    The sushi, service, and 20% off daily happy hour were all excellent. I had the Seared Toro Roll with the Toro raw instead of seared. It was very tasty and satisfying. I ordered the Tataki Special Roll and it left me full & happy. The waitress was very kind and upbeat, so I'd definitely return! They also have a Los Feliz location, if you're off the 5.

    I had Happy Hour dinner here! The food was great and our server was excellent!! My only thing was the music was not good. Change your playlist and you get 5 stars!

    Spicy edamame BEWARE

    I was craving sushi & our son said Sushi Ai was his favorite so we went and it was absolutely delicious! Everything was super fresh & our server was polite & efficient. One warning: the spicy edamame is HOT so beware.

    We wanted to try another sushi spot on 2nd Street and picked Sushi Ai for the outdoor seating. We were the first to arrive just after they opened at noon. A sign indicated that we could pick our own table and once we did, the server was quick to arrive and let us know that we could choose from the Happy Hour menu which gives you 20% of a selection of appetizers and rolls along with a variety of beers. We opted to order off the regular menu and tried the Baked Jumbo Scallop, Eel Crunch Roll and the Sashimi 9pc lunch special, which included Tuna, Salmon, and White Fish for 19.99. The Baked Scallop arrived steaming hot and was so flavorful. Along with the Eel Crunch all the sauces were so well balanced. The Sashimi tasted fresh and was filling. Overall, a delicious meal with great service!

    Sashimi lunch
    Trisha S.

    Amazing quality of sushi. It is a little on the pricier side- but it's definitely worth it. They have lunch specials which are perfect. I enjoy their carpaccios, the sauce they used for my tuna was amazing!

    Bento box
    Kenny Y.

    Sushi Ai is one of my favorite sushi restaurants for a few reasons. The staff is personable and actually talks to you (on slower days), sushi/nigiri is fresh, and it's clean. As you walk in, you're greeted by the staff. I like many of the options on the menu - there's sushi, nigiri, bento boxes, udon, and bowls. It's a simple menu but it has many of my favorites. My go to are the bento boxes, bowls, and fresh sushi. However, prepare to spend a little more. It is more on the steeper side!

    Tofu bowl
    Nicole A.

    Yum! They have a new menu! Tried there tofu bowl it was bomb!! Definitely coming back! Good for my vegetarian friends! Highly recommend

    Just the rest of delicious sashimi ! Thank you so much to be very nice with the food that I am eating!! Salmon Sashimi

    What a delicious food is here, at Sushi Ai. Thanks Cristopher, you are always an amazing chef!!

    Fire Roll
    Vinny G.

    Self seating during slower hours. Servers are polite and friendly. I'd recommend getting some type of appetizer since the rolls take some time to freshly prepare. Baked mussels are a personal favorite along with shishito peppers. I usually get the Spicy Alaska or Fire roll. The restaurant is quite relaxed. Chefs are often open to having a chat which also gives it a lively ambiance. Always a pleasure to eat here! They have a happy hour with select rolls at a 20% discount.

    7/22/23 Finally trying Sushi Ai

    7/22/23 Finally stopped in to try Sushi Ai We've passed by this sushi joint about a few dozen times, so hubby was feeling like having sushi today-Why not give it a Go? We rolled in, no wait at 10 pm on a Saturday night. Initially, our server was Maria, then Angie stepping in. Hubby ordered salmon roll, Scottish pepper salmon with garlic ponzu & Fire-i guess he was really famished. I opted to get the Sushi & sashimi dinner--this was highly satisfying. The fish was sliced THICK, the sushi chef didn't skimp at all. It tasted fresh, great mouthfeel. It was silky smooth. Presentation looked a bit sloppy but the food tasted great. Hubby gave his rolls the two thumbs up! Service by Angle was fairly prompt but not as attentive as we'd like. We sat outside by the sidewalk & people watched as we dined. For the price we paid, I expected better/attentive service. Highly satisfied with our meal.

    Blue Fin Toro Sushi
    Diana V.

    Oooof sushi ai is so underrated & was honestly so surprised there wasn't as much people. But hey, I guess I can't complain about a line. Very good sushi for a decent cost. I live in the Bay Area though im desensitized to the cost of dining out LULZ. But anyway, I got a salad, 2-piece toro and 3 additional rolls for ONLY $89. Like what an absolute steal! The service was quick and staff was so friendly. Ambiance is pretty casual which is nice if you want good sushi and a chill date night. I'm definitely coming back! Toro = MELT in your mouth delicious. If I could just eat toro and not break my account I would. Hawaiian Garlic Roll = OMFG. The holy grail. The butter flavor in this roll adds next level. Jumbo scallop roll = delicious flavor but felt unsure about how overcooked the scallops were on top. Crispy onion roll: delicious but not my favorite. Between the fish, flavor and crispy salad and onion on top it felt too acidic.

    If you're looking for a solid Thai spot in Long Beach, this has become one of our family's feel…read moregood go to places. Every dish we've tried has been full of flavor and genuinely worth ordering. Surprisingly, compared to other Thai spots, it's usually not overly packed and honestly I'm almost scared to say that because I don't want it to change. The service has always been great, the food comes out quickly, and the portions/prices feel reasonable. So far, our favorites have been the pad see ew, tom yum soup (medium spice), egg fried rice, fried calamari and the beef BBQ which was so good we immediately ordered a second plate. The mango sticky rice is also really good, but the portion is on the smaller side, so we ended up getting two orders since one plate is hard to share with more than 2-3 people. Parking has been easy for us so far since there's both a parking lot and nearby street parking. Definitely one of our favorite restaurants that's officially in our regular rotation.

    KIN Thai Cuisine in Long Beach off Broadway is a really solid spot…read more Parking is available, but it is limited, so just keep that in mind depending on the time you go. The restaurant itself is nice and clean, including the restrooms, which I always appreciate. The staff was very customer service oriented and did a great job making suggestions and giving tips about the menu and spice levels, which was super helpful. I started with the Money Bags, which are basically fried dumplings. Mine were a little overcooked, almost close to burnt. They still had decent flavor, but I'd personally rate them about a 2.9 out of 5. I also had the green papaya salad with mild spice, and the spice level was perfect, especially for people who are sensitive to heat. I usually stick around medium spice at Thai restaurants, but even the mild here still gives you a nice kick. For my drink, I got the Thai tea, which came topped with a Thai tea popsicle that slowly melted into the drink. Such a cute touch, creative, and tasty. For my entrée, I had the basil garlic sauce with sliced steak and a side of rice, which I really enjoyed. For dessert, we shared the mango sticky rice. It was good, but I do feel like it was a little overpriced for the portion size. Maybe part of that is because of the specialty rice they use that has the purple hue. I know a few places in Long Beach where you can get more for the same price. That said, the presentation was really cute with the flower garnish and everything looked beautiful. The atmosphere was nice. It has an open kitchen concept, so you can actually see the cooking happening, which adds to the experience. Seating is somewhat limited and the tables are fairly close together in certain sections, especially where the divider walls are, so you can definitely hear nearby conversations depending on where you sit. Great food, clean restaurant, and strong customer service. I'd definitely come back. Flavor Profile (for reference): Umami-forward (savory, salty depth) Acidic or bright (tangy + sour) Pungent and intense (spicy and bitter notes) Drink Preference (for reference): Bitter-forward cocktails Balanced acidity Light sweetness only, not overly sugary

Overall, I'm so glad this is the place we chose to meet at! On a Wednesday night we were able to walk in and had no trouble getting a table for 4. The aesthetic is the standout feature of the place. The main bar is beautifully decorated and there are spacious booths to eat at as well. My favorite part was the two additional "secret" bar areas! While sitting in the main bar area you would have no idea there are additional rooms. Exploring the other rooms was a fun, unique part of the visit. The drinks were photo worthy as well as tasted great. The bar tender was attentive and adjusted my drink based on how much sweetness I like. The lychee margarita was my favorite because they light it up table side for a fun presentation! The food tasted great and was very affordable priced! Our group ordered multiple items and shared them family style, which seems to be a common approach here. The shrimp fried rice was delicious and my favorite food item. One order was plenty to share between 4 people. Per our server's request, we also tried the cucumber salad which was really refreshing and a great side. I tried the popcorn chicken but honestly they packed a kick and were too spicy for me, so be warned. In sum, the service, food, drinks, and ambiance were great and I will definitely be back!

Overwhelmingly recommend this place, just maybe order a lot up-front so you don't end up waiting around for more. It also has 2 speakeasys attached to the "main" restaraunt, but book early as those spots are even harder to get into.
