    sweet and sour chicken
    Brandi D.

    We had a fantastic dinner at Ume inside Casino Del Sol on a Friday night! Just a heads up -- it was about an hour wait, so make sure to check in early. The good news is they text you when your table is ready, which makes it super convenient. We had a party of 3 and the process was smooth. Pro tip: Don't forget to scan your Casino Players Card at the machine before heading in! I had a buy 1 get 1 free dinner coupon for Ume, which made the meal even better. As for the food -- everything was delicious. My mom ordered the sweet and sour chicken and absolutely loved it. We also shared the House Singapore noodles, which tasted so fresh and flavorful. I ordered both the orange chicken and the kung pao chicken (thanks to my coupon!), and both dishes were amazing -- perfectly cooked with great flavor and just the right amount of sauce. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and our food came out quickly even though it was busy. Highly recommend if you're at the casino and craving great Asian cuisine. We'll definitely be back!

    We were there for my parents wedding anniversary and wait time was 1.5 hrs They LITERALLY made us wait the time they quoted us even if they sat other parties before We are long time customers of the casino/restaurants and hadn't been to UME in a while but my parents wanted sushi so we waited. *[[HIGHLIGHT]]WE SAW A RAT at the table next to us!!!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] *Portions for entrees were really small and not tasteful *Sushi was good *Manager and server were really nice and apologized *Hosts were not nice or professional *[[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant in general smelled bad[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] *Sodas was flat *They gave us tap water *[[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was not clean and the bathroom smelled horrible[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] *Manager gave us 20% discount for the inconveniences... not was i was looking for but Thank you, still wouldnt come back This restaurant used to be really popular and very tasteful, bar had good drinks and the placed looked upscale, unfortunately it has gone downhill.

    Plastic I found in my rice
    Seandean A.

    I was pretty sure I had reviewed this place but I can no longer find it This is my second time coming to Ume, reluctantly on the request of my mother in law. The first time we had horrible service and sub par quality food. This second time the service was much better but the food was to be expected based on my first experience. Our rice was dry and I found plastic in my chirashi rice (photo attached) The ramen my boyfriend ordered was not a tonkotsu ramen. It was a war wonton soup with noodles, with a whole hard boiled egg. My chirashi was just ok but for the price, there are other places in town worth that amount. My in laws love their Mongolian beef and that's why we keep coming back. People all say the Chinese food is where it's at here. And I'll be trying that the next time we come back. My fortune cookie had no fortune...

    Dragon roll
    Ashley C.

    Went here for my brother's birthday this past week. It was a Wednesday evening and it was pretty slow. Our server was pretty meek, and unable to answer questions about the menu. She was nice though. We ordered a couple of drinks (both strong) the tokontsu soup, beef lo mein, a dragon roll, miso soup, anime fries, and wings. When it came to the wings, we asked if we could do half-and-half for the flavors and were told no. The server then said she could bring the sauce on the side so we went with that option. She only brought one of the sauces, which defeated the purpose of getting the sauce on the side , but it's whatever. The anime fries had good flavor however I felt like they were lacking of all the ingredients that were stated on the menu. For instance, the menu said it had cilantro, which I love, but it was more like a garnish than within the meal. They also very much so skimped on the meat that was supposed to be in the fries. I didn't try the Dragon roll, but was told it was pretty soft, in a bad way. They did however, bring out a birthday dessert, which was kind and appreciated. The menu items here are kind of pricey with many of the appetizer options costing as much as entrée options and the food I'd say is okay. If I ate again at the casino, this restaurant would not be my first choice, but probably not the worst choice either.

    Lunch special Shrimp Chop Suey
    Justin M.

    I decided to try the lunch special today and it was good. I had the Shrimp Chop Suey that came with my choice of soup (egg drop) and crispy noodles. The service was excellent and I was happy with the overall dining experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has an Asian theme vibe that is hip and modern.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, for an affordable lunch this place is worth it.

    To preface: service was amazing. We had an excellent waitress. She was pleasant, speedy, and overall a wonderful server. She did a great job. However, in terms of food... I would not recommend Ume. To anyone, probably. I was excited to hear that they have AYCE sushi ($28/per person), and honestly I wasn't expecting it to be necessarily *good* sushi. I went in expecting to be at least a little surprised that the food was better than I was anticipating, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. Honestly, it was probably the worst sushi I've ever had. I would rather eat at Sushi Garden than have Casino del Sol sushi again. Honestly, grocery store sushi would be better than Casino del Sol sushi. And way cheaper. Let me get in-depth for those who are interested: from the AYCE menu, I ordered the Vegas, playboy, spicy tuna, and spicy yellowtail rolls. Vegas and playboy came first and I was neither surprised nor disappointed about them. They were middle-of-the road sushi rolls. At least the first couple of bites were. After a couple of chews, I noticed that there was way too much rice, making it a hassle to chew. And because it was 90% rice, that's pretty much all I could taste (other than the EXCESSIVE amount of unagi sauce). The Vegas roll tempura fry made the roll feel even more dense with the absurd amount of rice, so it felt gross to eat. The playboy roll used obviously frozen, store-bought tempura, which I wouldn't complain about that if they weren't selling the roll for $15. So, even though I already ate the cost of AYCE with those two very mediocre rolls, I thought I may as well try the other ones since maybe the more simple rolls who taste better. Boy, was I wrong. I ordered spicy tuna and spicy yellowtail--two rolls that I like and figured could not possibly be worse than the other two. But alas; I don't know exactly what they mix with their fish to make the "spicy" flavor, but it definitely wasn't restaurant quality or standard practice. I'm pretty sure spicy tuna (or spicy yellowtail) is made using sriracha and Japanese mayo, but the spicy rolls at Ume seemed to be made from something weirdly sour, but familiar. It kind of reminded me of Tajin? Either way, Tajin-flavored tuna with a thick, THICK skin of rice was just making me sick to eat. I could not finish it, try as I might. I like mediocre sushi sometimes, but this was below mediocre. I honestly feel bad for the fish that was made to make these rolls, which sounds harsh, but I genuinely don't think I could eat here again. Maybe I'll like the Chinese food though (lol).

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Food okay, but was turned off by black goop around bar area[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Ordered a Cadillac Margarita and had to wait while they went to another bar to get liquor.

    Crab Rangoon
    Markiesa B.

    This is more of a 3.5 rating. The bartender was friendly, quick and attentive so no takeaways from the service . I just felt like the food missed the mark with some things. I went during happy hour and for the crab ragoons($5), a shrimp roll($8) and a well vodka and cranberry ($5). The drink was good, the ragoons could've had a sauce on them but instead a dipping sauce came on the side , it was a bit sweet. The ragoons were also a bit too crispy so I had to watch my mouth. The sushi roll was ok I've had better. For this to be a hotel Asian spot I didn't expect top notch so it is what it is.

    Vegas roll

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice atmosphere in this Asian restaurant located inside the casino.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They offer sushi and fairly standard Asian dishes. The server came shortly after we received our menus. We were ready and hungry. We ordered the chicken lo mein, egg drop soup, hot & sour soup, fried rice, & teriyaki chicken. Service was pleasant and quick. The soups came out within minutes of ordering along with won ton strips. The soups were good especially with the won ton strips. Watch out for the hot & sour soup. The heat will sneak up you. My friend was blowing her nose at the end. The entrees came out. My friend's meal was lukewarm at best. She sent it back. The lo mein was meh at best. The chicken was blah as were the noodles. Even with soy sauce, the meal was still average. The teriyaki dish was returned and now hot. It was better but she said the dish lacked taste. Too bad cuz it looked good. I found one slivered carrot and 2 small pieces of cabbage in my meal. A few more veggies might have helped. Shared parking lot.

    This is always my go to when I'm at the casino. I have even made a special trip just for this food! The appetizers are so good and they have happy hour every day! The service is always fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance feels nicer but casual since it's in a casino.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Always look forward to coming here.

    Shrimp fried rice
    A P.

    Ume is located within the Casino. Rosalie waslovely and was very helpful in helping to choose options! Try the calamari, potstickers and crab Rangoon for appetizers. For entrees, we enjoyed the delicious del sol roll (comes to table on , see images), playboy roll, chicken teriyaki, shrimp fried rice, and shrimp lo mein. For dessert, try the cheesecake, lychee panache and the passion fruit gelato!

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.

The menu appetizers include gyoza, edamame, but they also serve Mexican torito--which is a chili pepper stuffed with cream cheese & shrimp then deep fried. I was really looking forward to it but unfortunately the ones I got served were still frozen inside. Unfortunate as the outside coating was perfectly fried and not too oily but I guess that's why it didn't really get cooked the whole way. Now, you'd think I would've left after the not-so-great apps, but def had to stay for the entrees. What's great about this place is really their donburi bowls, specifically, the unagi donburi bowl. Has just enough unagi, maybe a little too much rice but never the less, a really great sauce to tie it together. They've got a slew of fried sushi rolls but I've never really been a fan of those. They also have "teppan" meals which are dishes with your choice of protein served with rice on the side. They also do have nigiri and baked rolls as well. Inside the restaurant, I really liked the fake grass wall with their sign on it and the server was very nice. I would have given them a higher rating but the uncooked torito kinda did turn me off. Definitely would still go to this place and/or order delivery as long as it's the teri/sushi type dishes not the torito. Overall, Terisushi is one of the better Mexican sushi places in town.

    As a chef, I tend to experience restaurants a little differently. I'm paying attention to…read moreseasoning, temperature, texture, balance, consistency, and all the small things that tell you whether somebody in that kitchen actually understands what they're doing. Ikkyu absolutely does. The first thing that stood out to me was the ramen. A good bowl of ramen isn't about throwing a bunch of toppings over noodles and calling it a day--the broth has to carry the entire bowl. This one had the kind of depth that tells you time and technique went into it. Rich and savory without becoming heavy, properly seasoned without tasting like somebody simply reached for more salt, and enough body to coat your palate and keep you going back for another spoonful. That balance is harder to achieve than people realize. The noodles, broth, toppings, and seasoning all worked together instead of fighting for attention. Nothing felt like it was there just for presentation. It tasted deliberate. There's a difference between food that follows a recipe and food that comes from years of repetition, adjustment, and understanding, and Ikkyu tastes like the latter. What I probably appreciate most is that the restaurant doesn't try to disguise itself as something it isn't. It's casual, comfortable, straightforward Japanese food. No unnecessary theatrics. No giant price tag attached to the atmosphere. The focus is where it should be: the food. Service was quick and friendly, the restaurant had that relaxed neighborhood feel, and there's something refreshing about finding a place that seems more interested in feeding people well than trying to impress them with everything surrounding the plate. From one kitchen person to another, I have a lot of respect for restaurants like this. Making something look complicated is easy. Taking something that appears simple and executing it consistently with depth, balance, and flavor is much harder. Ikkyu feels like one of those Tucson places you could easily drive past without realizing how much experience is sitting behind that counter. This is the kind of local restaurant I want to support. Five stars from me, and I'll absolutely be back.
