    Maguro, Hamachi, Unagi, Spicy Scallops

    This is a family run place where the owner greets you. The sushi was fresh with generous portions. Service was very friendly.

    Veggie rolls, cucumber/avo rolls and spicy tuna
    Amanda D.

    I've had take out from Kampai and it's always been excellent. Last night, I brought the family with me for some apps and sushi and it was really awesome! We had the gyoza for our starter and it was delicious! The service is great, as it's speedy and friendly. That's always appreciated. We shared a few different kinds of sushi for dinner and all were so fresh and perfectly made! My husband loves spicy tuna rolls and he said Kampai has the best he's tasted in Tucson! I'm already looking forward to our next visit to Kampai! Highly recommend!

    Chicken Teriyaki
    Ken R.

    A small, family run sushi place that is awesome, on the NW part of town. Yelp reviews got me there so I will return the favor after enjoying a huge sushi roll and teriyaki chicken bowl. The sushi was fresh and delicious and the chicken teriyaki was came in a gigantic portion over freshly sautéed vegetables, with a side of rice. It was all very tasty and served fast. You can watch your sushi being freshly made at the sushi counter or eat at on of the tables inside. Will certainly go back for more.

    Great food. Excellent service. Greeted by the owner who sent over a Fried Shrimp appetizer. Best sushi we ever had in Tucson area.

    Tuna roll

    By far the best sushi we have found in Tucson. Very generous portions, very very kind Staff and the prices cannot be beat. We will not go anywhere else in Tucson now that we have found this place!

    The sushi was weak. The service left a lot to be desired and the overall atmosphere was quiet and sad. Wouldn't go again.

    Leaving Tucson on the way back to Phoenix and wanted to get a quick bite. We looked for sushi and…read morefound Samuri Sombrero, a start up sushi spot in a food court in central Tucson. This was not what we expected but the staff was friendly and 1/2 patrons at the food hall were eating sushi. The stalls have big energy today and lots of patrons are searching for a seat. Why not give them a chance? The menu is fairly varied for a small pop-up with traditional and deep fried sushi rolls. The female wait staff is handing out egg drop soup samples to everyone, ever those eating pizza and gyros. Looking around, these rolls are huge. We chose the Sonoran roll with shrimp tempora, spicy tuna, spicy crab topped with seared salmon and yuzu sauce. This roll was flavorful and spicy. Another roll was the Samurai with shrimp tempora, cream cheese, avacado wrapped in soy paper deep fried and covered with spicy crab / shrimp mix baked in a spicy aioli and eel sauce. This was our favorite roll with a pop in the tempora shrimp and an uncious taste coupled with a bite. Our third and final roll was the heart attack. Another spicy roll with shrimp tempora, avacado, cream cheese topped with jalepeno, spicy crab and chef sauce. Again, another good roll and a ton of food. This food mall is in an unassuming neighborhood with a smiling server who is hustling like crazy. The sushi was good, unique and tasty. It was a huge amount of food. Give this hard working staff and chance, she is enthusiastic and working hard. To the staff at Samurai Sombrero who are working hard and obviously, not a trained sushi chef. To the public, take a chance, give Samurai Sombrero a try and judge for yourself.

    Came here for a small working/weekday lunch. The restaurant was 3/4 full and staff was on top of…read morethings. I opted for the #3 lunch special (3 pieces of sushi and a roll + miso soup) for $14. All reasonable, given that it's sushi, but I'll be honest, this still-growing-boy needed a bit more after that! The sushi itself was "ok" but the hand roll was terrific. Staff was attentive to all entrees and drinks (refilling my friend's diet coke 3 times!) and had zero problem with doing 4 separate checks too. Venue is simple and leans towards a subdued Asian-typical theme. Parking is easy and free in the shared strip-mall lot.

Feb 7 for two Hamachi Kamas ($16/each) and one Chirashi ($30) to go. These Kamas came with salad, miso soup, rice and half orange. Well salted and peppered to perfection. Chirashi was similar with abandon of fresh sashimis and rice. (see photos below) Their sushi boat ($59) is always a delightful feast for multiple people. Their servers are very friendly and attentive to all customers too. I highly recommend this restaurant to all sushi lovers. (Other Note: Ordered same dishes from Kazoku sushi on Feb 3rd because Sushi Cho was closed. Their Hamachi kamas were much smaller, charred, no garnishes and more expensive ($18). Their Chirashi ($35) sashimis are very fresh too, but not as much and not as many kinds as Sushi Cho.)

We had a table so we'd be able to watch the TVs since baseball was on. Our servers named is Cassandra and she was the best server I think we've ever had, she was so kind and helpful. She made sure to keep checking in and keeping us ordering more and more food. We asked what items she liked the most, and she was spot on for all her recommendations. We stayed I think 3 hours and just took our time trying different food items and the only one that needs work is the tempura it was undercooked and not crispy enough. My favorite item was the fried fish, and my cocktail the Pineapple Express. I had read a some reviews before going and we did hear they had a lot of bad reviews from previous staff. The restaurant has definitely turned around from what you've read, so if you had a bad first impression I would recommend going back and trying them again. The one thing I do want to throw out there is the lack of bartenders that's my only call out. My mom wanted an old fashioned and the guy who made it was a bar back and had no experience making drinks. So once you fix that then I think you'll be killing it. So until that happens my rating will be 4 stars, so that way there's a chance for improvement. Next time I'm visiting I will be coming back and hopefully Cassandra is still working, she's one of your best workers.
