Smokin Fins

This place is great . It's low key but rather eloquent inside. There's a nice ambience and it's a spot you can dine solo, take your significant other , or even a friends night out! A family occasion here would be great also!I love how they also have sushi rolls, which were very tasty and bundled up with a lot of toppings and fillings. They have a great drink list!

Hubby & I had dinner here tonight for the first time. We had reservations for 5:00. We got there a little early. We were seated promptly.I don't know our server's name because he didn't tell us. I can tell you that we both had empty water cups & empty beer/sangria cups for way too long. It took awhile to get our first & second round of drinks.Had he been more on top of things he would have gotten another round out of us. The drinks were good, and we were there awhile.We ordered the calamari. It was okay until I got a piece overcooked and it was like trying to chew rubber. I was done with it after that. Hubby ordered the Vampire tacos. I ordered the lobster Mac & cheese. Hubby liked his tacos, and I liked the Mac & cheese. It just took a long time to get our meals. I was surprised my Mac & cheese wasn't hot for as long as it took to get it. We were there for over & hour & it doesn't take us long to eat. The bill was $100.15 before the tip. Way too pricey for what we got, and how long it took to get it.There is no reason for us to return.

Came in for happy hour Tuesday afternoon. Happy Hour is from 2-6pm. I ordered one El Diablo and one Vegas Roll. I sat the bar and you must forgive me, I forget the servers name, but she was friendly. There were a few others seated in the bar areaI used to love this place, but the rolls I had today were not as good as I expected or remembered. They were way too big and kept falling apart before I could get them into my mouth.

I do enjoy the food & atmosphere but sometimes the service can be hit or miss & that can set the tone for the experience. On this last trip, we were quickly seated which was nice as there were a lot of people there, but clearly we came during the transition as it took somewhere between 5-10 mins before anyone greeted us. Understandable due to the crowd, but they quickly cleared out and the place was empty, and here we were just looking at one another. THat's when I realized, we may be just an afterthought for the rest of the night. Had the kickin shrimp to start. Things went somewhat smoothly but there was an error with our food order as we requested the mango tacos but instead, the mango tango sushi showed up. That was OK as we ate that while waiting for the taco dish to arrive. The mango tango tacos were good however, the cilantro rice was very odd. I think the cream used just didnt sit well and it wasn't served very hot. I had the dragon roll which was good along with the side of mac & cheese. The mac & cheese is made in-house but it definitely lacked salt, pepper. It needed some seasoning to really give it some pop. The other item we ordered was the noodle bowl but also similar to a few other things, it was lacking a good flavor profile. Trying not to make this place an afterthought, but need the service & food to be on point next go round!

Stopped in to Smokin Fins for an early dinner since it's been quite some time since our last visit. We were greeted and seated immediately by a friendly host followed by a nice waiter. The restaurant is quite spacious although it is a bit dark considering how many windows surrounded our booth seat.We're told the menu may have changed a bit since our last visit which we think was right. We thought there was a little more sushi on the menu but that's ok too.We got a beer and Lavender Haze and opted to skip appetizers and instead went straight to ordering dinner. The Fins Platter shrimp was tasty but he wasn't a fan of the dips. Remember to eat the cod right away next time as it might have gotten a little soggy. Not true coleslaw fans so no comments. The cedar planked salmon was tasty although a little more done than I prefer. The asparagus and mashed potato were good.Service was fast and our orders were accurate. Glad we finished our meals when we did as we were perfectly content and not overly stuffed. It just started to get crowded as we left.We don't come to this side of town frequently but recommend checking them out.

Food wasn't bad, not a lot of Sushi options, and what they have was a little too spicy for my wife. Service was great, quick and attentive. Nice mood in the place, enjoyed watching some preseason football while eating.

Went for lunch on a Friday. The ambiance was great. They have a decent sized menu. We started with edamame which was a large portion and really tasty. We both had the cedar plank salmon. It was interesting because it had bbq sauce on it. I was not a fan of the bbq sauce so I removed it with my fork. Once I removed it, and added a little salt, I really liked the salmon. I swapped the potatoes for broccoli which I asked to be extra well done. They came out al dente but fixed it when I brought it up. The asparagus was the star of the plate. I loved it and I was sad there wasn't more. Next time I will swap out side just for extra asparagus. It's a place I would go back to for sure. Our server was Troy and he was great. He seems very passionate about food and the restaurant. He gave good recommendations and was pretty attentive.

The food was great and the service was beyond expected . My wife. And I sat on the patio so ambiance was perfect. Being that we were outside and as native to Arizona the warm weather is never a problem.

During Arizona Restaurant Week my friend and I look forward to trying new restaurants. Smokin Fins had an interesting menu for this week, so we decided to give it a try. The experience was great, and we'll definitely be back.We wound up ordering the same things. Dinner started with the deep-friend avocado stuffed with crab and lobster. That turned out to be quite filling. Next came honey chipotle salmon. I've never before been asked how I'd like my salmon done, so I played it safe and chose medium. Perfect! And the sauce had just the right combination of sweet and spicy.The sides were broccoli and a potato mash. I did not like the mash as it was just too mushy. However, my friend thought it was good. The manager came by to ask how our dinner was. When I explained about the potato side dish, he offered to replace it with cilantro rice. I appreciated the offer -- good customer service -- but I was getting so full by then I declined. Both of us commented on the generous size of the portions. And by then we barely had space for dessert, which was peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream. We took a few bites, ate the ice cream, and packed up the rest for a treat the next day. Service overall was excellent, the atmosphere warm and friendly.

This was my first visit. I went for lunch and there was no lunch menu. The sushi choices were very limited with not the usual choices of sushi and no sashimi. I had one dish which was a roll which was just ok but not worth twenty dollars. The oysters were good and my grandson ordered the fried chicken with cheese macaroni Which was good. Since my dish was not filling I had some fried chicken I am still not sure what this restaurant is.? Certainly not a sushi restaurant.
