“Surprisingly the fish at this storage container stand is quite fresh. I got a bluefin tuna hand roll and it was delicious. My husband got the Mt. Fuji Don and loved it. My unagi onigiri had very little eel in it, mostly rice so I would probably not order that again. We came at a busy lunch hour so it was about 30 minutes before we got our food but we passed the time by walking around the other shops in the complex which was nice. I would come back to try more options from their menu.“

“Kiwami Ramen is a nice, simple noodle restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. The menu is small, you order by the number for ramen, and customize it with add ons.Most of the broths are pork based, spouse had the curry #6. Very hearty, curry was mild, plenty of flavor in broth.The one vegetarian option barely satisfied me. They should rethink even offering one. It had a nice complex peppery broth, and included tasty green noodles, salad greens, 1 bit of broccoli, one Brussel sprout cut in half. I added mushrooms, otherwise it wouldn’t have been much of a meal.Appetizer menu was pretty extensive and we tried the pan fried vegetarian gyoza. Six pieces stuffed with edamame and veg. were fabulous and a good dish to share. Washed it down with jasmine ice tea.Will go back and try more apps.Looked like a very busy drive-thru happening.“

“My fave place in American Eat Co! If you've been craving fast, Japanese style fare, hit up Fatboys. Everything on their menu is unique and high quality. My favorite thing is their ebi katsu sando, which is a panko-fried shrimp sandwich that can only be ordered on the weekend. The place is a little pricey for what it is, but you can't beat the flavor or find it anywhere else in Tucson.“

“Authentic. House made tamago and all the ingredients to make a legitimate futomaki… which is rare these days. Nigiri was tasty and the Japanese curry was delicious but I should have ordered it with a bit more heat. My least favorite were the spicy tuna and spicy scallop hand rolls - full disclosure: I alone at the nigiri and curry pictured, so it was likely that my eyes were bigger than my stomach. Definitely worth a stop.“

This roll is esentially a stuffed jalapeño with crab meat and cream cheese. It was awesome, lived it. The lady taking my order was very friendly and curtious even though she had to be stressed from all the people and so many orders to keep track of. I can't wait to try their brick and motar store. I definitely would reccommend that you try this place.“

Prices are reasonable and the ambiance is very nice. Staff are friendly and able to make recommendations on different plates to try. They also sell cultural items and gifts such as different books written in Japanese for $1.00! I highly recommend checking it out! 1370 N Silverbell Road, #180, Tucson, Arizona, 85745.“

“Pretty low key sushi restaurant. I dropped in as it was on the way home. The food quality was good. The fish tasted fresh, was cold, and good textures. I got the combo with a $2 roll upgrade to the spicy tuna rainbow roll. It was cool to see them offering a sushi dish for less than $20 if no upgrades. The restaurant was typical mom & pop sushi spot in a strip mall. The service was fast and friendly. I thought it was cool some of the staff spoke spanish. A man came in who I don't believe spoke english and the staff was super accommodating. Good spot with reasonable prices for sushi.“

“Great Japanese food. Gone there for many years, so many different memories. You have to know what you're getting there- this isn't a sushi restaurant. They have sushi, but that's not their specialty. They serve more traditional, homestyle Japanese cuisine. Some of the best meals are the combination special, the Japanese curry dishes, and any of the rice bowls. And, obviously, the sushi isn't bad either if you want to complement it with one of your main dishes. It's in the weirdest location though, haha- all the other shops are vacant, yet it's in this massive, largely abandoned shopping center. At this point, they should just call the shopping center, the Samurai Center. Tucson institution!“

“I hope you like fish, because we are going underwater for todays review. Sushi Cortaro is the type of establishment which seems to defy the modern culinary epistemology. Enter through the doors of this revolutionary establishment and you immediately get the feeling that this is a liminal space, but simultaneously a place where you can freely express yourself. Sit down in one of the many chairs that populate this experimental new museum of gastronomy and read deeply through the avant-garde yet traditional menu. You may be surprised at some of the options like salmon sashimi and tuna sashimi, and other fish related foods, but remember this is a place where sushi is sold. I think its important to remember that this isn't the kind of place where jazz bands perform, its not the kind of place where you can throw peanuts on the ground. This place is more like the cinema than anything else. You enter this theater of cuisine so that you may be exposed to that which both shocks and delights, that which is both frightening and comforting simultaneously. The food here is like a film by Truffaut. It is pure artistic excellence that will leave you in tears, and have you coming back for more.“

I placed a pick up order and called around pick up time to check on it. A very friendly woman answered and gave me the update….It was right on time. When I picked up I was greeted immediately and the woman who helped me was sweet. I’m assuming it was the same woman I had spoken on the phone with. My rolls and miso soup were quite yummy and they were packaged up so nicely with utensils. Looks like care really went into the order. I was pleased with my first experience and can’t wait for more future visits.“

Food was great again, service outstanding. We had no room for dessert and took leftovers home in a box. The BBQ worked really good at our table. Pork belly, Ribeye and Bulgogi was tasty. Not overly expensive for 4 of us to eat Korean style. Kimchi, salad, corn and the rest of sides, all good. Best part was for a Friday night there was no waiting for a table.They also have sushi and orders they serve that you don't have to BBQ.“
