The Scene – Nestled amidst the collage of sports memorabilia and photographs that surround guests is a dance floor. Photographs depict owner, Mr. An, with family, friends and famous figures like Sammy Sosa and Mark McGuire. The sleek bar annex contains plenty of televisions broadcasting the best sporting events. When the games die down, the floor is cleared to make way for dancing. – – The Food – Sushi selections include hamachi kama (broiled yellow fin) with ponzu sauce or the Vegas roll (deep-fried with cream cheese, avocado and salmon.) The teppan chicken, steak,…
Editor's Tips
- Happy Hour:
- Includes a Japanese-style food buffet from 4pm-7pm. If you're not fond of sushi you will only be able to take advantage of the $1 off all well, wine and drafts.
Specialty - Poor , service, . .no . . make it TERRIBLE!

My wife and I went there, and as we walked in, we walked right by two waitresses who said absolutely nothing to us! We stood there for a minute and they didn't say anything, so we asked them, " Are we suppose to seat ourselves?" . . one just looked at us and told us to sit where ever we wanted. We were the only ones in there. We sat there for 10 minutes while the waitresses talked to each other and totally ignored us. I finally went over and asked one if I could get a menu, and she handed me one. Another 10 minutes, and no one ever came over and asked us if we wanted to have something to drink, or whether we were ready to order, . . NOTHING! The wife and I finally just got up and walked out the door, right past the two waitresses, and they never said anything to us! Never tried the food, but if it isn't any better than their customer service, I would expect food poisoning.
Don't go at lunch, you can't get service

Arrived at 11:15 and waited 5 minutes to be seated. Waited 10 more minutes to get a waitress even though we were alone. Went downhill from there. Staff was busy eating so we could not get service. Finally at 11:45 we had our soup and salad, but it didn't taste right. We were at teppan grill with no cook so we decided to leave.
We used to love this place, but in the last year it has changed. The bar service is magnitudes better. I would skip the soup and salad and eat my entree in the bar.
It seems like the soup and dressing recipe has changed for the worse. We will eat entrees at the bar--great Sakura Wine.

My experience here was extremely enjoyable and memorable. It was my first time at this establishment and went for my birthday to do something special.
The staff went out of their way to make sure I had a good time for my birthday and they even did something unique during the teppanyaki. The fried rice was extremely fresh and so was the sushi. It is in a nice location of Tucson as well. Right across the street you can play miniature golf, or hit the arcade.
The chef was very energetic, and extremely skilled during the service. He made us laugh a few times and the waitress was very accommodating and friendly. I give it 5 stars for anyone who enjoys Japanese and Asian cuisine. A definite must-see for me, as one who enjoys both. I recommend it to ANYONE.
Nice service

Went there looking for some good sushi... left with a stomach ache. Sushi wasn't well made, we could not even finish the rolls :(
- Pros: Nice staff
- Cons: Horrible sushi
