Had lunch with a friend. My first time here, and her first time at the new location in the former Culpeppers site. The outside looks welcoming with great signage. Inside, you're greeted with a handwritten sign telling you not to stay longer than two hours. (See photo.) This seems like an issue staff could deal with in a more tactful way. My friend had a large order that looked amazing. She planned to take leftovers home. I ordered just one thing, but it was delicious. The crunch on top added the perfect texture to the rolls. I'll be going back and trying more things. By the way, we stayed more than two hours chatting. No one said anything to us, but there were plenty of empty tables so it wasn't an issue. read more

How this place has 4 stars I'll never understand. They're serving up a fast food version of Sushi here that, while cheap, is very low grade (worse than the pre assembled stuff you can grab at the grocery store). Substandard ingredients like fake krab and low quality fish just really turned us off. Rolls that should be chilled were room temp; so much so I was hesitant to eat it. Hubs roughed it out tho. He said the tuna had a funky, fishy taste and lacked that smooth, melt in your mouth texture that excellent sushi has. The rolls were so poorly prepared they just fell apart when we tried to pick them up. Sweet potatoes were raw. They did have GF tamari tho which I appreciated. The only bright spot was our server Kenny. She was super knowledgeable about food allergies and was friendly & upbeat. The grumpy barracuda working the front desk though, not so much. If you don't want to work with people please just stay home. Sorry but this is a one and done for us. We won't be back. served read more

I want to revisit my review from my first impression, after eating at their new location a couple of times. The service is still incredibly slow (lunch and dinner), and the better cuts seem to be reserved for dinner. The quality of the food is hit or miss and just seems like the plates are out waiting to be picked up and handed over longer than they need to be. Although the ambiance is nicer and larger, it doesn't take away from the lack of service. Maybe they were never meant to accommodate a larger space with how long the wait is. Also, this location is wrought with mosquitos and ants which is so bizarre to see while eating raw fish... Makes me wonder how they keep their seafood. read more

I had a hankering for vegetable tempura, snow white roll, and a peek at their new digs. My order was ready within the app range. They have a nice counter area set up for carryout/app orders. New place (former culpeppers if i remember correctly) has been freshened up and is nice and bright. Looks much more roomy and the chair I waited in was comfy. I look forward to our next dine-in. read more

Sushi Ai - Spicy crab roll, pop roll, jalapeño roll - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - St Charles, Missouri

This new location is very aesthetic and clean! We came for a girls night and shared a few rolls from the dinner combo list! We had the American dream, California, pop up, rainbow, spicy tuna, spider, St. Louis, and wasabi crunch rolls as well as the crab Rangoon and chicken skewers appetizers. These were some of the best crab Rangoon I've had from a local spot in a while and the chicken skewers were also surprisingly good! My favorite rolls were the pop-up and wasabi crunch (I liked the crunch so much I ended up back here the same week to get another!). The waitstaff is super friendly and accommodating. If you are gluten free they do have gluten free soy sauce upon request! read more

The new location for Sushi Ai in St. Charles is much larger, spacious and aesthetically pleasing! I went on a Tuesday where all you can eat is by one, get one 50% off. Love GLUTEN FREE options and they were able to accommodate well with tamari instead of soy sauce and service with choosing gluten free rolls. i am unsure about cross contamination for people with celiac. overall impressed with the taste and quality of the sushi as well as timeliness! This sushi location is affordable for the quality! read more

Sushi Ai is great value if you are looking for an AYCE sushi spot. The ordering process is easy, and the dinner menu comes with a lot of different options for rolls and appetizers. My favorites were the St. Louis and Volcano roll. The sweet honey cream cheese was unique and a good touch to the dish. However, the one bad part about the meal was all of the fried dishes or parts of a roll came out soggy. Next time, I would avoid getting anything fried and stick to other options. Besides that, everything was delicious. Furthermore, the restaurant was very clean and not too busy for a Sunday night dinner. The food came out fairly quickly and had no problems when I needed to order more food. I'll definitely come back to try more rolls and appetizers. read more

We waited about 10 mins on a Friday night and my goodness was it worth it! I've never been to This location but i've been to the ofallon one and I love it. I got the shrimp habachi with fried rice and my boyfriend got the dinner special. I got a lemon drop (which was surprisingly delicious) and my boyfriend got a beer. For $58, I feel like I got more than my moneys worth! My food was so tasty and came with salad and miso soup. My boyfriend go so much sushi and shrimp dumplings and it was so good! read more

I eat at the restaurant often. I line the sushi, price and service. I went on a Sunday and had my first frustrating visit. The young couple next to us had a child about 4 and a baby. They proceeded to let their older child watch videos on his iPad without headphones. It was not a pleasant meal. If the child had headphones it would have been a pleasant meal. I would like the employees to step in and ask nicely for the iPad to be turned off or to use headphones. read more

Always quality sushi, I often order to-go, service has never been bad, but not amazing.

This place never disappoints!! The food is fantastic. The service is friendly. The AYCE is worth the price. One of our favorite spots in town. Just tried the cranberry salmon roll....one of the best sushi rolls I have ever eaten, definitely worth a try!!! If they are busy expect to wait for a table and remember that not the staffs fault they are just that good. Just saw the VIP card as much as we go we may have to give that a go too. read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants. The staff is wonderful, friendly, and checks with us often. Tonight our server was Erica. She could not have done her job any better. The food, as always, was wonderful. I had General Tso, and my wife had Udon noodles. Both dishes could not have been prepared any better. I also had the Gyoza dumplings. I am 77 years old, and have eaten at many Asian restaurants. These dumplings are the best I have ever tasted. The servings were plentiful, as we brought 1/2 of our dinner home. Congratulations to the Chef. We look forward to many more dinners here, and look forward to your new location. Thank you to all the staff that has served us over the years. We have never had a bad experience. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

I was glad that I went to this location for my first time at Sushi Ai. My partner went to the one in Clayton and Maryland Height before, but he liked this location more, in term of the quality and variety. Sushi here was decent. liked the American dream and Maryland rolls the most. Price is relatively cheap $14.99 for lunch, and $23.99 for dinner AYCE sushi. Good ambiance and fantastic service. read more

The lunch specials are the best to grab here if you want a light and quick option during work. Service is fast and friendly and they make sure you are taken care of every order. The interior is nice but could use an update... but overall it works considering the prices for the meals. Make sure to check out there all you can eat sushi for dinner too! read more

Service was the worst!!! After being seated by the host, NOT one single worker/server stopped by to take our drink or food order, over 25 minutes! The place was not busy. We were totally ignored. read more

Lovely place for a casual lunch with a friend. The space is inviting and well decorated with walls of faux bamboo, very cozy. You cannot beat the $14.99 lunch all you can eat. The Maryland roll was delightful. This is my new favorite Sushi AI location because they also have ice cream! Seriously, grab a scoop of the green tea ice cream for an additional 99 cents. You won't regret it. Our server was quite friendly, and all our food was pretty quick. It's no Nobu, but for sushi in Missouri, it scratches an itch and is an affordable option. read more

Seated us very quickly, and for a full house, we got our food really fast!! Service was lovely. The waitress accidentally added a roll onto my partners order, and since he couldn't finish the extra roll from the AYCE menu, she didn't charge him extra. Everything tasted fresh. The raw rolls were smaller, but that's ok. I left insanely full and happy! read more

We were comfortably seated immediately upon arrival. The ambiance is casual and clean. The helpful, kind waitstaff took our drink orders. She returned promptly with them and took our food order. We had the Halloween Roll, Fried salmon Roll, miso soup, seaweed salad, spicy lover platter, Philadelphia roll, and tea all around. All together we had so many kinds of sushi to try. Every single roll was perfectly prepared, the soup was hot, the seaweed salad was cold, and the tea crispy fresh. This was a tasty family meal and we will be back! read more

The food snob in me says that this is not good gourmet sushi, but the glutton in me says what a great deal for made-to-order, all you can eat sushi with a great variety of choices, as well as good appetizer options. The service is friendly, and they seem very keen to offer more rounds of ordering additional food than I have space in my stomach! read more

Was greeted by a nice fish tank upon entering the restaurant. There is a very large cute goldfish in the tank. He was nothing but smiles, it seemed as if he was fully conscious. How sweet!! I enjoyed the sweet potato roll and Rock n' Roll. I would get the sweet potato roll again, however, I would not get the Rock n' Roll again because it had more of a "fishy" taste. The restaurant layout itself was very tight and intimate. Tables were closer together than expected, making for a very intimate experience with everyone else dining in. With that said, that does not take away from the experience! Service was great, servers and workers were very kind. read more

We always come here and typically order online. For some reason, we just love this place for our comfort food, and they never disappoint. We typically order the chicken, fried rice and edamame's. The edamame's are perfect because they're not overly Saltillo get some restaurants. The chicken fried rice is delicious. Sometimes it's a hit or miss her with the chicken, but I will say it's very thin chicken, but it is full of flavor I've never had any issues with this restaurant and it's always super clean and they're very prompt when it comes to go orders read more

will definitely be returning! food was fresh and yummy and there wasn't too long of a wait either.

My daughter and I had lunch here, and it was decent. The sweet honey roll, is too sweet. I couldn't eat. The shrimp tempura roll was good. The service was spot on, but the ambiance was loud due to them being busy. I would eat here again and order a different roll. read more

We came here for AYCE lunch which is a great deal at $15/person. They have a reduced menu for lunch which is typical of AYCE places, but they still had plenty options! The Jalapeno roll was my favorite! They had a good mix of raw and cooked rolls. They do not have many non-sushi options on the AYCE. I also loved that they had a deep fried Oreo on the menu for a tasty, decadent treat! The restaurant was clean and the service was efficient despite it being packed at lunch on Tuesday! read more

I'm from the east coast and am more picky than people who have grown up in the Midwest. It was "OK", but I wouldn't make a special trip.

Food is fantastic. Service is very reliable and attentive. Lovely but small space. Would love to see them expand the footprint.

Excellent food and service. Reasonably priced! Atmosphere was pleasant and inviting. Had hot saki, hot tea, an appetizer, 2 bowls of soup, 2 rolls and 2 desserts. Bill was $38 with tax. read more

In the past, I would rate their food as slightly better than average, however, not so on my last visit, which was this past Saturday about 5 o'clock, so it was early the restaurant was not that busy. I have had their Gerald towels, chicken and orange chicken a number of times and it was always fairly good this time however, when the waitress brought the jaw tall ticket to me, I said it could use a little bit more sauce. Could you bring me out a little more because it was a bit skimpy compared to what I've had in the past, she came back a few minutes later and said I will have to charge you four dollars if you want more and I said forget about it and I went on to tell the manager before I left that the four of us will never be back there again in my if something restaurants always I repeat always go out of their way to make small corrections to make sure that there is consistency and that the food is as it should be, it would've probably cost them $.50 to bring me out a third of a cup more but for that they've lost and many of dollars going bad judgment on their part also to finalize this time the iceberg was mushy. Do not recommend this restaurant. read more

The food is always excellent here. I love the atmosphere. It's relaxing and fun! However, I just went in Saturday 8/25. I saw a customer come in with their dog. I couldn't believe it was aloud in the restaurant. I think this is unsanitary as dogs can shed, also some people could be allergic. I'm so disappointed. I love dogs and I guess if it was a service animal that may warrant an exception but this clearly was someone's pet. Once you allow a dog soon after you will have people bringing their cats, and who knows what else. I don't think I've seen any restaurant allow animals. Hmm. read more

Always good and same taste at each location. Take out is worth it but all you can eat is also such a great deal read more

Love the food. The service and the ambiance of the places. But the food is number one in my book

I have celiac disease, I pretty much only eat at sushi restaurants because of the possibility of cross-contact with bread products at other restaurants. I used the Uber Eats app and on each item ordered, I made sure there was a reference to the need for it to be gluten free. I even wrote I hope to enjoy doing business with them in the future. I got my 2 rolls, they were covered in eel sauce, which Eric S. said at AI sushi was not gluten free when I called him on the phone. They said there was no special instructions order given and that I should call Uber Eats. Called Uber Eats, the guy said there were no notes on the order and hung up on my when I asked where my note would have gotten deleted. $45 later, I'm still hungry. Not happy with having to throw away two beautiful sushi rolls. My husband had the crab rangoon and said it was fine, but the fried Oreos were meh. read more
