Absolutely the best sushi spot in Bakersfield super fresh, great service. I can see this spot is popular and might need more staff but so worth the wait. We loved rainbow roll salmon teriyaki and tempura! Maisy we appreciate you! Thanks for a yummy experience And great bringing my momma who is disabled and in a wheelchair. Great table and room for the chair etc. 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

Food: food portion is great! Yummy! Totally recommend Service: The host and servers are so nice and very personable. They are also very soft spoken and sweet! Ambiance: we came during a super hot day 103 degrees. Inside is very cool as they had their AC running. 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

Called in an order for pickup and it was done in about 15 minutes (we got 3 rolls), so they were quick and the food was fresh and delicious! Their rolls were big, which was really nice! And they gave us two free miso soups. Amazing service, we will definitely be back! read more

The food is very delicious here and the servers were attentive and friendly. It is often busy there, but probably because the food and service are good. Fortunately, there is a parking lot that has plenty of parking. read more

Ahi Sushi is hands down the best sushi spot in Bakersfield! The vibes are incredible, with a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The service is top-notch, and our server Maisy was absolutely incredible and attentive, making the experience even better. The sushi--wow! Every roll is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The yellowtail was fire! This place is seriously worth all the hype. I can't wait to go back for more! *didn't take photos of hand roll and another roll. We ate it before remembering. It's THAT GOOD! read more

Gave this place a try because it's #10 on Yelps 100 top sushi places. It didn't disappoint. They have a lot of different options and the fish tastes clean and fresh. Some sushi places tend to drown their sushi in sauces, but Agi Sushi doesn't do that. The staff were very friendly and the place was packed the entire time we were there. The prices are decent too. Will definitely be back! read more

Ahi Sushi - Green tea ice cream is delicious! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bakersfield, California

We were looking for a sushi restaurant and of course, we turned to Yelp. We are a fairly large group, so that is going to play a factor. My wife calls Ahi Sushi, and tells the owner Gina about our interest. Initially we tried to reserve for 20 people, but 20 people was too much, and later on, I would understand why. So after taking an official count, they reluctantly agreed to reserve space for 13 people at 6:00 on a Saturday. We're happy, our friends are happy, and we're looking forward to dinner. As we are heading over, get a call at 5:45 from Gina. She wants to make sure we are all still coming. We assure her that we are in fact still coming, and very close. I can only imagine her relief because my wife said as soon as she walked in, she hugged my wife. More on that later. We get seated, and so far there are 7 of us. Customers are walking in and at 5:55, they again ask if more people are coming, because a small line of people waiting for a seat is starting to develope. Now I understand the reluctance of Gina to save a table for us. Apparently this is the spot. I also feel a bit bad that some people are leaving and my friends are a little late. But 5-10 min later, we're all there and ready to order. Our servers were Kyrston, Andrew and Meimi (or something like that). Kyrston said, we're all your waiters but I'm taking your order. She took care of us mostly. After we ordered, we were treated with a free California roll. At least, I think we were treated. It could be standard for large groups. After some miso soup and salad for some, our rolls start to arrive. The problem we've had at other sushi joints, is one sushi per person just isn't quite enough. So we order an extra. Of the 13 of us, 11 of us order sushi, and 3 of us order an extra one. Buy the time we are done, we are absolutely stuffed. Honestly I don't think any of us should have ordered any extra rolls. Plus my wife got the Tuna Dance, which could probably feed 2 people. It's huge and very tasty, if not a bit messy. I got the Dragon and the Monster. Daughter got the I Love U, and sons got the Crunch Shrimp and Crunch Salmon Tempura rolls. Mt Don really liked my Dragon, and my daughter thought my Monster was spicy. It wasn't that spicy honestly. It's not labeled as spicy but it does include spicy tuna. One thing the plate included that I've never had was pickled radish in addition to the ginger. I liked it but it wasn't for everyone. Towards the end, we noticed it started to get earn inside. Unfortunately, the fans were not in, and even if they were, there were none above us. It also started to get busier in the restaurant, so Kyrston started hustling to the various tables. We could have hung out another 5-10 min chatting, but I gathered everyone together so we could make room in the restaurant. As we got up, Gina hugged my wife again. She's very sweet. As we made our way to our cars, we commented on how good everything was. My buddy who eats out a lot mentioned the quality of the food. That you could really taste it. I was impressed with how unique everything was. There were some old faithfuls on the menu, but so many rolls were completely new to me. All in all, we had a great time with great food. Would highly recommend and look forward to future visits when I'm in town read more

First time trying sushi in Bakersfield, and this spot did not disappoint. I'd definitely recommend sticking to the rolls and sushi--they were fresh and flavorful, easily a 4/5. The sesame chicken was just okay, nothing special, and the katsu don bowl was decent, but the sushi is what really stands out here. I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in the area! read more

The food was amazing, I had the spicy beef dinner and a Rosedale roll but couldn't catch a picture before I ate it. The service was quick and friendly. They seemed to be short staffed for a bit but still did an amazing job. The ambiance was great, it wasn't too crowded when we came in but it got full as we finished our dinner. The portions were great. I usually need 3-4 rolls to get full. Not today. It was great. read more

Came out for a date night plenty of parking in the shopping center. I had read many other great reviews and was looking forward to trying it out. Walking in you are warmly welcomed by the staff. We were seated quickly and drink orders taken. They have an extensive menu there were still a couple of pages I didn't snap pictures on. We were planning to see a movie so we decide we were just going to do rolls. They also give complementary miso soup. Such a lovely bowl especially on a rainy day. My husband and I order 4 rolls in total. Hama Hama, flaming hot, krispy cream and dragon roll. We got them all quickly. The one that took the longest was the dragon roll because of the eel but even that still came out quickly. Everything tasted very fresh, they were all made well so they didn't fall apart on you. A nice serving of wasabi and ginger with each roll and they also give pickled radish which was so tasty! We look forward to coming back and trying some of their other items including ramen and udon. If you are in the mood for sushi I highly recommend checking them out. read more

Ahi Sushi - Salmon dance left top, garlic damage top middle, cucumber rolled sushi roll(forgot name) on right top, sushi set on bottom. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bakersfield, California

As you enter this restaurant there is the feeling of bright exuberance. Gina (owner) greets you as if you are a long lost friend. Her sparkling smile and graciousness make you feel at home immediately. Jason, the other half of this husband/wife partnership is behind the sushi bar creating dishes that are not only beautiful but delicious as well. He is also very friendly and welcoming. The seafood is exquisitely fresh and flavorful. I like to sit at the sushi bar and there is always a mix of friendly fellow diners to interact with if you so choose. They always start you with a small plate of seaweed salad, a radish salad and your ginger & wasabi. Then a bowl of savory warming miso soup. This evening I ordered Masago sushi with quail eggs. If you have never had quail eggs, they are so delicious. They use just the yolk. Although they are cool, they taste exactly like a soft fried egg. As you bite into them they spread like a rich sauce over the Masago & rice. Then I had the yellowtail sushi. It was firm and fresh & tasty as if just out of the sea. I also ordered the albacore crunch roll. A scrumptious mix of albacore, tempura shrimp, crab topped with the best onion straws I've ever tasted. And of course a hot Sake. Every time I dine at this restaurant I go away feeling happy & sated. This truly is my favorite sushi bar in Bakersfield. read more

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.

Wow we had the Salmon Dance for the first time last night and it was amazing!!! It's a spicy tuna and crab roll with a mountain of marinaded salmon on top. The marinaded salmon (FYI the marinade is so good) was delicious and I'm am not joking about the amount of salmon you get it's huge! They top it with the best crispy onions I've ever had in my life, and I am an onion ring lover I've had them many times at multiple restaurants, but these crispy onions hit different they had a slightly sweet onion flavor (not overpowering at all) with the perfect crispness but not over done. I would love to see those onions on the menu as an appetizer. I would order them every time! Just when I thought Ahi couldn't get any better they surprise me yet again. If you are looking for the BEST sushi spot in Bako you have found it just go there and show them love you will not be disappointed. 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 have to say.... I didn't have really high hopes since it is Bakersfield and let's be serious, there is no ocean nearby lol. But, I should not have doubted Yelp reviewers.. considering location, it was pretty fresh and it tasted pretty good. The only issue was the salmon roll. It had a weird taste. The other seafood was fine but the other rolls were baked or fried. The salmon roll was the only raw fish we had. I have to say, the staff was so so friendly and attentive that I cannot give it any less than 4 stars. They came over and filled our drinks without asking and asks during our meal if we needed anything. Really one of the best service we had!!! read more

Heard of Ahi Sushi through yelps top sushi restaurants and been wanting to try it out! Came with my kids today! Waitress greeted us promptly and seated us. We ordered Shirley Temples and a lemonade! Both drinks were delicious! We started with miso soups that was piping hot and loaded with tofu! Absolutely delicious! We then received the Jalapeño Poppers. This is a must order if you love spicy jalapeño flavor items! The fried jalapeño was stuffed with cream cheese & spicy tuna this wonderful sauce with crispy bits under the jalapeño. Next, my youngest kids teriyaki came out and he loved the plate! As a toddler, he ate a good portion and left with sauce all over his face. LOL Next our rolls came out the tuna dance and Rosedale tempura roll! Holy moly! The portion of the rolls were very generous! The tuna dance was EXTREMELY delicious! The amount of ahi tuna on top of the roll was insane and delicious! The roll was a tuna, cucumber, and imitation crab roll and was incredibly delicious. The onion tempura on top was so pretty and very delicious! The Rosedale tempura roll had a delicious smoky taste to the exterior tuna! All the fish tasted fresh! Everything was made to perfection! The restaurant was modern and loved the bar in the back. I loved that the sushi bar with the chefs was in view throughout the restaurant. Cant wait to bring family & friends who are sushi enthusiasts! Thank you for the great service and food today! read more

Might have just hit the jackpot with this sushi restaurant! The service was friendly and welcoming right from the start and the food was delicious. I didn't expect the rolls to be so fresh and tasty but everything was. The chef even sent over a complimentary miso soup to start us off and it was perfect! The spicy tuna on top of crispy rice appetizer and the rainbow roll were my two favorite items but it doesn't seem like you can go wrong with anything from their large menu here! I am really looking forward to trying their sashimi and desserts next! read more

This place was great and we left super satisfied. I will rave and recommend to all friends and family. Greeted by the staff upon entry, Staff seemed happy to serve the customers and were very attentive throughout entire service. Ambiance was nice and relaxed. Music wasn't too loud but was loud enough to enjoy your own conversation and not hear others. Food - excellent! A bit on the pricier side, but this is the cost of fresh fish in Bakersfield. I'll be a repeat customer because of how fresh the fish was and will happily pay the few extra dollars to get this kind of quality sashimi. read more

A hidden gem in Bakersfield. I never thought I'd be writing a review about amazing, fresh sashimi in Bakersfield but here I am... upon entering the establishment I was instantly impressed with how clean it was. The waitresses were very welcoming, made great recommendations and worked very quickly. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that they had takoyaki as an appetizer.. we ordered the spicy edamame, takoyaki, tuna dance, sashimi lunch platter and two drinks. The order total was $65 plus tax ($70). When I tell you the portions were huge I am not kidding, we boxed up half of the tuna dance, half the edamame and half the takoyaki bc we were stuffed. Every item we ordered was a 10/10 for flavor, presentation and value. I would highly recommend this sushi restaurant to others! The food is fresh and amazing, but won't hurt your budget. The only con is that I live 1.5 hours away :) read more
