My husband and i decided to try this place out tonight, and man was it worth it! Dont let it being in a gas station fool you. The food is made from scratch and the sauces. I had the sloppy lobster roll and i ate every bite. The owner/chief is very friendly and personable and makes you feel welcomed. We will be returning! read more

If I could give her food 10 stars I would. This is the next big time in town....a real talent

Delightful owner. Nice sloppy lobster roll. Even nicer zucchini chips , not on the menu. Very thin, very light tempura and hot and fresh and inexpensive as well. I drive an hour there and an hour back. I'd go again in the future. read more

We were surprised to find this gem in a gas station, but don't let that scare you! The food was excellent and the owner/cook is sweet and helpful! The food took about 10 minutes to be done, but it was worth the wait! Be prepared to take it to go, as there is no inside seating. Will definitely be back when we are in the area! read more

The food was incredible. I had the signature bowl. And all the sauces are homemade. Great place to grab some food and hit some golf balls if you want. They have nice private lounge areas to sit and eat. The owner was so kind and came out of the truck to ask us how the food was and if she could get us anything else. I would highly recommend this food truck! read more

Both the lobsta luxe and dynamite shrimp are a must! I was very happy with the amount of lobster in my lobsta luxe order. The owner told me she does the sauces herself and they are heaven! read more

This place is amazing provided you can find it. It is hiding inside the gas station which is not readily apparent. The Lobster Luxe was wonderful though somewhat messy. The owner was quite cheerful and energetic. I look forward to them getting successful enough to move into a real space. read more

I was a little surprised that this was inside a gas station, but my love of food and the pics on here helped persuade me. And I'm glad I came! The lady cooking was so friendly and kind. Not to mention that she's a great cook! Looking forward to coming back and I'd recommend this place to anyone. read more

Loved the Lobster Lux so much, I turned around and waited again to order a container of Tempura Shrimp and Lobster. Will definitely be back. Takeout Only BUT WORTH the wait inside. In the 2 years I have lived here in Mesa 2.5 years and have yet to find Tempura as good as this. With a park 3 blocks away. There is a option for eating over standing there or eating in my car. read more

Giving this place five stars. We pulled up on an unassuming food truck in a driving range parking lot having seen some great looking pics on ig and yelp. I expected good food but this place blew me away. We ordered the dynamite shrimp bowl, "Lobsta" fries, and zucchini tempura. The shrimp bowl was just that, absolutely dynamite. Large, juicy, delicately battered and fried shrimp atop steamed rice with a criss cross drizzle of eel and what I now know is takeover sauce. You should order the extra sauce btw. There's also some crab salad and avocado slices as a smart textural and flavor contrast. Rice was a bit overcooked but easily forgiven with the immaculate shrimp. I thought this couldn't be topped but then I tried the Lobsta fries. Gigantic, succulent pieces of lobster in a light, crispy tempura sitting on the perfect bed of crinkle cut fries. The ridges were an excellent vehicle for the aforementioned takeover sauce. If that weren't enough, it was garnished with some fresh chives and the most amazing tendrils of thin Korean chili strings. A perfect complement that evokes the visual of a lobster's whiskers. Nothing about the zucchini can be said that wasn't already stated; they were in short, delicious. Workers were friendly and very knowledgeable about the food. I need a bottle of the sauce at home. read more

Believe the hype. Tastes as good as it looks and have no doubt this place is going to take off. I'm glad I got to experience it before it gets too big and lines are out the door. Ahdonna seems passionate about what she does and I'm happy to have enjoyed her food. read more

This little hole in the wall is fantastic! The owner is super nice and friendly. The food itself is absolutely fantastic, and everything is homemade and tastes like it. I got the lobster roll and the sweet bun, light fluffy crunchy tempura lobster, and sauces work fantastically together. Will absolutely be stopping by every chance I get. read more

The shrimp taco and bowls are all so delicious. We will definitely come back to try more.

Great food!!! Delicious!! Plenty of selections! Don't be put off just because it's in a gas station. Kitchen is clean and food is hot and fresh read more

Very good food, will definitely be back. The owner was very pleasant and her food was nice and fresh. We drove home to eat it (a 15 minute drive) and still very good. read more

I was told of a great lobster roll in a gas station restaurant and had to give it a try for lunch. The owner and cook came and recommended the lobster roll and seasoned fries. She asked if I could eat some before I left and give her my opinion. Two others came in from out of town due to what they had heard about the food. I have found a new place to return to! I'll be back for another lobster roll and also to try another recommendation. read more

Came in here after reading the reviews and was not disappointed! Had the Tokyo shrimp fries and they were delicious!

Saw the great reviews on IG and had to try it. Tempura takeover is Beyond amazing! Found inside of the Mobil gas station. We are from Seattle and reminds us so much of home. So much flavor!!! The owner is the sweetest and so passionate about her food you can tell! Every bite was magical!!! Her homemade sauc was everything! We had the dynamite bowl and the lobstah roll both sooooo goood! So thankful we found her! Best food we've had since moving here!! Absolutely mouth watering! read more

I went there last weekend, and I tried it for the first time and I loved it so much that I am going back today. Don't let the location fool you. They need to get a food truck going because I'd follow them forsure. read more

Best food I have had in awhile here in Arizona. Owner is amazing and friendly. Don't let the gas station turn you away. It almost turned me away and I'm so thankful I went in. read more

An absolute must have!!!!! Again don't let the location fool you LaDonna (owner) has something absolutely special here. I am so amazed at the customer service, the food and everything else she has to offer. not only will I be back, but I'd like to get involved!!! read more

Okay the Hype is definitely WORTH all the wait!!!! Donna was so lovely and HER Food was more than I could ever expect. She brought memories of every bite that I was taking. Please try it and see for yourself read more

Ok, listen. I was obviously not expecting this little food truck parked on the grass of the driving range but there it was. We tried the dynamite bowl, the tempura shrimp fries, and the Maine lobster sandwich with tots... It. was. To. Die. For. All of them, absolutely finger licking good. We WILL be back! read more

Best shrimp I ever had in my life. I had no complaints. Wonderful staff. Black owned business

I was hesitant at first because this establishment was in a Mobil gas station. I decided to go because it had a 5 star review and the pictures of the food looked great. The wait was kinda long but that's only because there's only one worker. It was well worth the wait. The food looked exactly liked the pictures and the lady there was delightfully. She has been working there at Mobil for 7 month and wants to expand. I highly encourage everyone to help her out and support her because the food was delicious. I had the lobster rolls with tots and lobster fries. The fries and tots were crispy, the roll was buttery and there was plentiful of lobster and sauce. read more

Took me forever to find this place... because it's in a gas station convenience store. I circled the gas station a few times before realizing it WAS the gas station . I almost left because I thought it would be Qwik-E-Mart food. Decided to throw caution to the wind and I'm so glad I did. Just a heads up, there's really no seating inside, this is grab-n-go, but if you can get past the awkward atmosphere it's incredible! Had the sloppy lobsta roll and sloppy lobsta fries and they were delicious! AhDana is a very sweet genuine person and is very friendly and hard working. I could tell she was really trying to make the experience great for every person she helped. I hope people support this because this needs to blow up, she needs a bigger place so that as this gets more popular there's not a huge line jammed into a gas station. I hope she can franchise this and bring it up north to my state! read more

See all

Absolutely delicious. I drove 30 minutes to this little gem and I was not disappointed. The woman who runs the business does it all herself- everything is made from scratch and you can taste the difference. I will be back and next time, I'm bringing friends! I ordered the shrimp fries and lobster roll- she also recommended the spicy tots and I'm happy she did. The service itself was warm and comforting- she talked to me like I was family! Don't think about it- just go!!! read more

I don't review often but this place is so awesome I had to. My husband and I have been twice now and everything we've ordered has been amazing. The lobster roll is tempura lobster and one of if not the best lobster roll I have ever had. I could eat a whole container of the tempura shrimp. I was hesitant when my husband brought me the first time because of the location but I am telling you, this place is so delicious its insane. We pop down the tailgate on my husbands truck and feast. read more

I found this place on Yelp, last Saturday night. What a gem! It is located in a gas station, so I was a little leery. Do not let the location fool you! The lady that cooks and runs Tempura Takeover knows what she's doing! There is no seating, so my husband and I sat in the car and ate our food. The only bad thing was that then he decided he needed more! We had shrimp tacos, a lobster roll, and the most delicious tots with a yummy sauce! Then my husband went back, for the teriyaki beef and rice and shrimp plate. It's not cheap, but it's good quality and it is delicious! read more

OMG! Single best shrimp dish I've ever had! Amazing Tempura shrimp with Takeover sauce on top of fries. Shrimp were perfectly cooked. Sauce is delicious. Ah Dana, the owner chef is really cool. Place is INSIDE the Mobil gas station. Really limited seating. Reminds me of food stands in Osaka. read more
