I would give this place 10 stars if I could! They have three main vegan sushi rolls. The death free foodie is my absolute favorite!!!! everything is always so good here. Get a side of fresh steamed edamame while you wait. The owner is an absolute delight. I love her so much. Just a wonderful human. It is within the American eats food court. Lots of seating. Including bar area. There is also outdoor seating. read more

Samurai Sombrero - Death Free Foodie Roll! GET IT soooo good - Sushi Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Leaving Tucson on the way back to Phoenix and wanted to get a quick bite. We looked for sushi and found 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. read more

All i can say is WOW! The chile relleno roll? WOW! Fresh green green chile stuffed and sliced like a roll. Just the right amount of heat and amazing flavors. We also had the Mexican, fantastic. Crunchy exterior with creamy filling. Also enjoyed the Sonora roll. The service was also excellent. The woman who took our order genuinely loved her job and was proud of the food. The rolls are HUGE. Two would are enough for the average couple along with an appetizer without feeling gross at the end. Love the location. I'm from out of state, so sorry if I'm wrong, but it feels like an older commercial area. Tons of charm just driving around. The inside is setup like a food court. Very open, with lots of options and great vibes. Will definitely return. read more

Tnis place is still untouchable. I had not been since they moved into American Eat Co., but it felt like I had just seen them yesterday. Always a pleasure to chat with Jesus and Gabby. They always make me feel at home, like I'm their primo. So welcoming! The rolls were amazing as always. I enjoyed the Rambo and Ceviche but I was so glad to have gotten the Abigail and Volcano. Two of my long time faves. I totally dig the vibe of their cute little inside corner, too. read more

Samurai Sombrero is that unexpected foodie heaven moment you didn't know you needed -- bold mural walls, neon sushi glow, industrial food hall energy -- and then boom... vegan sushi that absolutely puts it at the top for me. The rolls are fresh, beautifully plated, and not an afterthought (which matters). Creamy avocado, perfect rice texture, that clean soy dip -- it hits. It's tucked inside American Eat Co., so the whole space is buzzing, casual, unfiltered, and vibey in the best way. You can pull up for sushi, grab a drink, wander the hall, and make a whole night out of it. For plant-based sushi lovers especially? This spot is elite. Total vibe. read more

Very friendly help and delicious food. I ordered Pancho Villa roll, sea weed salad, tempura shrimp, and egg rolls. Thought the egg rolls were generic, the rest was well presented and tasty. Reasonable prices and the group restaurant style was nice.. read more

Went to American Eats without understanding the concept. Ended up with a very satisfying meal from Samurai Sombrero. Additionally the service was top notch. Unfortunately its been a bit since I was there (which is why you should always do your reviews before you leave the table!) so I couldn't say exactly what I had- but I do remember that my tummy was very happy. read more

Shrimp tempura is amazing! It's a little chaotic inside with all of the different businesses but once you order your food you can sit anywhere you they will find you. We had a lobster popcorn roll and Sonora roll both were very delicious. Service was excellent. read more

This spot is kinda hidden in this food hall but its food stands out for sure! I had the popcorn lobster roll ... 10/10 completely blew my mind! I never had popcorn lobster let alone on a sushi roll!

Best sushi in town! Gabby and Chuy have created an incredible menu fusing sushi with Mexican sabores. For an extra treat, come on Sunday for a fabulous live mariachi experience. If you're from out of town, it's worth making a short trip south of downtown. You won't be sorry. read more

Samurai Sombrero absolutely blew me away -- from the first bite to the last. The food is incredible -- fresh, flavorful, and packed with creativity. Every dish bursts with perfectly balanced spices and textures that make you want to savor every bite. The service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. You can tell they take pride in making sure every guest feels welcome and leaves happy. And let's talk about the vegan options -- wow. So many restaurants treat vegan dishes as an afterthought, but Samurai Sombrero takes them seriously. The plant-based selections were vibrant, delicious, and full of bold flavors -- no boring salads here! Whether you're vegan or not, you'll be seriously impressed. My only suggestion is to offer photos with their menu but I easily found some on their website. The rolls are much much bigger than expected. Great spot! read more

Ordered 3 rolls in a not very busy evening. After 35 minutes, checked in: it will be out soon. After 50 minutes, checked in: I will be making it soon. Food did not arrive for over an hour. If you are that busy, you should let people know, especially the first time they check in. I get busy, but an hour is excessive under any circumstances. Just a heads up would go a long way. The sushi itself was fine. Nothing too unusual but not bad. read more

I ate the egg rolls and the lobster roll both were delicious and the service was amazing. The cashier was super friendly and dry helpful with everything on the menu. I was there at noon on a Saturday and there was a line of 8 people already placing orders but they were very quick to take all of the orders and mine was out to me very quick as well. It's located in American Eats Co. on S. 4th Ave. and very easy to find and lots of parking. read more

Samurai Sombrero - Lobster Roll and egg rolls - Sushi Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This place is inside American Eat Co, towards the far right of the entrance. We were helped really quickly by staff that was friendly. They even allowed someone in a group to make a substitution in one of the rolls, which we appreciated The rolls offered aren't super unique, they mostly consist of the usual suspects you find in most places, but the 4 our group had were all tasty and served at a perfect temp The ones that were fried were not greasy at all but they were super crunchy, and we found the total cost reasonable. I wish the ingredients offered a greater variety because although it looks like they have a lot of rolls to choose from, honestly they all tasted super similar and we had a tough time choosing which menu item to get because we had a hard time seeing the difference between many of the rolls. That being said, if you want tasty, fresh sushi rolls at a reasonable price, this is a great spot. read more

Such a cool little sushi place. Samurai Sombrero is one of many in this "food court" and did not disappoint. You order and pay at the counter and food is brought out when it is done. We tried the edamame and three rolls and loved them all. You can also grab a drink from the bar area if you are so inclined. read more

Food was great!!! Service was even better!!! Great team! Ceviche roll was our favorite!

Sooooooo good!!! I keep coming here for the deep fried California rolls, but I just tried the shrimp tempura, and it's a new favorite!!! My partner got the gyoza, and he said it was "incredibly flavorful, juicy, but perfectly cooked". read more

VERY AMAZING FOOD! Service could be better but I would definitely go back. The vibe is great and I love the energy

I eat here often, and the food is always fresh and delicious. My favorite rolls are the Heart Attack roll, Mexican roll, and La Frida roll. I've never had a less than perfect item here. They're also just a really great operation--the staff is so nice. They've given me edamame a few times for waiting, which was unnecessary because I barely waited 5 minutes! I highly recommend Samurai Sombrero--you'll not only eat delicious sushi, you'll also have a great experience all-around. TWO BIG THUMBS UP. read more

Gabby and crew are friendly and efficient. The menu items reflect a creative and tasty fusion of Tex Mex and sushi. As snowbirds from the Midwest, we always make a point of picking up a variety of rolls from this unique and delicious restuarant. read more

Disclaimer-I ordered off door dash However what I ordered tasted fresh and absolutely amazing. I had an order of crabsticks and a skinny roll. The crabsticks were not as crunchy as I would have liked but again, I ordered off of door dash so it's possible they are different in person. They tasted great regardless! I also had the Skinny Roll, which sure didn't taste skinny but it was amazing! It had Shrimp tempura, spicy crab, avocado, cucumber with sriracha and Special sauce. Also wrapped in seaweed on the outside. A tad soggy but again, DoorDash. It tasted amazing and I would order again, in person preferably or via Doordash! read more

Very delicious sushi and excellent service by Gabi and the sushi chefs! We go to a lot of sushi restaurants and we would put this place at the top of our list. We ordered the Vegas roll and Lobster popcorn roll which were both amazing. read more

Delicious food. The ambiance is overstimulating as it's in a food court style location BUT, I highly recommend their rolls.

I really wanted to love this place with the positive reviews it had, but unfortunately my experience was not the best. This is located in the shared space of American Eat Co. Like most of the places in American Eat Co, you pay for your food before you receive it. We paid for 4 different rolls. It took about 25 minutes to receive 3 of the rolls (and they weren't busy). Two of the 3 rolls had shrimp and the shrimp was so over cooked that it felt like we were chewing on rubber. I'd never experienced that from a restaurant before. I will say, the flavors were great and I loved the addition of jalapeño in one of the rolls we ordered. More time went by and when we were almost finished with the 3 rolls, the server came out and said they didn't have the ingredients to make the 4th roll and we had to choose something else. We asked that they just give something that is the same price so we got a spicy tuna roll. Essentially it took them over 30 mins to tell us they didn't have the ingredients to make our 4th roll and they were not busy. Overall not a great experience. Wait time after ordering was long, chewy shrimp, and they didn't let us know when we ordered (or even shortly after ordering) that they didn't have certain ingredients to make some of their rolls. It's also very pricy. $15-16 per roll. Not worth that price. read more

First timer and new fan!! it's inside the American eatery. I like that the menu is not 20 pages long is easy to read and it has a description of every single item on there we ordered the heart attack roll the Vegas roll and the chile relleno which surprised us because it's almost like a small sushi. It was so cute and delicious. It's a jalapeño stuffed with crab deep fried amazing doesn't describe it. It was beyond. The staff was really nice and friendly fast service also and it's always a fun time to eat at the American eatery. We definitely will be returning. read more
