Samurai Sombrero

5 out of 5 stars Samurai Sombrero is hands-down my favorite sushi spot in all of Tucson! They have an amazing vegan sushi menu that is waaay more than just a plain cucumber roll (though they have that and it’s good). They have genuinely fun vegan options. The Death Free Foodie roll (whatever magic is in that one—it’s incredible!), the sweet potato roll, and especially the fried avocado roll are absolutely delicious. I could eat them every day if I could! I wish I could come here more often because it’s just that good. The sushi bar is tucked inside American Eat Co. on Fourth Avenue, with plenty of parking and a shared space with other great spots. The atmosphere is lively, fun, and welcoming—such a cool vibe. Huge props to the team for being so accommodating to vegans. Definitely 5 out of 5 stars for the incredible rolls and overall experience. Highly recommend to anyone craving amazing sushi in Tucson!

Samurai Sombrero is that unexpected foodie heaven moment you didn’t know you needed — bold mural walls, neon sushi glow, industrial food hall energy — and then boom… vegan sushi that absolutely puts it at the top for me. The rolls are fresh, beautifully plated, and not an afterthought (which matters). Creamy avocado, perfect rice texture, that clean soy dip — it hits. It’s tucked inside American Eat Co., so the whole space is buzzing, casual, unfiltered, and vibey in the best way. You can pull up for sushi, grab a drink, wander the hall, and make a whole night out of it. For plant-based sushi lovers especially? This spot is elite. Total vibe. 🍣🔥

We've been enjoying Samurai Sombrero ever since they used to have their food truck back on 22nd & Pantano. We were thrilled when they moved much closer to us. Gabby is extremely personable and remembers our names and faces just like many of her other regulars too. That alone in the experience makes the food all the more enjoyable. You really cannot go wrong with any roll they serve because in my honest opinion, both Gabby and Chuy are thee place to go for Mexican Sushi in Tucson. It's fresh, it's flavorful, and will keep you coming back for more.

WOW!! I ordered the Ceviche & Sonora Roll as well as the lobster popcorn roll, and the death free foodie roll. They were all amazing, but the sonora roll really stood out to me this time around because of the hamachi, tuna, crab, and shrimp tempura combo that blew me out of the park. Definitely a must visit for Tucson locals, out of towners wanting an amazing mexican Sushi experience !!

Samurai Sombrero is hands down the best sushi in town! This family-owned gem inside the American Eat Co. complex delivers sushi rolls that are consistently fresh, flavorful, and made with so much love. The quality is unmatched, with the perfect rice-to-fish ratio in every roll. Each bite bursts with incredible flavor, and you can tell they take pride in every dish they send out. We live about 40 minutes away, and it’s absolutely worth the drive every single time. Every roll on the menu is delicious, but our favorites are the Sonora, the Sombrero, and the Abigail—although honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of them. If you’re a sushi lover, do yourself a favor and try them all. This place is a must-visit!

They knocked it out of the park again! So glad they brought back their ramen. Honest the best ramen in Tucson. You definitely cant go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything is delicious and huge portion sizes.

Sushi place owned by generous local family who work hard to feed us with so delicious sushi. Everything was fresh , tasty , flavorful , thin layer of rice with lots of filling inside . That’s how sushi rolls Should be ! Thank you so much . Was totally worth driving from Oro Valley .

Every time we go to Samurai Sombrero we are never disappointed. Sushi rolls are so delicious. They are always accommodating if we ask for something specific. Owners are fabulous and kind. It is worth our drive of almost 40 minutes.

I started following Samarai Sombrero Sushi on Instagram originally. At the time they were making their sushi via food truck on 22nd/Pantano area. It was my 1st encounter. Gabby provided such friendly service, I felt I had known her for years! We typically order 4-5 rolls between my husband and myself, but when we opened our takeout they were huge, delicious and succulent! I tend to be a purist when it comes to cream cheese in my sushi and Gabby was quick to offer making them to my taste and preference. What a novel idea! Now they have a brick and mortar at American Eat which is a more convenient location for us. Before, our go to rolls are usually spicy tuna, negihama etc. but we thoroughly enjoy my now go to Ceviche roll. The fusion of Mexican influences contribute to the flavors Samarai Sombrero Sushi is well known for. They are truly on a mission to introduce themselves as true contenders of sushi fusion. The Mexican, La Frida, The Avocado to the simple Spicy Cali all done to perfection, attractively plated as well as providing slightly larger than most average sushi rolls! You definitely get your money's worth here. Gabby and Jesus are the most charismatic and hospitable restauranteurs you'll ever meet, and so deserving of your patronage. I HIGHLY recommend you try Samarai Sombrero Sushi they really aim to please and keep you coming time and time again! I really love these two and all their efforts to earn my business.

This place is inside American Eat Co, towards the far right of the entrance. We were helped really quickly by staff that was friendly. They even allowed someone in a group to make a substitution in one of the rolls, which we appreciated The rolls offered aren't super unique, they mostly consist of the usual suspects you find in most places, but the 4 our group had were all tasty and served at a perfect temp The ones that were fried were not greasy at all but they were super crunchy, and we found the total cost reasonable. I wish the ingredients offered a greater variety because although it looks like they have a lot of rolls to choose from, honestly they all tasted super similar and we had a tough time choosing which menu item to get because we had a hard time seeing the difference between many of the rolls. That being said, if you want tasty, fresh sushi rolls at a reasonable price, this is a great spot.

First time visiting them in this location. They have a counter located inside American Eat Co. The food is still as good, and the service is awesome. I ordered the heart attack for me, but my 7-year old son ate half of it, he loved them,

Finally made it to American Eats Co, and had some of my favorite sushi. I love their sushi. We ordered the Goyza, Fried Avocado roll, Popcorn Lobster roll, and Deep Fried Cali roll, I was so satisfied. I need to make it here more often.

Sooooooo good!!! I keep coming here for the deep fried California rolls, but I just tried the shrimp tempura, and it's a new favorite!!! My partner got the gyoza, and he said it was "incredibly flavorful, juicy, but perfectly cooked".

Fun environment. It is a food hall and not a food truck. We had 2 rolls: spicy tuna and Mexican roll...both were great. The food hall bar had good taps and very reasonably priced cocktails. My wife loved the Paloma cocktail. Definitely would go back and bring a friend.

First timer and new fan!! it's inside the American eatery. I like that the menu is not 20 pages long is easy to read and it has a description of every single item on there we ordered the heart attack roll the Vegas roll and the chile relleno which surprised us because it's almost like a small sushi. It was so cute and delicious. It's a jalapeño stuffed with crab deep fried amazing doesn't describe it. It was beyond. The staff was really nice and friendly fast service also and it's always a fun time to eat at the American eatery. We definitely will be returning.

First time trying out samurai Sombrero! I got the samurai roll and it was so good! I can't wait to go back and try out more of their menu. Highly recommend! I love the vibe of American eat Co and all the food options it has to offer.

The food is good and the service friendly and fasts the portions are larrrrggeee so be warned. Also ask if an item is deep fried if you don't like that. They like frying things even eel

Tried Samurai Sombrero for the first time after seeing it in the American Eats Company a few times. There's always a line, and I can understand why! The gyoza and samurai roll were delicious! My only complaint was the wait time; one of the employees actually came to my table to ask me what my order was again about 20 minutes into waiting, so i suspect my order got lost or mixed up with someone else's. It was a bit frustrating, but after they confirmed my order again the food came out pretty quickly. Otherwise the staff was friendly and there was lots of seating. I'd definitely come back and try another roll sometime!

We tried this place yesterday. My husband and I put the name in maps and it sent us to the old location on 22nd (we didn't know it was an old location). We were determined to find it though! I ended up looking on Instagram for the current address and we made it. The parking was insane, after driving around I decided I would just get it to go... (did I mention we were determined?) the place is fun.. the eat co, so several different foods (restaurants) located under one roof. By the time I started ordering, my husband came in, he was lucky enough to finally find a parking spot! The woman at the counter was so nice and was very apologetic about our plight. We ordered. She gave us complimentary drinks and edamame. We must have looked frazzled lol.. the food was great. Different. Not like any sushi I've ever had. I will definitely be trying them again, there were so many things we wanted to try but we couldn't even finish what we ordered! This is a fun busy kinda loud place, great for families and lots of food choices! We'll be back!

The food court this place is in is very fun and has a great variety of food. I had the vegan mango roll at Samurai Sombrero and it was a delicious alternative to the real thing

Absolutely delicious! The death free foodie roll was one of the best rolls I've ever had. The staff was very kind and working hard to accommodate all of the customers. Gotta go try!

best VEGAN sushi in town!!! support this amazing business. the owner is fantastic and staff is always helpful! recommend the deathfreefoodie roll, famous fried avocado, and really everything I have tried! so great!!!! bring your family enjoy the DJ, men singing and playing guitar, or karaoke on certain nights.

Fellow eastsiders you know it's totally worth the drive! We miss the food truck but you don't have to miss out on the fresh, delicious, un-duplicatable sushi! Plus Gabby and Chuy are such wonderful people you have to go see them We went last night to celebrate our anniversary - got our usual favorites Volcano (heavenly!), Vegas and Dragon rolls and tried the delightfully fresh Ceviche roll with beautiful yellowtail on top. You just have to go!!!

The girl in the register suggested a great roll after carefully paying attention to what i was looking for even though they were externally busy needless to say I get the every single time and now order about 4 times a month LOVE THIS SUSHI

We've been a few times now and love it. The food and service are top notch, best sushi in Tucson

The food was absolutely amazing and the flavors were outstanding!! The service was great very good customer service! I would dine here again and very soon.

I can't stop eating here. I've had 80% of the menu and enjoyed it all. So many contrasting flavors and textures. And Gabi is so friendly. It's hard to go wrong here.

The owner is the nicest human in the world. Creativity is shown through her food. Everything is delicious.

The sushi was fresh and delicious. The staff were friendly, and the service was prompt. Will definitely be returning!
