OBON Sushi + Bar + Ramen at The Grove

Food is average. Not terrible. Not great. Edible.

Food was excellent! So many vegetarian and vegan options, which isn’t common in this cuisine. The only thing is it’s very salty - best ask the server to reduce the salt used. We went on a Saturday night and the servers were overwhelmed- every table was full. They didn’t ask if we wanted a second drink and we had to follow up for some of our dishes. No issue since the food was so good, just something for them to improve on.

Excellent food. The fried chicken buns and sushi are terrific

We had 2 bad experiences at the Obon in The Quarter but decided to give this a try and glad we did. It was one of the best sushi dinners we have had!!!!

Food is always amazing. However, the service was poor. Waited almost 15 min before order was taken.

Great spot

Did not feel welcomed and we sat for awhile before we had to flag someone down to get table service.

The food is overpriced for their offering and the sushi is mediocre.

Did not feel that we got a value on any level. NO plans to return.

Our server was terrific and the food was fabulous.

Long wait to be seated- we were five minutes early, waited to check in for fifteen minutes and then another 20 to be seated. Seemed understaffed for the evening and between take out orders and in person diners it was slow going. I will say though that once seated the service was pretty good and the food excellent.

My family and I have been here numerous times so it was disappointing that this time it was not so great. The restaurant was pretty busy so everyone was running around but it didn’t seem like our server was ever paying attention to us. We ordered sushi and a few meals and the meals came out but the sushi took an additional 30 minutes to arrive. That made half my family eat separately and our server didn’t even address it. Finally the manager came over and told us a chef had cut himself so they were short one and offered to pick up a dish or two- which was very appreciative but it still put a damper on the evening. I wish our server would’ve been more upfront about what was going on so we could’ve ordered something else, but hopefully when we go back it will be a better experience.

Super team and happy hour is a REAL bargain!

Awesome happy hour!

Love Obon! From the Ramen to the Apps, everything is good. Wish they brought the Shishido peppers back!

One of our favorite happy hour spots! Great food, great prices, wonderful atmosphere on the patio and staff is attentive and very friendly! Highly recommend

Everything was delicious. Great vegan options and a fantastic happy hour!

Not great. Maybe the worst albacore sushi I’ve ever had. Not sure what the solution is still looking for a good sushi place in Phoenix Scottsdale area. Sorry I want to support local businesses but you have to meet me half way. Also the host was a dbag. He had attitude. Not helpful.

Lovely place, great service and superb food! We arrived near closing, service was very fast and pleasant. The spicy ramen is slightly on salty side.

Overall OBON had good food and the ambiance was very comfortable. Ramen is definitely the best choice. Sushi was good but you can kind much better in the area. Service was disappointing since it took 15-20 minutes just to get our drinks. Not sure why?

Delicious food! Everything I have ordered is spot on! Ramen, sushi. Sashimi and golden chicken w curry sauce! Love this place!

Hands down one of the best restaurants in Scottsdale. I have been here now three times and have tried numerous menu items. The food is such high quality and consistent and that’s what keeps me coming back. Can’t wait to return!

Amazing! Watermelon Margarita is to die for!

This restaurant was an absolute gem to say the least. Our waiter was outstanding, he was so gracious and brought out our dishes at such a lovely timing, as we were trying many things off the menu, so it was perfect. I highly recommend this lovely place.
Delicious food~ beautiful professional service~ great ambience~
I had an out of town guest, he's still taking about it.
Thank you!

very interesting menu- and very good food in a casual setting- i do recommend it

Great menu. Service could be better. Easy parking.

The food is unbelievable. I’m making this restaurant a monthly occasion if not more. I can’t wait to try all of their food items!

Great service and nice place to go for sushi

So happy to have the best ramen in town!

We love coming to this place. Their ramen is the best in town! Rolls menus could stand to make some improvements, but it’s okay for now. We are so glad they opened up this branch closer to us.

Great Ramen in a great atmosphere. LOVED the 64 degree egg. Noodles were perfect.

Sushi was top rate, sake selection was excellent and server was personable and knowledgeable.

Great service - super quick.
Specialty sushi - outstanding
So was veggie ramen.
Jackfruit buns are crazy good!!!

Kelsey at the bar was great.

This is a great casual place with fresh innovative food, fun ambiance and friendly service. We will be back!

Lovely waitress! Helped to understand menu but should have warned us that the Nerd Cocktail was so named because of the huge amount of Nerd candies piled on what might have been a long let cocktail down beneath the candy! The bird bun was very good but quite small. We each had the Odon ramen but one was subbed out the spicy chicken for plain ground chicken. Both soups were spicy however. The soup included a slice of pork belly, a few mushrooms and some ground chicken. Ninety percent cent was ramen noodles and they became a bit monotonous. I guess we felt that $15 for a bowl of ramen soup, served with a plastic soup spoon , chopsticks and a paper napkin on a Formica table was a bit overpriced, especially considering that there was music filling the air. We had had a roll at the Scottsdale Quarter for lunch and enjoyed our experience, but this place is devoid of atmosphere. I felt I had been seated in a fast food place. As Happy Hour had ended at six, our cocktail and beer, together with the bun and two ramens became a $65 check.

I really enjoyed the happy hour menu, a ton of options. It was a group of 8 of us on a “quadruple” date. Food and drinks were amazing. Ambiance was good. Service was good, but I felt like could have been a little better as far as being happy to be there, and setting up the tone for the “personality” of the restaurant. But everyone has bad days so I wouldn’t let that affect me going back.

Waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful. Street noodles were awesome!

Unbelievable sushi and fun cocktails. I will definitely be back.

Good menu. Irregular service. Overpriced for food and dining experience. Happy Hour is more appropriately priced.

Ramen was delicious

Obon is the best!! Definitely try the calamari and one of their ramen dishes - YUM!
