OBON Sushi Bar Ramen

One of the best sushi experiences I’ve had in many many years. This place is not cheap, you’ll typically spend about $50-$100 per person if you have drinks and sushi. But, I would say it is completely worth it for a special occasion or business dinner. The black tea old-fashioned is so good that I was thinking about it days after I had it. All of the mixed drinks that our group had that evening were excellent and we sampled almost all of them. If you can get the sake flight for $40 it is worth every cent. A great selection of Dry to sweet sakes and really does give you a wonderful test group to figure out what kind of drink you enjoy the most. The sashimi is expensive, but the quality is inside the fish. Every piece completely melts in your mouth, and I would highly recommend the yellowtail as well as the scallop which liquefied it was so tender and sweet. The rolls are excellent, a little heavy-handed on spice, but that is OK nothing was over the top. But it would be nice to have some non-spicy special rolls on the menu other than just one. Our server, Brady, was absolutely fantastic. Very professional very attentive and knew all of our answers to the questions we had. I will say that his tables were scattered all over the restaurant, and I could not understand why management was making him run all around, seemed disorganized, but he was quick and attentive throughout the whole evening, including rush-hour. Parking across the street is fine in the parking deck and is the only way really to get there. Uber will drop you off across the street if you’re coming from the north side, which is kind of a pain. But it is a very minor inconvenience and would go back any day anytime.

Every time I visit Tucson, I HAVE to go here. The cocktails are always perfect, the ramen and appetizers are amazing, and the atmosphere is great! I especially recommend their ramen, and I always make sure to get the bird bun. Cannot recommend this place enough!!

Amazing food! Uni is so fresh and everything is so delicately made. The ramen is fantastic and so is the chicken katsu. Definitely get the chicken karage too. It’s so crunchy and flavorful. I love the cocktails too. Very fancy and well presented. Service is just on the slow side so prepare to dine for at least 1.5 hours.

Thank you for the amazing costumer service. We ordered 2 ramen for pick up and they were made incorrectly and one had an item in it that we asked to not be in it due to an allergy. When I called back, I spoke to the manager Anthony and not only did he make things right but he was very polite about it and made us feel like we couldn’t even be upset or mad at the situation lol. Amazing customer service and resolution. Thank you

A friend had tickets to see ExTC (original XTC's drummer's "cover" band) at 191 Toole and wanted to grab a bite before the show. Not wanting to dine too far from the venue, I suggested Obon, Basqueria, or Urban Pita. My buddy picked Obon. He had dined here before; first time for me. A sedate atmosphere, quite welcome when coming in from Tucson's summer heat. The food is good, service was fine. Very clean, with a contemporary hip vibe. Worthy of return visits when downtown.
