Really love coming to this place after a nice yoga session on Tuesdays…read more My go-to has been the Mt. Fuji Bowl with Tuna with half the serving of rice but my last time there I tried the black sesame ramen. It was really rich and flavorful. I want to say that it was just as good as Monta Ramen in Chinatown in Las Vegas. You walk up, you order then they text you when your order is ready. While you're waiting, you can grab a drink from the Westbound Bar (drink included with yoga) then find a spot then chill with your fellow yogis. After having had the ramen I would designate this place as the go to next time I feel like having it.

Out-of-towner visiting Tucson and, as someone who's obsessed with sushi, I was so excited to find…read morethis spot near our Airbnb at the super cute MSA Annex. The whole area is really fun--made up of shipping container shops--and has such a cool, laid-back vibe. It already set the tone before we even got our food. Coming from California, I definitely have high expectations when it comes to sushi, and this place honestly delivered. The fish tasted fresh, the rice was flavorful and well-balanced, and everything just came together really nicely. We also tried some ramen, which was surprisingly solid too. We grabbed our food and sat near the bar, and it made for a great, casual dinner experience. Between the food and the atmosphere, it's a really nice spot to check out, especially if you're visiting Tucson and want a good sushi fix.

I really enjoyed the Mushroom Katzu plate. Perfectly crispy and well seasoned. Even the rice was…read moreperfectly seasoned . They didn't have the complimentary miso soup (said was seasonal). They carry vegan mayo and made vegan spicy mayo for me. Note that when ordered vegan, the cabbage salad didn't come with dressing as it contains non vegan mayo. I also enjoyed trying the leek onigiri. It was counter service. They have some outdoor tables outside on the road. I definitely want to come back for that mushroom katzu plate, particularly when the miso soup is back too. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

It's inside a busy bar so we elected to sit outside and the tables moved around a lot.

Free refills Food: Miso- good: veggie sushi roll: delicious. I have a lot of veggie rolls as a vegetarian, and I appreciated the radish and other veggies in it. My husband had a s spicy tuna, hand roll, and salmon skin roll. He said they were both delicious. We both appreciated the wasabi. They had a nice strong flavor. We also got the buckwheat noodles and dipping sauce. I had it with the traditional radish scallions in wasabi. It was deliciously prepared dipping sauce was delicate and flavorful. Cost: good values. I've been to a handful of other sushi places that would probably charge a dollar or two more per item. Being from the NW, we went to sushi very often so this place was a delightful surprise literally in the middle of a desert. We definitely will be coming back here.

Wanted some sushi and saw that Google had good reviews for this place so we decided to drop in…read more It's located off a busy street and parking is tight and only one way entry. Wasn't busy at all so we were seated and able to order quite quickly. We ordered the caterpillar and especial rolls. Each came with miso soup. Their three TVs in close proximity kept us entertained while we waited. Our server was also attentive of us. Everything was delicious. I liked how they had the extra sides on the plates that I wouldn't see at other traditional sushi restaurants; scallions, jalapeños, and krab. The especial pieces were about 2.5 times the size of normal rolls as well. Definitely recommend this place.
