    Lunch bento box
    Ashley H.

    Ordered the lunch bento box which is always my go to when visiting. For my two selections I went with the Philadelphia roll and the mixed sashimi. The bento box also comes with a mixed salad, rice, and miso soup for $15.50. The value of the lunch bento box is stellar with today's economy. My party of 3 arrived at 2:40 which was 20 mins until closing down for lunch which Is typically something I'd never do but I am visiting from out of town and hit some unexpected traffic. I decided to drive by and when I saw two other parties still eating we decided to go in. My only complaint was feeling rushed while ordering and eating. I do know it's my fault for coming in so close to close but they always have the right to turn customers away if they want to leave at 3 exactly. Our party was quick with ordering and stayed until 3:20. Ayame has the freshest fish I've ever had and is the reason I'll always come back and recommend to everyone looking for a new sushi spot.

    Girlyman Roll
    Arielle A.

    As a sushi fanatic, it is my duty to try any sushi place that is recommended to me. So when my sister spoke highly of this place, I was game. We placed a to go order of different things for me to try. When I picked up the order, the owners greeted me kindly and were lively and sociable. I can tell they put an effort in getting to know their customers in a genuine way. One of them even brought my to go order to my car since it was a big one. So all in all, the service was superb. Girlyman - The restaurant does not PLAY with this roll. This is the signature roll of the restaurant, and it absolutely delivers. The Girlyman is a perfect balance of flavors, and the sauce is absolutely heaven. Beautiful decoration as well. Bake Scallop - This roll takes a standard California Roll and adds its own twist by adding scallops and spicy mayo to elevate it. Saucy, pure deliciousness. Other things I've gotten are the Salmon Pizza Roll and Salmon Donburi. Both really good as well. Looking forward to returning to this place!

    Beef Udon Soup

    It's soup season and Ayame has just what you need. We had the beef udon soup. It was delicious and the service was excellent. You can sit at the sushi bar or a table.

    Girlyman Roll

    I first discovered this hidden gem thanks to my brother and his friend, and I've been coming back ever since, always bringing along more friends and family to experience the deliciousness. The Girlyman Roll - 5 stars in my book. The Ayame Roll and spicy salmon nigiri are also my fave. I also love their agedashi tofu, it's served hot and fresh so be careful not to burn your mouth. Staff is attentive and friendly; the servers remember me as "the one who always orders a lot of Girlyman Rolls". The chefs probably hate when I come since the girlyman roll takes a lot of effort to make lol. Whenever we're in the Vacaville area, Ayame Sushi is a definite stop for us - whether we take it to-go or dine in.

    Heading back after spending the day visiting our mom in the hospital in San Francisco and we were exhausted and starving!!! Yelp search found us a place along our route back to Sacramento; Ayame Sushi. We stopped for dinner on the way. Our first time visiting this place, and I must say, it was a great experience! Even though they were close to closing they welcomed us inside. It's a cute little place! Comfy seating, sushi bar in back, just an overall chill atmosphere. We started with miso soup while waiting for our appetizer. The broth was rich a flavorful and VERY soul healing. It was the perfect start to our meal. We then had the Mixed Tempura appetizer, which was delicious; batter was light and satisfyingly crisp; not at all greasy, the dashi dipping sauce the perfect complement to the crispy fried veggies. My sister had the Mixed Tempura dinner for her entree, my niece had the Chicken Teriyaki dinner, and I had the Chicken Teriyaki and Tuna Sashimi. The chicken teriyaki was perfectly grilled with a nice char while the sauce lent just the right amount of sweet and savory, and I like that they didn't try to drown the chicken in sauce. The entrees all came with a mixed field green salad with a creamy mayo based dressing; it TASTED like it had ginger in it? It was quite tasty, even for someone who doesn't normally eat dressing on salad. The tuna sashimi was absolutely fantastic, there is nothing like seafood on the West Coast in my opinion - VERY Fresh!! The sashimi was served with pickled ginger and wasabi. To round out the plate you get a nice little mound of Japanese white rice. It was all so delicious! After a long day, it was nice to stop for a quick recharge. Thanks so much Ayame! We will make sure to come thru again soon! Hope to bring our mom next time. #sushi #ayamesushi #yummy #chickenteriyaki #tunasashimi

    Ton Katsu Don (with egg)
    Mikayla P.

    This is one of my mom's favorite spots, so of course we had to eat here and I had to try it. We made a take out order right during the usual food rush hour on Friday night, and they let us know that it would only be 30 minutes! My family loves the 2 choice bentos. Their absolute favorites are the tempura and the hibachi chicken. The chicken had grill marks that added that charred flavor to the chicken. I tried the tonkatsu donburi with egg and it was SO GOOD. Ayame sushi puts the PERFECT amount of the donburi sauce on the rice and this is perfect for those sweet and salty cravings. I LOVED this donburi... so good!!

    Two great rolls!!
    Lori R.

    Came here while visiting some friends here in Vacaville. They chose the restaurant because we're not familiar. Oh my gosh what a great place. It's in a strip mall and you might not notice it right away. It's clean inside with social distancing table seating. Menu is full of great items and we all tried something different. Hubby had sashimi, our friends husband had a bento box and us girls had rolls. Very fresh, tasty and big!! Yummy. We will definitely make sure that we come back here next time we're in Vacaville.

    For what Japanese restaurants we have in the area, I think this is one of the best places around. I'm not into the gimmick of all you can eat sushi, so this place is perfect. When we arrived, they seemed pretty busy. Luckily, the customers waiting around were waiting for their to go orders and not a table. We were seated quickly and had our orders taken shortly after. I really liked the menu options. We all tried different things and everything was really good and was good quality.

    Lambada Roll
    Bailey B.

    This is the best sushi place in Vacaville. I've been a few times and my favorite roll is the lambada roll. Their girlyman roll is also very good I believe that's their signature roll. All of the rolls I've tried are good of the 10-15 different I've had. Something I appreciate about Ayame is that their specialty rolls do not have too much sauce, but just enough to add valuable spiciness or sweetness. The fish is high quality and I believe they sometimes get it from Japan when they can but don't quote me on that. The high quality fish makes their hand rolls, chirashi, and sashimi very good as well. They also have good sides I enjoy the chicken karaage they always bring it out hot and fresh. The food comes out quick and service is fast. Again best place in Vacaville for sushi. Prices are very good for the quality you're getting as well on average maybe $10-12 per speciality roll.

    Hidden gem in Vacaville! Normally my go to sushi restaurant in Vacaville is Fuji Sushi since it's AYCE and excellent quality. However we wouldn't make it in time and since it's the pandemic, best not to go to an AYCE. So pull out the handy reviews from my Yelp friends and others and ended up at Ayame. Plenty of parking in the lot that they share with a Walmart Grocery store. Went in and were seated immediately in a corner far from other tables. Every other table was sectioned off with caution tape so people couldn't sit there and they maintained the minimum 6 feet distance. We were given paper menus (probably what they use for takeout) and ordered our drinks and food. One of my friends, Bob, ordered edamame which was excellent. It was not only salted but also roasted. I'd definitely order that the next time I go! Bob also got gyoza which was good too. My Yelp friend, Asianae, ordered the lunch bento box with teriyaki salmon and spicy tuna. I ordered the lunch bento box with the teriyaki salmon and the mixed tempura. The bento boxes came with a salad, miso soup and a small serving of rice (which was perfect for me). Everything was fresh and tasty. The salmon was very well cooked, flavorful and lacked the oceany taste that some times accompanies seafood that have been frozen or are old. Asianae said her spicy tuna was excellent. I could say the same for my mixed tempura! Lightly breaded and fried to perfection and not oily at all!! The service was excellent and we got to chat and joke a bit with the sushi chef who was probably an owner. The bathroom was also very clean. I think my friends and I will definitely be back if we go to Vacaville again!

    Our party of 4 came for dinner on a 3 day weekend Monday and it was pretty crowded inside. We put…read moreour name down at around 5:30 pm and it was about a 30 minute wait for a table to become available. The setup was pretty interesting with tables on the side and a conveyor belt with the center where the chefs are working and seating lined around that. The staff were kind and helpful in explaining how it all worked being that it was all you can eat. First, there is a menu where you can place orders with the staff for things like appetizers and drinks. We got some sodas and ordered items such as edamame, miso soup and grilled salmon teriyaki. Then in the center where the conveyor belt is, you can walk around to it and pick up plates that you want to try. It mostly seemed like nigiri and rolls that they were commonly making. In the center, the chef station is between the conveyor belt area and there you can order more specific items you want to try like a roll, sashimi or handrolls. We chose to order some different sashimi like salmon and yellowtail and handrolls like the spider and alaska. They also make a bunch of extra dishes that you can take off the shelf as well. For the price and the experience, we thought it was very enjoyable from the multitude of options to the freshness of the items.

    Fresh sushi better than ever Helpful staff and good energy…read moreamongst other staff and customers Will be back soon but too full right now!
