Craving sushi so I looked for detailed reviews. The fan reviews brought us here. My mom is NOT a…read moresushi fan but the reviews on chicken teriyaki made her happy, and when the dish arrived on a sizzling cast iron platter, her happy smile came out - even before trying the dish! It was delicious and came with miso to start and a side of rice. Dad and I got 2 bites of yellowtail sushi, rainbow roll, crunch roll and the kamikaze roll. Soooo good! Perfect fresh fish. The yellowtail was heavenly. Buttery soft and delicate. We loved every bite. Another review mentioned the sports/Japanese decor combo, and we actually enjoyed it while watching game 6 of the World Series. We seem to have a problem with forgetting to take pictures of our dishes, but I promise you will get delicious food here!

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.

We were sat immediately and orders taken quickly. Staff was friendly and attentive…read more We ate chicken teriyaki, crab puffs, miso ramen and two eel rolls. All which were good teriyaki did not have a ton of sauce which was a nice change. The restaurant was a decent size and not too loud. The portions are smaller than average for an $9 roll so just be prepared to order non sushi items or spend some money if you're super hungry.

The menu seems a bit more fusion than traditional but a good balance of pushing boundaries without trying too hard. We made a reservation for lunch on a Sunday but were only one of three parties. The ambiance inside is cute and cozy and I'm sure the patio is nice during the cooler months. We ordered quite a bit but our favorites definitely were the pork belly appetizer, the hafu roll, and the neo-genesis roll. I'd love to come back and try their ramen.

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.

We have ordered from Sushi Cho for years on special occasions…read more They always have the most fresh sashimi and delicious Hamachi Kama in town. We ordered on Sat. 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.)

Very fast service for a sushi place, and the food is good…read more This place is run like clockwork. You order and receive your drinks immediately. I would guess our reasonably large selection (see photo) of nigiri and rolls arrived within 10-15 minutes of ordering. My wife's order of veggie tempura was even faster. I thought the quality was pretty dang good. The eel was not the best I have had (that award goes to Sushi in the Valley), but the rest of it was excellent. the salmon skin rolls were exceptional - not often the salmon skin comes out so nice and crunchy. Service was wonderful, and they keep the place clean. It is a little cluttered in there with cases of Kirin stacked up, but I'd rather have a little clutter than run out of beer! We'll definitely be back, especially if we have kids with us that grow impatient waiting...it's a good place if that sounds like you.

The service was prompt and friendly. The food and the reason for the 3 stars. I'm not a fan of mulched tuna in rolls. Why on earth would a sushi chef destroy perfectly good fish - unless he's trying to hide something. Also, the vegetable and Mexican rolls were way too big and unwieldy to eat. It wasn't horrible, but I probably won't be back. Especially with nearly a dozen places on Speedway alone. There isn't much room for mediocrity.
