Came here with decent expectations. However the food wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good either… on top of this my food was cold 🤨 way too over priced for their food options. Barely any meat or tofu and the tofu isn’t even cooked it tasted raw. It’s not bad but not good either. service was very plain with no personality. I will not be coming back.

Food was good, service was good but don’t trust them to make a dining experience or occassion special for you. Hopsitality is nonexistent here. Came for a celebration on the night of my partner’s 30th birthday and confirmed on my reservation that it was a special occassion, our check was $240+ and not a single person acknowledged or greeted him at the host stand or at all during our dinner. We’re both from the service industry and are well accustomed to giving and receiving great service. A hand-shake and “thanks for dining with us” at minimum. And I was surprised the service for a nice restaurant was lacking in this area, we’re new to this city from Atlanta so we’ll lower our expectations for hospitality in Tucson now
Also before writing this review reached out via email to 2 people separately with this restaurant group - no acknowledgement or apology for the issue! Thank you for ignoring us! Again!

We decided to try out Obon because they offered a special as part of the Sonoran Restaurant Week (see photo). We were not disappointed. The food was outstanding. We made a reservation for an early dinner on a Saturday night. As we walked to the restaurtant, we discussed the fact that a reservation probably wasn't necessary because most of the other estalishments along our route were empty. Not so at Obon. Granted we arrived before 6pm and they seem to have a nice happy hour from 4 to 6pm. We were immediately seated and given the menus. After seeing the many tempting sushi and ramon options we struggled briefly wether or not to do the Sonoran special we had come to try. We decided to stick to our plans and ordered a bottle of wine (half price during happy hour) and the specials. We both had the miso soup and a large bowl of steamed edamame, the nigiri (wanted more), and the barbacoa street noodles. For dessert we tried both options and the Tiramiso was the best. Several negative reviews discuss bad service - NOT our experience. Our waitress was great, had suggestions, kept water glasses full, checked in on us during our 90 minute dinner. You have to try out this place! We will definitely come back to try more of the dishes we watched being delivered to our neighboring tables.

Came in for Sonoran Food Week, had the edamame, miso soup, hamachi aguafresca, tonkotsu ramen, and panna cotta. Delicious. Our server was John, who was also the bartender- GREAT service. Very quick, personable, friendly, and nonintrusive. Seemed like he was managing a ton of stuff without breaking a sweat at all. What a great night.
This is some of the best sushi I've had...we go for the happy hour specials and eat like kings. For a reasonable price! The happy hour drink prices and options are solid too. And if you're in to Poke Bowls, you couldn't find a better one than here! It is loaded with salmon and tuna. Like an embarrassment of fresh fish, in a tasty bowl.
This is a fantastic find in downtown Tucson. Highly recommended!
