Sashimi chef choice
Jordan P.

Changed ownership again. This time it seems like the new owners are doing good. They fixed the restrooms, place smell good now. Good music and good food again. Can't wait to comeback

This is still my go-to takeout sushi place, but recently there's been some issues with the freshness and taste if the sushi. Most of the time it's great, and they even kindly provide these complementary veggies as a gift, but the volcano roll was too fishy and scallop-y, and one of my other recent orders of the Candy cane Roll was a little questionable with the freshness of the raw fish

Yellowtail & Blue Fin Tuna

Oli was our server and was amazing! The quality of sashimi was great and they gave great portion sizes. Definitely coming back to try more of their specialty rolls.

We were in the neighborhood craving for some late night eats. This restaurant is open late and really hit the spot for our sushi craving. The service was very friendly and efficient. Our waitress was great! The ambiance reminds me of a bar/club. It would be a nice place to hang out with friends or with a date. I am deducting one star for their very dark restroom. It was clean but the lighting was pitch black. Being in the city I know that keeping the area clean is a struggle with people coming in and out. We didn't need to park as we walked in as we were staying at a nearby hotel. I did notice there were some street parking spots available. Overall if you are craving some late night eats, this is a good spot to check out. The sushi is good (not phenomenal like more posh sushi restaurants)...definitely great for the price it commands. Worth a visit!

Love all the "no rice" roll options
Del S.

Stuck in the hotel for a meeting, so decided to order sushi since every day this week was either a BBQ, Steak, or Mexican food day. First the food was delicious. Loved the "no rice roll"options. They actually have quite a few on the menu. I was going out on a limb to order the kimchi fried rice, because I couldn't find any photos.. but it did not disappoint. Love that it reheats well too for leftovers because there was so much. I love that they deliver their own food, originally to be delivered in 60-70 min, and although they were 15 min late, they definitely deserve a little slack as it's been inclement weather. Only reason I'll give it a 4* is that they forgot my side salad. So, just waiting for my credit to hit my account. But otherwise I wouldn't hesitate in patronizing again when I'm in town.

Candy Cane Roll, Salmon Sashimi, & Salmon Avocado Roll
Elizabeth L.

Last time I tried this place out was two years ago and three years ago. The last time was quite disappointing and I have 2/5 stars. Ordered via Uber eats on a Sunday afternoon around 2 PM. Food didn't arrive till about 3 PM. All the items inside were really wet... it look like the salmon heaven had a bunch of fluid in it & might have spilled everywhere. Salmon Heaven - Again, no description on the UberEats site, but this again did have sliced jalapeño and Sriracha on top with some other sauce. Salmon quality is watery and not creamy - I suspect this is why it has jalapeño, Sriracha, and drowned in sauce to hide the poor salmon quality again. Dragon Roll - Bite sized, but unagi is strangely dry & seems like it's been sitting out in the open for a while. The sauce doesn't have the stark sweetness that I typically expect from a dragon roll. Rice was quite bland & tastes more like plain rice instead of sushi rice. Alaskan Roll - Pieces are slightly larger than biter sized. This salmon quality seemed better. Rice was quite bland again. Overall, it was sushi. Nothing was terrible, but Maybe slightly less than average? Prices for this type of quality are exceptionally high and not worth it IMO. I would not recommend this place. I would not intentionally go back.

Caught up here with an old friend! The food presentation was really good and overall it was really Yummie! Really good service too!!

Last night I decided to take myself on a date and I fell in love and found my new favorite place! I'd been for takeout a couple of times before but never sat inside... well because Rona. But I must say, my experience was quite pleasant I was literally the only person there, so I definitely felt like a Boss all of the workers were so nice and sweet, they really made my experience worth wild. I got their Orange Chicken Bento. It came with all the deliciousness you see here. Definitely a perfect choice for me because I got to all my favorite things. From the chicken, to the egg rolls, all the way down to the sushiit was all worth it!!!! Shoutout to Ai Sushi Sake Grill. My new go to date night spot As seen on menu: Orange Chicken Bento Deep-fried crispy, tangy chicken glazed with spicy orange sauce, 4 pieces California roll, house salad with ginger dressing, chicken eggroll, rice.

Salmon Avocado Roll

Great service, pictures below of the things we got! The creamy shrimp was our favorite

Sushi & Sashimi Combination
Brianna S.

Excellent dinner! Beautiful and clean place with excellent food and presentation, fresh and delicious fish with very nice staff! Great spot if you're in Dallas!

Blazing Ilume Roll
Sarena M.

Never would have guessed this place would be phenomenal. Starving after a visit to my daughters apt downtown. Searched for a place open late Sunday night. Wasn't expecting such great sushi on a whim. Hubby got the Blazing Ilume and was blown away. I ordered the Asparagus with brown rice and it was so good!

Does this look its worth $80 plus tip? Dinner for two? Crack pots!

Ordered via uber eats. Menu portions not clear. Place is a rip off! 3 pieces of low quality sushi for $16 is atrocious. Don't waste your money or time. Big disappointment! My order was 3 cokes, beef gyoza (6), California roll, sushi sampler (3 stupid pieces) and a chocolate cake for $80 plus tip. Highway robbery. These people are making money hand over fist.

Tashana L.

My experience at Ai Sushi was okay. Nothing to write home about but also not the worst. The place itself could use an upgrade. The service wasn't the best, not very attentive or friendly. My party were the only customers so it was strange that the service wasn't better. The sushi was hit or miss. My table ordered the crunch roll, Louisiana roll, french kiss with yellow tail, and another role that I can't remember the name (yellowtail, salmon, tuna, cucumber, and avocado). The crunch roll and Louisiana roll was really good! The French Kiss roll was fine, the yellowtail on top was sliced too thick for my liking. I didn't like the last roll at all, the fish didn't taste fresh.

Geisha Role, where are the sauces again nothing like it used to be

Overall: 4.7/5 [dine in]…read more Our sushi chef was Jayden and he was so nice. He checked in with us throughout the meal to make sure everything tasted good, offered to cut our hand rolls in half so we could share, and even gave us a salmon belly on the house. Black Cod Nigiri ($6): Best bite of the night and it was on the seasonal menu. It was cooked and I'm not sure what they did to it, but it was absolutely phenomenal. Salmon Truffle Ponzu ($18): My second favorite dish of the night. The salmon was super fresh and the truffle ponzu elevated the whole thing. Scallop Foie Gras ($24): Beautiful presentation and good but surprisingly not as flavorful as the salmon truffle ponzu. I was expecting more umami from the foie gras. Salmon Belly Toro Nigiri ($16): Salmon belly with fatty toro topped with ikura. Delicious and melts in your mouth. Toro Wagyu Uni Nigiri ($22): Fatty tuna, A5 wagyu beef, and uni nigiri. My husband thought it was fun to eat, but said he would not order it again. Nodoguro Nigiri ($13): I looked this up, and it's apparently a rare high end deep sea fish from Japan known as the toro of white fish. Based purely on taste though, I thought it was okay and did not compare to the salmon belly. Kanpachi Cherry Blossom ($6.50): A pretty rosy pink color with a subtle cherry blossom flavor. Okay in terms of taste compared to the other fishes we had. Ami Ebi Nigiri ($10): The sweet shrimp was a bit too raw for me. Crab Uni Butter Nigiri ($12): I did not really taste the difference between the uni infused butter and regular butter so I am not sure it is worth the price, though it was still good. Snow Crab Handroll ($7): So much better than imitation crab. Recommend out of all the handrolls we tried. Eel Handroll ($7.50): Not my favorite but my husband said it was one of the best eel he has ever had. Lobster Handroll ($12): Good but nothing special. Volcano Roll ($28): This took the longest to make and was the last item we received even though we saw them start preparing it at the beginning of the meal. The presentation was beautiful and Jayden even sprayed gold on it for our photo and video. It comes with snow crab, avocado, lobster, and bay scallop topped with eel sauce and was really yummy with lots of seafood. The only downside was that the roll underneath broke apart easily which made it hard to eat. Fresh Wasabi Root ($10): We watched them grind the wasabi fresh which was cool to see. It doesn't have a kick to it though so I wouldn't order it again since I like a tiny bit of spiciness. Matcha Mojito ($15): Not for me. It had a bit too much club soda. Yuzu Saketini ($15): I liked this one more than the matcha mojito. The yuzu flavor was prominent and it kind of reminded me of a Lemon Drop.

They have a rotating list of specials on the blackboard so be sure to ask first it as our server didn't really mention this to us so we had to find out ourselves - can be hard to see but there is a menu specifically for this. Handrolls. Get them for the best bang for your buck. They are loaded with fresh fish. Some of the specials weren't our favorite - too much sauce. But handrolls and nigiri were solid.

Sushi Bar Dallas…read more Omakase at Sushi Bar Dallas is an incredible experience from the moment you step inside. The room is intentionally intimate and very dark, with an industrial ceiling where pipes climb 20+ feet above, signaling you're in for something far from a traditional sushi bar. My only gripe came at the front of the house: the initial greeting and the rule explanation were a little too demanding and elementary for someone who is tired and paying a significant amount of money for a sushi dinner. Put the rules in an email, text and on the website i'm not in 4th grade. The hostess was pleasant, but she seemed a bit robotic in doling out the rules of the evening. The line-up system, where you wait your turn and have your name called, feels odd and reminds me of the times I visited my friend in prison and the guards lined us up against the wall by our names before they took us to the room with inmates. Uncomfortable but I do follow most rules and there was a reason for the lineup that becomes clear as you settle in. Next she takes you down a dimly lit, narrow wooden staircase and you land in a basement sanctuary of omakase heaven. Our hostess knocked and the door opened to a room that felt specially curated for this meal. Each guest found their name written in gold on a sign on the sushi bar where you are suppose to sit. The chair was a very comfortable leather chair. Each gold written name plate, marking the guest order she placed us in upstairs. My seat was at the center of the sushi bar, perfectly positioned to capture video and photos of both chefs in action. From the start, we were told we'd be eating with our hands, a nod to traditional Japanese dining. The chefs staged 17 courses with the precision of neurosurgeons, walking us through every nuance from the provenance of the seafood to the section of the fish we were eating to the age of the barrel aged soy sauce. Not a detail was missed, and timing felt both deliberate and urgent in all the right moments. The father, Jose, was laid-back and effortlessly in control, while Leo, Jose's son, emerged as a true partner in the kitchen, their dynamic reminiscent of watching a masterful, living artwork take shape. The two moved back and forth with a rhythm that felt like a collaboration at the highest level, each dish placed neatly on a flat stone in front of each of us. They would then announce with pride what we were about to inhale and wait in anticipation of our response. It was clear they take tremendous pride in their craft, presenting edible masterpieces that felt almost ceremonial. Too keep everyone happy with the time in between dishes there was an endless supply of a pickled salad that I could not stop eating. As for a favorite course, it's hard to pick one. Each bite built on the last, and the whole sequence felt cohesive, an immersive set from tartare hand roll, to Shima Aji, Madai, Uni my favorite, Hotate, Masu, Hirami, Hamachi, Bincho, Kinmedai, and something I have never heard of Zuwaigani, followed by the best Waygu I have ever had in my life and ending with a passion fruit sorbet with activated charcoal crumbles and toasted crispy coconut, I don't like coconut and I ate every bite. The pairing of technique, seasonal seafood, and f#%king great seasonings left a lasting impression or as my wife says, "my husband has food memories." If you're considering a visit, go with an open mind, a willingness to lean into the pace, and a camera ready (flash off it's one of the rules) for the moments when the chefs' artistry shines. The father-and-son team of Jose Manuel Tapia and Leo deliver something rare: not just sushi, but a storytelling meal where every plate is a page in an ongoing, delicious epic food story. At the end they will make you additional food for an additional price but it's worth it. They then walked us over to a very nice bar with a great vibe and old school Dazz Band playing like I was in a time machine and it was 1982. Great place, great food, great vibe. Be ready to drop $300 plus per person tip is included but you will want to tip the sushi chefs something extra.

Service was great! You're greeted once you enter and offered a drink. When i say every single…read moreentree was delicious, i mean it! This was my first omakase experience in Dallas and it's definitely in my top three favorites. It's right next to a bar that they escort you too after making it a great spot for a date night

Sasa Sushi is a standout sushi spot not for having frills or a fancy (often pretentious) omakase…read moreexperience like some of the other sushi, but simply because they have very solid menu options, the fish are tasty and fresh, and they are generous with their portion sizes. (This is not to say that it isn't a nice restaurant; it's a solid date night option.) I think it's hard to find another place that could beat their fish-to-rice ratio in their rolls and on their nigiri in Dallas. Just look at these photos. They are a standard "American" sushi spot in that they have rolls that contain all combinations of ingredients and sauces - I have generally stayed away from those. Their nigiri are top notch and their sashimi (including dressed up plates like the crudos) are absolutely worth the price. Can't complain about the service either - the time it takes to get your order ready is highly variable (I don't necessarily see a correlation with how busy the restaurant is) but the staff have been polite and adequately attentive throughout most of my visits.

I stuffed my face with food while here…read more The food came out fast, they were really working hard to get everything out. I give everything 10/10 except for the sushi sandwich. It wasn't bad.. but I just know now, to stick to what I'm use to. The salad that came with it was good though, and I ate it all.
