    Spicy King Salmon Hand Roll, Sashimi Dinner a la Carte
    Kat L.

    BEST sushi! Legit made rice and fresh fish. Ordered delivery; but if they sushi looked this good - I imagine the onsite location is superb. Prompt service and packaging was perfection. Don't want to lose this place to the Asian mixtapes that seem to overwhelm Danbury. Hope they offer omakase menu!

    A little short staffed but the food is incredible so we'll be back. Smaller portions but very high quality.

    Dining and small Sushi Bar

    Small sushi place, but the quality of Fish is 10 star. I drive 2 hours to NYC for sushi as I don't really eat around here but today one of my friend recommended this place and I am really impressed from the quality fish they serve here. Clean place, sushi can be pricy here but hey it is what it is. I highly recommend this place for sushi . We will be back again. Nice job

    Yellowtail sashimi.

    Gold found in Brookfield, CT. I've been a sushi connoisseur since the 80's. I'm not bragging, but I've had sushi around the world. One of my favorite places to get sushi is Sushi Yasuda in Manhattan. I never thought I would find anything that rivaled the quality of their fish and devotion to tradition, let alone find it in Lil old Brookfield, Connecticut. It's a little unassuming storefront located by the four corners in Brookfield. My concern is that other sushi restaurants have popped up close by. I've been to all three locations and the contrast is dramatic. While the other locations may have modern designs, etc There is no comparison with the quality of the food. For the same reason, you wouldn't compare fine dining to a family restaurant. I wouldn't compare any other sushi restaurant in the area to Amai. Please try this restaurant. You won't be disappointed!

    Shrimp Tempura Roll
    Andrew I.

    We ordered from here with Uber Eats. It arrived quick which was good. The portions were small for the price point. The tuna looked old, so we didn't eat it. The Shrimp Tempura roll and Spicy Kani Salad were good. If you order here, that's what I would suggest ordering.

    Spicy Girl Roll

    The sushi here is absolutely incredible, the freshest sushi I have had in the area! You need to try the Gyoza ( steamed), The Spicy Girl Roll, The American Dream Roll, completely melted in your mouth. We tried the Chirashi(12pcs) sashimi entree and every piece of fish selected was divine, my favorite being the king salmon. Definitely save some room to try some O- Toro Nigiri and the King crab to die for ! I will be coming back here for sure ! Pictured above is the Spicy Girl roll( inside spicy salmon, yellowtail and avocado topped with spicy tuna) and Blue Fin Tuna Nigiri

    Amai has some really, really good sushi. We were legitimately impressed, especially given how mediocre sushi is in this area generally. The prices are a little on the high side, even for sushi at this level, but at least you know you're paying for quality. We went on a weekday so it wasn't busy and got friendly, attentive service. Nothing in the area we've tried touches this place. I hope the locals embrace and support it. Highly recommend.

    First a little context. I'm a big fan of Omakase. I expect it to be delicious, I expect it to be pricy, and I expect it to be expertly prepared. Typically to get decent Omakase I travel to Greenwich or to New York City. Recently it was brought to my attention that a nearby restaurant in Danbury/Brookfield serves good Omakase. I was skeptical. Nevertheless I jumped in my car and drove over there for lunch. My first impression was that I might be at risk. It is a typical strip mall style space, relatively small, and the Omakase bar only seats four - the remainder is table seating . It is not grandly appointed like some of the Greenwich places are. The miso soup was perfectly fine however it was very standard for what you might expect at any local Japanese place. Then came the Omakase. Guess what? It was expertly prepared and quite delicious. There was a very nice variety of quality fish. I have appended pictures so that you can get an idea of the presentation. And to top it off, while not inexpensive, it was appropriately priced. So all I can say is if you're a fan of Omakase and you're frustrated that it's hard to get in the local area, you now have an option that will save you the drive to Westport, Greenwich or New York City. And save you some $ as well. Final note, the service was attentive, my tea was kept topped up throughout the meal, and the sushi chef was a pleasure to watch work and told me what each piece was as he presented them.

    I really wanted to like this place since we are in desperate need of a great sushi place here. But... We ordered take out perhaps that was the issue. They forgot half our order and we had to return to the restaurant to grab the rest. Spring roll app basic Cod app $22!!! For 2 bite size skewers. Very good but not for the price. Wish I took a pic. Poke bowl and Dream roll wreaked of fish. No one went there, except for husband. Miso soup average but tofu tasted funny too. Generous portion of pork in the Bao but soaking wet. Chicken Bento came with thigh meat, rice salad and 2 pieces of veges. Not impressed at all. The $15 PINT of soup consisted of a miso Broth, 2 shrimp, a scallop and 2 asparagus stems cut small. Again maybe take out wasn't the right road to take. Disappointed!!

    Tonkatsu Ramen

    Delicious food, good service and relaxing atmosphere. The ramen is fantastic, definitely a hidden gem of Brookfield.

    Chef's Selection Nigiri a la Carte
    Brett R.

    If you're looking for some of the best and fresh sushi, don't look any further! This is the spot you're looking for! It's so fresh it might as well come from the shores of Japan and you have a Nissan skyline parked out front of the sushi house. The service was top notch. The lady server was so kind and friendly I can't wait to come back. I wish I lived closer! Also their chop sticks are great quality!

    Rock Shrimp, fresh oil and delicious

    This place is an absolute must try. There is not one dish that we ordered that is not exceptional. We ordered additional crispy rice pieces because they are just so good. Also, is is not just fresh fish, this is a true chef owned place.

    Been here twice and it's the best sushi in the area. We are driving 35 minutes to get here. Worth it!

    I had such a nice experience here! I love that you can fully customize your own poke bowl. I went…read moreall out & loaded mine up w/ a ton of different toppings. The best part is that most of the ingredients are already included, so you really get a lot for your money. If you want extras, it's only a small upcharge, which is totally reasonable. I liked that you actually get to choose everything & watch them make your bowl in front of you. My poke bowl was scrumptious! The ingredients tasted fresh & clean! I found myself wanting more & more w/ each delicious bite! The service really stood out to me. Annie who helped us was such a sweetheart!She was super kind,helpful (she took the time out to explain the menu),& welcoming!She even gave us coupons for free ice cream on our next visit. Since a few people in our group were from out of state & couldn't use the coupons, she gave them complimentary ice cream on the spot. Annie made sure we still got to enjoy the treat, which was such a thoughtful gesture. The space itself is really cute, too! It had nice decor & fun,comfortable,relaxed vibes that makes you want to hang out & enjoy your food. We (my niece,her 2 friends,& me) also tried a few bubble teas, & overall they were really good. The chocolate & brown sugar flavors were def my favorites. The strawberry one didn't quite hit the mark for me, & the ice cream wasn't the best(but honestly, everything else from the food to the service more than made up for it). I also tried the spring rolls & they were tasty & crispy (fresh out the fryer). I'd def come back again, especially for another fully loaded poke bowl & that great customer service!

    Came by at 3 pm on a weekday. The shop is very cute and would be a good place to stay for a while…read moreand chat with people. The person working immediately took my order, as there was only one other person waiting at the time. It took several minutes but then my food was good to go. The boba itself was solid. The taro flavor was good, the pearls was well cooked and lightly sweet, I'd get it again and try some of the other flavors. The poke also was good! I would probably get it without the pineapple next time. I wish there was slightly more Fish added but it tasted great. Next time I come I'll do a build your own poke as they have forms for this and it seems straight forward. Glad to have a place like this so close to my work!
