    Went to lunch with my daughter her and we got the all you can eat. It was a great deal. I got crab Rangoon and pot stickers for my appetizer and spicy crab and spicy salmon rolls. I enjoyed everything. The rolls were fresh and delicious and very filling. My appetizers were hot and tasty as well. Our server was amazing - very friendly and helpful. They offer indoor and patio seating. It was a nice day and we ate outside. It was a great lunch spot!

    The BEST Crab Rangoon. Light and crispy. The sweet and sour sauce is delicious

    We always enjoy Sushi Ai. They have some of the freshest sushi in town, in our opinion. And of course their All You Can Eat menu is what we order from, since it's most economical, without loss of quality. Their bubble Clayton store has moved to a larger new facility, but on the same street. I love the big windows and the outdoor light that beams into the dining area. Our server was very nice and exhibited excellent customer service skills.

    Came with a friend at 4:30 after work and we're seated right away. Our server was attentive and brought out waters quickly which were in nice big glasses. The menu was big but they only gave us one menu on top of the all you can eat sushi menus that are always on the table but we didn't want the all you can eat. We both ordered two rolls each. I got a California roll and the vegetable roll. The veggie roll was the highlight. It was a nice balance of savory and sweet from the sweet potato. They always give a little plate with ginger and wasabi and a spit to pour out soy sauce. It got pretty busy by the time we left and they ask you don't take a table for longer than two hours. I love the new location it's so big and nice. I'll be coming back if I want sushi. Street parking.

    This is the only place I go to for sushi. I love the Fried St. Louis Roll. It never fails me. You order your meal using the forms at the table; everything is so efficient there. Prices are reasonable, service is pretty good, and the space in Clayton is always really clean.

    GUYS. Don't want to gatekeep and am so proud bc I love this location compared to others I've been to. THEY'VE MOVED LOCATIONS!! Literally further down the sidewalk where old location used to be across from Smoothie King, AQ Nail Spa, and KINK Hair. I always thought the space at Clayton location was smaller than their potential. Every time I've gone especially during peak hours such as dinner there would be people waiting outside waiting for tables because there is such limited seating, every table would be full, etc. Today, my friend and I were so so pleasantly surprised when we saw the new location. I was internally jumping for joy. I have attached pictures bc their address is not updated that I know of yet. Our server said they just moved last week and I think it was long overdue! There is AMPLE seating now, decently spread out, and even outdoor seating! Ambience is very nice, sleek, clean, but welcoming. My friend and I said we felt so "bougie" coming in lol. They have updated their menus including the AYCE dinner menu (forgot to snap a pic of the lunch AYCE sorry). Drinks were great, food was so tasty and actually better than before in my friend's and I opinion. Would 10000% be coming back again and HIGHLY recommend.

    You can never go wrong with the paper slip for 24.99! Ambiance is nice, love the change of the location as it's open and welcoming. Food has always hit the spot:

    Pro tip if you plan on going to the clayton sushi ai location - don't. Service was ass i genuinely saw one of the waiters make eye contact with me holding a menu out and just blow clean past me, food took forever to come out, and not because it took a long time to make - i could see the food on the counter just sitting there its just that nobody bothered to bring it to us. Crunchy stuff had gone stale, they combined me and my dad's crab rangoons so i didnt get any sauce with it, and i couldnt even finish my sushi because the pieces were like, soggy?? And the nigiri smelled and tasted quite off, would not be surprised if i end up getting food poisoning. If you are in clayton and you want sushi you are genuinely better off making the drive to a completely different location 15 minutes away. 1 star.

    AYCE

    Sushi AI's lunch AYCE is our go-to! Not only is a great deal, but the quality is consistent and service is always great. Absolutely love the new location, it is much bigger and has tons of natural light.

    I've been coming to Sushi Ai since their old location and I'm really happy with the new spot. It's about four stores down now and the space feels very modern and more upscale. I like that they went with an open design concept. It makes the place feel bigger and cleaner. They have new workers and everyone is super efficient. It still gets very busy, even during a weekday lunch, but if you come closer to 3 pm it definitely dies down. Overall, I've never had any complaints here and the quality has stayed consistent through the move. My only ask is please keep the price point the same. It's one of the reasons I keep coming back.

    I went for the all you can eat (AYCE) sushi. It's a very fair price of 25 dollars. They had tons of different options between rolls and nigiri. The sushi was flavorful and fresh! I was surprised how much I loved the salmon rolls. The server checked frequently for new orders to keep the sushi coming. It's an open concept and it was really cool to see them making all the sushi. With that being said I sat at the bar and it was annoying to have the servers keep having to come right next to you to pick up orders. I would get a table next time.

    They moved to a new location! It is a block down N Central Ave now (I believe 44 N Central Ave, which is still not reflected in Google Maps). The new space is definitely an upgrade- more seating, modern decor. Same sushi bar set up but now it is more elegant/emphasizes. Sushi AI is my boyfriend and I's guilty pleasure. When we have a craving for sushi and our stomachs being challenged to their limits... We usually come for the UNBEATABLE lunch all you can eat, but tried the dinner deal this time. It's $9 more expensive, but certainly worth it with an extended menu, particularly the grilled squid and chicken (yaki). The nigiri is not my favorite, as sometimes the fish does not taste the most fresh. I enjoyed the rainbow roll and spicy girl roll, and my boyfriend liked the american dream roll and the rock n' roll. While the sushi roll options cannot parallel those of a coastal sushi restaurant, the deal at Sushi AI is truly special, and I consider it a fixture of St. Louis.

    Very solid sushi place located right in the heart of Clayton. Great vibes and great service would definitely go back. not the absolute best sushi in the world, but it's fresh and that's the most important part.

    There are much better sushi places to order by the roll, however the price is pretty good if you make it AYCE.

Ours was amazing, she said "we don't fork shame here" I fork shame, but she refused. Good for her! I also ordered a cocktail. I would arrive to Sado just for this cocktail, it had a coconut pillow top, that was reminiscent of a marshmallow. Delightful compliment to my savory dinner. I was very surprised at the size of Sado on the inside, we made a turn into the seating then a second turn deeper into seating. I did not get to check out the bathrooms, which disappointed me, but the ambiance was very dark and romantic, also unexpected, there were several tables of friend groups.

While I stood at the bar to peruse the lengthy menu the lady walked near me several times in haste with a notepad prompting my order. It wasn't busy but I felt rushed. I placed the order and watched the order be prepared within a few minutes. When the lady brought the receipt I noticed 15% gratuity was added. Appalling, especially since I wasn't offered water, a seat while I waited, nor was I greeted with a hello, a smile or thanked for coming in. Maybe the automatic gratuity is the very reason for the lack of hospitality here. The lack of hostility is the very reason I will never return. P.S. the sushi was decent. There are 100 alternatives I'd rather frequent for a pleasant experience. ~Christy

The waiter was warm and knowledgeable, telling us stories and background on the food and beverage we had. His father is the chef and his mom does all the flower arrangements at the restaurant. It's beautifully decorated and sophisticated. There were two of us and we went with the 4-course $100 Omakase, which had 2 options and we did one of each: Omakase Nigiri and Chirashi. The food here was delicious and I can't remember all the items I had, but it started with a Tsukidashi tasting followed by a soup. Between the two options, I would opt for Omakase Nigiri next time. The wine and sake pairing was terrific, which introduced us to so many new beverages. Dessert is a must, especially at $5. The matcha mousse was airy and fantastic.

The dishes were really unique and had flavor combos that surprised me (Japanese potato with beet stem and peppercorn, cucumber with cooked seaweed). A couple things to note: they played no music so it was very quiet inside, they're fairly heavy handed with wasabi, and it's quite expensive. Overall, a good STL experience with the cutest little fam running it.
