OBON Sushi Bar Ramen

We had to walk through a strange gusty sandstorm to get here from our Airbnb. I literally had sand in my hair, eyes and mouth. That's Tucson for ya. Craving some Japanese food, I'm glad we found this place.We were greeted by a lovely hostess that was also our waitress. She was extremely attentive and came by often. We wanted a super light dinner so my son ordered an assortment of sushi. I wanted an eel and cucumber roll that was not on the menu. I appreciate that the sushi chef was able to make it for me upon request. I was surprised that it came rolled in brown rice. It was actually delicious. We all enjoyed the steamed edamame as well. Great spot in downtown Tucson. Ambience offers that sexy chic vibe.

My experience at Obon Sushi Bar was mixed. The service and ambiance were trendy and attentive, which I appreciated. However, I only ordered the ramen and felt very indifferent about it. It didn't seem particularly fresh or special and was overly spicy. The pork was also flavorless and had a flaccid texture, lacking the crispy, well-cooked quality I was hoping for.Given this experience, I'm not sure I'll be returning to Obon. Perhaps their sushi is better, but the ramen just didn't hit the spot for me, so I can't recommend it based on my visit.

Everything was great!!You won't be disappointed!Chicken teriyaki was excellent And the tempura sushi was greatSalmon poke bowl was great also

Came here on a Saturday night and loved it! Food and service were both speedy and great. Eel nigiri was to die for and had some spicy rolls that also hit the spot!

Obon was so good that we went twice this last week. I love the location being at Scottsdale Quarter, in the middle of the shopping and people watching. We braved the heat to sit on the patio and enjoyed a beautiful Scottsdale day. Our favorites: Tonkatsu Ramen with pork and the Bird Bao Bun (Korean fried chicken). I plan to return to try more bao buns, the trio of crispy rice, and the signature cocktails.

OBON was such a fun sushi spot to visit while I had family in town. The fish tasted so fresh and the drinks were yummy to go with! The spicy tuna crispy rice was so delicious I would go back just for that! We also tried a pork bao bun which was also super tasty. My favorite roll was "The Strip" roll which is basically a Las Vegas Roll but elevated. I will definitely be back to try out their ramen next time! Great food and great service overall.

A nice place that combines sushi with ramen and some very good speciality menu items that has plenty to satisfy everyone.Food quality was excellent, service was very good and the ambiance upscale, but comfortable.A standout was the Kanto Beef: flank steak with broccolini, onions, garlic in a sweet, slightly spicy sauce.As a side note, the excellent service dropped a notch when we were left waiting for the check to be processed for over 10 minutes, but I'll assume it was just a glitch.Yes, I'd definitely return! :)

Food: the food was so good! The only regret that I have is not ordering more and trying more dishes! The sushi was a good amount of fish and rice and the salmon was so juicy and flavorful!!! They also had some fusion dishes that we tried which were their sandwhiches one was spam and the other was a porky belly! Sooooooo good! Service: the service was so good! Since we dined outside I truly believed we were going to be ignored but that was not the case! Our waters were always filled and we always saw our server checking in on us! Ambiance: when we arrived they were a bit busy indoors but it was such a perfect weather to eat outside so we dined on the patio. The partitions are perfect you get the perfect amount of outside

Celebrated our anniversary! So a bit of nostalgia for us as we have not been here in a couple of years. And we wanted to relive one of our first dates. My boyfriend was not very adventurous with Asian cuisine but he has improved so much!!! We were able to explore of the menu and I have never been more proud of him. We started off with three of the four bao. We chose pork, chicken, and Jack fruit. Each bao was full of flavor, the meat was tender, and the bao itself was soft and perfectly steamed. We each got our own rolls and a hand roll. The fish was fresh and we never tried a hand roll before and we are major fans now! Then to finish off our meal we spilt the tonkotsu ramen. The shredded pork was beyond delicious and the broth was hot, creamy, salty, and just prefect umami. I'm so glad we were able to go back and re-experience this place. We will be back!

Great sushi, great chicken, and GREAT pork buns! The sushi here is fresh and delicious. Ambiance is excellent. This restaurant is nice and tastefully designed. Service was fantastic.
