What ad Great sushi! I stopped here when I was in town on the business trip, and I could not have been happier with this place! The sushi was really fresh and fantastic. The edamame was hot and salted just ripped plus, they did a good job, knowing about what was gluten-free for celiac like me. Inside had a casual vibe that would make anyone feel welcome. read more

Really fantastic sushi! My family and I had the miso soup and cucumber salad for starters and then we had the Lemon Roll, OMG Roll, Cucumber Roll, Radish Roll, and the Vegetarian Lemon Roll. Everything was very delicious, personal favorites were the OMG and the Radish Roll. Reasonably priced and small but with plenty of seating. Service was attentive and helpful. Great Sushi for Colorado, from a good living in the coast! read more

Husband and I went here for a late lunch on a Monday. Wasn't busy. The server was kind! Brought us out our food in a timely manner and served us well. The sushi was a 4/5. It's hard to mess sushi up! We ordered the toro (fatty tuna), which the texture felt more like chutoro (medium fatty tuna), but still good. Also ordered the yellowtail nigiri and spicy salmon roll which was good as well. As for the roll, I ordered the Super Crunch... 4/5 (too many crunchies). Environment was quiet and relaxing. Overall, just a good basic sushi restaurant. read more

This place is not far at all from Fort Carson. It's in a nice little shopping area, and it wasn't crowded when I went for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. I ordered two rolls(spicy tuna and crunchy) and some green tea to wash it down. They also have bento specials, but I was craving sushi. I might try the bentos next time. Their name speaks for itself. It takes a while for the rolls to come out, but they make it with ai!! It's worth the wait. The service was great, and they didn't hover!! Check them out!!! read more

A lazy afternoon we decided to order from sushi Ai because we were hungry and tired. The menu has lots of great options and we opted for 5 rolls and fried gyoza. The good: the food was pretty yummy. Some of the rolls were too spicy for my taste but otherwise tasted great. The fish tasted fresh and everything was beautifully packed. Prices were reasonable per roll. The bad: Rolls take FOREVER to prepare. Now I do appreciate the attention to detail, but keep this in mind if you are tired and hungry. We ended up eating wayyyy late while waiting for food. The verdict: I will definitely order again and try different rolls on their menu! read more

If I could rate 0 star I would. 1 Caterpillar roll shouldn't take an hour when we were the first of 2 tables to be seated in the restaurant. When asked about the caterpillar roll, the server that took our order, said the chefs are swamped, there's only 3 other tables occupied. Watching the other tables receive their sushi order we asked again about our 1 caterpillar roll. The only roll that we ordered. And the excuse was, they have to grill the unagi. Worst service, I had to ask twice and motion once for tea refills. We ordered 1 "Bibimbop" they forgot the gochujang and spoon, 2 orders of hamachi, 2 orders of maguro, 1 order of amaebi, 1 order caterpillar roll, and 1 order of tempura calamari. Every thing but the caterpillar roll was delivered within the first 30 min. The quality was ok, the sushi rice could have been packed smaller and tighter. The service needs work, not once was water refilled, and I had to ask twice and motion once for my tea to be filled, all the while the front of the house staff was talking to each other. 0 stars in my opinion, it's rated no.3 on trip advisor. This was my first and also last visit to this establishment. read more

Waitress said they are always this busy but apparently don't staff to it on paydays. I have no idea what's in my order but had to get going and there were no chop sticks nothing.

It was plenty to warm us up and lightened the atmosphere at our table, after a long day at work. We both order a Shrimp Tempura Spring roll and discovered one between us would have been plenty. I ordered sushimi octopus and yellow tail tuna. OMG. The octopus was perfect. With a hint of the ocean sweetness. The Yellow fin was scrumptous. The owner brought a plate of hot Edomie ? Lightly salted with a fine sea salt and warm centers of beans. The Mooki was a good finish. read more

I have dined at Sushi Ai on a few occasions- their sushi tastes great...until about thirty minutes later when I am in upper-intestinal agony. I thought the first time was a fluke so I brushed it off. The second time I ate there the food, as usual, was great tasting- until, as aforementioned, I was doubled-over my toilet. I do not know if the fish products they are using is expired, if I have received "off" sushi on the few occasions I have visited, or if there is a bigger issue the board of health needs to investigate. I am an avid sushi eater (Tomo Sushi / Fujiyama) so I know my stomach can handle the raw-fish. If you have the stomach of a goat you may be ok, if you're just a typical human you may want to bring a few Imodium with you. read more

Don't skip the house-made cinnamon-ginger tea--it packs a warm, delicious punch and is the perfect way to round out the meal. And the banchan?

Today, I ordered the Spicy Bulgogi lunch special. With it came the soup, Kim Chi (2 varieties), Korean potato salad and rice, not to mention a pretty appetizing Spicy Bulgogi. It had the right spice quotient and most astonishingly, packed meat quality that was relatively good--all for a paltry $13! Everything was quite good, no, not at the level of LA's Koreatown's finest. But considering the price, the generosity, the overall quality, and most notably, the fact that we are in Colorado Springs, a foodie's worst nightmare, as a venue, this place scores highly with me. My apologies for the quality of the photos. I was rushed somewhat. I would encourage you to try this restaurant and sample the spicy bulgogi.

I note, though that the surcharge percent was based on total plus tax, which seemed wrong.

The best service we've had in a LONG TIME!…read more We walked right in at 5pm and were instantly greeted by the chef and waiter. They were so warm and kind and even offered us complimentary miso soup. The recommendations were GREAT and the menu items had the cutest names! We tried the Nevada, Vermont, and got a California roll from the Bento box (which was a GREAT deal). Just a cute find right off the Main Street of downtown. 10/10

It feels like a good bargain spot, which explains the popularity. I wasn't super impressed, but I understand the value. We did wait almost an hour to be served, which is longer than most places. The ambiance is your standard sushi-spot vibe. If I come back, I'd stick with the spicy tuna rolls since I liked them more than the specialty rolls, which is rare for me. If you're looking for decent sushi at a cheaper price and you don't mind waiting, this place could be up your alley. Happy eating!

Update to my review from ~8 years ago. We STILL love this place…read more My husband loves the soup and the cake! We went most recently for brunch.

It's not often that I can say every item I order is great but at Shuga's everything really is…read moregreat. Shuga's Favorite Cafe Tray is an order that could satisfy one's entire meal but is best when shared as a starter or if you are looking for a light meal. The Mediterranean selection with the hummus and tapenade is amazing with the coconut shrimp soup being a must try with its creamy and spiciness. Though I love the almond butter cake the most to add a little dessert to the meal. The Madame of the Pletzl is one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. The bagel is perfectly salted and has a wonderful crunch the sandwich needs. The egg melts into the sandwich, mixing with everything it needs to. The ham is fried up to crisp it up a bit but the ham seems to be lacking flavor wise compared to everything else in the sandwich. The Cuban Mojo Sandwich also is an amazing sandwich. The pork shoulder is crisped up nicely and works so well with everything else. The winter soup was a tomato soup with some grilled cheese croutons and it is the best tomato soup I've ever had. The tomato soup isn't puréed, there are noticeable definitions in the tomatoes in the soup. The soup isn't too acidic which is the usual issue in tomato soups. The croutons really amplify this dish on to another level and I just wish there were more in my soup. I can't wait to come back here and my biggest issue will to try and order new things.
