An update: we ate there again tonight. We had the gyoza instead of the
tempura, and it was both considerably better and less filling. We ordered
pretty much the same selection of sushi (it's not a buffet, but you order it
from the sushi chef). We sat at the bar and ordered on a paper list.

Almost everything was very good--at least as good as the first time. The
only thing I thought wasn't up to snuff was the tako, which was tasty, but
on the chewy side. I think it was cut too thick.

Once again, for 20 bucks, I think it's an outstanding bargain.

this is the one on Speedway? I think it was you that clued us in to
Sushi 10 some years ago ,man those were big pieces. But it was a nice
discovery when visiting from San Diego to see family, and now a Wildcat
student son. Will have to try it again.
Growing up in Tucson that was next to the Midway Drive in. hmmm
Boone's Farm Apple Wine, burrrp, oops never mind.

No, the Sushi Hama on Speedway is the place that used to be Sushi Ten. I
haven't tried it yet, because the one I reported on is closer to me home.
It's on the corner of Sabino Canyon Road and Tanque Verde, and is the place
that used to be Yuki.

I think there are now three Sushi Hamas; the original one on Oracle, the
one on Speedway, and this one. I've eaten in two of the three and they are
very similar, so I assume the third probably is too.

Could be, but sorry, I don't remember.

They sure were. Actually too big, for my taste.

Ok, never ate there, but even closer to my parents house in the River
Rd And Craycroft area. Will definitely have to try it out next time
over. Thanks for Tucson info. Though I think I look forward to the
carne seca and green corn tamales on Tucson visits as much as
anything.

Sushi in a place like Tucson is never going to be outstanding. I'm happy
that there's any and I'm very surprised (and happy) that it's as good as it
is. When we first moved here, I thought I'd have to go back to New York for
sushi.

I don't know where you live, but if it's in a major metropolitan area like
New York, San Francisco, or Los Angeles, the sushi you're probably
accustomed to is much better than anything you can find in Tucson. If I were
you, when I visited, I'd concentrate on the Tucson specialties like the
carne seca and green corn tamales you mention, and have the sushi at home.

But if you'd like to try the Sushi Hama on Sabino Canyon Road, let me know
the next time you're in Tucson. Perhaps we can go together.
