On a Roll sushi opening Downtown
Tucson, Arizona | Published: 09.17.2008
On a Roll will finally throw open its doors for business Monday morning at 11.
“We’ll be serving mainly sushi, but we’re not a traditional sushi bar. My husband is Hispanic, and he throws in some Mexican flavors,” said Teresa Moreno, who owns the restaurant with her husband, Dominic.
“For people who don’t enjoy sushi, we’ll have teriyaki chicken and some Korean dishes,” she said. “My favorite thing on the menu is the Kobe beef burger with sweet potato fries. It’s not Kobe-style beef. It’s Kobe.”
The Morenos had wanted to open On a Roll last month, but they faced various delays during the inspection process, she said.
The restaurant is at 63 E. Congress St., in the old McLellen’s building.
On a Roll will be open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Mondays through Wednesdays and from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Thursdays through Saturdays. It’s closed on Sundays.
“We have a full liquor license, but our primary focus will be saki, including sakitinis,” Moreno said.
