 Sushi prepared while you watch |
4520 East Broadway Boulevard (Broadway and Swan) Tucson, AZ 85710 United States +1 520 325 6953 |
This small but elegant and Zen-like Oriental eatery in The Midtown Shopping District is a well-known secret among Tucson's sushi aficionados. Watch the chef cut fish and fresh ingredients from the counter seat, or sit at the table and sip a glass of sake while you're waiting for your order, if you don't mind feeling a bit crammed in, that is. Then, if you're into that kind of thing, come back Friday or Saturday for karaoke night. Lunch and dinner menus offer any conceivable Japanese dish: sushi appetizers, full sushi dinners, tempura, donburi. Domestic and Japanese beers are available, as are Chardonnays, Merlots and Sauvignon Blancs, a glass. Review © 2007, Wcities |

...and Poki, too! |
6486 North Oracle Road (Northeast corner of Oracle and Orange Grove) Tucson, AZ 85704 United States +1 520 544 2224 |
With its relaxed ambiance, tasteful and artsy Oriental decor, and most importantly, its tasty sushi, this west-side restaurant is on its way to become one of the leading Japanese eateries in Tucson. Of course, the entire range of sushi cuisine is available but it's the Poki, a Hawaiian marinated seafood dish with radish, sprouts, seaweed, and sesame dressing that takes the prize. It's one of chef Jay Hahn's special creations and it's simply wonderful. Different Sushi combinations are offered for lunch and dinner, with the lunch special presenting a real good deal. Dinner entrees include hot food such as Teriyaki Chicken and Beef Stir Fry. All Japanese beers are available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Where East meets Southwest |
2955 East Speedway Boulevard (Speedway and Country Club) Tucson, AZ 85716 United States +1 520 320 0535 |
There's no other restaurant in Tucson where you can satisfy a craving for sushi and shrimp tostados at the same place and time. Mexican-influenced Japanese cuisine is served with panache by a staff that is both friendly and efficient; the seafood is always fresh. The decor is contemporary Japanese, light and clean. Don buri, chiles, sushi rolls, and the popular greppa (a fish and shrimp dish served with fresh vegetables) are some of the most popular menu selections. The Canaroles a la Diabla, (shrimp with hot sauce), will most likely bring tears to your eyes. Review © 2007, Wcities |
