Tanuki Sushi Bar & Garden

First time here tonight and it was amazing. I believe it is a family business.We got:Chicken udon, beer, sushi boat.It was a lot of food holy cow.The portions are generous and came with extras we didn't expect.For a landlocked state and small town, the fish was pretty buttery! Tasted fresh. Udon broth was really good, not too salty or bland, just right. Udon noodles were not mushy.Decor: so so so cute. Lots to look at, very quiet warm atmosphere.Service: staff, chef, and hostess were all attentive and sweet. I've been meaning to try Tanuki for a while. The other sushi spots in SV just can't hold a candle to this place and its charm.

Once again found myself here, it seems like something is attracting me here. I find the food to be very appealing and delicious. The selection of food is enormous. All the times I have eaten here I've never had anything that I didn't like. My only complaint is they are closed Monday and Tuesday.

We love this place for sushi! The owner and his wife are so nice and super hospitable! The quality of food was top-notch and the fish seemed to be very fresh. I would highly recommend this place as the best sushi in Sierra Vista and will be coming back again for sure! Thank you, Tanuki!!!!

For the love of sushi, I visited what is said to be the highest rated and best sushi in Sierra Vista. Maybe it is but it was not good for me.The Food. I ordered the Tempura Roll, the King Cobra Roll, Spring Rolls, and it came with a house salad. The Sprint Rolls and House Salad were a decent start. It was standard food fare. When the sushi arrived, I said "Ok...with some energy" because the King Cobra Roll looked like it might be really good. Nope: the unagi was mushy, slimy, and gritty. I ate one piece and I knew. At least the Tempura Roll was edible but it was bland. I only use soy sauce when I have sushi with no taste. I needed soy sauce and the sweet chili sauce from the spring rolls to give it some flavor. Also, the sushi was not cut fully so it unrolled as I grabbed a piece (unsharp knife or warm rice that sat on seaweed too long). $38 total.The Location. It's on the main strip in Sierra Vista.The Service. As stated by most reviewers, the owner and staff were warm and communicative. It was Friday night, it was packed, and I had to wait 15 mins to be seated. I am accustomed to clearing plates as we eat. At Tanuki, it appears as if plates are cleared after you finish with everything.Overall. If I am ever craving sushi again when I am in Sierra Vista, I might try it again but I would make some additions and subtractions to the rolls I order.

I want to love this place, but the sushi is just too inconsistent for it to be a favorite in town with so little options. The first time I dined at Tanuki was absolutely amazing. The sushi was fresh and everything else we ordered on the menu tasted amazing. The second time I went my husband and I were both served sushi that smelled and tasted rotten. It's really hard to go back somewhere when it's left an unsavory flavor in your mouth for the last time. The restaurant is a hoarder's paradise of knickknacks on the walls and the shelves, which looks like it could use a dusting. The owners are warm and friendly. They have always treated us and our children wonderfully (especially with the free pocky). We will be back, but probably not for sushi.

Three of us dined here mid week.staff was friendy.Front dining was full and noisy. Seated in back with alot of knic knacs.Table and chairs are bolted to the ground. It seems they might have been outdoor tables and then enclosed.Food was okay. Nothing spectacular. Appetizer special of 1/2 of 3 rolls was disappointing. Person orderd 3 rolls but wasnt impressed by freshness or presentation of soft crab roll.Miso didn't arrive until entrees.Will probably try somewhere else before spending $80 on dinner for 2 in SV.This place is closed Sunday & Monday and only open for dinner 4:30p-8:00p.

Came with a friend. She likes the teriyaki. Fish is fresh. Eel & miso soup were good. When it comes to the rolls with imitation crab they use the "stick". I hate the stick. IMO it's cheap & nasty & they use too much rice. Not my thing. Probably will try again & order Sashimi, MAYBE

We tried the Kamikaze roll, miso soup, ginger salad, gyoza, and teriyaki chicken- everything was delicious. The service was super nice and pleasant. The restaurant is so generous, lots of character and eclectic. Will definitely be back.

Food is decent. Sukiyaki is a bit too sweet. We eat Sushi all over the country so we are probably not the best at reviewing because on a scale of 1 to 10 this is actually about a 4 on food and a 2 on service. Our server, not one time, checked on us! Not even to offer a go box. Then we waited for 22 minutes with empty plates and he continued walking past. Not sure if there is any other sushi place in the area, but we certainly will be looking.:

Since moving to Sierra Vista from Japan, Tanukis has been my go to restaurant for a Japanese "fix". The food is amazing, and the ambiance reminds me of my dining experiences in Japan. Domo arigato, Maggie-san.
