    Veggie roll, (I think) shrimp tempura roll, and I can't remember the name of the appetizer in the middle but it was delicious!
    Mandi G.

    Great little new place near Main Gate at U of A. The prices are good, friendly service, and yummy food. We stopped by before a show at Centennial Hall and shared an appetizer and a couple of the sushi rolls. And, omg, the dessert -- so delicious! What a treat! 10/10 You order at a computer kiosk, which is really easy since it has prices and pictures. It might be card only, not sure.

    Love the variety at Flakes. From Poki bowls, salads, apps to sushi rolls, nigiri and sashimi, Flakes is delicious! Order at the counter on a computer and the chef will make your food to order. Location is excellent for u of a students or (like us) visiting a show at Centennial Hall. Very clean and friendly staff!

    The food and service were amazing. It's only the owners who are working so service is a bit slow but they are so kind and sweet. They apologized for not speaking English well but even with their broken English, they are patient and communicate well!! I'm a salmon lover and their sushi is so fresh and delicious - no fishy smell/taste at all! Huge portions and they do not skimp on the fish. The menu and ordering tablet needs descriptions for each menu item. The place is new so the interior doesn't have much decoration and is a bit echoey but I imagine it'll improve as they gain popularity. The location is very nice! It's right on campus off of speedway and park - right below the apartments on park. They also offer Bingsu which I have to go back and try. Please give them a try and review them, I don't want such a good authentic place to go out of business :)

    Unfortunately a lot of the avocado in our rolls was bad, we likely won't be ordering from here again ):

    Delicious vegan sushi! Sweet potato tempura roll (no egg in tempura here) with fish free vegetarian eel sauce. Fried tofu roll.

    This spot was really as great as can be! The man at the counter, I believe the owner, was super kind and eager to make it a great experience. He told me he intentionally has vegetarian and vegan options available. The tempura is egg free and the eel sauce is fish free. I had a sweet potato tempura roll with eel sauce and the tempura was fresh and crispy and stayed crispy in the roll. It was clear the sweet potato tempura was made fresh to order. I also had the fried tofu roll with eel sauce (no yummy sauce because it contains egg mayo). The tofu roll had avocado, cucumber, lettuce and pickled red ginger. The vegetables were fresh and he included an extra fried tofu piece that he didn't fit in the roll on the outside which I enjoyed having and appreciated. I would probably get the fried tofu roll without the pickled red ginger in. I didn't notice this roll had eel sauce inside and thought it would be on top and when I asked him about it and he happily jumped to offer more sauce if needed. He generally was very pleasant and kind. They seem to also have a nice outdoor seating area with cover. Inside is simple and clean. Order and pay is through a computer screen or via phone. I will absolutely come back here as it was probably the best egg free sweet potato tempura roll I had in Tucson and the prices are awesome at $6.79 for each of the rolls I got.

    Spicy California Roll

    We LOVE flakes. Best sushi around !! Great service! The store has a lot of space and seating. It's truly my favorite restaurant in Tucson

    The chef was very nice, sweet, and amazing. The food was excellent, a big upgrade from the sushi at the student union. Very delicious and the prices are pretty affordable for students! The atmosphere is pretty welcoming

    Aburi Salmon

    Really kind chef making extremely affordable sushi with amazing fish quality in what is probably one of the best locations on campus. Strongly recommend in the nigiri section the "aburi" salmon which is flame-torched and adds a new level of flavor. I'll be a repeat customer. Vegan options//California rolls @ $4... you can't find that anywhere else. Or 3 order nigiri + rainbow roll for $20

Just as important as the yummy food, the Team is super nice and make it a real pleasure to enjoy one's meal here, as well. They are attentive, kind, appreciative and treat their guests like Family. And finally, I would be remiss if I did not say how much I love the ambiance. The baseball theme and passion for the game is evident and heartfelt. If O Sushi was a baseball team they would definitely be in the Big Leagues and they would definitely have a World Series appearance on a regular basis. Keep up the Amazing work O Sushi. We greatly appreciate you!

Judgment of the Ahi color when it first came out I was already skeptical. Honestly there's a lot better restaurants out there with fresher fish. The salmon was the only redeeming quality. Instead of giving more fish they give Sunomono (pickled cucumber) and Korean seaweed salad I only got one cup of water and tea. Wasn't asked for a refill. Miso Soup was the machine made one so it was a bit salty.

I opted for the #3 lunch special (3 pieces of sushi and a roll + miso soup) for $14. 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.

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.)

We had a table so we'd be able to watch the TVs since baseball was on. Our servers named is Cassandra and she was the best server I think we've ever had, she was so kind and helpful. She made sure to keep checking in and keeping us ordering more and more food. We asked what items she liked the most, and she was spot on for all her recommendations. We stayed I think 3 hours and just took our time trying different food items and the only one that needs work is the tempura it was undercooked and not crispy enough. My favorite item was the fried fish, and my cocktail the Pineapple Express. I had read a some reviews before going and we did hear they had a lot of bad reviews from previous staff. The restaurant has definitely turned around from what you've read, so if you had a bad first impression I would recommend going back and trying them again. The one thing I do want to throw out there is the lack of bartenders that's my only call out. My mom wanted an old fashioned and the guy who made it was a bar back and had no experience making drinks. So once you fix that then I think you'll be killing it. So until that happens my rating will be 4 stars, so that way there's a chance for improvement. Next time I'm visiting I will be coming back and hopefully Cassandra is still working, she's one of your best workers.
