QQ Revolving

We been here a couple of times before and decided to go 1÷16÷2016 Saturday the place wasn’t so busy. First thing we noticed the price increased from $ 17.99 to $ 18.95, no big deal food costs are going up. We had a party of 4 adults and 1 child, which was our 5 year old and she doesn’t do sushi, so the last couple of times we just get the tempura shrimp which normally was a green dotted item on their picture train of stuff to eat and we pay the $ 3.25 extra on the side for her. So we ordered the shrimp for her and 8 other different sushi items and we got first a shrimp tempura sushi after about waiting 15 to 20 minutes. So there was only 4 sushi on the small plate and then we waited and waited and waited. About 10 minutes later dropped another 4 piece sushi plate and we waited and waited then again just a 4 piece sushi plate again! We asked the server what about my daughter’s tempura shrimp iand she said ok and a few more minutes she dropped off her shrimp and then we finally got a big plate of five different sushi covering the plate. Wow very slow service. Slow Drink refills which was only water and had little to no ice. We then finally got the bill and they charged us for rice $ 1.50 (which we didn’t get or order) 2 tempura shrimp $ 6.99 and shrimp tempura $ 6.99 plus the 4 @ $ 18.99 meals. I asked the server what’s all this? She said the fried tempura shrimp are no longer part of the all you can eat. But the last time it was. So we waited to see the picture to come around on the train and the green dot was gone. Nothing was on the picture. Crap. We didn’t even notice the dot was gone. So I then asked why where we being charged for the rice and shrimp tempura roll? Then she said your daughter ate it. No she only ate fried tempura shrimp. But the shrimp tempura was on all you can eat! It’s crazy when a restaurant changes for stuff you didn’t get and changes stuff off the all you can eat menu and doesn’t make it easy to know the prices have changed until the bill comes! Our server was the owners sister and she was hard to understand and
Then I had to go to his wife and argue my point of the over charges. She said its on the menu, we told her we didn’t use the menu because we got all you can eat! Told her she should put the price on tempura shrimp picture so customers would know that they would be a $ 6.99 fee. She just looked at me. She finally corrected my bill after pleading my case. She removed $ 15 of over charges! We did pay the extra $ 6.99 for my daughter’s food which she did eat. But the increase from $ 3.25 to $ 6.99 is big jump in price from 3 months ago. I would keep a eye on your bill! Not sure if we’ll go back after this. Sad.

I like the idea of a revolving sushi bar-​pictures of the sushi revolving around with a price specified and you just take the picture for your server to get. However I came in for a quick lunch that ended up taking an hour and a half during a non-​busy time. The server was also extremely unfriendly and seemed to have no idea what to do with more than one table.
The sushi was delicious but it easily fell apart.

First, there is NO revolving sushi anymore! We were disappointed when we entered and saw only revolving pictures on the conveyor belt :(
The concept needs a revision. There is a menu to order from, and you can grab photos from the conveyor belt only if you are doing the all-​you-​can-​eat. Lunch all-​you-​can-​eat is 12.95 but you can only grab photos of certain colors… dinner is 18.95 and well worth it since you can grab any of them! You grab the photos you want, and then the waitress hands them to the sushi chef (essentially it’s a slightly more hands-​on form of ordering sushi…)
I came with a group of 4, we all did the buffet and tried a LOT of different sushis which was fun. Their specialty rolls were all really really yummy and tasted pretty fresh. There are a few sashimi items which are included as well which were really good. I recommend AGAINST their fully tempura’d rolls. Normally that’s a highlight for me, but something is wrong with their batter and the shells were like a soft egg-​rolls. The rolls with just some tempura’d items inside them were totally fine and delicious.
It was empty when we came at 6pm on a Friday night, but filled up to 6 tables by the time we left at 730 pm. Food was quite slow since there was only 1 sushi chef, which doesn’t seem to work with tables that are all ordering buffet style — but I guess it worked out to pace ourselves between the large plates of sushi!

for Tucson AYCE this place is pretty much the best value. Most places skimp really big time for their AYCE orders, this place does not. No limits on certain rolls, everything as it is whether or not you get AYCE and pretty darn tasty. It is not the best sushi in town but it is the best AYCE sushi in town. Blows places like Sushi Garden out of the water (not that that is that hard). They have some pretty great creative rolls, and they don;t stuff everything with cream cheese and imitation crab. Now having a walking distance decent sushi to me is like a dream come true (Fuku sushi is not worth ever even trying to eat at haha) so now I have a place I love next door, awesome!

I was here on Saturday for lunch. Hoping that since this was right before a UofA game that the place would be busy. I was expecting, and sadly disappointed, the conveyor belt to have food on it. Since there were only 6 people in the place, it was understandable that they didn’t fill the conveyor. Why put hundreds of dollars of food on it when it would just go to waste. I can’t say if during busy times they use it or not. What was on there were laminated placards with pictures of the sushi as well as other non perishable products.
Ok so I got over that minor snag and just ordered through the waitress. She was one of only two people working there and she was a little hard to understand. Sushi came out and the albacore tuna was stringy and had an odor to it. I didn’t eat it, but the other sushi was fine. Small portions, but it was fine.
I like the concept of this place, but struggling to find parking isn’t worth it.

I’ve been here 3 times and I probably won’t go again. The first time I was really happy with it because they actually had food on the belt and the owner was our waiter… the second two times, no food on the belt and terrible service. Yesterday, I went with a friend and her 4 year old daughter for lunch; the waitress was not only so incredibly rude but actually yanked the soy sauce bottle from my friend’s kid and scolded her for touching it. Literally no reason behind that; she was just being good and wanted to pour the soy sauce for us, but no, the waitress decided to scold her. I didn’t see a manager or the owner or else I would have said something.

The service here is not as good as I hoped. For starters, their servers are really stuck up and act as if you’re annoying them for wanting to eat here. I asked for chili sauce but didn’t get it until I was done. My girlfriend got her food 10 minutes after I finished. The sushi was pretty good, they just need better servers.

Getting better, but its still more a novelty than good sushi
Everything ordered off the menus is excellent, but thats not the point of this place. If inwanted tonget great sushi off a menu inwould have gone to sushi cortato

This place isn’t my favorite in terms of taste but it is most certainly very clean and very cheap which makes me a fan. I still prefer Yamato and or sushi on oracle, but this place caters to a different crowd. If you want something fast and cheap this place is definitely it. Their chirashi plate though was a little pricy for what it was, considering that the rice wasn’t even sushi rice. Overall this place is the best sushi option that is walking distance from my house, so I definitely will be back.

I don’t like that it’s by the U of A because I am not a fan of hanging around students. I would probably try it again though because I was feeling very ill when we went so I basically got boring sushi as to not upset my stomach. My boyfriend’s sushi looked pretty good. We didn’t get to try the revolving sushis because there was hardly anyone there. The water was not good.

Good food and really well presented! Can’t beat all you can eat sushi for 13 bucks during lunch.

I hadn’t had revolving sushi since my days in Okinawa, so I was pretty excited to try this place out. We got there just before 5 and there weren’t a lot of people there yet, so the sushi understandably wasn’t actually on the conveyor. Instead, there were cards featuring the different sushi dishes along with the different drink options, including Ramuné soda and Japanese green tea.
Anyway, we dined on our sushi as we were serenaded with what was apparently either a Britney Spears greatest hits CD or a some sorta playlist of radio station created by someone who was a huge fan of hers. Now, while I can certainly do without a Britney Spears music marathon as part of my dining experience, one thing I now cannot do without is the Phoenix roll. The sushi here is pretty solid, but the Phoenix roll is on it’s own level.
Anyway, it now says I wrote the pants off this review so, TL;DR– Great place for sushi, try the Phoenix roll. Fair warning, you might hear a lot of Britney Spears

My man «dragged» me here saying he had a bad experience but we should go anyways (lol I’m always down for sushi so why not)
Place looked nice clean and EMPTY! Not only the restaurant but the belts (its a revolving sushi bar) were empty too. (In my mind I said «great! For the love of sushi»)
We were seated quickly and ready for a bad experience but honestly it wasn’t that bad… The prices are definitely higher than what I am used too for a revolving sushi bar but I still love the idea…
My favorites were the Sexy roll! And the Sake roll!
Our server was super nice and helpful.
Since the belts were empty we had to order our last two rolls that we wanted but it was totally fine.
It ended up to be a nice experience!
Ooh and mochi ice cream! Yummmmm
(FYI the mochi ice cream was over prices I can get a whole box for about 4 bucks and We got two for $ 3.25…but it was yummy!!)

I’m not used to the whole rotating sushi bar, but I got to say this is one rotating sushi bar that I would like to go to. The prices are right, the sushi rolls are awesome, and everything is at its own price. I used to go to Fuku Sushi before, but after coming here I’m glad to see that the competition for best sushi bar is heating up and this is the winner by default. Great job QQ Sushi!

Awesome concept for sure. I like how there are drinks on the revolving conveyor belt. There are small plates that have their specialty rolls, fruit and appetizers. There are different colored plates to choose from that reflect different prices.
I tried all the specialty rolls and the eel nigiri that passed by, tasted decent. As for the freshness of the fish, I can not say because it seems to sit on the conveyor belt for who knows how long.
The majority of customers were University students and your typical fraternity bros’.
I would return with friends if they wanted to try it out.
Me and my Japanese fiancé prefer Sushi on Oracle or Sushi Yukari on craycroft and river for a more authentic Japanese experience.

I’ve been to another place similar to this one in Phoenix, so when I heard they opened a revolving sushi place here in Tucson, I really wanted to give it a try. It’s a neat concept. Sushi is made at the sushi bar, and small plates of sushi or appetizers are placed on conveyer belts that go around the restaurant. As the plates come around, you can grab whichever type of sushi/​appetizer you want. Each plate is a different color, which determines how much it costs. A color guide is up on all the tables to help. Most dishes have about 4 pieces of sushi. If the sushi that comes around is not what you like or if you can’t wait, you may also order off of the menu. The sushi is quite good. Every sushi place I go, I order the spider roll (it’s my fave). My spider roll was yummy! (Totally forgot to take a pic cause I was hungry, lol.)
All in all, QQ is a pretty cool, hip place to hang out and get some sushi! The servers & the sushi chefs are nice & friendly too. There’s free WiFi, and it’s conveniently located in the University area for students. Parking can be a bit tricky as there’s a lot of other little restaurants & businesses in the vicinity. Definitely worth a try! I’ll be back for sure!

What a fun novelty in Tucson. Sit and eat, and have plates of sushi on plates rotate right by you. As soon as I heard Tucson’s QQ Revolving sushi opened I had to go. The only other revolving sushi I’m aware of is in Phoenix and now that my husband doesn’t work in Phoenix we don’t go. So last Tuesday after 2 weeks of respiratory illness, I finally had the strength to treat myself to a new adventure. QQ Revolving sushi is off of Tyndall in the University area, and it was easy to find, and also I scored a spot on the street right in front of the restaurant at 5pm. The place was empty with the pick of the place and the owner and staff fully at our disposal. So I know the excellent experience we had was all about timing. Basically, they have a menu of Japanese food, sushi and sushi rolls. The big awesome concept of QQ revolving is that there is a winding conveyer belt that winds along the entire restaurant past all the tables. On this belt are placed colored plates with clear covers over them with various sushi, salads, Japanese soda drinks, bottled coffee drinks, deserts or 4 pieces of sushi rolls on them.. There is a legend at each table clearly marking the price for each plate color, ranging from items on white plates being $ 1.99 all the way to items on black plates being $ 5.99; they add up the colored plates in your stack at the end of your meal. So you can try 4 pieces of a roll, and if you LOVE it, you can order an entire roll for yourself from your server. So there are cute little signs advertising say a «Dragon Roll» with a picture of the roll, then they usually will have 4 plates trailing behind the sign. You pick up what you want, with a constant stream of food following along your booth during the meal.
In past experiences, we have waited for rolls to revolve by only to have another table or diner pick up 2 – 3 plates of the roll we wanted. I’m guessing this must happen constantly on a busy lunch or dinner service. The food plates are placed on the belt by the sushi chefs and also from the kitchen. For me it’s hard not to keep my attention off the stream of food coming and coming and coming while i’m eating. QQ Revolving is a great experience, with an open space that is very enjoyable to eat in. I can’t wait to go back.

Nice place. As an avid sushi fan, I am very pleased that this restaurant has opened up close to the campus (the only nearby place is Fuku sushi which is probably the worst «sushi» I have had here in Tucson).
They have a ton of options on the menu. The revolving bar passes around all sorts of appetizers, sushi rolls, desserts, fresh fruit, and beverages. What’s great is that instead of ordering a full Dragon Roll for example (let’s figure about $ 9 or so), you can grab a smaller 3 – 4 piece «snack size» version for a fraction of the price. I really like this because you can sample an entire assortment of rolls and sushi which is excellent. If you do want a set of full sushi rolls, they have a full menu (the Pink Lady with spicy tuna and eel was delicious) and will gladly make your order fresh on the spot.
Prices extremely reasonable. Tons of options. Relaxing environment. Awesome lunch specials (2 rolls for $ 9 with miso soup and salad). Definitely worth checking out. It’s a new hot spot of mine and will be– especially when I’m on that side of the campus. A must try!

I visit this place a lot just because it’s so close to campus & my house. It’s kind of hard to see the place since it’s around the corner. Because they’re new they make some minor changes in the sushi and food (i.e they added flowers on the dishes once then added better signs etc). It’s kind of random when they give you miso soup or edamane which I find kind of odd, courtesy of the owner.
The revolving bar won’t be as busy unless they have a handful of people inside. If so, I enjoy the fact that they offer half sizes of their rolls for a plate price and they just hand it to you.
Sushi: I’m no sushi expert, but I enjoy their rolls. Dynamite & Sweetheart are my favorite. The tempura crunch isn’t as crunchy as other places though which kind of bother me. Other than that their other rolls are alright.
Food: My friend ordered the gyoza once and I swear it looked like it was straight microwaved out of the kitchen and onto her place with the price tag of $ 5. For that much I would rather just make my own. I haven’t had any of their other food since I’m scared it’ll be the same.
Service: The girls there are really nice and happy to serve you. No complaints.
Price: 3 plates of a green or a blue plate can easily get you up to about $ 14 w/​o tip. So be careful if you just want sushi as a snack or something, the prices can add up.
Overall, the location and how easy it is to get sushi will make me come again. They’re not overly fancy like RA Sushi up north. It’s fun to hang out and eat.

Finally! We now have a revolving sushi joint in town! Nothing like having to drive up to Tempe just to get a Teharu fix time and time again.
And thank you for opening up near campus! Because we do not, and I repeat, do not have a decent Japanese restaurant nearby. The best UA-​area sushi joints are at least a couple of miles away from the center of campus. Seriously. I don’t care what you’ve been told but, if you are on campus, the best nearest spot is a little drive down Campbell to Sushi Cho, or down Speedway to Kazoku or Sushi Ten.
Now to sit back and see if this place will stick.
QQ opened just this month, and I have now been just a couple of times. Even though the prices are tad bit more than I would like to pay, I’m a fan. Sure, they have a few important things they must sort out, but I am absolutely loving what I have seen so far.
Service — on point. I haven’t had any problems whatsoever in this department. The folks are cordial, welcoming and very helpful. They will help walk you through the menu with no problem, even helping when you have strict dietary restricts. Love that. Might be the excitement with a new establishment, but it may also just be how QQ handles business.
Space — I like the feel of QQ. It’s spanking new, so everything is nice and glossy. But it doesn’t feel too-​too displaced. I appreciate the large windows, and you have the option of sitting near the rotating belt, off to the side at standalone tables or at the bar (*NOTE: They do not yet have their liquor license — should be coming in March — so no beer or wine yet).
Food — Again, I am thrilled to absolute teeny weeny pieces that Tucson has a new revolving sushi place. I was so happy to walk in and see the conveyor belt going. But, the belt was so, so very bare when we arrived. We had to order most everything from the server. Later in the evening (after 7), things began to pick up. I get it. This place is not yet known, so you don’t want to have your sushi rotating for hours with no eager hands pulling from the belt. Case in point: we did sample a dish that simply was not fresh at all — the seaweed salad was just so so. But we thoroughly enjoyed most everything else:
Happy hour is offered daily, 3 – 5 p.m.
General prices are generally between $ 1.75 and $ 5.25, but there are a number of other menu items, some of them more pricy, including the calamari, shrimp tempura, soft shell crab, pepper tuna, spicy tuna and albacore, yellowtail jalapeño and other offerings.
The mackerel was creamy, but not as rich as, say Sushi Ten or Sushi Cortaro. Still good, though.
I loved the signature roll, which had a bit of black tobiko on top. Luscious!
The salmon roe was quite good — but the chef provided a tiny sampling of roe, so it did not have the balance of flavor. Nice, tidy wrapping job, though.
The salmon is sliced at a strange cut, but the flavor is nice.
You can order from the menu either two nigiri (which they simply call «sushi» — which is confusing) or three slices of sashimi per order.
There are a couple of television sets, which is hugely distracting.
Sadly, the restaurant overextends itself in a couple of areas — you get way too much garnish (tiny shards of lettuce, which is actually food) and toooooo much wasabi. Hopefully they will scale back on such things because the presentation is not necessary, and it would be best to have people ask for more wasabi than to leave a mound of waste.
I will be giving this place another go, and keeping an eager eye on the restaurant’s popularity.
