The service was great. Very friendly and helpful, but not like hovering and overbearing. The ambiance was lovely. We sat in a nice clean booth. And the food! We got gyoza (which were perfect), a Philly roll (and they subbed out the avocado with cucumber for me), and we split a filet mignon teppanyaki. The steak was perfectly seasoned. We ordered medium, but I think I'll order medium rare next time. I also got a bottle of apple sake. I would have preferred cucumber sake, but they didn't have it. The apple was good, but very sweet. Overall, this place is awesome. I wish it were easier to order to go. You pretty much have to dine in. read more

This place is nice. They accommodated our big party of 17. Everyone ordered a wide variety of food and appetizers. It was all good. If I could say one thing or suggest. Garlic butter I felt is a must in hibachi. I think that was the only thing that was missing in this food. But overall I would be back. This place is pretty expensive but I feel the amount of food they give you is worth it. read more

Dad and I were looking for a place to eat and were deciding between Black Bear Dinner or Ah-So. We haven't been to Ah-So since my birthday many years ago over in Northterra. So we decided on Ah-So and so blown away. First we were greeted and got to pick where ever we wanted to sit which was great, but we didn't expect the stream with Fish!! It was so cool to see that! We loved it. We always love seeing an attraction like this so it already bumped it up. Secondly I havent been into any Miso soups lately no matter where I have gone, it just hasn't done it for me. This changed today. I enjoyed and loved the taste of the tofu behind my combo meal, Dad also got one. I got the Chicken Katsu and Dad got the Teriyaki Chicken combo. We hadn't expected the miso soup to be added to it so that was a plus. The food was amazing! Dad loved the grilled taste and how the vegetables were grilled with the chicken and you could taste it. I loved the tempura and the crunch of the Katsu. All in all amazing. Something we really loved was the fact that it feels comfortable here. The set up of the restaurant made us so relaxed and it didn't feel too modern or pretentious it just was perfect like going to the local Japanese place in Japan. Highly highly recommend. The lunch combos were also all 18 bucks even on weekends! We will be back to try the teppanyaki and the teriyaki salmon when we are able. read more

Everything was phenomenal here! We came in as a walk in and got seated right away and had the whole grill to ourselves. I was taken back because most places I been to have waited for the rest of the table to fill. Our chef was super nice and entertaining. I ordered the filet and my boyfriend ordered the spicy shrimp and chicken. Everything tasted amazing and we left with happy bellies 1000%. We're not from the area but definitely will be coming back again soon. read more

Great food, great atmosphere and kid friendly! What else can you want? Oh yeah price is right!

The food is good, but for the prices they charge, they need to be able to make martinis. I ordered a cosmopolitan and they asked how to make it! Hire a real bartender even if just for the weekend. read more

First time here- I was greeted right away & wanted to place an order to go. Tianna, the host/server quickly took my order and made sure my order was gluten free, including the soy sauce. Food was amazing/ quickly prepared by a very nice cook, further more they had left over oranges and she brought me one of those as well. Will def be back. THANK YOU! read more

Wow! If you want delicious food with entertainment, GO. HERE. The BEST Ah-So in the Valley. If you want steak, just get the filet. It's worth it. So juicy and tender!

Everything is great! Sushi is fresh and yummy and veggie fried rice is phenomenal! Great service and the nigiri salmon is so delicious

Food and service was great. Had filet and lobster . Fun times for the kids and myself.

Truly enjoyed my first experience here, as we went to celebrate a birthday! The staff were attentive and quick. The cook was amazing & did many tricks also caused many laughs. We went on a Wednesday at like 6:30 it was not so busy as we thought it'd be so it wasn't too loud nor quiet. 5/5 ! I would go again read more

WOW! The BEST SUSHI here in AZ! I've been an Az resident for 31 years and this is still consistently the best sushi spot I've found. Singh and Thomas are amazing at the sushi bar and Linda and Uni have always been amazing servers that take care of us. They all take care of us individually and are very personable. I highly recommend you stop in at this ah-so location if you've never been and are a sushi lover. You will not regret it, totally worth your time! The sushi cuts are top notch along with the service. Thank you Linda, Uni, Thomas, and Singh and all the other staff that makes this place run!!! Me and my family will always stop in at our favorite sushi joint, we love ya!! read more

We came to to this location to celebrate my Girlfriend's Daughter's birthday. I have never been to this location. However, so glad that we came here! The food was amazing! The table chef/cook was awesome! He was funny, professional, interactive, and cooked each plate awesome!!!!! The inside definitely does not match the outside! It's way way better! I love the small pond they have inside great idea! I would recommend this location for a casual lunch or dinner date night! read more

Horrible experience. Wanted to introduce my family to hibachi and my old to go spot got shut down so we gave this one a try. Upon entering the building we were greeted and directed to our seats in a very dark and stuffy room. Decor looks outdated and dusty. We got seated and a lady took our orders and it took them 15 minutes to bring out the mushroom soup and the salad. Service by our hostess remained slow all night. Food was smaller than what I've had at all hibachi places I've been to. We were left hungry. Got our bill and was surprised to see an automatic 20% gratuity added to our party of 4. I asked the server about it and she said it is usually added to parties of 6+ but since costs have gone up they have started to charge that for everyone. They said it also had to do with the owners revamping the menu and incurring lots of extra costs. I had already tipped my hibachi chef, whose show was the bare minimum to say the least. And was planning on tipping the server more but after that experience it was just not good at all. Food was nothing great- waste of money and way too expensive. read more

Great place to go for Teppanyaki. For my husband's birthday and he was so happy with his food. They also have sushi and lunch specials during the day that we will have to go back and try. read more

For the past 5 years this has been our annual New Years Eve dinner, and every year they don't disappoint. Know though, if you are on a budget this isn't the place for you! For a couples filet and shrimp combo, one child's steak, one Sapporo, one draft Michelob Ultra, one Soda and a crispy lobster roll appetizer our bill was $138. Food and service is always outstanding. Filet fork tender, shrimp large and fresh. We have lucked out the last several years and have had the same gentleman prepare our food! He is funny and includes everyone at the table with his antics. We love this Ah-So, the interior might need to be updated (they are expanding to the suite next door) but the food, the food is simple, fresh and tasty! read more

In a strip mall, behind Black Bear diner this place is tucked away off Bell Road, blink and you'd miss it. But once inside, you're quite taken care of. Great service. Haven't tried their hibachi grill, only sushi, which is quite fresh and good so far. read more

We were celebrating a birthday & made reservation weeks in advance. The food was quite tasty, the experience was fun, sitting at the hibachi grill, but the process for seating large parties is not the best. read more

Food was ok. The place seemed clean. The waitress insulted me to the point where I will not be returning. It's aggravating because we ate here a few times a year. read more

RUDE. I wanted to place an order and the guy on the phone was very short with me and I was wanting to try this place for the first time ever and this was a horrible first impression. I asked if they had gluten free soy sauce they do, I was excited to try the fried rice. I ordered at 10:20 they close at 11. And the guy said very rudely "are you gunna be here before 10:45?" I said yes I am only 4 minutes away from the restaurant and then I placed the order and he says again " are you gunna be here before 10:45?? We will not be waiting for you " with such a ride short attitude. And I'm like what the hell. Okay. And then I thought about it and decided not to pick up the order because I won't support their restaurant if you're disrespectful to me. I'm pregnant and just got out of the hospital too. I didn't have the patience for his rudeness. So no I won't be coming here KAWAI is so much better they're so nice and same prices. Don't come here they're. Probably spit in your food. That's the vibe I got from this place. How rude ! read more

BEWARE OF FORCED TIPS!! These ladies expect you to pay $20-$35 for gratuity! Skip this AH-SO location and go to a different one around the valley. Servers get jealous you tip the chef that actually deserves the tip! If these ladies wanted a bigger tip they should actually put the effort to receive bigger tips !!!! I have to flag these servers every time to get a refill. I was told to never come back because I don't leave big enough tips. CRAZY! read more

Forced Gratuity even on small parties. BEWARE. Service is hit and miss - our server was terrible so to see the forced gratuity of 18% was appalling. We asked for a manager, only the assistant manager was on staff. I'm not sure what in their food poisened me but I suspect MSG. I looked up their brand of soy sauce and it was not supposed to contain MSG but my hunch is they fill the bottles with a substitute and not that name brand. Teppanyaki grill is always full even at early dining so make a reservation. They only have had 2 teppanyaki tables going recently. Food was ok, nothing great. Service really broke the evening and then top it off with some type of food poisening. I will never go back. This is the 2nd bad experience in a row with them, not trying for a 3rd. read more

Staff has very fast and amazing customer service. My family and I go often and love it every time.

This place is the real deal, after spending years in Japan, I have not been able to find the correct way to make "yum yum" sauce until now. I will drive past all the other ah-so locations which are not affiliated and drive the 45 min from the east valley. The service, and ambiance is great for kids and families. read more

I got filet and chicken Teppanyaki and the Las Vegas role! The food was excellent and super tasty, but the service was just ok.

I've been here several times with my wife and son- usually drop at least $200 per visit, but have had enough. We LOVE Tepanyaki- but the Service here is horrible. I honestly do not like leaving negative reviews- BUT, if you prefer to be comfortable and like good service, this place is frigid and demanding. The Tepanyaki is the main reason we used to go there- but you are told where you "MUST" sit, like it or not. Yeah, that doesn't work for me...I am a big dude and need the end of the Tepanyaki table since they really pack you in. I can appreciate filling up a table before opening the next one, but if a CUSTOMER has a preference of sitting at the end- which is not taken- WHY would you insist he sit in the middle? Makes no sense. Cramped table, meat portions have been cut back and hard to get the attention of the staff once your initial order is taken. Comically, you see the staff standing around, talking to each other- I had to literally get up and walk up to them to order another beer. Surreal. Again- for the price, the Service and accommodations suck. read more

This is literally the worst hibachi I have ever had. The service was awful and they added a $25 tip to the bill without asking. $173 for the couples dinner with one drink each. The lobster tasted like rubber fish that has been sitting at the bottom of the freezer and I don't think they seasoned a single part of the meal. Every vegetable was under cooked. We tried not to judge a book by its cover but man this place was terrible. And honestly the worst dining experience I've had to in Arizona. read more

horrible experience dirty restaurant. server was so unprofessional she snatched my ID out my hand ! would not be back to this location

I asked for medium well steak and received an illegal amount of charred, extra well steak. We ordered two steak plates and both were mostly burnt. For $63 it was absolutely not worth it to say the least. The rice is always good and even the side salad. But the steak should never be burnt, no matter how well done someone likes their steak. Do better! read more

Ah-So Sushi & Steak - Steak hibachi plate - Japanese Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

I like the teppanyaki but the sushi not so much. Went for lunch and thought I would try the sushi. Ordered a spicy tuna hand roll and a spicy scallop hand roll. They did the scallop a cut roll, sent it back got the hand roll. Ordered edemame. The scallops were fishy. I wanted just a scoop of a green tea ice cream to cleanse the palette, they brought me a chocolate Sunday. Whip cream 4 scoops and chocolate syrup all over it. I told her to take it back. On that note, I won't be coming back. read more

This is a chain of restaurants. The show is good, the food is very overpriced for the quality. This is a strip mall, blacked-out windows, out of order bathroom, type location. Good for groups if you aren't picky and have deep pockets. Service is okay but became scarce once the show was over. The miso soup that came was a large bowl, but much too salty. I usually love miso and know how it's supposed to taste. They used too much chicken bouillon. I ordered shrimp and lobster, my husband had filet. It was quite a wait for a slow Thursday night to get our food prepped and the chef to come out. The show was fun, but I sadly watched the chef seriously overcook the shrimp and lobster tail. It was almost inedible. I don't care for fried rice and it seemed like they were pushing rice on us to fill the void. I wish I would have told him to take the fish off the grill before finishing the chicken and steak dishes. That would have been awkward though. The sushi roll was okay. My mom was disappointed with their meal and bill too. Two rubbery lobster and shrimp dinners with soda was over $100, plus tip to the chef for the show and tip to the waitress. No thanks. Never again. read more
