The Asian-inspired steakhouse brought fire dancers, massive curved LED screens and $200 steaks to The Watermark on Scottsdale Road.<\/p>\n<p>But now, despite the monstrously expensive buildout, the company has remodeled the space. The parent company, Kaos Hospitality, has divided a portion of the restaurant to create a new concept called <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ninesushi.com\/\">IX Sushi. <\/a>The new eatery is scheduled to open on Feb. 9.<\/p>\n<p>Three Thirty Three and IX Sushi reside under one roof, but according to a news release, \u201cthey are entirely independent restaurants, offering distinct menus that do not cross over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At IX Sushi, the kitchen and counter will focus on elevated seafood options with sashimi, hand rolls and cut rolls. There will also be a selection of appetizers and entrees, including spicy salmon crispy rice, Wagyu and caviar toast and a bluefin tuna bowl.<\/p>\n<p>A variety of cocktails will also be on offer to pair with the bites, with options such as the Here Comes the Sun, made with orange-infused Etisu gin and the Sakura Bomb made with sake, lychee, yuzu and St. Germain.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"564\" width=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Kaos-212-Shabu-Shabu.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40611450\"  \/>212\u00b0 Shabu Shabu is also slated to open at The Watermark in Tempe. <\/p>\n<p>Tempe takeover <\/p>\n<p>The reconfiguration of the Three Thirty Three space and addition of IX Sushi come amid other expansion plans for Kaos Hospitality. <\/p>\n<p>In October 2025, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixnewtimes.com\/food-drink\/team-behind-333-tempe-to-open-second-waterfront-restaurant-40611448\/\">Kaos announced another restaurant <\/a>coming to The Watermark called <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.212shabu.com\/\">212\u00b0 Shabu Shabu<\/a>.

That restaurant was originally scheduled to open in December, but has yet to welcome its first customers.<\/p>\n<p>The company is also working on a fourth new spot, called Wood and Water. Joining its sibling restaurants along Tempe Town Lake at The Watermark, this new seafood restaurant will also feature an Asian-inspired menu.
