    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 :)

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

    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.

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

    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

    I first tried Jimmy's based on a friend's recommendation, and boy am I glad I did! Since then it…read morehas become my first choice for poke bowls anytime I have a craving. The portions are amazing and will last me for more than one meal every time. Although I just found out about the new mini sizes which are great for smaller budgets and smaller stomachs if you're not looking to have leftovers. All of the options are so great, it can be hard to choose. But you can't go wrong with any of them. I haven't tried the pita items yet because I just can't break away from the poke bowls! I usually get my meals to go so I can't comment on the experience of dining in. I will say that just last week when I was there ordering a mini bowl to go, I was really appreciative of the staff who were happy to answer all of my questions about the different options for those, since I was used to just ordering bigger bowls with toppings that I chose. The main gate location is centrally located and convenient even if you're just in the area for an event.

    Okay... I'm officially obsessed with Jimmy's Pita & Poke…read more This was my second time back, and honestly? Zero guilt eating here it's fresh, filling, and somehow still feels like a "good decision" meal. And let's talk portions... these bowls are massive. Easily shareable if you're trying to be budget-conscious, but fair warning, you probably won't want to share. This time we ordered the Jimmy's Bowl, we skipped the pineapple, but everything else? Incredible. The spicy salmon and tuna were insanely fresh, the kind where you can actually taste the quality. It just melts in your mouth. Every layer adds something: crisp cucumber, jalapeños, green onions, crispy onions, chili, avocado... it's like a perfectly built flavor stack. I also got the Munson gyro with greens (I went with romaine) and extra tzatziki and wow. Between the feta, the freshness, and that sauce, it hit every note. Pro tip: order an extra pita. I did, and turned it into two meals without even trying. Don't sleep on this spot!

And as the form shows, they are not nickle and dining you. Most sections allow you to add as much as want, and there is an insane amount to choice from. Plus, you can be super healthy. I got a salad bowl, no rice, spicy tuna and crab, with edamame, pickled radish (highly recommend), red onion and more items that I can't remember. Finished it off with fried garlic for a fun crisp that was nice change of texture. Everything tasted really fresh. The daughter got a sushi burrito, filled with crab, avocado, cream cheese and again, other items I can't remember. Everything nicely distributed. Both were huge, giving us dinner and lunch tomorrow. And such a good price! Mine was $17 because two proteins and hers was $15. It is counter service, get your own water, but they brought the food to us and there are signs saying to leave trays on table, so not total self service. The cashier was very helpful, and gave a great description of the drink the daughter asked about. Thr daughter has a goal of working way through drink menu so we will be back.

There are about nine or ten different food options, so you have a ton to choose from. You have everything from hot dogs, Greek food, burgers, pizza, pasta, sushi, coffee, and more. On top of that, about a third of the space is a full bar, which adds to the overall vibe. We tried Monster Sonoran Dogs and GM Kitchen 86, and both were really good. The burger from GM Kitchen was massive and the fries were on point. If you are in the mood for a burger, that is definitely the place to go. One thing that really stood out was how clean everything was. The staff going around cleaning tables were constantly on top of it, and one of them even helped answer a couple quick questions I had. Overall, this is a great spot with lots of variety, good food, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out.

It is similar to a food court style set up, but it is modern and elevated, but with a rustic feel and vibe. There is everything from sushi, burgers, Sonoran, dogs, coffee, ice cream, tacos, pizza, Greek, and so much more. Today I was drawn in by the Birria Dog. It has a cool pink bun and all of the fixings of a Sonoran dog with Birria on top. They also had something called juicy sticks which is basically mozzarella sticks with Birria onions, cilantro, salsa Verde, and a lime. This has an amazing cheese pool if you are looking for an epic photo app and delicious taste. We also tried the gourmet sandwiches and delicious burgers called GM kitchen 86. We got the butcher burger and fries and it did not disappoint. The burger is stacked high with two patties and two onion rings and slathered with sauce and cheese. They also have patio seating too, and even a bar for those who want to partake in a little adult beverage. I highly recommend checking out this location, especially for the variety that it has and the atmosphere.
