One of my favorites sushi spots. Food is always a 10, Fernanda was our waitress that night and she was very attentive, great personality very welcoming. Love how they have grown and how it's now operates. Good date type of environment, dim lighting great music. I tell everyone about this place and turn them on. My all time favorite roll is their tropical roll, I can eat two if I could without getting full off just one. 10/10 read more

First of all, I understand this is a fusion restaurant, but I wasn't really sure what standard to judge it by. From an Asian food perspective, I'd give it a 2/5 -- otherwise maybe closer to a 3/5 overall. Service was average, and the overall atmosphere felt more Hispanic-inspired than Japanese fusion. The mango margarita was actually great though -- definitely my favorite part of the experience. As for the food, nothing really stood out. The edamame was overly cooked and mushy. The chicken and shrimp fried rice was disappointing because the chicken tasted hard and chewy, almost feels like leftover chicken reheated. The calamari was okay, very bland, nothing special. The bathroom could also use some work, especially if the restaurant is aiming for a slightly more upscale environment. Overall, if you're coming for the fusion vibe and drinks, you may enjoy it. Although, I'd still probably go to another fusion restaurant with better quality food and better options. I personally wouldn't return, especially considering the price and food quality. read more

Came here for my friend's birthday on a Friday night, so we understood the 40-45 minute wait. Unfortunately, the host, Yamileth, was rude when we politely asked for updates after noticing groups our size being seated before us. Her tone, facial expressions, and overall demeanor came across as irritated and dismissive both times we spoke with her. It definitely made the start of our evening less enjoyable and were continued to made feel uncomfortable throughout our meal. Food tasted good but also sent three people to the bathroom later at home read more

New place for me and my ride or die. Came here with my family and I'm not a sushi fan but I did the teriyaki chicken that was the bomb. The sauce is very good and you get quite a bit of chicken and rice and for what little money they charge for it, I was a fan. Very tasty. The fusion music was actually pretty nice to listen to as well. Would come back for sure. read more

We absolutely loved the atmosphere here -- it's clean, cozy, and has a really nice vibe. It feels a little more upscale and makes for a great place to sit and relax. We ordered five different rolls to try a good variety. Unfortunately, only one of them really stood out. The others were pretty bland and didn't have much flavor or anything especially unique. They weren't bad, just not very memorable. It honestly feels like you're paying more for the ambiance than for bold, standout sushi. I might come back for the atmosphere, but I do wish the flavors matched the setting a bit more. read more

This place is super cute on the inside, cute for a date night or girls night. We were seated and unfortunately it took almost 10 minutes to be acknowledged and that was only because we stopped someone and asked who our server would be. The person we stopped decided that she would be our server. She seemed to be new, so she had someone training her with her as well. Once we got our food and drinks ordered they came out quick. I got the Arizona roll. It was actually really good, but the only thing I didn't like about it was the fact that they put lemon slices, including the brine, in the roll. Next time I would order it without that. Overall they have a ton of sushi options on here. This is an interesting concept being that there are traditional rolls and Mexican rolls as well. I'm sure there's something here for everyone. read more

Took my friends here after a weekend in Ensenada Wine country eating and drinking at Michelin Star restaurants. We wanted somewhere to stop on our drive back and thought we'd go somewhere they like and have gone to often. It was my first time. Service was amazing, restaurant and bar are so pretty and the music was rocking! I wasn't too impressed with the fried sushi rolls, but the rest of the options were pretty darn tasty. E had stuffed jalapeños, margs, beers, a refreshing cucumber drink, and they were all delicious. There were so many options on the menu, I can't describe specifically which rolls we had, but everybody ate everything up, so there's that. Overall, a nice place to pop in for drinks and appies, but I wasn't wowed by those darn fried rolls, they simply tasted pretty-made. Blame the snob in me. Will I give it a try again?... probably for the atmosphere, service, and non fried options. It's sexy enough to try again though, so I may drop in. read more

Such a cool restaurant! Great ambiance with good service and amazing food! The Gueritos were my favorite but everything was so good! So much flavor and good sized portions. You won't be disappointed. read more

Went on a Wednesday night and there was a good amount of people in the restaurant, which gave it a nice, lively atmosphere. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was fast. Our food came out in about 15 minutes after we were seated, which was pretty quick considering how busy it was. Overall, the experience was smooth, and everything from seating to getting our meals felt well organized. read more

Updating my review! I had dine in for the first time today! I really liked the atmosphere, it's moody, kinda dark, and gives a nice ambiance. The service was great! We came in fairly late, and close to the closing time. (It's my birthday today, and I had a full day with work and class, so I wasn't free until after 9pm.) For it being so late, and with the kitchen closing soon, it was terrific! The rolls were ok, I feel like they tasted better the last time we had tried this place. Our favorite was the carne asada. The dragon roll was nothing special, I always love eel, but it was not the best. The Mexican roll was okay. The crunchy roll is good. The drink was delicious! It was so sweet and refreshing. I'm so glad our waiter recommended it! Our total came out to $118. It did not feel like it was worth the price, but the vibes were there. Overall, it was a decent experience, and I would definitely come back. I would like to try it at a different time of day next time and see if anything is better. read more

I loved the one in Tempe so I had to try this location! The ambiance is very nice mixture of Mexican and Japanese decor. So beautiful. The food was good. Drinks were yummy I especially liked my Mezcamaica drink! Loved. They did for get things and also put cream cheese in a roll we asked for without.. it was a busy night. Friday night - typical , the employees seemed frantic.. we had to wait 15 minutes to close out. Tempe location is preferred for service! read more

Food was awful. I ordered a sashimi salad. The dressing was thick and there was a lot. The seafood was teeny tiny pieces. I also ordered a Philadelphia roll. The rice was crunchy, and the pieces super tiny. Service was good and the place was clean. I will never go back and will tell everyone I know to stay away. read more

The food here is always incredible, I love how many sushi roll options they have and everything tastes fresh and delicious! They also have a ton of drink options that they aren't stingy on and are mixed really well. The prices are a little bit on the higher end, but I think this place is worth the treat! It's pretty large inside so even when busy the wait usually isn't crazy long. And the staff usually provides very friendly and quick customer service. We make sure to come back here time and time again! read more

I usually come here once every couple months when I'm craving sushi, appetizers are always a hit! However this last time really convinced me it would be my LAST time, the sushi had honestly no taste, I did get a fried sushi as well, I could taste nothing but flour, out of three sushi rolls, we ate a total of 4 sushi's. Clearly dissatisfied we didn't eat it, asked for our bill, our waiter obviously knew we didn't like it, he asked us what was wrong we let him know it was just really not good, & instead of maybe writing a roll off the bill, it was just "well sorry you feel that way" paid $135 just to have an upset stomach the next day. Also, I'm all for supporting the LGBT community, some of the servers just had attitudes and mean looks on their face it wasn't very welcoming and my husband was a little uncomfortable lol I should've honestly just gotten Chinese takeout , for half the price read more

One of my managers recommended this sushi restaurant, so I took them to dinner here. It's a pretty huge restaurant with a variety of sushi choices. I don't remember what my team members ordered, but I had the following. Food: Shrimp Tempura -6 Pieces Crunchy Roll Fried Gyoza The food was good. Nothing really stood out to be different from other sushi restaurants other than the decor. I also had 2 Crown on the rocks. HH menu is good, and I need to try other rolls. I'll stop by again when I'm in town. read more

The place is good just expensive. Me and my husband went and ordered 2 rolls, an appetizer and one mixed drink and it came out to nearly $100. Expect to drop some major cash when you come here with your friends and family. read more

We went on a Saturday night and were seated right away. The place is big and has a lot of seating which is great because they were busy. The food was outstanding! The fusion was everything I wanted and more. If you get one thing here try the Sashimi Rainbow! The portions are great and everything tasted so fresh. Now the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was due to our server messing up a lot on our orders. Gave us the wrong beer and the wrong drinks. Then told us not to worry he'd comp the mistake because he entered it wrong but still charged us. read more

This was an amazing location to eat. The aesthetics and ambience are so beautiful and inviting. I love the art and decor, everything was fusion in a nice way. Service was wonderful and the staff made some great recommendations. The spring rolls were a great start and the cocktail options are vast. I recommend the kiwi options (if you like kiwi). I got the Cordon Bleu Roll! Let me tell you... absolutely delicious. I have never had anything like it and wish I lived in AZ. I would get this roll on a weekly basis. My bestie tried the lemon roll and said it was great as well. 5/5 for sure! Great for friends, families or a nice date spot. read more

First of all the restaurant looks extremely nice and uppidy which is why the staff carry that energy. The customer service walking in on Thursday night was horrible, the place wasn't even packed and for a to go order of shrimp fried rice I was quoted about 30 minutes for food to go, when I tried to call this order in while being 4 minutes away they continued to tell me they would not take my order without a card on file. This is establisment offers sea food and Mexican styled sushi as well as wings way over priced. Do not waste your time or efforts on a crap show of a restaurant like this . read more

Came in on a Sunday evening and it seems the waiter was in a bad mood just threw the food on the table when it was served. The food was bland sushi rolls we ordered was the el tataki roll and the spicy salmon roll. I normally order teriyaki chicken and salmon nigiri. The teriyaki looked great presentation was nice but flavor could've been better. Place looks great inside but lacked friendly service and the food really not worth coming back. read more

Love dining in at Tataki! They have great Mexican rolls, my favorite is probably the cielo, mar y tierra roll. I also always have to get a michelada because their portion is pretty big. I usually go during the week and it is pretty quiet for the most part. We always get sat down fairly quickly. They have plenty of dining space inside with tables and booths. It seems like they can cater to bigger parties as well. read more

My son and I chose to try El Tataki Sushi for their Mexican/Asian fusion and our mutual love for both! We enjoyed our experience and found the specialty and fusion rolls to be out favorite!

this place is super super cute. the food was amazing, we loved our appetizers and even our drinks ended up being good. our service however was awful and just got worse. mind you every one of us works in the service industry so this was so heartbreaking. our initial greet took probably about 5 minutes. our server then rushed getting our order so he missed half of it and I had to re ask for an appetizer after realizing it wasn't coming when the other did. then only one of our drinks came out and when we asked about it it took another 10/15 minutes. when we asked for boxes it took another 10 minutes.. we asked for split checks .. waited so long we all had taken turns going to the bathroom and coming back before he finally walks up to our table and asks us each "what did you order" ... so okay we explain and pay immediately and leave. it was a sunday afternoon and i mean the place was not even kind of busy. truly disappointed because the food was so good and the place was cute, the server just left a terrible taste in our mouth. lighter skinned guy with blue eyes i think Toni was his name. please fix this! read more

Fun experience. Wait staff is friendly and environment is enjoyable! Will be returning to this fusion experience!

The service was ok the place is nice but the food is not real Japanese sushi fish not quality and not a typical sushi restaurant very saucy and overwhelming the fish thank you it was busy so people who like this style is understanding. read more

This place was so good. I can't remember the last time I've gotten fresher ceviche. The sushi was quality and good portions. The beer was cold and the service was fast and friendly. The fries were nothing special and needed salt but at least they were HOT! The restaurant is clean the servers are professional and attentive. It is very roomy with comfortable seats. Although it was a little dark for my taste, but I get it, it's the high end Nobu type atmosphere. I wouldn't go as far as calling this Nobu but damn good food for reasonable prices. 10/10 would recommend. And cannot wait to come back! read more

Love El Tataki. They honestly are just so good. My favorite is the el craby. The appetizers are delicious. They're all so good I'd say order them all! Spicy edamame is delish. And the fire crackers and guaritos are amazing. I also get chicken fried rice for my son. But at one point we'd come here once a week. read more

The food was absolutely amazing. Thank you! Definitely highly recommend. read more
