    I don't usually leave reviews and I love Obon. But, this time, I got takeout. And received a raw egg in the shell still in my ramen.

    Crispy Trio Sampler- not my favorite
    Jaslean A.

    Really enjoyed our meal! Our waiter Madox was very nice and gave us a recommendation of the ribs which were delicious! My favorite dish was the BAO BUNS they were EXCELLENT. Strongly recommend those! I didn't care for the crispy rice trio it wasn't as flavorful as I'd hope and it was too crispy my jaw hurt chewing it. But the ribs and bao buns were so delicious it earned the 5 stars for me! Vibes were nice

    We arrived on a Sunday at 2PM, no wait as it wasn't busy. The dining area was a bit tight as we had a baby stroller, but they made it work. We parked for free in the underground parking. Great service, our server was professional and friendly! I ordered the Obon ramen. The spice was noticeable but tolerable for me. Good chicken:noodle:toppings ratio. The broth was tasty but not too salty. It was all delicious! I didn't finish it all on purpose so I could enjoy it the following day. Unfortunately I forgot it when we left xD

    Quick stop for lunch. No wait time. Service from start to finish was good. I ordered the Fukushu roll a salmon nigiri. Both were tasty! If you're looking for some heat, get the Fukushu roll. My husband got the Obon ramen. That was also a winner. The broth was tasty with all the fixings. I'd skip the fried calamari next time. It was overly battered and less meat. Parking is located in the garage right next to the resturant.

    Teriyaki chicken was excellent. I also ordered the vegetable tempura and pork gyoza. It looked so good I started eating it before I got a picture lol sorry. Definitely a repeat restaurant for me Oh and the service was excellent!!!!

    This is located in the Scottsdale Quarter, there's a decent amount of parking but it appears the area stays pretty busy. Service was decent. I was going to order an alcoholic beverage but the server was busy or something for a bit so I didn't order one bc by the time they came around I had changed my mind. Maybe next time. The restroom door looks heavy but is very light, and it swung open hard into the trash can. Apparently it wasn't just me that was surprised by it, the person behind me did the same thing. Calamari --10/10 would definitely eat it again. It wasn't overly salty, very crispy. Cooked nicely. Sometimes I don't really like sharing, this was one of those times. It comes with a miso sesame aioli. Super tasty. Hafu signature roll- ooh this one was a 9/10. The ratio of rice to fish was good, not overly heavy with the rice. 9/10. Definitely one to get if you like spicy tuna and salmon. It wasn't spicy on its own in my opinion but still had nice flavors. I had the Obon ramen. I ordered it with an extra egg bc I love soft eggs in ramen. The pork belly in there gives a great texture along with the beech mushrooms. The ground chicken sounds basic but it wasn't spicy on well rounded in this dish. The noodles were not overcooked, they had a good texture. All the flavors complemented each other nicely. It lists the soup base as spicy red miso. I didn't think it was spicy but I didn't need to add anything to adjust it. It was a little salty, but not to the point where it was making me thirsty. 8/10. We also ordered salmon teriyaki. It was a "large plate". Portion size was good. Nice teriyaki flavor, not too sweet, and salmon was cooked nicely. 8/10 We also ordered tonkotsu ramen. The mild broth is rich and not too salty. I think this is run by the owner of Bisutoro, and I didn't order the same things as I did there. However, the food I tried was better at this location in comparison to the other location. Would I be back? Yes definitely when I'm in the area.

    Visiting Scottsdale quarter for some shopping, I finally got to hit up Obon Sushi - it's been on my bucket list forever. I strolled in around 5 and the place was basically empty. Zoe the waitress was super friendly, so that was a win. I went all out and ordered Bluefin tasting (sashimi; soy akami, chutoro, otoro & Pineapple sake. The sashimi was ridiculously good; Otoro, the fatty buttery tuna literally stole the show. The pineapple sake was pretty decent too. All in all, a solid visit.

    Omurice

    Matcha Pancakes - This one was my favorite dish of what we ordered, fluffy whip cream on the side to match the fluffy matcha pancakes with a subtley sweet syrup. It all went together very nicely Karage - The chicken wasn't dried out but it was a little bland, has a subtle citrus lime taste to it that was different Omurice - Also bland, but I'm glad they have it since no one else does! Ramen - bland broth (not pictured) Hip atmosphere in a great location, the menu has yummy looking options but their food tends to be more on the bland side in my opinion. Not a bad place to go to if you're in the area though.

    Yellowtail Belly Sashimi
    Lien S.

    6/28/25. Celebrated my friend's belated birthday here over the weekend. We had reservations for 5 people at 7pm at the sushi bar. It's a busy area but the parking garage around the corner wasn't too bad. The place is small compared to the Bisuturo location but busier. It was a little warm inside on this night. I was seated right away (the rest were late. So sorry!). I ordered a drink to sip on while I waited and Chef Po made a yellowtail poke salad to snack on. After they arrived, we all decided to leave things up to chef. Wow, everything was delicious! Drinks: Black Tea Old Fashioned Casa & Sprit Sake Bombers 5 Casamigo Shots 1 Whiskey shot Food: Yellowtail Poke Salmon Poke Yuzu Yellowtail Tuna Crudo Salmon Crudo Shiro Maki Roll Yellowtail Nigiri Salmon Nigiri Tuna Nigiri Yellowtail Belly Sashimi Uni Ikura Scallop Spoons Pork Belly Starter The Black Tea Old Fashioned was a bit too strong for me. It sounded and looked interesting but wish I ordered the Tiki Kaji instead. For the food, my favorites were all of the yellowtail items. Also loved the uni ikura spoons too. We wanted to order more cuz it was so good but they ran out of uni. I recommend all things yellowtail here but some other specific items to order are the Shiro Maki Roll, Salmon Crudo (not on menu) and Uni Ikira Spoons (not on menu). Our waiter, Ethan, was really nice and everyone in the back was friendly as well. Thank you to Chef Po for making us some tasty dishes and PJ for the pork belly dish as well. Say hi to them if you see them! =)

    Unfinished vegan Death Free Ramen
    Sapna H.

    The food had no taste!! That's a sin for a restaurant. Ordered Obon ramen, vegan ramen, edamame hummus, butter noodles and cucumber roll. Only saving grace was the hummus. Everything else was below average. Won't go again and don't recommend it to anyone. Save your money and tastebuds and go somewhere else. Also service was ok, we saw our waitress 3 times since we sat to till we left.

    Bob J.

    The Ramen was great! I made a little bit too spicy with their spice bomb! Service was great restaurant was clean. I would definitely go back. !

    Pork Gyoza
    ThucDan H.

    I thought this was a super fancy place, but it's actually pretty casual. We ordered it from the happy hour menu which gave us great value. Wait staff was a little bit lacking but not something I mind too much. Will definitely come back !

    Kathy C.

    We made a reservation for my friends birthday here and got sat in front of the sushi bar. We had a great experience getting served by Po the sushi chef right in front of us. It was a very modern cute place. We did a omakase dinner where the chef just makes specials for us as we go. I love the omakase experience. Everything tasted very fresh and the presentations were spectacular! My favorites were the yellowtail , salmon and uni! He made each dish with unique sauces that paired well with them. The staffs were all very friendly ! Music wasn't overly loud. Definitely recommend this sushi place !

    Are the jackfruit steam buns vegan or made with egg?

    Hi Elixandria! The contents of the jackfruit bun are vegan, however the bun itself is not as it contains milk.

    Is there a happy hour?

    We have Happy Hour everyday from 3 - 5! It includes some of our signature cocktails, wine, beer, and sake. As well as some appetizers, select nigiri, and all of our standard maki rolls.

    Are any of the OBON locations open yet? Really wanna have a nice relaxing dinner for my birthday at the end of this month!

    They are all open as of this week. We have very limited seating and are not taking tables more than 8 for the the time being, so recommend reservations.

    Are there gluten free options? Specifically, is there sushi you can get gluten free and if so, which ones? Planning on going on Friday. Thanks!

    Gluten allergy or preference? Soy is obviously a large contributor to many of our items, and Asian items in general. While soy doesn’t contain enough gluten to actually be deemed “gluten” we understand that an it could cause reaction with an…

I did the Deluxe because it had soooo many options that I honestly didn't need Premium. I was surprised that it included sashimi in that option and was super happy about it. The quality of the fish was great, especially for an AYCE location. Service was great and attentive. The only bummer is they have this A5 Wagyu nigiri that you can only get one per person at the table, and it was sooo good. I really wish they would let us have it a couple more times, but it is what it is! Overall, will definitely be going back.

I think if this skin wasn't smoked, I would 100% go back to Yama and try their hamachi kama, but I am such a NON FAN of smoked food, that I'm not sure I will ever go back. Sad day though because the salmon skin handroll portion size was on point!

We got a free thing of veggie eggrolls due to them miss hearing one of our friends and thought we ordered it. It was nothing special though it tasted like the typical frozen mushy type wasn't very good. Disappointed on the takoyaki I had just one small piece of octopus inside of it and it was just all batter. Probably some of the worst type I've had. The fried squid legs. Were good can't really mess that up unless you mess the batter up pretty badly lol the Gyoza was very fresh tasting and had the perfect amount of crunch for pan fried now the tonkatsu ramen not the best in az but it was good not oily broth more thicker nooodles more on the thinner side and the pork was tender and egg made to the perfect softness for that gooey inside the beef bulgogi plate combo was good you can't really mess up Bulgogi so it tasted like any other Bulgogi. I had definitely didn't expect it to be so small though especially with how much you're paying I pay for less for way more at other places and they give me a good amount of onions on the bottom this place I barely got any onions underneath, and it was just all burnt on the bottom. So half of my onions were just stuck to the bottom and I couldn't get them off. The side dishes, though these are some of my favorite side dishes I've had at a Korean spot in Arizona. Super sucks because I would only wanna come back for the kimchi side dishes, but didn't really enjoy the food to an extreme amount to justify driving 30 minutes back and price , some items are a bit pricey, but most of the items are priced at the same as other places I've been but you get way less I really did like their kimchi, though it really was some of the best but man so far and nothing I'd want from that menu entree wise so I think it's worth checking out but I can't justify coming back

We were a party of 12 visiting on vacation, and none of us are from the area. We ordered spam musubi and a chicken skewer as appetizers. Both appetizers arrived well after our entrees had already been served and we had essentially finished eating. Each time we asked about them, we were repeatedly told, "They're coming." Mind you, these are simple appetizers that should not take anywhere near that long to prepare. When we asked for the third time, we finally asked that the appetizers be cancelled since we had already finished our meal. At that point, the gentleman working the front area , tall, with red hair, loudly yelled from across the restaurant, in an extremely rude and confrontational tone, "It's already on the grill!" There was absolutely no reason to speak to paying customers that way. His response was unprofessional, unnecessary, and honestly created a very hostile and uncomfortable feeling during what should have been an enjoyable dinner, especially while our group was on vacation and simply trying to enjoy a meal together. When the appetizers eventually came out, we left them sitting there because we were already done eating and ended up taking them to go. He eventually told us they would be removed from the bill, which we appreciated, but that did not excuse the way the situation was handled. Again, the food was good, but good food does not make up for poor service and especially not for an employee speaking to customers in an aggressive and disrespectful manner. Management should seriously address how customers are treated, because the interaction with this particular employee overshadowed what could have otherwise been a good dining experience for our party of 12.
