We celebrated my boyfriend's co-worker's birthday and we had such a great time! The entertainment was great - our chef was comical and professional - had us laughing a lot! Our food was really delicious! Mr. An came to our table and took a picture with all of us and was very friendly! We had Tappayaki and it was so delicious and filling portions! It's funny, we were among 10 other parties celebrating a birthday. We ordered the sake sampler and did sake bombs - so fun! It was such a fantastic evening of laughter, entertainment, excellent food and amazing service! read more

Blonde waitress gave horrible service to me and birthday group of 20. She came to our table once, and didn't give refill on waters. Not to mention she missed 3 separate meals that were ordered. We were forced to wait 30 minutes for our checks and another 15 for her return our cards. Horrible service, food was below average. read more

Great customer service, food was super tasty there was plenty of it! We will be back!

These reviews sound like salty rich people who have too much time on their hands. Mr. An's is a very popular restaurant for a reason, so wait times will be longer. We had a great experience and the sushi was delicious! Highly recommend the Troy roll. read more

Left me on hold for 30 mins. Absolutely ridiculous. I love this place but this is unacceptable. Answer your phones. It's 3pm

Chicken was dry and chewy, noodles we not cooked all the way, the cook was not entertaining, very little portions when you are not served first. To expensive!! If I can give this place a zero I would. Will not go back!!! read more

We had the worst experience ever. Where do I even start. First we waited 10min for someone get take are drink order that's because the hostess told us they forgot about are whole table. Then we someone finally showed up they took are order. Then 10min later someone else showed up and had to re take are order because they lost are order. Then when are food finally cane out we ate it. Then the waiter that was helping our waiter told us She gave us the wrong food then brought our original order out. Then the Manager Cody came out and told us that we had to pay for the waiters mistake for bringing us the wrong food. so we had to pay for more food that we didn't even order. Let's just say this was the worst service ever. And the manager was horrible. read more

Very satisfied with their service. Came here for my buddy's birthday and it was a blast. Joshua the Teppan did a great job. You guys should request for him every time you come here. read more

Mr. An's Teppan Steak & Seafood Sushi Bar - Joshua is THE BEST. You guys should request for him to be your Teppan chef! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Ambitious upscale Japanese restaurant? I think not. Although Mr. An's is only listed as a $$ kind of place on yelp but it could get very pricey when they are skimping on the food portions. A couple I sat with ordered at least 5-6 different dishes before they asked for their check. I was part of a party of ~30 people. We had our private room to ourselves but overall the food and service were definitely below average. The sashimi slices are improperly thin. The rolls are unacceptably small and are not well made. The rice and the seaweed fall apart when grabbed with chopsticks. I had one of their claim-to-be specialty rolls, that was not at all special. Fried battered soft shell crab rolled in flavorless rice and topped with paper-thin slices of white tuna. It sure did sound delicious on the menu but it looked undesirable once the plate was placed in front of me. The freshness of white tuna was a bit questionable and the roll tasted average at best. The teppanyaki, on the other hand, was entertaining but was not any different than any teppanyaki houses I have been to - the usual onion volcano, the corny jokes, the shrimp toss and etc. I was starving by the time my food arrived. It took 30-45 minutes to get my sushi and of course they did mess it up the first time. The service here is horrendous. Our waitress was just plain rude. One person on our table asked our waitress if she could come back to get his order because he was not ready, she bluntly replied "no" without offering any alternatives. The waitress pressured a customer, whom is paying her 18% of his bill, to make his decision on a spot just for her own convenience' sake. I for one cannot stand how waiters/waitresses treat their customers in big parties rudely when they are guaranteed to be given 18% gratuity, which gives them no motivation to do their jobs. Overall, my experience at Mr. An was a big disappointment. Nothing here is worth coming for - neither food nor service. read more

Mr An's is certainly a fun and interesting place. There's always a celebration going on inside! Fire, singing, clapping, and copious amount of food and drink being consumed. This was my first time, but I had been to Sakura many times (when An owned it) and it was almost the same. I was there to celebrate a birthday and entertaining it was! We shared several sushi rolls and some Nigiri sushi and then had the Teppanyaki dinner. The sushi isn't the best I've ever had, but it was definitely tasty and fresh. The Teppan show is always a blast. I ordered the chicken & shrimp combo with fried rice, and it was waaaay too much food. WOW! I forgot how much food they serve. Fried rice is always worth all the calories and carbs. Yum! Pair that wish and ice cold Sapporo and you've got the perfect match. There were six of us and we each ordered our own combos...talk about gluttony. I rarely indulge in this quantity of food, but it was all worth it! I'd come back here for another birthday celebration. read more

Very fun experience! Our server was JJ and he was on top of it, funny, and made the experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very loud and exciting. There are people laughing constantly from the teppan chefs and servers. I recommend this place for a great meal and night out. Thanks Mr. Ans & JJ!! Also, our teppan chef was Mike and he was amazing & full of jokes. Thank you! read more

I visited Mr An's for the teppanyaki and came away disappointed. My disappointment stems primarily from the disconnect between cost and quality. We spent $125 on dinner for three but the food was boring and, with one notable exception, just okay or even bad. The teppan show was certainly fun, but I felt like I was eating an $8 plate of food and spending $20 for the show. Our teppanyaki chef was most certainly a native but put on a ridiculously false Japanese accent for the duration of his time with us. He was fun, and entertaining, but seeing him perform the same four tricks and tell the same corny jokes as all of the other chefs made me wonder what is going on in the world of teppanyaki today. Are there no visionaries? If there are, they aren't at Mr An's. The teppan food was generally boring. The fried rice was peppered with vegetables that clearly came frozen in a bag and the fried noodles were soggy and flavored solely with soy sauce. The appetizer soup was basically reconstituted beef bouillon with some mushroom slices floating in it. The shrimp and scallops were horribly overcooked (tough shrimp and scallops are a sin). The steak, chicken, and veggies were fine, but when weighed against the rest the final result was a flop. The best thing about our visit was the calamari appetizer. The calamari was delicious and cooked to perfection, but the rest of the appetizer was disappointing. It was delicious calamari sitting on a bed of crunchy white noodles and practically raw white onion. Had the onion been cooked a bit longer this really could have been a standout dish. As it was, most of what came out on the plate went right back where it came from (without the delicious squid, of course). The sushi was uninspiring. The hamachi belly nagiri was okay, but the fish tasted like it was soon going to be too old to eat. It was also sliced very thinly, which is something I've never run into before and did not like. The spicy tuna roll was a big let down as well. Here's a staple sushi item that should be fantastic and it was just adequate. It is possible that my experience is not the norm. The place was busy when I arrived, so some people must like it enough to return. My recommendation is to give Mr An's a pass. I won't be returning. If I need entertainment with dinner I'll find it somewhere else. read more

I chose Mr. An's for my birthday dinner last week. I have small children and wanted it to be fun for them and thought Teppan would be something fun. I'm so glad I chose Mr. An's! The food was really good and my kids enjoyed the show. I'm giving five stars because of the experience. The food was really good but the experience was fun and the staff came and sang me happy birthday in Japanese. Then Mr. An came out and shook our hands and had his hostess take a picture Of our whole family. She had it developed, placed in a card, and paired with a $15 gift certificate for our next visit. It was a great experience. I've told this story to others and they said that didn't happen on their birthday. We went on a Thursday evening at five, which seems perfect if you want great service. As for the food, I chose the Land and Sky (chicken and steak). The steak was memorably excellent. I loved it all and split the portion with my daughter for an extra $3. We were a party of seven and we all had favorable reviews. My oldest had a sushi roll and it was giant. We would definitely go back! read more

I have been going here twice a month for a long time. I really enjoy the Teppan tables and the atmosphere, the food is decent and the portions were okay. The last trip there we made a reservation for 7:30 and did not get seated until 9:30 the manager was not very helpful when I talked to him just said sorry! I also noticed that Mr An didn't come by our table after i complained to the manager. I will not go back read more

We went here for my husband's birthday dinner. It was very busy (Friday night) but we still received excellent service. Our Waitress was on top of it, brought everything out, refilled drinks, all in impressive timing. Our chef, Carlos, was so cool. Great with our group. My kids enjoyed him! He Cooked our food to perfection. Mr. An was very gracious and patient taking pictures with our group and even giving us a picture card momento , which I treasured, they helped us capture the celebration in a photo card. Such a nice touch. The food was very good, From the tender flavorful steak to the scallops cooked on point and the delicious Troy roll. Only one "off" thing to report, and that is, They serve spaghetti noodles with the rice! I didn't really think too much of it, but some of the "foodies" in my group were not impressed. Just seems strange for a place that is so pricey. Not really up to par. But overall we had a fantastic time. Much appreciation to all the staff for the outstanding service! read more

Mr. An's Teppan Steak & Seafood Sushi Bar - My boys having a blast! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Mr An's is fun! There is always a celebration going on inside! We have been several times, sushi bar, teppan, and table. I'm not going to say it is the best sushi, but it's decent and at a decent price. I've actually been impressed with the non-sushi dishes as well. My husband had a steak the last time we were here, and it was cooked and seasoned very well. If you are a girl-drink-drunk, they have some fun concoctions to try. These are on the pricey side, but fun! The service... well, it's been different every time. This last time, the server was very forward, even grabbed the menu in my hand. Not that she was rude, just assertive. But we got our food quickly and never had to ask for anything twice. We'll be back, hoping to reach that 5th star! read more

I'm only giving one star because it's required. First, ordered a draft miller light and it was skunky. Then I told them about it and they agreed and I tried the blue moon on tap. That was also skunky. So I told them to give me a bottle of Miller. It was happy hour so their drafts were two dollars, so I assumed since I replaced it with a bottle they would just charge that amount. Nope they charged extra, since that wasn't a happy hour drunk. That is just the start. Next was their happy hour menu. $5 for tempura green beans. They gave us 10 half sized long pieces. 2nd was the ahi tuna wrapped with a "special" mushroom, which was rubbery and tough. The portion was four half inch cube pieces for $7. That price was directly on the menu, but they charged 7.50. It's not about the $.50, just the principal of it. It was completely empty at 3:30 Sunday, but had over 10 people staffing the place, which should have been a red flag. They have a huge bar area and not a single soul watching football, drinking or eating. Also their equally big dining area had zero patrons. Finally, the place smelled of mildew! read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. I'll start off by saying that the reason for leaving out the fifth star is because I didn't try the sushi. This place has gone through so many names it's ridiculous. I feel like every time I'm in town it's under a new name. BUT, the good thing is that Mr. An has always been in charge and I feel like this time it's for good since he is now owner and operator and he doesn't have any corporate bastards breathing down his back. This, honestly, was the first time in my Hibachi life time that I did not feel like the show was forced and shitty. My group of seven was pleasantly entertained the whole time and even had the privilege of having Mr. An himself visit our table to make sure that everything was ok and the food was good. Now this is a rarity these days for restaurants that aren't Michelin starred, but should become more prevalent given the current economical situation and websites such as this one. The food was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection and the proper vegetables and appetizers were put on the appropriate plate. Those that didn't want shrimp weren't given shrimp, those that didn't want certain veggies weren't given them. Now that may seem simple enough but it is quite uncommon. Come to Mr. An's and you will not be sad. I love this place and it's really not that expensive. read more

Called on Friday afternoon and made a reservation for 7:00pm for that evening. Friday night. I received a call from a manager 5 min. later saying, "We are short staffed on chefs tonight so there will be about a 30 min. wait when you arrive, so you can either come later..or have some drinks in the bar while you wait." We arrived at 7:15..the hostess informed us that it would be at least a 30 min wait..which was to be expected, so we went into the bar to wait. We waited until 8:15, an hr and 15 min past out reservation. They FINALLY called our name and took us to be seated at the table. When the server arrived, she said, "I just need to let you know that we are short staffed tonight on chefs so it could be an HOUR wait.,.So needless to say we left. There's no reason they should've been taking ANY RESERVATIONS that weren't already on the books when they knew they were short staffed. The craziest part is...Mr. AN himself was sitting in the bar. Just bad business. read more

Too crowded, extremely slow service. Made birthday reservations at Tappan grill, but wait was over 1 hour even with the reservation. Gave up and took first available table. Had water dripping from ceiling on us. Food was mediocre at best. Very expensive! and not worth it. read more

We had the best meal tonite!! Ryan W. was the BEST waiter!! Very attentive, fast amazing service!!

Food is pretty good, prices are a bit high, service is great. Nice atmosphere and drinks. Good for a date night.

What a fun place!!!! We went here for my boyfriend's birthday celebration and they really catered to us! Our whole party enjoyed the teppan show and delicious food! Definitely worth the price! read more

I go here usually for birthdays. And it is nice space that accommodates large parties. Other than that, ehh. I had the sake sangria last time and it was way too sweet. The teppan show is okay, not great. And the teppan "cook" overcooked most of the items on the grill. It was a little sad watching the shrimp curl up and become rubbery. The calamari appetizer was good and my favorite part as far as food. Everything is pricey because you pay for the experience I suppose. But I wouldn't come here unless obligated. read more

My boyfriend and I LOVE Mr. An's. We go there weekly! Their happy hour is great. We sit on the patio. Get the coconut shrimp extra crispy. So good! Special shout-out to Ryan, he is one of the best servers! read more

I have been here a few times, both good experiences . Always entertaining and fun with a big group of friends. Food and service was outstanding!!!! Kind of neat to Also see Mr. An a very friendly man. Nice that he goes around to all the tables to check on everybody. That's Good Customer Service !!! read more

See all

Great Sushi! Bin, (pronounced Bean) Mr An's son was our host and very attentive to us throughout our dining experience. My wife and son had teppan and I had sushi. Although most sushi restaurant have custom rolls. The, "Bleu Panda" was a great specialty for my roquefort craving. I know this is very unusual roll and may be considered blashemy by Japanese sushi traditionalists. For me it was a perfect break in the sushi rules. Like jazz breaks the rules of classical music conventions so beautifully, so did the "Bleu Panda." Instead of the subtle nuances between of maguro and toro. The Bleu Panda was a bold and pungent roman candle upon my pallet experience. I know they has great traditional sushi too, but this is the roll I remember! WARNING: Make sure you like Bleu Cheese before ordering this. Thank you Bin! Yumi and I hope to visit you again soon! read more

The staff is wonderful, fast and helpful. The food, on the other hand is really not worth it. Spaghetti in an Asian meal is a big no no. read more

Mr. An's Teppan Steak & Seafood Sushi Bar - Calling spaghetti fried noodles? No, thank you. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

It was just ok. The service or lack there of was sub par at best. We waited over and hour for our appetizer. When we asked where it was the sever gave the excuse of "everyone runs food for everyone and your ticket got closed out so no one knew where to take it" had she come by our table she would have known well before an hour that it was missing. The portions are extremely small for the price you pay. They also charge 2.00 for fried rice. This was the first and last time we will go. We drove from an hour away just to eat here for a birthday dinner and left extremely disappointed. read more

Mr. An's is my new favorite restaurant in Tucson. My boyfriend took me here saying this was the 5th or 6th time he had visited, and I could see why. Our first date was at Sakura several weeks ago, which left us disappointed and ready for a different experience. We sat at a Teppanyaki table and waited for others to fill the empty spots at our table. While we waited, we ordered some drinks (hooray! They have Kiltlifter!) and perused the menu. I just have to put in that the waitress herself already made this review a 5-star review, and this was before I had had any food. Tony was just excellent. When she found out it was my first time here, she was nothing short of just extremely helpful, friendly, and enthusiastic. She suggested spending the extra $2 on fried rice (so glad I took that suggestion!), types of sushi and commented on the quality of the fish, etc. She answered every question and could not have been more welcoming. I ordered the mango roll which, I still stand by, is my favorite sushi roll I've found yet in Tucson. Tony suggested I try the Troy roll next time and I'll be very pleased. Can't wait! We also ordered the tempura vegetables as an appetizer which were pretty good. Our Teppanyaki chef was nice and gave a good show. Mostly, the food was excellent - lots of flavor and I love the garlic butter. I got a huge amount of shrimp which may have been because we were the only two at our table, but I felt like we got our money's worth - holy leftovers, Batman! The only thing the chef forgot to do was try to flip the shrimp into our mouths - which, honestly, I was so relieved since that's my least favorite part, but my boyfriend was disappointed. Next thing we know, Mr. An himself is greeting everyone and shaking their hands! How cool is that? We decided to finish our drinks and conversation out on the patio after Tony had graciously boxed up all our (my) leftovers. The patio is just gorgeous!! It was a perfect night to sit in a gigantic comfy chair and talk while sipping on Kiltlifter. I definitely can't wait to go back. read more

Great experience at Mr. Ans. The food was excellent. Mr. An comes out and greats everyone who comes in to eat. CLASS ACT. The happy hour food was amazing. We brought our two children and they got the chicken with fried rice the portion size is amazing. If your in Tucson this is a must go. read more

Nice bar. Decent happy hour food menu. Weird that they don't offer drink specials though. We had California rolls ($3.25), cherry blossom rolls ($5.25) and beef jalapeno poppers ($5.75)... The poppers only had three in the serving which was not a great deal for $6... Drink prices are eh, not great, but I've seen worse. Wine ranged from $8-12 glass.. They do have a $2 beer special during sunday/monday night football games, but your choices are limited to their "Mr. An's Ale" and I think bud light or something like that... Dinners range from $17-25 unless you start getting the fancy combos, which jump up to as much as $40. I thought it was a little pricey for where it was (out of the way in a strip mall..) and I was really in the mood for more casual dinning, so we skipped dinner and went across the street to Putney's Sports Saloon. read more

The only reason they're getting 2 stars is because they gave the birthday girl a card, which was a nice personal touch. We went to dinner on Saturday night (as a group of 7). When we got there the man at the front said there would be a 15 minute wait, which was really surprising, we asked again just to verify. We decided to go to the bar to wait and after about an hour wait we went to ask how much longer and the same man said we were next. After another 20 minutes we went back up again and said they were "almost ready for us". After finally getting seated our server was prompt in taking our drink orders and we waited for the teppan dinner to start. The server told us it would be about 10 minutes and here we were 40 minutes later still waiting. Over 3.5 hours for a simple dinner is ridiculous! And honestly it was steady not overly busy like previous times I had been there. According to their menu every teppan dinner comes with a soup, salad, rice(or fried rice), noodles, 2 piece shrimp appetizer and veggies. Great! By then we were all pretty hungry and we decided on 4 plates to share (2 surf and turf and 2 chicken terriyaki). Our cook was so nice and friendly. He divided the plates up pretty evenly and everything had good flavor but I did notice we each got 3 shrimp pieces each. So I guess that means a "surf and turf" plate only comes with two pieces of shrimp?! After dinner they brought out ice cream and sang happy birthday in Japanese for the birthday girl and took a picture of the group to put into her card. All of that was a nice touch. They really do need to work on their estimated wait times though to avoid aggravated guests. read more

I just had dinner here with my husband and son to celebrate my husband's burthday. Waitress was polite and attentive, and the chef was funny, and food was good. Everything was pleasant until the owner decided to preach me about how I should have a second kid so that my son won't be left all alone when my husband and I die. Excuse me?! I was so dumbfounded that I forgot to give my husband his birthday present and card because it just made me really uncomfortable that I just wanted to get away from that crazy man I'm not even acquainted with. The owner ruined the birthday night for me just so that he can feel better about himself?! You don't know what's going on in a family and certainly don't have any right to preach how many kids to have! I paid for dinner only, so keep your uninvited preach to yourself, sir! read more

We're in town for family weekend, and another family made this reservation. We got there a bit early so headed to the bar first. It was the tail end of happy hour and we're able to order happy hour drinks...$5 wow great price and actually were tasty. The bar scene was casual and full of people, there is a great outdoor patio with comfortable seating. There was also DJ but it was not an overpowering sound. We were seated as soon as the rest of our party arrived. Drink orders were taken immediately and food orders soon after that. It was probably 10-15 minutes before I chef arrived. I ordered the shrimp and scallops and it was delicious, scallops cooked perfectly. The waitress was very attentive and our drinks never went low with out a refill or glass of wine replaced. Mostly, I would say it was a very comfortable environment, and the entire staff from the door, to bar, to the tepan tables was excellent. We found out, after we ran our cards through that they give 10%discount for UofA students, no problem, they voided that transaction and did another with the discount! Again, excellent service. I would also note....that since it is further from campus there wasn't the family weekend craziness....another bonus! read more

Awesome sushi rolls (Troy Roll and Guadalajara Roll) and the Teppan experience was top notch. Great environment for a date and the service was very prompt and friendly. Only downside was our particular Teppan Chef wasn't as friendly or interactive as the others we saw around. Great date place nonetheless and would definitely recommend! read more

So M decided he wanted to take me here when I got to Tucson for a small meal since I had dinner and he was hungry from work...what's better than sushi? This place is pretty cool..the ambience is nice and fancy and def have the Asian sushi place vibe. There are photos everywhere with I'm guessing, the owner, Mr. An? It was pretty cool to see the different people who has been at this place. It was pretty late Friday night, kinda bummer that they didn't have happy hour, but we decided to get sushi anyways. Since I wasn't that hungry- I ordered the Spicy tuna and he ordered - after taking 5 hours deciding- The Troy!- this was suggested by our server btw. We waited a decent amount, not to bad really. And while waiting...look who comes up to our table...the one and only..Mr. An! It was pretty cool! I think that it is a nice touch that he greets his tables. I wonder if he does this every night for every table? Then our food came...Spicy tuna was pretty good..Def not bad for $6.50. When the troy came out tho..it was literally on fire! We weren't sure how to go about it but our server expertly maneuvered the dish to get it to perfection so we can access our sushi..The sushi itself was good..it had a smokey and creamy taste to it..but I think it sells more for the show. Would want to come back and try the Teppanyaki! Nice time here! read more

Excellent! Best Teppan Grill we have been to in a long time from start to finish! Good food, great flavor, great service!

Worst service ever. mr. Ans and the rest of the hosts sat and watched us wait 50 minutes as our reservation we had a reservation. Absolutely atrocious and absurd. Never come here. read more

We have eaten here before and had great experiences. However, we just got back from a long drive and called to place an order for pickup at 9:36. We were told by the hostess that the kitchen had closed and that we couldn't place an order. I'm not sure whether this is a regular practice here or not, but if a restaurants listed hours are until 10 I don't understand why a simple pickup order isn't possibly 24 minutes before they close. I've worked in the service industry and we were never allowed to deny customers before the closing time. Disappointing for a place my partner and I spend a lot of time at. read more
