Very good meal. Delicious! Will recommend. Clean and very attentive. Friendly and respectful

Holy cow.... On hold for 15min, no pick up AGAIN!! Every time we have tried placing a phone order no one answers and THEY ARENT BUSY! We walked in and there was one couple seated outside and three people waiting for pickup. No one at the front desk, guy was just standing around. He come to us and we say yea we've been on hold for 15min no one answered. And he takes our order and we wait 40min for food. Two couples came inside and left after a while of no service to them. There was a family of four outside and a dad and kid at the sushi bar. They had to flag someone down for more water and waited a fat minute and still never got food by the time we left. Horrible service, empty and no one inside to have an excuse. Three sushi rolls and a noodle bowl for $70?? No tip for sure. I think we're done trying this place. If the foods bad I'll be pissed. read more

Ahi Sushi & Grill - Hold for ever and never picked up - Japanese Near Me - Alpine, California

This was mine and my husband's first time here. We walked in and the host greeted us and said he was cleaning off a table and it would be just a minute. While we were waiting, another couple came in to place a to go order and he helped them. We waited about another 10 minutes, awkwardly standing there because there was no seats by the entrance. We finally got seated in the back area that looked like a converted outside porch area. It was very chilly out but we made do. The server came by to take our order, he said his pen ran out of ink but he will remember our order to relay to the kitchen. We ordered an order of pan fried gyoza, an electric roll, a Philadelphia roll, a tempura shrimp roll and a spicy yellowtail roll. We waited what seemed like 15- 20 minutes for our food to come out. They brought out the electric roll first and did not give us any chopsticks so my husband couldn't eat his roll. We had assumed the gyoza would have come out first, since that was an appetizer. The server brought out our other 3 rolls and then went back to bring us chopsticks, plates and napkins. The two rolls that has eel sauce on them were completely drenched in the eel sauce that you could not taste any other flavor in the rolls. The Philadelphia roll had the tiniest piece of salmon in it and was disappointing. We finished our 4 rolls and still no gyoza came to the table. I let the server know that we never received the gyoza so I'd like to cancel the gyoza. We waited a while and got our bill. He let us know he did take off a discount due to the inconvenience about the gyoza. We were sitting next to this obnoxiously drunk couple, the man burst out into an inappropriate song at one point and the wait staff didn't blink an eye.The prices were pretty reasonable here with their 50% off discount on some of their basic rolls.we went up to the counter at the front to pay our bill and informed them about the obnoxious drunk guy but the server only said " more tips for me", youd think they would cut the guy off on the saki and send them on their way but they didn't. We both felt the sushi was very underwhelming and we most likely would not return here. read more

Really great sushi and awesome people. I've been here 4 or 5 times and while I wait for my order to-go the staff are always super friendly and chat it up with me. Their sushi is really good. My kid is picky and always asks about coming here to get sushi. Give them a shot and you won't be disappointed. read more

It took forever,2nd time giving them a chance. Fried rice tasted horrible egg drop soup no flavor and super thick. Im allergic to crab its like no one gets it. And We had to ask for refills on tea. Had to get own napkins and sugar. Horrible service and I feel like throwing up after. read more

This is one of our favorite places to eat. If you eat in the restaurant there is a large selection of sushi that is half-price and delicious. The appetizer of salt and pepper shrimp is plentiful and delicious. The staff is fast, efficient and helpful in making recommendations about the specials and we have never been disappointed with the meals, service or staff. read more

We haven't been here in a long time , but decided to give it one more shot. Well, that was a mistake . We ordered chicken curry and salemon roll . Came out fairly quickly ... salemon roll seemed ok . Not as good as I remember , but we worked hard all day and were hungry . However the chicken curry came with white rice ( as we asked for ) the rice was hard and crunchy . We told the server and she came back after like 5 minutes and said " the kitchen is too busy and can't make you rice " . So I'm in a sushi shop where rice is pretty important, they have hard , crunchy rice and they can't make anymore ? We canceled he order we had put to go , I can make better rice at home . Most of the curry sauce went to waste .. and the server just set the bill down and walked away . She could've at least comped the curry , but didn't even try . We go to check out and the owner is cashing us out . We tell her about the rice , she apology and gives us 10 % off ... no , I'm not leaving a tip .. which is something I very rarely do ... but this is the straw that broke the camels back ... we should've went to Marietas Mexican food place which has become our new go to .. we definitely will never be back to this sushi place ... do not waste your money or time .. go elsewhere .. read more

another update to the horrible service. I don't understand having people wait on hold if you never plan on picking up the phone again

Shockingly good. My partner in sushi and I decided to give this a whirl. I've not seen super good food anywhere in this town. We are the poster children of culinary mediocrity. This place broke that. Great nigiri, some rolls and super service. Not sure the kids who took care of us were knowledgeable but they made up for it in kindness. We'll be baaack read more

Just got back from Ahi with my coworkers for lunch. We used to come here often because we work nearby but the quality definitely went downhill. We noticed the water tasted funny and wasn't clear. The miso soup was very salty. Maybe leftover from the previous day and the rice wasn't fresh or good. read more

Love this place. Food is awesome. So many choices. The wasabi chicken is my favorite dish. Friendly staff. read more

This is such a wonderful spot up in Alpine. We drive from El Cajon at least once a month to come and enjoy Sushi and one of their specialties. And the fact that they have handmade rolls that are half off means it's totally affordable. The food is delicious, prompt, and the presentation is beautiful. I highly recommend this place! read more

Best sushi in town! Love this place I come down from San Diego just to eat this sushi! Great service and staff

Came in for lunch 3 sushi meals and 1 hot plate. Fish is spoiled. Miso soup tastes so salty that it was inedible. My mom's food never came out. They did take it off the bill but my mom was angry because she was hungry. Pass on this place I should have known when we weee one of 2 tables in there at lunchtime. read more

Great food, great atmosphere, great service. This place has the best sushi in Alpine.

Ahi Sushi & Grill - Japanese Near Me - Alpine, California

Ahi Sushi & Grill is our go-to date night dinner in Alpine. The ambiance isn't fancy, but the food is fabulous, the prices are fair, and the service has always been top notch. We recently discovered that in addition to dining in for sushi, Ahi Sushi & Grill is cheaper and faster for ordering Chinese takeout than their competitor Panda Machi. I think people (like us!) forget that the "Sushi" parlor also makes delicious hot food and their wait time is a lot less than competitors in our zip code. read more

Has yet to disappoint. Friendly staff, BEAUTIFUL food that tastes better than it looks!!!!

Didn't have to-go menus, suggested using Yelp menu. Yelp menu was 2 years old, and so the prices are 40-50% higher than listed in their available menu. Food is okay, nothing great read more

I'm giving this place a three because the service is horrendous. The food itself, is really good. It's flavorful and they give good portions. The restaurant is clean and has plenty of seating. The menu has a ton of options and of course, they have sushi which is delicious. Unfortunately, the service is not good at all whatsoever. It's so bad, I'm knocking down two stars. If the service was better, I'd give this place five stars. They take long to bring out your drinks and food. They also get mad when they make a mistake and you politely correct them. I asked for a coke and water once, and got my water fifteen minutes later. When I asked for the coke, the lady acted like I inconvenienced her and took another ten minutes to bring out my drink. That's just one example of the many horrid experiences I've had here. I recommend this place if you want good food but are prepared to deal with horrible service. read more

very good service but the food was not very good besides our avocado cucumber roll. thai tea made w whip cream, salemon roll had an odd ponzu taste, and crispy rice had way too much sauce disappointed read more

Great sushi, tried lots of things and everything has been good! We've never eaten inside. We've always done takeout.

Savoring Perfection at Alpine Sushi: My Top Spot in San Diego! THE HANDS DOWN ABSOLUTE BEST!!! The owner is the most kind and talented chef. Every bite at Alpine Sushi is a symphony of flavors, a dance of freshness that captivates the palate. The attention to detail in each roll is nothing short of artistry - a testament to the chef's dedication to perfection. The prices are unbeatable for the quality and grade you get. Some favorites; Crispy rice tuna, Lady roll, Salomon roll, Crispy chicken wings, dragon roll..... there are so many read more

Ahi Sushi & Grill - Salomon roll - Japanese Near Me - Alpine, California

This used to be my favorite Japanese restaurant in Alpine but it has been several years since I was last there. I had a visitor in town from the mid-west, who had never had Japanese food before, so I wanted her 1st experience to be memorable. Yes, it was but not as you might imagine. We walked in around 5PM on a Saturday evening without any reservations but there was no wait . We were told to find ourselves a table which was a bit unusual and awkward. I noticed the servers appeared to be young, not dressed what you would imagine a clean server should be but instead looked like they were moon-lighting from their car mechanic day-job. (Just my impression) A server came within 5 minutes and asked if we wanted any drinks while giving us menus. We ordered two bento boxes, which came with hot soup (she had the egg drop soup and I had the miso soup. Both arrived promptly and were piping hot. About 3 minutes later she got her bento box, even though she just started her soup. I finished my soup and waited, and waited, and waited for my entree before it finally came. I was impressed with the quantity of food in the box, the flavor was excellent, and it was hot even though the entrees should have been timed together. That was the last I saw of our server. Later I had to flag down a neighboring server and request take-home boxes. He came back with them and then I also requested a serving of green tea ice cream for us to split. About 15 minutes later it arrived with only one spoon so I requested a second. We waited and waited and waited. Finally I got frustrated and went looking for the waiter only to find him playing some game on his phone. When I requested the 2nd spoon for my melted ice cream, he became belligerent and started making excuses. The proper thing would have been to apologize and get a spoon but no, I had to listen to him arguing with me and giving me "the look". We finished the melted ice cream and waited another 20 minutes for the check. When it didn't come, we got up and headed to the door where the cashier was. It turned out to be our server, still with an attitude. No "Thank you for coming and we hope you come back." After effects: Within 20 minutes of eating there, I developed a massive gas attack. Was it the food, was it waiter retribution, was it my reaction to the food? I have no idea nor am I implying anything detrimental however, I am wondering what caused it. Now let's talk about the environment: 1. The restaurant has gotten very run down over the years and is desperately in need of renovation. 2. Two tables away were 2 very drunk and very loud women who started to get into a cat fight. I don't think either could have landed a punch but I was wondering why they kept serving them liquor? 3. Then there was the table with 8 kids under the age of 6, all screaming and pounding on the table while their parents pretended not to notice. Their father wanted to know if one of them had a wet diaper or a dirty diaper because it smelled dirty. Not exactly the conversation you want to visualize while eating. In summary, I was extremally disappointed in what this once great little neighborhood Japanese restaurant has become. I think it just lacks good management and needs to be fixed quickly if it is to survive. Poor management is the biggest reason businesses fail. It is really a sad thing to see. Personally, I'm not ever coming back nor can I recommend it for anyone else. read more

Food is great. Lot of variety. Highly customizable (ex: add spicy to crispy beef, reduce sauce on honey walnut shrimp, etc.) Worst thing about them is 20% of the time that I call in, the phone is off / not working. Otherwise, call ins work great; food is reliably ready when estimated read more

Monday, Lunch, Order to go, Bento Sweet and Sour Chicken Reason for three stars: The only, single thing negative was the difference in online menu prices and what the real prices are. Mine $8.85 online price Price Charged $10.85 and a .65 fee for to-go / Total with tax $12.34 Lunch The staff is friendly. The portion was good. Just wish they would show the REAL PRICES. Increase since October +$2.00 and the .65 to go fee. This was picked up. **They no longer have menus to take home. read more

Eating in has been good. If there's a problem with the order, they can fix it right away. The problem is take out. We haven't ordered take out very often, but whenever we do they forget stuff. Also, the food isn't nearly as good. I don't know why, but we won't order takeout from them anymore. But! Dining in is fine. read more

Food was pretty good, I was happy with my order. Service was terrible. We went for Mother's Day and the restaurant was full. Maybe they just aren't used to it being that busy. But that should tell you everything right off the bat. We had our very small table full of appetizer plates, when our food came we asked them to remove the plates for us and they never did. We had to ask for water twice. Just for water! Our food took a long time, although they did have a large group of about 15 in the back and again, the restaurant was full. Ambiance also left much to be desired. We asked to sit at the bar but that was not an option. So it was either sit on the hot Inclosed patio or inside where we sat in a corner staring at the bathroom doors. Will most definitely not be returning. read more

It pains me to write bad reviews about small businesses who appear to be trying, but this place ain't it. It's dirty and it smells like mildew and all of the sushi rolls taste the same. So disappointing. I've been here many times over the years but this is the only time I've been compelled to write a review because it was NOT good. The staff was nice which is the only saving grace. read more

Ahi is my usual sushi spot, it's close, quick and delicious. they have a wide variety sushi and food options, I now get the chefs choice (not sure if that's what it is called) every time to try something new. the workers are so sweet and seem to love being there. there is a nice room to the side that gives an outside type of vibe where I love to sit at. Will always recommend this place to a friend. read more

amazing food with a mix of Sushi and Chinese. The service is always amazing and they have a great selection of sake

Really great service I would recommend it for a family dinner/lunch! Also the food was really good and everything that I had was AWSOME!!Ps I would recommend the California rolls read more

First time trying Ahi Sushi & Grill and we had a great time! The service was great, we were greeted quickly and given a table right away. Our food also came out quickly and our servers were both quick to check in on us frequently throughout the meal. We started out with the tempura appetizer which was good and offered a large selection of vegetables and shrimp. Our favorite rolls were the lobster roll and the ahi tuna crispy rice roll (pictured)! These rolls had such good flavor and were different than any other roll we'd had before. We also had the 911 roll and it was good, but not our favorite. Would definitely recommend trying this place out in Alpine! read more

Ahi Sushi & Grill - Tuna crispy rice roll - Japanese Near Me - Alpine, California

I only tried this place because I am in alpine for work and I was craving sushi. But I gotta be honest here, for small town sushi it might be passable, but I fear the sushi restaurant wouldn't survive if they had a competitor in this town. Between the three rolls that I got, they all look and feel like they are made with cheap ingredients, the taste is very bland and the whole time I was eating them I couldn't get the thought out of my head that I'm gonna get food poisoning from them. I believe these rolls are comparable to gas station sushi, and that's upsetting. This place feels like it's lost its mojo, like the owners and staff are checked out and no longer care about quality. I dunno. I wouldn't recommend. read more

We came here as new customers who are tired of panda machi being super crowded, noisy and listening to obnoxious techno music every time we come in; we were not disappointed! Not only was food fresher tasting than pandas but it was also less expensive! The staff was also excellent and very attentive, food piping hot, etc. The sushi was AMAZING - we will be back to this place for sure! A++++++++++++++ read more
