The fish was really fresh and so far the best I've had in Tucson. Most places in AZ and Tucson struggle to incorporate topping like green onions, yuzu, bonito flakes, and sauces. Flakes knows how to do this well and made the nigiri very tasty. The Hamachi Aburi was insanely good as well as the Hamachi Yuzu Zukuri. Highly recommend trying either!
Service was incredible as well, only one staff member working so it was a little slow but they offered a free drink and edamame with the meal. Service like that is a rarity here and was greatly appreciated. I also ordered take out and every single item was labeled very well and there were even disposable soy sauce dishes which was super nice. Prices are also great, it's consistent with competitors but since the fish is so much better I think you get more than what you pay for.
Ambiance was so-so it is a new place so it's clearly not fully set up yet but the vision is there and it's VERY clean which I appreciate being in a college town. This was also obvious with the fish being very clean tasty and no fishy taste.
I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for some decent quality and fresh sushi here in Tucson. It's still got that college-esque menu but doesn't sacrifice quality for it. Great place, I'd love to see it grow more and gain more business since I'll be coming back for that hamachi a lot!

Would be better with more lettuce instead of only one small decorative piece, and more white rice. Also didn't know it was spicy, but overall it's decent & tasty.
