    Roll was mainly rice and the meat that was in there was rubbery and flavorless
    Courtney S.

    I'm pretty surprised at how good the reviews are for this place. We have driven by jalapeño dragon for years and finally decided to try it. Walked in and the inside is pretty basic. There was 3 people in there and it took over 35 minutes for our food. For what you get it is absolutely not worth it. The rolls were all rice. The little bits of meat were way over cooked and disgusting. The shrimp was rubbery. You get more meat in a single taco that is $4-5 than you do in an entire roll for $15. My roll was almost entirely rice. Overall it didn't even taste good, extremely bland. Won't be back and wouldn't recommend. Neither of us finished our food and went somewhere else to eat.

    In February I had a positive water experience at Jalapeño Dragon. Water comes in small cups. It is cool. I recommend.

    This place started with a food truck and I am not sure what jas chanced but im sure the owner will know. The roll was good, I had the land lober roll. I did noticed the change in the Chipotle sauce and also the soy sauce that usually had a hint or orange was not the same. To me they tasted sweet and I love them both with my rolle. The place is pretty, and clean. Music was a little loud there was no one there and at that I barely heard whne they called my name to pick up my order. I would consider giving it a second chance i just hope yo see same quality in the food as it did when they had the food truck.

    Overall I was impressed with the sushi. I have tried others and typically the flavor doesn't change across the sushis but these did. The soy sauce was perfect too. Would totally recommend and will be going back to try their other items. Only con felt like their chipotle sauce needed a bit more chipotle flavored. Place was nice and clean too Customer service was also great too. Total price for 3 sushis, 2 surf n turf tacos and 1 tea less than $70

    First time at this new restaurant. The food was really good. I got the Dragon Roll which was baked so it took a little extra time. My wife is not a seafood fan so she got the Land Lubber roll. Both rolls were large, I think 12 pieces, and we ended up taking probably 8 pieces home. We really enjoyed both rolls. The Dragon Roll has a lot of flavor and just enough heat for you to feel the slight tingle. Half the people were getting the tacos and the other half we're trying the unique rolls. I look forward to trying the ceviche roll next time. Parking is a bit tight right in front of the restaurant so we parked on the residential street. Very good, we will be back.

    The food is amazing, the service was amazing, and the ambience is amazing. I honestly wish I could rate higher. I got the ceviche, the birria tacos, and the Land Lubber roll. I love my mom and her ceviche but this was the best ceviche I've ever had. I WILL be coming back.

    AMAZING! I'm not a big fan of Mexican style sushi but this was sooo good. It wasn't too overwhelmingly battered, it didn't have too much rice it had the percent crisp and perfect amount of fillings. I love how it's a family owned restaurant. Their young daughter was ringing us up, their son was helping make the sushi. Very kind and helpful service. It's a very modern clean restaurant. Music was loud but not too loud, they have a self serve salsa bar which were really good! Overall we had a great experience for our first time and will go back. Btw they had a steady amount of business. It wasn't dead but it wasn't overly busy.

    We've been seeing reviews about this place and how they finally opened a dine in restaurant, so we finally tried this place. It's very new and very nice inside . Love the decor and how the restaurant looks. The menu.... Doesn't look like a lot but trust me, if it was a huge menu I don't think we would ever be able to decide what to eat. My husband and I shared Quesabirria Tacos, the Three Amigos Roll and the Chipotle Roll. We want to eat more Quesabirria tacos like now, they were that good. It's does not come with consume (which you do have to pay extra for) which I wish we did. The three amigos roll, giving you chicken, beef and shrimp cucumber and fried, delicious. It taste good with the soy sauce and the guacamole from the salsa bar. Now our favorite and will get again... the chipotle roll shirmp, crab meat, cream cheese and cucumber. Sounds basic. But then they top it with chipotle cream cheese, bacon bits, eel sauce and then baked. It was so so so good. We know we want to get it again. They guys behind the line were very nice and friendly. And also was nice to know everything Is made to order cause you can see them working on our order and hearing it all drop to fry and bake. We cannot wait to go back and try the rest of the menu!

    Yum! Forgot to get a picture of my food because it was so good. I got the yakimeshi rice bowl and wow their sauce is my favorite. Such unique flavors it's a must try.

We walked in a weekday night and found the dining area quite small and full, except for their final open table next to the entrance. We took that spot and found out 'the hard way' they have those dastardly uncomfortable metal chairs. Not only is the seat firm and not cushioned, the bar that wraps around pinches in on your hip. We almost left but decided to tough it out. Our server was attentive and friendly and our order came out quite quickly. We ordered a few specialty rolls like their sweet potato roll, dragon roll and caterpillar roll. I also ordered a salmon sashimi. All of the rolls were well presented and best of all, tasty! It's not near the best sushi I've had, but it filled the craving we had. The wall murals and decor were simple but classy. We also noticed the noise level was good despite many people in a small space. Overall, this is a nice little neighborhood spot for sushi and worth a visit!

    We were looking for somewhere to eat in the Mesa Riverview area and I didn't know this was back…read morethere, right next to the movie theater. Reviews are very good and so we gave it a try on a Saturday evening. When we arrived there were 2 people eating at the sushi counter, otherwise it was empty. During our time there another couple came in, so it was not busy and easy to get a table. The server was very friendly and service was great. For that I'll push my rating to 4 stars. For me, this place is personally 3.5/5. Everything was decent but nothing I would rave about. And that might just be me, because people love this place in other reviews. It was possibly just a bunch of little things that made me think it's just okay. I thought the texture of sushi rice was a bit too soft, I know it's sticky rice but I felt like it was a little over cooked and too soft. I also thought both of my rolls tasted exactly the same. Which thankfully I thought were good tasting. The stuffed jalapeños were definitely a miss, they were so under fried so mostly a mush of ingredients in a jalapeño. And initially I liked the karaage but had a couple of tough pieces, so overall that was just okay. Miso soup was solid. And I realize that the appetizers are cooked in the back and not by sushi chef, and people rave about the chef. However like I said, both rolls seemed pretty similar tasting and one was supposed to be more spicy. All very standard flavors, like I would expect from AYCE sushi. I think I'm just looking for more delicate flavors with higher quality pieces of fish. I likely should have tried some of the special items listed on the rotating items board near the sushi bar. Next time we go back I'll try sitting at the sushi bar and trying some speciality items. People have said this is the best way to enjoy this place. We will likely come back during a lunch or happy hour special, if I like it better and I can upgrade my review I'd be happy to give this small, local family run business all the stars.

    Came here to eat lunch before a movie and I was pleasantly surprised! Sushi was so yummy and…read moreservice was friendly. I believe they have a happy hour or a good price on sushi... ! Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area.

The first time I came was when they originally opened, so had a few hiccups and sushi was okay. Now years later, I would have expected better quality fish, rolls, the way they cut their fish etc. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. Came with a friend, she said she enjoyed this place. I ended up ordering two rolls for myself. Can't remember the names now, but the rolls were flavorless even with sauces that went on top (I actually asked for more and still didn't have much flavor), the cuts of fish were very skimpy/thin and uneven, my sushi rolls themselves also lacked ingridients inside and were so small. As shown in my pictures. I ended up taking the left overs home to show my spouse and to see what he thought, thinking maybe my taste buds were off, and I was being extra and he was in shock that I actually ate some of it and didn't say anything. For rolls costing $15+ I would hope for a bit thicker cuts of fish since that's what I'm paying for, not closer to paper thin... I was truly so disappointed.
