Highlights

Four new restaurants opened in Scottsdale in January 2026, led by The Guest House, a high-end steakhouse that took over the room at Scottsdale Quarter previously occupied by Etta. According to Phoenix Magazine, The Guest House — which also has locations in Austin and Las Vegas — serves tableside Wagyu and a 36 oz. prime tomahawk alongside a seafood selection, at 15301 N. Scottsdale Rd.

Also new to Scottsdale is Jing, an upscale Asian concept known for sushi, steak and seafood with existing outlets in Aspen, Denver and Las Vegas. The Scottsdale opening at 10605 N. Scottsdale Rd. marks the brand's first Arizona location, as Phoenix Magazine reported.

At the resort tier, Desert Orchard opened inside Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North, at 10600 E. Crescent Moon Dr. The new eatery serves coffee and tea, specialty beverages, fresh sandwiches and salads, ice cream, and house-baked pastries and desserts, according to Phoenix Magazine.

Rounding out the Scottsdale openings, FOUR Desserts launched at 8930 N. 90th St. The bakery is operated by Michael and Priscilla Sweet, owners of Silver Rose Bakery in Phoenix, and features made-to-order cannoli, cheesecakes, puffs and tarts. The shop offers an option to pay in Bitcoin, Phoenix Magazine noted.

Two additional Scottsdale openings round out the month's activity. Ni Hao Bao Dumpling House, serving fresh dumplings, bao and bowls, opened at 9301 E. Shea Blvd. The concept comes from P.F. Chang's veteran Darrell Ngo and business partner Arin Finger, described by Phoenix Magazine as Arizona natives who have been friends since elementary school. Pistoleros Parrilla, a Mexican steakhouse led by chef Marco Garcia and Luis Ortiz, opened in Old Town Scottsdale at 4333 N. Civic Center Plaza, offering mesquite-grilled steaks, aperitivos, ensaladas and mariscos. La La Land Kind Café, a Los Angeles-based coffee brand known for its yellow cups, also opened its first Arizona location at 15215 N. Kierland Blvd., serving coffee, tea, signature toasts, egg bites and pastries.

The January openings were compiled by Phoenix Magazine writer Marilyn Hawkes, who tracked 20 openings across the Valley for the month.
