Death Free Foodie Roll! GET IT soooo good
Clare M.

I would give this place 10 stars if I could! They have three main vegan sushi rolls. The death free foodie is my absolute favorite!!!! everything is always so good here. Get a side of fresh steamed edamame while you wait. The owner is an absolute delight. I love her so much. Just a wonderful human. It is within the American eats food court. Lots of seating. Including bar area. There is also outdoor seating.

Rolls L to R: Volcano, Ceviche, Rambo, Abigail.

Tnis place is still untouchable. I had not been since they moved into American Eat Co., but it felt like I had just seen them yesterday. Always a pleasure to chat with Jesus and Gabby. They always make me feel at home, like I'm their primo. So welcoming! The rolls were amazing as always. I enjoyed the Rambo and Ceviche but I was so glad to have gotten the Abigail and Volcano. Two of my long time faves. I totally dig the vibe of their cute little inside corner, too.

Samurai Sombrero is that unexpected foodie heaven moment you didn't know you needed -- bold mural walls, neon sushi glow, industrial food hall energy -- and then boom... vegan sushi that absolutely puts it at the top for me. The rolls are fresh, beautifully plated, and not an afterthought (which matters). Creamy avocado, perfect rice texture, that clean soy dip -- it hits. It's tucked inside American Eat Co., so the whole space is buzzing, casual, unfiltered, and vibey in the best way. You can pull up for sushi, grab a drink, wander the hall, and make a whole night out of it. For plant-based sushi lovers especially? This spot is elite. Total vibe.

Shrimp tempura is amazing! It's a little chaotic inside with all of the different businesses but once you order your food you can sit anywhere you they will find you. We had a lobster popcorn roll and Sonora roll both were very delicious. Service was excellent.

Best vegan sushi!
Ernesto L.

This place is a must go. Their vegan options are limited to a handful but they are top notch! Had the Famous Fried Avocado, Death Free Foodie, sweet potato, and the Mango Roll! All were scrumptious and delectable! They are super friendly! We drive an hour and a half to come. Its worth it!

Sonoran roll and Lobster popcorn
Melissa E.

Really good sushi. Mexican twist to traditional sushi. Both rolls were yummy. The ponzu sauce is amazing and spicy (not shown in the picture)

Vegan mango roll. Yum!
Jillian W.

Located inside American Eat Co, Samurai Sombrero is a great option! They have 4 vegan rolls (as is, without modification). This is the best vegan sushi I've had in Tucson! Try the Death Free Foodie roll if you're looking for some crunch and spice. The mango roll was really good. So fresh and light. Will definitely be back.

Seaweed salad
Matthew C.

Very friendly help and delicious food. I ordered Pancho Villa roll, sea weed salad, tempura shrimp, and egg rolls. Thought the egg rolls were generic, the rest was well presented and tasty. Reasonable prices and the group restaurant style was nice..

Popcorn Lobster Popcorn Roll and the Samurai roll
Desiree B.

This spot has some of the best sushi in Tucson, they always have. I have been supporting them since they were a truck at the Pit. The owners are the nicest people and the food even better. Had a Yelp event so had to grab some sushi while we were there.

Left to right: Abigail, Magda, Rainbow. I get a Magda every time I come here!

Best sushi in town! Gabby and Chuy have created an incredible menu fusing sushi with Mexican sabores. For an extra treat, come on Sunday for a fabulous live mariachi experience. If you're from out of town, it's worth making a short trip south of downtown. You won't be sorry.

Gyoza
Eddie T.

Picked this lunch date solely on the name. Wasn't disappointed. The gyoza were crispy and tasty. The singular plate allowed me to easily take extra pieces from my wife's roll.

Alaska roll, Cali roll, spicy tuna

Ordered 3 rolls in a not very busy evening. After 35 minutes, checked in: it will be out soon. After 50 minutes, checked in: I will be making it soon. Food did not arrive for over an hour. If you are that busy, you should let people know, especially the first time they check in. I get busy, but an hour is excessive under any circumstances. Just a heads up would go a long way. The sushi itself was fine. Nothing too unusual but not bad.

This place is inside American Eat Co, towards the far right of the entrance. We were helped really quickly by staff that was friendly. They even allowed someone in a group to make a substitution in one of the rolls, which we appreciated The rolls offered aren't super unique, they mostly consist of the usual suspects you find in most places, but the 4 our group had were all tasty and served at a perfect temp The ones that were fried were not greasy at all but they were super crunchy, and we found the total cost reasonable. I wish the ingredients offered a greater variety because although it looks like they have a lot of rolls to choose from, honestly they all tasted super similar and we had a tough time choosing which menu item to get because we had a hard time seeing the difference between many of the rolls. That being said, if you want tasty, fresh sushi rolls at a reasonable price, this is a great spot.

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!

My mom is NOT a…read moresushi fan but the reviews on chicken teriyaki made her happy, and when the dish arrived on a sizzling cast iron platter, her happy smile came out - even before trying the dish! It was delicious and came with miso to start and a side of rice. Dad and I got 2 bites of yellowtail sushi, rainbow roll, crunch roll and the kamikaze roll. Soooo good! Perfect fresh fish. The yellowtail was heavenly. Buttery soft and delicate. We loved every bite. Another review mentioned the sports/Japanese decor combo, and we actually enjoyed it while watching game 6 of the World Series. We seem to have a problem with forgetting to take pictures of our dishes, but I promise you will get delicious food here!

I noticed when ordering that the prices are very good - they remind me of what I'd see on a menu pre-Covid. I ordered the spicy tuna roll, shrimp tempura roll, and tobiko nigiri - nothing tasted super fresh and some of the pieces of tuna were fishier than I'd like. The tempura and shrimp flavor weren't great and tasted a bit like old oil. The rolls weren't bad, but weren't anything special either - just mediocre. I do enjoy that the spicy tuna roll included cucumber, as a lot of spots only use fish and I enjoy the added freshness and crunch cucumber adds. I do enjoy the atmosphere inside, and the expansion they have done looks very nice. Just sad that a long-standing Tucson sushi spot seems to have gone down in quality. I wouldn't mind at all of they increased their already low prices and compensated by using fresher and higher quality fish.

Service was friendly, informative, and attentive. We started with the $10 tempura app that came with 2 shrimp and fried salmon. But I was blown away by the fact that they still provide complimentary miso soup and edamame. So Mayne places have tossed that treat out. We tried several rolls, but for the cost conscious, they have several bundles and meal deals. As sushi goes, this place is pretty reasonable. As for the taste. Everything was clearly fresh and made fresh. Fish temp and texture was perfect. The rice correct. They have a mix of heavy rolls and refreshing rolls. Just ask the server and they can point you to a good selection. I will return!

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.

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.
