Kintaro officially soft opened on Oct. 29, offering Tucson an all-you-can-eat sushi and other Japanese dishes.
The restaurant at 5975 E. Speedway Blvd. previously housed a location for Serial Grillers and Lotus Garden, which remained open in Tucson for over 50 years.
Guests can order sushi, sashimi, and hibachi dishes directly from the menu. The concept keeps every item fresh and made to order.
Lunch is served Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m. with pricing as follows:
Dinner is available Monday through Thursday from 3:30-9:30 p.m., Friday through Saturday 3:30-10 p.m., and Sunday from noon-9:30 p.m. with pricing as follows:
Kintaro’s menu features an array of nigiri, sashimi, and specialty rolls such as the Kintaro Roll and Rich Roll. Diners can also enjoy soup and salads, appetizers, “hibachi” plates (here, it means stir-fries served with fried rice and mixed vegetables; don’t expect tableside teppanyaki) with shrimp, chicken, steak, or salmon, noodle soups (ubon and soba), and Japanese mochi ice cream.
The dinner menu exclusively offers sashimi along with additional appetizer and roll options.
All food on the menu is included in the all-you-can-eat pricing, except for a couple of special rolls on the lunch menu and beverages.
(Editor’s Note — Recent reviews indicate a wait as long as two hours during peak times, so I visited around 3:30 p.m. in an attempt to avoid waiting. There was still a short line, so I snapped a couple pics of the interior and then left. The reviews seem to consistently indicate the food quality is worth it though, so I’ll swing back another time to try it out.)
