I'm so glad I tried this place out because it is worth going to again. It's quiet, peaceful and the ambience is just right. The lighting is also very nice-same goes for the decorations. Service was okay, I would call it satisfactory. Restrooms were sanatized, which I would also call expected. Sushi was absolutley delicous. All the ingredients mixed in your mouth-absolutley savory and the flavor is pretty unami. I think they added the right amount of sauce as well. Mochi was a little pricey, but it was a nice ending to the lunch. It was just the right amount of sweet. Would I go here again? Absolutley. Whenever I have an errand that pops up around this area-I'll have to make sure to come back to this place. It's wonderous. read more

If you're looking for an affordable, fresh, and delicious all you can eat sushi experience - you'll find it here. This is a small chain around St Louis but we like going to this location because it has nice staff and free parking on top of the food :) It doesn't have a ton of booths so be sure to be a little patient on the weekends! They have a very fast kitchen and will get people in and out very efficiently not feeling rushed. We always try different rolls when we come and have never been disappointed - I especially love the Maryland roll. read more

The food was delicious, service was fast, and the vibes were all great. Definitely recommend, as it was fairly inexpensive, and even though we didn't eat everything and had to pay for additional pieces for the all you can eat, it was still worth the price. Making sure I stop by again before I leave town. read more

As an update - things have not changed. Sushi AI still does not disappoint. The food is always still good, the service is always friendly. The atmosphere at Sushi AI is comfortable. The AYCE option here is always such a great thing. You have so many choices to choose from from the varied all you can eat menu. From appetizers to sashimi to rolls, there's sure to be something there that you will enjoy. I really do recommend this as a sushi place for you to stop in. Again, short and sweet. read more

My family gets this place at least two or three times a month. It's delicious! The people are always so nice even when we get it to go they always add extra extras in the bag. It's small but never overly crowded. My daughter always gets some fun little drink that comes with a pretty shaped spoon. The spring rolls, fried Philly, California rolls, and Alaskan rolls. Those are our typical go to. read more

My fiancé and I went on a Friday night and got their around 6pm before the heavy traffic arrived. They sat us immediately and were serviced perfectly. The food was wonderful and I could not complain about a single roll I ordered for all you can eat sushi. The inside was a bit small compared to other locations that they have. Otherwise it was decorative and up kept. read more

Been here maybe around 4-5 times with my family. Every time we walk in the vibe is always pleasant, everyone is cheerful and attendant. They constantly check on you if everything is okay at the beginning then understand to give you personal space to enjoy your food and not constantly have to answer questions with a mouth full of food. They made sure to come around, pick up, refill drinks, and stay around if we had any questions. Food is also pleasant, great price for all you can eat. I usually am wary of appetizers but they have a great selection! The menu also makes sure to describe what is in each sushi roll for those who are picky and looking for something specific. The food does make you full but not heavy, and sometimes you have leftovers you can take home! There is a 50 cent charge for every sushi piece you don't finish but I haven't seen them enforce this rule that much. I am definitely looking forward to going there more in the future with family or friends! read more

Great service, great personal, conversation quiet. The food is great and easy to choose from. I'm not sure if it's the tiles, wall, architecture, but even with a full restaurant it's not too loud/busy for your table. read more

Not good sushi. The appetizers and sauces were not good either. My stomach hurt after, and I barely ate any of it. No refund.

AYCE Lunch a little after 1 pm on Tuesday with my college student home for Spring break. Surprised that most of the booths in the section we were being seated in were occupied! Some left while we were there but more came in. Lunch AYCE is $15.99 for regular, $17.99 for Premium, even though their website doesn't specify the latter. We got one of each side; you mark on their 1 pg menus with sharpies then give to server. We have tried a few rolls in the past so we wanted different ones this time. With regular we got miso soup, crab rangoon, spicy tuna roll, spicy salmon roll, and for round 2, seaweed nigiri & Alaska roll. With premium we got edamame, eel nigiri, Sunset Tokyo (raw salmon on top), American dream (shrimp tempura), and for round 2, Maryland roll. Plates came with decor that my college student said looks like the plants that go in an aquarium! Their Maryland roll is very salty (alot of brown sauce) for our taste, but everything else was good. We finished everything (didn't want to be charged extra for leaving food) and were stuffed. Both servers (a male and a female) shared serving our table, so tips may be pooled here. read more

Great tasting and great price. My buddy ate 5 rolls on the "All you can eat menu". Not sure how he did it, but he did. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is that they used way too much cream cheese in their rolls. Over powers the fish and other ingredients. I will be back for sure. read more

I love that Sushi Ai is one of the few sushi restaurants that offers AYCE menu in St Louis. The prices have gone up from $18.99 to $23.99/ person (it's been like 4 years since the $18.99) for the regular AYCE menu but I think it's still a good deal. I always love the nigiris (especially the squid and the octopus) as they have a great selection and I can order multiple times. The roll selection is also great to choose from. My favorites are the Volcano, Sapporo and Pop Up. The appetizers menu is alright, it's a nice add-on. I usually order edamame to share with people as it is pretty big then order dumplings and shumai for myself. They also have a regular menu with lots of variety. To be honest, I've been to Sushi Ai so many times, both the Clayton and Ballwin locations but somehow never written a review... I'm glad that the Ballwin location is close to my house and they've been doing an amazing job through out the pandemic! read more

Great sushi and great service. Everything we had was delicious--and the all you can eat model is well worth it!

Got pick up for lunch through the app. I got two items and it was done on time. The food was amazing! My sushi roll was a perfect size and the taste was really good! read more

I would call it rice ball rather than sushi... the fish is super small and very thin that couldn't even cover the rice... crab salad was pretty good. Dress is very refreshing. read more

This is my go-to sushi place for in person or takeout. It's a no-frills experience but the food is great and so is the service. The unlimited meal is very inexpensive and you'll leave stuffed. read more

The food is good and menu is varied (many different sushi, plus different Asian dishes) so if you don't like sushi there are many other options. The ambiance is good--attractive, clean and not noisy--a good place to go and have a conversation. The waiter was friendly. All that would have earned a 5 from me , BUT the meal delivery was poor. There were several minutes between the delivery of different diner's meals--so much so that the first diner served was nearly finished by the time the last diner was served. The restaurant was not busy. I can put up with this if I were with close friends or family, but we were a group of strangers getting to know each other and it was awkward. Unacceptable. read more

We got the All you can eat sushi. Paid 17.99 for the premium options which was definitely worth the price. I thought the appetizers and nigiri was better than the sushi. Worth the price but I prefer the Chesterfield Sushi AI location. read more

Just moved from the city to the county and needed a new sushi restaurant. They are super fast, polite and food is always on point. Never had a bad meal and we eat here probably 2xs a month for the last 3 months. Sushi is fresh, crab Rangoon is amazing & my daughter LOVES their miso soup. Love the supersonic & honey roll. Honey roll is what I imagine crab Rangoon would taste like as sushi. Definitely recommend they are super quick which is amazing because we always starving when we come here. read more

It's been awhile since I've had AYCE sushi so I decided to stop by Sushi Ai on Manchester for dinner. I was excited to have a dine-in AYCE option available. Located in the Lafayette Center, there's plenty of parking space. There were plenty of people in the restaurant for dinner on Saturday night, but I did not have to wait for a seat. I would describe the inside as cozy with not too many tables. I ended up going with the basic $19.99 all you can eat. I ordered a few appetizers, nigiri and rolls. Everything tasted fine. The sushi didn't wow me, but nothing to complain about for AYCE. Food came out pretty quick so not much waiting. Service was great as servers took orders, filled drinks and cleared plates pretty often. The tables and restrooms were clean. I would recommend this Sushi Ai location for the value and fast service. read more

Today I called in for miso soup for my cold. Sushi Ai went a step further, they recommended ramen noodles soup. I said, " perfect and I will be there in 10 minutes." When I received my order they placed it in a reusable lunch bag and my hot delicious soups were inside and they provided Sushi Ai packet of Kleenex. The extra touch of service went a long way for me. I will be back often. Thank you !! read more

I go here 1-2 times a month. Find it no different than any of the expensive sushi restaurants in the area. Great service and very good quality food for a fraction of the price read more

I would give Sushi Ai 3.5 stars. I do enjoy coming here when I want to eat a lot of sushi, because of their all you can eat option. I remember back in my high school days, I would come here all the time after tennis practice to get my fix, and it would really fill me up. The restaurant is located in a plaza with a Dierbergs, and there's usually plenty of parking. I haven't been here since they remodeled, and I do like what they've done to the place. The setting isn't as open anymore, and there's more booths, which I think makes it feel a little more intimate. They have a standard ($19.99) and premium ($23.99) option for their all-you-can eat menu. They also have a regular menu you can order off with classic Japanese appetizers and entrees. I usually go for the standard all-you-can eat option which has a good variety to choose from. I usually order A LOT of salmon nigiri. To be honest, their fish to rice ratio isn't amazing, but for the price I think it's pretty fair. The fish quality is decent, but also not amazing. I've never seen the restaurant super crowded, so the service is pretty quick. And the servers are always super nice. I would recommend trying out this place! read more

So I called but the girl on the phone does not speak English very well and didnt what I was saying and all I said was I had two orders . So that aside I went there and placed an order. So then my order came right 44 she added a 20 percent tip that I did not approve and then she said that she did not. My card was charged 53 dollars and she acted like she did not know what I was talking about . So I won't be back bc they need to get this together . read more

We were the only ones in the restaurant on Sunday afternoon. Service was not very good at all. Slow to take our order and refill drinks. The edamame was ok. Not bad, not great. All three of the sushi rolls were really good though! However the mochi was nasty....we ordered mango and strawberry. The strawberry was so badly freezer burned that the rice paper was HARD ( not frozen, but dried up and hard), and they covered it in whip cream and chocolate sauce. I've never had it that way before, and hope not to ever again. Disappointed, because I used to go here pre-Covid all the time and the appetizers/sushi/service/dessert used to be really great. We had a first time sushi eater with us and I took them to this location specifically because of the wonderful experiences I've had in the past. We won't be going back here though read more

We came to get sushi with my friends late in the evening today & Tina were the one who was helping us ! She was super friendly and helpful !
