Asian Food in Arizona

“We had a wonderful experience at Obon, and Missy was fantastic. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. We ordered the Chicken Teriyaki Bowl, which was flavorful, well-balanced, and cooked perfectly, and the California Roll, which was fresh and nicely presented. Everything came out promptly and tasted great. Between the delicious food and Missy’s excellent service, it was an enjoyable and relaxed dining experience. We’ll definitely be back.”

“Great food and service, enjoyed Kristine’s recommendations a lot. The Kanto beef was my favorite dish, had great flavors.”

“Another unforgettable night at Obon, and once again Melissa made it effortless. She has that calm, confident presence that lets everything else shine while keeping the pace perfectly controlled. We went with the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, and it was unapologetically naughty: crunchy, rich, and layered with just enough heat to make you pause before going back for more. To drink, the Lychee Martini was smooth, slightly sweet, and deceptively strong… the kind that sneaks up on you when you’re already having too good of a time. Obon knows exactly how to behave badly… in the best way. 😉”

“As you can see I already devoured half of it before capturing a photo. I got fried rice, salmon, and broccolini to go and it’s nothing short of amazing! The salmon was cooked perfectly - crispy outside, tender and flaky inside. Chef’s kiss”

“Great downtown location and cool atmosphere. I was greeted immediately and staff was great. It was Arizona restaurant week and ordered off the special menu. Started with Agadeshi Tofu then to the Crispy Trio Sampler. Both had great presentation and fantastic flavor. Main course was the Curry Ramen...this was the standout meal. Authentic flavors and fresh ingredients! Portions were generous I couldn't eat dessert which was included. They kindly made my Miso caramel cheesecake to go. You have to try this restaurant!”

“Obon Sushi in downtown Phoenix is an absolute gem. Every bite was packed with bold, rich flavors, and the pork belly was hands-down my favorite—perfectly indulgent, melt-in-your-mouth, and unforgettable. The dishes feel thoughtfully crafted and balanced, making it easy to taste the quality in every plate. If you’re looking for sushi with depth, creativity, and serious flavor, Obon is a must-visit. 🍣🔥”

“Obsessed with this place!! The yuzu yellowtail was unreal, and the punch bowl was so delicious I wanted the whole thing to myself. Amazing vibes, amazing food, and the perfect spot to bring your friends. Already planning my next visit!”

“This place was highly recommended and yes I would come back! I ordered the Kanto Beef and Neo Genesis sushi roll - it was so good I forgot to take a pic! I recommend the Spicy Salmon Crispy Rice, Shishito peppers, and Pork Belly Bao buns. Portions sizes are huge so you can share them with your group. I will definitely be back here! Anthony was our server this evening and he made sure we were having a great time!”

“Went to an event in Downtown Phoenix, ordered some Ramen online for pick up before close, took it home and grubbed. The to-go bowls keep the broth and food separated so when we were ready to eat it was still fresh. I used to go to Shady Park back in the day for my Ramen and this was definitely on par with the old stuff, plus my wife who has traveled to Japan said it tasted just like what she used to order. We'll be going back next date night.”

“Great staff and amazing food! I’m in from out of town and tried it last night and the ramen was so good I came back again tonight! I would for sure recommend and come back.”

“Best ramen in phx hands down”

“Phenomenal sushi. The freshest fish I've had in AZ. I went with a variety of maki, sashimi and nigiri and everything was excellent. Can't wait to return!”

“Wow, 10/10 experience!! The yellowtail nigiri was incredibly fresh, and the tonkatsu was unreal. Make sure you add the spicy bomb for extra flavor!! Lorina took such great care of us and provided truly exceptional service. She was attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The manager, Po, also stopped at our table and was very welcoming, which really says a lot about the atmosphere they’ve created. We’re so happy we’re only 5 minutes away from us- it’s honestly the perfect downtown spot. Can’t wait to come back!!”

“Omakase was fire, sashimi was ocean level fresh, and the service was excellent! My kids loved everything! Huge love to our waitress, the chef, and the GM. Every one of them went out of their way to take care of us and made the whole night feel special. My heart is full, my belly is fuller, and my personality is now 70% Obon.”

“We went as a big group and had the best time! The food and service were top notch! My favorite was the modern sashimi yellowtail! It was SO good! I don’t usually love sashimi but it was marinated in Yuzu sauce with amazing flavor and was very refreshing! The alcohol menu is unique too I had Kungfu Panda and was pleasantly surprised how crisp and delicious it was! A MUST place to check out if you’re in town!!! Highly recommend!”

“Went to Obon for the first time and it didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere was cozy and the food was delicious. We ordered different sushi rolls to try but my favorite was the sashimi. Melt in your mouth. Highly recommend if you’re downtown and looking for a sushi spot.”
