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!!

Was not very busy at 6pm the ambiance is great, we were greeted right away and taken to our table. The whole process of ordering seemed very rushed and when questions were asked the knowledge of traditional names were lacking such as “Chashu” for the pork belly, or asking if it’s a shoyu broth and being met with “what?” for over $20 a bowl I think it’d be above common to have the knowledge accompanying the price tag. One of our bowls came out incorrectly it only had shoulder and no pork belly, the server fixed it quickly and had a great attitude even apologized for the mixup. The draft beer selection is on point and the Kung-Fu Pandan cocktail is next level good! Also, being able to choose how the gyoza is cooked is such a great thing. (Pan Seared always) thank you for good vibes , delicious food + drinks!

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.

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.

Obon is a clean and happening environment. We went for our anniversary dinner. Nothing offered for our anniversary though or acknowledged. Not a big deal to us but we always at least get a small dessert. Lots of people in the restaurant and waiting outside. They offered low table, high table, sushi bar seating, and outdoor seating. The hostess was very friendly and inviting. Our waitress was also friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive. The sushi was pretty good for Tucson. A little pricey but pretty good. The cocktail's were great. We'll probably be back again.
