First time here and the experience was very wonderful, good food, I thought at first I'll leave hungry but I'm so full that it determined me to write a review. Service was fast and food was very good and for filling . Thank you read more

We booked a reservation for a large group requiring two hibachi tables/chefs at Ah-So Sushi & Steak in Peoria on a Monday evening. The restaurant wasn't busy at all with plenty of open tables and no crowds so we were surprised and disappointed when the hostess refused to seat us until every single member of our party had arrived, even though we had a confirmed reservation. A few people were running slightly late, but holding the entire group and two full hibachi setups felt overly rigid, especially on a quiet weekday. Their policy appears to allow only a short grace period, I've since seen mentions of about 10 minutes for the full party, but this wasn't clearly communicated upfront when we reserved, and it led to unnecessary waiting in the lobby. Once everyone finally arrived and we were seated, the initial service was strong: our waiter was attentive, quickly took drink and appetizer orders, and brought everything out promptly. The appetizers and drinks were solid, and the vibe of the hibachi tables is always fun with the flames, knife tricks, and chef performance. However, things went downhill from there due to the split tables. One table's group was seated and ready about 20 minutes before the second table. One chef started their full performance and cooking sequence early, while the other table waited and waited for their chef to begin. It created an awkward imbalance: half the party was eating hot food and enjoying the show while the other half sat hungry, watching from across the way. It would have been much better if the restaurant had coordinated the chefs to start simultaneously or at least closer together, especially since they knew it was one large reservation. The food itself was good standard hibachi fare with fresh ingredients, flavorful sauces, and generous portions but the uneven timing detracted from the overall enjoyment for our group. We were hoping for a cohesive, celebratory experience, but the logistics made it feel disjointed. Overall, the food and early service get points, but the strict seating policy on a slow night and lack of coordination for split hibachi tables left us frustrated. I'd think twice about bringing a big group here again unless you're okay with potential delays read more

We went right when they opened. Food was pretty good, I really enjoyed that the albacore and tuna was seared with pepper! Fave way to have! Service was nice. He recommended different rolls and greeted us friendly and when we left said a sweet message. The water cups weren't fully cleaned on the outside.. was odd and made us not want to drink but there wasn't anything inside.. I would give this place another try! Cute place , they do teppanyaki there too, there were families waiting in line for it. Must be worth a try too!! read more

shitty service, asked for our lost car keys and was met with terrible attitude from the sushi chef. spend your money else where

Food was fine. It was my son's birthday on a Saturday night. We made reservations at 6. We weren't sat until after 7:15 and the whole place was practically empty! Clearly, they have staffing issues because that was just stupid. Then after we sat we didn't get a cook for another hour. The food is decently priced for Tepenyaki so we stayed for my son. Otherwise I have a feeling this location will be closed soon. It used to be slam packed! No one wants to wait 2 hours in an empty restaurant to pay $400 for great value meat. Never again. read more

I been eating here for years and it used to be great now in the last 2 years this place has changed it is not as happy as it was and service has gone down as well as the taste of the food sorry to say im not going to be back read more

Awful service. Very slow to get orders in. Took a long time to get food too. Server walked away in a hurry to check on another table as we ordered. We should have just walked out. read more

Food was ok but not excellent. Service was very slow and even though we said it was for a birthday celebration when the reservation was made there was no effort to make it special read more

We have 3 adults and 3 kids (two 4 year old and one 7 year old) We have ordered 5 adult plates - teriyaki chicken and scallop combo, scallop, calamari and shrimp combo, beef yakisoba and shrimp yakisoba. The veggies that come with all the plates are grilled which is nice, but they are all burnt. The teriyaki chicken is hard and dried and burnt. The steak is ok, Scallop and calamari is good, not overcooked, and tastes fresh. The salad is small and the dressing is ... like black pepper with soy sauce and vinegar, it's ok, but too salty, I asked for dressing on the side, but the dressing is still ends up on the salad already when it arrives. For a total of $165+, the food is subpar. Not to mention with 3 adults, 3 small kids, they charged a 18% gratuity which brings the check $190+ The service was slow, took a good 30 mins for food to arrive, waiting for the check and someone to get our credit card took long as well. This place is expensive for a hibachi dish. A chicken plate costs $24! Anyways be aware of the gratuity charge. It was not on our bill before we give them our credit card, but appears when we sign for it. read more

The food was plentiful and pretty tasty. We enjoy the entertainment while cooking our meal, always fun! Filet mignon was very tender. The shrimp and lobster were delicious too. read more

if I coujd give less stars, I would. They don't honor reservations and ultimately jammed 6 of us into an 8 seat table with two other couples. Ten people with two of our group trying to dine on corners of the table. was an awful experience and couldn't even have a discussion within our group. The staff's response, when approached, is that's what we do here at AhSo. The final straw, when I tried to leave an OpenTable review they had cancelled my reservation to purposely avoid me leaving a review. This restaurant knows very little about customer service and are flat out rude. We won't be back and I'd suggest that others avoid this terrible experience. What a joke read more

Worst experience ever they didn't attend me at all when they did they placed me in grill like I wanted she then proceeded to let me wait there for 20+ minutes to tell me they won't serve me and my son at the grill because it's only 1 person... huh. Then after I went to a booth they grill cook threw rice at my booth, and they all laughed and didn't even apologize, I left with out my order and the waitress still proceeded to ask for a tip and she ended up filing a police report and waste tax dollers for me to go to court and get it dismissed because they saw the camera record and saw I did nothing wrong and they wanted me to pay them $80 plus $450 restetution, absolutely ridiculous, I will never be going to this chain again they are rude on purpose and management obviously doesn't care. read more

Ah-So Sushi & Steak - Update they just threw rice at my table from the grill this is actually outrageous - Japanese Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

Dined 5/3/23: Usually have hibachi here but they only have 2 large hibachi tables & they were both taken. Rather than wait 1hr, we opted to dine in & have the food cooked by the kitchen staff. Truth, you get much more food if you have the kitchen cook it. What a nice surprise! Inside is nice & place was clean. Small location so even when it may be semi busy, there can easily be 1hr wait. Food was tasty no complaints. read more

Food wasn't all that great , portion sizes weren't very big, actually was hungry after I left , overpriced , added a gratuity of 7.00 and i tipped the guy who prepared the food 10.00 not knowing they added the gratuity tip so the meal was 45.00 and they got me for 17.00 on tips!! This was the first time at AH-So and will be the last . read more

My family and I have been coming to this Ah So location for years, and it's hands down the best one. The rice is so good I could eat it daily, and the veggies are always fresh and flavorful. The meat quality has been a bit inconsistent the past couple of years, but it's still one of our favorite spots--great food, great service, and a really nice ambiance! read more

The sushi never disappoints!! I also like the teppanyaki grill, fun dining and very tasty. My favorite location is on Bell road, the old one. The new modern one is good too, but I like the old one. read more

Depends on when you go and if you have a group of friends with you otherwise they dont really put on a show

Food is absolutely amazing! We sat at the bar and got teppanyaki. We had Danny and Dominic and they were wonderful. We got a seared salmon nigiri. It was so good I devoured it and forgot to take a picture. Service from the sushi bar was top tier. Great conversations and laughs. We went at 1 pm so it was a great place to sit and talk. The inside was also very clean and spread out which was nice. read more

We have been going to this location and the Deer Valley location a number of times and the interactions wonderful, THIS restaurant is the BEST! We went spur of the moment and it was about an hour wait for Teppanyaki and we'll worth it as always! We had a great waiter and great chef that keep interaction with the kids and rest of the guests that all of us were all talking while eating. I got the filet mignon and chicken for the first time and then steak was absolutely like butter! Chicken was dry but I was full from the steak and the perfectly cooked rice and vegetables. The conversations were great and can't wait to go back for my sons birthday!! Once again! Thank YOU!! They do not take reservations but the wait is worth it for teppanyaki! read more

Perfectly fine. Reasonably priced for a teppan restaurant. Our reservations were honored as we were seated and served immediately. Our server and chef were both excellent. The only food being thrown up were the riceballs tossed in the air for us to catch. Only complaint was that the overcooked lobster tasted of grill gas- I'll stick with the tasty filet mignon, scallops, and shrimp. read more

Perhaps i'm dating myself but if i order a steak, i do expect a steak, not cuts from a steak passed off as the entirety. The food was on par regarding flavor and composition. When ordering, however, be aware, you will be getting more rice than you will steak and calamari. Birthday song was sung in japanese, or at least they said it was a birthday song. could've been a tampon commercial for all i know. Hey, you asked my opinion. The water was tasty. The eye candy behind the bar was jigglefabulous. Just frustrating when you see a steak and calamari listed as a meal for 40 bucks, you order it, and you get a ton of rice with the foreskin of a cows meat maker on it. read more

Asked for steak medium rare and the steak came out just seared and completely red in the middle. We ordered a Vegas roll and it wasn't even fried and tasted super fishy. I'm guessing this is just a location issue as the one in Norterra is much better and definitely worth the drive instead of this location. Very disappointed in how it turned out. read more

Let me start by saying we used to eat here alot. They were very accommodating not only to my gluten allergies, but to the customer as well. Not anymore. They used to make fried rice with GF soy not anymore. They used to give a small portion of edamame since I can't have the salad or soup, not anymore. My food was so bland, hospital food has more flavor. And they charged my husband $5 to not add onions to the vegetables and he actually didn't even get any vegetables. Seriously people!! Unfortunately we will not be back! read more

Great food, friendly people. Will for sure be back again. We got Sushi, apps, drinks, and more. read more

I called ahead and made it clear we were going there for a birthday. After being sat down at the teppanyaki grill for over thirty minutes we were told to wait for the chef to come out. We waited a bit longer and were told the chef could cook in the kitchen and bring out our food. They were not understanding that 1) we're here for the cooking experience and 2) most importantly it was FOR A BIRTHDAY... this is a one and done for me. read more

This place is my favorite teppanyaki its always delicious its never too crowded and always a relaxing time the cooks put on a good show very funny always polite staff is very attentive read more

Ok. While I am writing this review though my husband, mother-in-law and , son who just graduated that day to celebrate was already fuming for an hour wait ( with a reservation no less) I still thought of giving them the benefit of the doubt since 2 chefs walked out on them. Also they were giving me grief as to why they deserve 4 stars. So i changed it. So please bear with me. We did have a reservation for 7:30pm yesterday May 20th of 2024 ( clarifications for the managements). They did say that 2 chefs walked out on them so they were running behind (or so I thought) so I wept for them, and so I waited. An hour pass and still no table available in sight my MIL demanded to be seated on a table to get drinks and app while waiting for a teppanyaki grill to open (did I mention we had a reservation?) They did say they were already cleaning it up for us to be seated and oh boy was that a FLAT OUT L I E!!! After 20 minutes of waiting with 3 starving kids mind you they showed us our grill/table and ordered quickly our food. Then we painstakingly waited, yet again. Since it has been 1 3/4 wait with a RESERVATION and no food in sight we were at the walking out planning at this point the manager in light blue shirt came out to see us and gave us the managerial apology speech we demanded a well deserved free meal which he was such a smug trying to compromise still trying to make money of off us. He did comp our meal with $100 cert check .As the teppanyaki chef finally graced us with his presence which is they were also tired since there were only 2 chefs working work his way to get our food done ( with a good entertainment of course!) this fierce bad-ass tiny boss lady came and apologized about the epic disaster that's been happening all night and gave as another $100 gc. As we try to finished, this smug of a manager with a light blue shirt still tried to get money off of me to pay for an $8 drink the boss lady passed by and told him to fuck off (my words, not them). Ok folks! Hope you enjoy my novela and learned from this review that apparently they practice this kind of treatment to do business understaffed and try to get away with it. Reservation don't do shit! I will probably go back since I have gift cert to spend and hopefully my review will changed for the better. Good night! read more

Very Yummy, I love coming here for tepanyaki & sushi Its within walking distance from my place so I can get absolutely hammered & just walk home. Very convenient read more

Came here for the first time for a birthday party and had the teppanyaki dinner but also ordered sushi. The 3 stars are for the sushi because the teppanyaki was absolutely horrible. For starters we ordered the baked lobster roll and it was delicious! I definitely recommend the sushi! My bf ordered yellowtail nigiri and said it was really good. Now here's where it gets bad... We ordered the filet and chicken to split. The filet just wasn't good and the chicken was pretty good but slightly over cooked. But the RICE was absolutely disgusting. It was so hard and the cook literally threw it on the stove for 2 min. As soon as I saw him starting to put it on the plates I knew it wasn't cooked. Also, he wasn't really talking to us or being funny like they normally are. The veggies were pretty good but all in all the teppanyaki just was mediocre for price you pay. I would come back for sushi only. read more

Service was terrible. It was a Wednesday night and felt like it should have been a Friday or Saturday. We sat at the bar and had an appetizer which was great and the bartender was very nice. Unfortunately for the table service and other employees really ruined the experience. Table was loud and obnoxious. Just was a bad experience. Will not be back read more
