I came in a party of four on a weekend for lunch. I heard great things about Ahi sushi and after trying other local sushi restaurants, I was excited to try Ahi. The ambiance is very no frills and clean. The service was relatively quick after we ordered. I ordered the lunch bento with hand rolls of salmon avocado and tuna avocado. I also had salmon belly and otoro. The hand rolls were quite large and very tasty. The salmon belly was very tender and delicious. The otoro was the star of the show - it's my absolute favorite cut of tuna and I order it whenever I get the chance! It was so tender and melted in my mouth! Overall, we had a great time and I'll definitely be back for more otoro! read more

Went to Ahi Sushi to celebrate a friend's birthday with a group of 10, and overall it was a great experience. We timed it well and beat the rush, which definitely helped with seating and service. The service was good and the server was attentive and friendly, especially considering the size of our group. The food was fresh and came out in a reasonable amount of time. I ordered the garlic edamame, which was flavorful and a great starter. The sauce that came with it was delicious and I used it with my sushi roll as well. I also had the rainbow roll and added jalapeños, which gave it a nice extra kick and made it even better. Overall, good food, good service, and a fun spot for a group celebration. Would definitely come back read more

Service was great! Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. My roll was not the best but maybe I got the wrong one.... I'll would try something different next time, but I don't think I'll return. The actual spot is small and cozy .. nothing special to return to read more

Decided to try this place out because it had good reviews but sadly the food missed the mark. The vibe and the service was good but the sushi was nothing special. In my opinion I rather have Jin Sushi instead. I had the tempura hot night roll and it was ok. I just expected more. But I can't speak for any other items in the menu. Try it for yourself and form your own opinions. read more

My wife and I love sushi, so we finally decided to try Ahi Sushi. I had read tons of positive reviews about this place and I'm glad to say it lived up to the hype. The staff were all very welcoming and extremely friendly. The sushi was all excellent. Everything tasted so fresh and was so flavorful. My favorite was the monster roll. It was my first time trying it. The rainbow roll was also great tasting. All the fish that was laid on top was all fresh and great tasting. My wife chose the Jimbo roll. The presentation was beautiful. We will definitely return as this is probably our new favorite sushi spot here in Bakersfield read more

Was invited to a birthday dinner and they had reserved a table for a large group. The restaurant itself is not very big. However, it is very popular, as we noticed, a huge turnout. It was also Friday evening. Service was excellent, very warm and accommodating. I really liked the miso soup; I finished mine as well as my husband's! The sushi rolls were standard, nothing spectacular. I suppose portions are good. My husband also ordered the mixed fried rice and it was good. I will definitely be visiting again. read more

Still one of the best sushi spots in town. The cucumber salad I ordered off the recommendation of another yelp review. Delicious! Much larger than I thought. We ordered it to split and still only finished half of it . The sushi we ordered was great. The food is really good. The 5th star is for the service. Above and beyond friendly. read more

3 years have passed and though we don't visit as much as we did in the past, the food is still great and the staff is great.. Looks like the prices have increased slightly but can't blame them for that and the portions (tuna dance, Hama Hama, edamame, and cucumber salad) continue to be healthy.. Looks like they have have managed to hire some additional staff to accommodate the increased crowds.. Keep it up and here's to the next 3 years!! read more

I went back after one year for lunch. Still the same great service. Same great vibe. I ordered an appetizer and 2 rolls. The portion was so generous I had to take half of the food to go. The soft-shell crab was amazing. The Stockdale roll and spicy tuna was amazing. Great sushi read more

I get so sad when I have to down-grade my review... but I dislike misinforming people, so here we go. I visited yesterday. We were there before the dinner rush started so they were not busy at all. We ordered our usual - sashimi set B, salmon dance roll, poke appetizer and dynamite roll. The portion decreased on all dishes, the quality of sashimi used were poor and fishy(some still frozen and crunchy) and the rice used for the roll was way so overcooked. I was never disappointed with their food before, so I was in a bit of shock to see the poor quality, portion and presentation, so I turned and checked out the sushi staff, and I did not see one/usual Korean staff that used to be there. Plus, they were understaffed in the dining area too compared to before. Based on this, my assumption is that the ownership changed or something. So disappointing.. now I need to find another sushi place to go for my sushi cravings :( I wish I took pictures yesterday so I can show the difference, but I guess I didn't have the urge to take pictures of such underwhelming dishes ;( sigh read more

Came on a Friday for lunch and i was surprised how many people came at lunch time! But looking at their menu They have some good lunch deals. Interior was warm and clean, and had great soft lighting. Great fast and friendly service. My friend and I were seated quickly and given drink options. We had some questions about the menu and then ordered. They brought out 2 bowls of miso soup which was a nice touch, really yummy. I had 2 rolls, rainbow and Las Vegas. Both had some of the biggest pieces of fish I've seen at a sushi place! Really appreciate the big portions. Everything tasted fresh, I did taste a hint of something like vinegar and I think I normally like my sushi just a little sweeter if that makes sense, but all of it was delicious! I will be back to try more! read more

Out here in Bakersfield I went to try this sushi restaurant. Encouraged by some of the reviews. Everyone was friendly and seated right away. I had to take one star away because of two things. First, when served the nigiri I was told what type of fish I ordered. It is normal for the server to at least explain which pieces I ordered. I ordered salmon belly (worth it if you find it at a sushi restaurant), yellow tail belly, bluefin tuna, and Uni (from Santa Barbara more sweeter than from Japan and good). Second, I asked for their most popular roll and was told they had already thrown away my ticket when I asked about it.... It wasn't that big a deal for me but definitely something to note. The quality of the fish was good. Tasty and fresh. They did not place a dab of wasabi under each piece of fish in the nigiri which was a little disappointing. I did notice at the sushi bar it was reserved and as a single surprised I wasn't offered a seat at the bar but was seated at a two top. Again just a detail. It was a well lit place and had a family friendly atmosphere. I do recommend this restaurant and would come back again. Everyone is friendly and the food is tasty. read more

I am quite a hater of Americanized sushi. But Ahi Sushi is a good place. Huge servings, worth the price! I got the katsu and a salmon roll. The katsu was too thin I think, meat was overcooked. Makes sense with how thin they flattened the meat. I love that the salmon roll came with some slices of sashimi. The tempuras were great as expected, and you get lots of veggies between the steamed ones and the salad. Health is wealth! Our servers were fun, they were cracking jokes with us and it helps our vibes as patrons having a fun dinner. I mentioned that my friend was celebrating his birthday and they got us some fried ice cream to share. The portion is also huge. We were struggling to finish it! read more

Had a really nice meal at AHI SUSHI. Food was good, service was top notch. Only down side is we had to wait a few to be seated because it was busy. But that is more of a compliment as to how good a place is. So be patient, it is well worth it. read more

I was in Bakersfield before a big move and was in the mood for some sushi. I came across this place, and let me tell you, the food here is so damned delectable. The sashimi is buttery soft! We got a new worker who was in training, and she was really on the ball as well as her trainer! read more

The sushi is always so fresh! The ahi poke is amazing! We went for lunch one day and even though it was busy our server was trying so hard to tend to us she even admitted she was new but she offered us more soup because of the wait! So please be patient if you go during their lunch rush-hour! One of my favorite servers is Mackenzie. She's always so sweet and is always willing to go above and beyond whenever we stop by. read more

Always a good time with great food at this place! I totally see why they made the Top 100 in the country list. I took the little mini me this time for some mommy/daughter time and we ordered some rolls and salads. She's in love with seaweed salad so she enjoyed that. I tried the Salmon Dance Roll and thoroughly enjoyed it and the Sea Breeze roll is always great. The service is always wonderful. Our servers name was Carolyn and she was amazing! She made sure our drinks stayed full and answered any questions we had. Most definitely will continue to come here and enjoy more food. read more

Ahi is a great sushi spot! I've come here quite a few times. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I usually come here for their rolls, but this time I opted for a bento! It was a great choice and very filling. I just so happened to be there for their lunch special too, so that was a pleasant surprise. Since I was dining alone, I was seated at the bar. It was fun to see the sushi chefs make the rolls. However, I felt like I was getting in the way of the servers grabbing the orders. They never reached over me, just on either side. It didn't feel very comfortable though. read more

Ahi Sushi - Salmon Teriyaki and Spicy Tuna Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Rolls are way too big, the tables are very crowded and you have no privacy. Sushi doesn't taste that good. Wouldn't go back.

This might be my new fav sushi place in Bakersfield! We wanted to go on a sushi date and were adventurous enough to try a different place. Service was quick! We ordered three rolls and enjoyed them all! Tuna dance was our favorite. There's so much going on with it! The marinated ahi tuna on top was so delicious! That was definitely the highlight of our meal. If we could just have a plate of what was on top we'd be happy! The roll itself got a bit wet under all the toppings but we'd still get it again. Summer breeze is such a refreshing roll with the lemon on top! Crazy horse is a huge roll and so unique. I don't think we've seen anything with a cross section like that. Delicious! Overall, sushi tastes great and they have such creative rolls. We are excited to try more rolls in the near future! read more

Ahi has been our go to place for Sushi, but after tonight that might be a different story. We showed up at 8:25 (they state open until 9 on a week night) opened the door and every table was dirty, the waitress gave us a dirty look as we walked in. She approached us and asked if we were for dine in. We said yes. At the point she said she could sit us at the only clean table by the door, but as she was putting down the menus and even before we could sit down she said it was last call and want our order right then. That upset my wife because we felt we were being rushed, so we apologized for her time and left with ending up at BJ's who welcome us after 8:30. BJ's was busy even as we left there. Side note: the Owners of Ahi have not been there for the number of our last visits and you can see things are starting to slip. Hope they can get it back together. When the owner was there she was on it. Amy restaurant that states they are open to X time should welcome guests until that time and serve them with a smile on their face and not make them feel rushed! When I worked retail we welcome customers until closing time and allowed them to shops until they made their purchase, even if that meant they we in the store an hour after closing. read more

I tried this sushi place for the first time yesterday and it was so good!!! I went with my friends and we sat at the sushi bar,which honestly made the experience even better because the workers were so helpful in choosing what we like and giving us recommendations he thinks we'd like. The customer service was really great and everyone was friendly and welcoming. I honestly forgot the name of what I ordered, but it was delicious (so good i remember it was Golden something jumbo! Everything tasted fresh and well made. I really enjoyed my experience and will definitely be coming back soon with my family! :) read more

This is my new favorite sushi place!!! Like oh em geeeeeee!!! When I leave, I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. However, a staple on my table will always be TUNA DANCE and SALMON DANCE!! Like, what the heck!??!?!?! Who made that incredible combination of rolls, poke, and then topped with crispy fried onions!!!!! Sheesh!!!! Staple. I'm telling you, it's a staple on my table. Ok, let's talk about the ambiance... it's a cute place to dine with friends and family. Noise level is like you walked into a really fun party where every is just enjoying their food and drinks. All you hear is laughter and the chattering faded into the background. Service was sooooooo sweet. They are attentive to your needs but not overbearing where they are in your face every 5 minutes. The servers are always smiling and willing to help with menu questions or suggestions (how do you think I learned about the Tuna Dance) I can't wait to come back again .... I might become a regular here! So far... my foodie experiences has been delightful. read more

My husband and I were having a date night on Friday and decided on the ol' reliable dinner and a movie. Our movie didn't start until 7:05 PM and it was barely 5, so we decided to stop here for dinner. I have had Ahi before as a To-Go order and really loved the food, so I thought eating in person would be an even better experience. We walked in at about 5:05 pm and every table was filled, but there was only one or two other parties waiting to be seated and the gal that greeted us said it would be about 20-25 minutes before we could be seated. We agreed and put our names on the list. The other parties were seated as people were leaving and we were confident we would be seated next. But then a new party walked in with hugs and smiles for all the staff and they were seated right away! About 15 more minutes pass, people are leaving, tables are cleared. They still don't seat us. At this point, my husband is annoyed and decides that if we aren't seated in the next few minutes, we would have to pick something up on the way or we would be late for the movie. That's when an older couple walks in with a vase full of flowers and hugs all the staff and - I get it if they are friends or family or whatever, you want to help them first - but what REALLY ruined the experience for me, was that the greeter asked if the couple wanted something to eat and they said "Of course, but we don't have a reservation" and the greeter looks at us and the other people waiting, and goes "No worries! I'll get you seated right away!" and busses a table to seat them! Mind you, we are only about 4 ft from where this conversation is being loudly held. We ended up walking out of the place around 6:15 pm; mind you, were told it would be 20-25 minutes. All in all, I do enjoy the food here, so I will give them one star, but I wouldn't recommend eating here in person unless you have an inner circle connection to the owners or their staff. read more

Ahi Sushi is easily one of our all-time favorite restaurants and definitely our most frequently visited. We've been here on packed Friday nights and on quiet Tuesday afternoons, and every single time, the experience has been nothing short of amazing. From the spicy edamame appetizer to the complimentary miso soup, every bite is spectacular. What stands out most is the consistency. We've been here at least 10 times, and each visit has delivered the same exceptional quality and flavor. That level of consistency is rare and something we truly appreciate. The service is also unique in the best way. Servers seem to work as a team. You might not have the same person bring your food or check in, but someone is always taking care of you. It's clear the focus is on making sure the customer is always attended to, and it works beautifully. Huge shout out to the cooks! Their attention to flavor and quality shows in every dish. And equally important, the cleanliness of both the restaurant and the bathrooms is always top-notch. That says a lot about how the place is run. Ahi Sushi is one of the best spots in Bakersfield, hands down. Please never change a thing. We will continue coming again, and again, and again. This place has never failed us and truly deserves the title of hidden gem. read more
