didn't have the right Chicken but substituted with another. I thought it was pretty good since the brown sauce is usually really salty, but this one wasn't. My sister and I each ordered a burger. Mines was well done, real.... well. It was somewhat dry in the middle plus I didn't care too much for the condiments. I actually had to add ketchup, which I generally don't when ordering a hamburgers. I would say the fries were my favorite. Steak potato fries are yummy, but my I'm sure my love handles are screaming at me! The ambience was pretty strange. It had that truck stop cafe feel with some modern pop. The Sushi bar really made a difference to the feel, but it was really awkwardly placed. I didn't think it really belonged and it should just branch out on it's own to attract more customers. Blue Coyote Cafe doesn't really scream sushi to me. The service like I said was slow, but I don't think I can blame our waitress. She did a great job of making us feel welcomed and was really polite. I think there was confusion on who was supposed to serve us in the beginning and with the missing ingredient; really slowed the serving of the food. - Enjoy!

Blue Coyote is inside of Talking Stick Resort. HH Monday through Friday 4 to 7 for selected sushi rolls and alcoholic cocktails. Get the unagi and advacado roll! So delish. :)

Had breakfast on a Wednesday morning, and found it fairly decent. This place is a "cafe" so I don't understand the reviews that complain about sushi or service at the bar, did it use to be a sushi bar? Anyway, it seems to be a Cafe now, and breakfast wasn't bad. Service was good, food was good, and prices and portions weren't bad. It's an above average cafe for breakfast. Not the best, but not bad. I really can't comment on the Sushi or service at the bar, frankly it's not the kind of place I would go for Sushi or to hang out at the bar, so if that's what you're after, you probably get what you should expect. But it's decent for breakfast.

This is solely for the Spinach Salad I ordered EVERY night for room service staying @ Talking Stick. Maybe it is because I am Canadian, but this is the BIGGEST salad of life! Ok not like Cheesecake Factory size, but a damn good portion for late night munchies for a great price! Also when my fiancee and I got in late on Saturday we came down for dinner around 11pm and ate in the dining room. I wish so badly I could rem the lady that served us, but wow was she sweet! So attentive and nice! Brought me like 5 different hot sauces when I asked if they had any sauce. She wanted to make sure I got what I was asking for. Grrr still makes me mad that I can't remember her name to acknowledge her great service! Anyways, this is a GREAT place for late time food, order in/take out/room service!

I was there Friday night to play some cards and then we got hungry. Selected asian entrees -Chow Mein with Shrimp and Green Curry with chicken. Both were delish Then I looked over to the neighboring table and saw how beautiful the steak fries looked. I asked the waitress (Lisa) about them and she told me they were seasoned fries and very good. I have never seen any large steak fries like that seasoned. Next time I will order those fries. Lisa our waitress kept the water glasses filled and served us in a timely and friendly manner. thank you Lisa! I will be back!

12/21/10 Came in w/ Mom and a coworker, and we sat at the counter. We've heard that select sushi rolls were 1/2 off during happy hour (3p-7p) Mondays through Fridays, but we saw nothing on the short menu that we wanted to try. I decided to order the BBQ bacon burger and a seaweed salad, while Mom and coworker ordered seaweed salads and a rainbow roll to share. Have you ever tried a seaweed salad before? We have, and we've had them from many Japanese/sushi restaurants, but never have we seen them served w/ carrots and cucumbers before. Until now. We've also never seen them WITHOUT sesame seeds. Let's hope that this was a fluke, or else I'd question the quality of sushi that this kitchen produces. Needless to say, the seaweed salads weren't good- I took one bite and decided to pass on the salad and waited for my burger to arrive. The other two removed the non-authentic items and ate the seaweed, even though they also didn't particularly care for them. The rainbow sushi that came after looked very dry, so I didn't even sample it. Mom and coworker both remarked that it was tasteless and dry. Thank goodness that the burger entree was delicious! I ordered it with BBQ sauce on the side, and to be honest, I didn't miss it. The patty was thick and juicy, and I appreciated the crispy thick-sliced applewood-smoked bacon. I don't know which I liked better, the burger or the seasoned wedge fries. These reminded me sour cream & onion potato chips- yum! I may go back and give happy hour sushi another try, but I wouldn't mind having more of those fries!

The two stars is because my hummus plate was really tasty. Some colleagues and I stopped in here for a snack before leaving for the airport, and I was astonished by how rude and completely overwhelmed our server seemed to be by a party of 10. Every request was met with a sigh and a look that made it seem like we were asking for the impossible. I'm amazed that we were treated so poorly...

Love the Fajita Nachos! Great combination of vegetables, chicken and cheese. The guacamole and salsa is yummy too!!

The ONLY reason this place gets a 2 star is for the service. The food was CRAP. Overpriced and bland. I'm not usually a fan of Casinos however this was the only option that was not a buffett or $$$$ expensive restaurant, so for a quick bit, this was it. The scenery outside was of the back of a pool and a concrete wall, which didn't help the situation. Oh, and you can smoke, since it's a casino I expected this but doesn't make it a preferable experience.

While not a big fan of casinos, and I would not have gone here if not for a friend's birthday in the upper bar, the fact is we did end up here for food. I wasn't dissatisfied, the food was certainly okay and reasonably priced. The ambiance reminded me of my college cafeteria ... drab and dull and lifeless. The server was okay, sort of in the way like that rare occasion you may say that about a server at Denny's. The menu seems to change often so no use describing what I had, it's no longer on the menu. I would best describe the Blue Coyote as grab and eat and go back to gambling. Hmmm, that could very well be their plan. Yelp filtered several "reviews". I think they missed a few. Some of the ones left a smell way too much of planted reviews from staff and owner. That would be sad ... it would be better to use that energy to make the restaurant better, not to try to fix the ratings. Not saying I'm sure that's what's up, but ya know ...

Came here after a night of drinking at the club. We were all hungry and wanted something to eat. Everyone was telling us to come here because they have some pretty good food especially the fried rice. And boy were they right. You get a huge bowl of fried rice which you can share with others or take home for leftovers. I didn't really try anything else on the menu, will definitely have to come back. They also give you water with cucumber which I wasn't a big fan of it. Id rather have lemon. I also heard about the sushi and how good it is here. But it was closed by the time we got here. So I will be back for sure.

This is hidden downstairs in the back of the Casino (near the pool). The breakfast here is an excellent value if you aren't feeling the massive "Wandering Horse" buffet upstairs. They are open 24/7 and I can vouch for their 4am steak & shrimp dinners.

not the best place at talking stick resort. Often its hard to get the bartenders attention. however, good place to get a quick drink.
(3)Gilles K.
Great sushi for the value, especially because it was happy hour. But the bartender, Bruce, is the one who informed us about the happy hour deal, and since it was 4 minutes before the end, encouraged us to make a quick decision. Good job there!! Food good, service good. No complain.
