"**The Food:** I ordered the Tempura Roll, the King Cobra Roll, Spring Rolls, and it was served with a house salad. The Spring Rolls and House Salad were a decent start, offering standard fare. However, when the sushi arrived, I was hopeful as the King Cobra Roll looked enticing. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment—the unagi was mushy, slimy, and gritty. After just one piece, I knew it wasn’t for me. The Tempura Roll was somewhat better, but still bland. I typically reserve soy sauce for sushi lacking in flavor, but I found myself relying on soy sauce and the sweet chili sauce from the Spring Rolls to add some taste. Additionally, the sushi wasn’t cut properly, causing it to unroll when I tried to pick up a piece—perhaps due to a dull knife or rice that had been left on the seaweed too long. The total for my meal came to $38.
**The Location:** The restaurant is conveniently located on the main strip in Sierra Vista.
**The Service:** As noted by many reviewers, the owner and staff were warm and engaging. It was a busy Friday night, so I had a 15-minute wait to be seated. I’m used to having plates cleared as we eat, but at Tanuki, it seems they wait until you’re finished with everything.
**Overall:** If I ever find myself craving sushi again while in Sierra Vista, I might give this place another shot, but I’d certainly make some adjustments to the rolls I choose."
