From Fairmont Scottsdale Best Nearby Asian (Restaurants) (10 Overall Closest) Metro: Scottsdale, AZ Flo's Chinese Restaurant (Restaurants - Asian) 15027 N Thompson Peak Pkwy, Scottsdale  AZ  85260 • 480-661-8883 Distance: ~2.78 mi         Description: NORTH SCOTTSDALE. Fresh, innovative takes on the same old, same old Chinese favorites make Flo's a welcome addition to the Scottsdale dining scene. Ordering Flo's twist on chips and salsa – wontons and dipping sauce – is practically mandatory. Chicken, beef, pork, and fish comprise the greater part of the menu, but preparations are new and inventive. Spicy cinnamon shrimp, tomato beef, and jalapeno pork and bacon rattle your preconceptions about standard Chinese food. And while not claiming to be an authentic Asian delicacy, chocolate cheesecake is a rich, satisfying ending to your meal.

With an extensive menu covering the spectrum of Japanese cuisine, Sushi on Shea has become a Scottsdale favorite. Albacore tataki, salmon, and yellowtail are an introduction to the bounty, but if you find it hard to make up your mind, try the bento box, a sampler of sorts. Soup, noodle dishes, tempura, and teriyaki options are available for those who aren't keen on the delights of raw fish. The compelling decor boasts seawater aquariums and sets a fashionable scene.
