The sushi here is seriously good! Everything came out looking fresh and beautifully put together,…read moreand the rolls were packed with flavor. I especially loved the specialty rolls with the fresh fish on top, spicy mayo, and all the little toppings. They definitely don't skimp on the fish, and the portions felt worth it. We ordered a few different rolls for the table, which is definitely the way to go because there were so many good options. Everything tasted fresh, the presentation was beautiful, and nothing was drowning in sauce. The restaurant itself has a pretty casual atmosphere, so it's an easy spot for a sushi night when you want really good food without anything too fancy. I'd absolutely come back and try more of the menu.

If waiting were an Olympic sport, this restaurant would be taking home the gold medal every year…read more I've given this place chance after chance over the last year, hoping each visit would be the one where everything finally clicked. Instead, it's become a masterclass in patience. The employees seem to have discovered the secret to unlimited break time because every visit they're either in the front or the back enjoying conversations while customers stand around wondering if they've accidentally become invisible. When I judge a sushi restaurant, I keep it simple: miso soup and a basic roll. If you can't make the opening act exciting, I'm probably not sticking around for the encore. Unfortunately, the miso tasted like someone waved a seaweed packet over hot water and called it a day, and the basic rolls had all the excitement of eating cardboard with a gym membership. Then there's the outside food policy. Apparently, if your toddler dares to nibble on a chicken nugget from next door while the rest of the family orders sushi, the Food Police are ready for action. You could walk in wearing a tuxedo made of hundred-dollar bills and order the entire menu, but one tiny bite of outside food? That's apparently the culinary equivalent of a federal crime. The strange part is that the restaurant actually has potential. The problem isn't the building... it's the complete lack of urgency. Watching customers wait while staff casually chat feels less like dining out and more like watching a sitcom where everyone forgot they're supposed to be working. After a year of giving this place more second chances than a reality TV contestant, I'm officially done. If you're in Escondido, do yourself a favor: spin around, point in a random direction, Google "sushi near me," and you'll probably find a place where the staff remembers customers exist. I genuinely wanted to like this restaurant. Unfortunately, the service disappeared faster than the flavor in the miso soup.

Great food, service and atmosphere. Stopped in for a quick lunch. I enjoyed a roll combo which…read moreallows for a selection of a basic roll and a premium roll from a pre-selected assortment. I picked a Spicy Tuna roll and a Lemon roll. Sushi was really fresh and tasted amazing. We also ordered a lunch bento box with teriyaki chicken and California roll. Chicken was delicious and flame-grilled. The salad had a really good dressing on it and the soup and veggies were great additions. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for Japanese cuisine in the area.

Wow! I'm so so sad! We came on a Saturday afternoon.... Probably 4 or 5 tables.... 3 of those were…read more2 tops! The service was incredibly slow and very disorganized! One waitress was giving people the wrong food and not paying attention at all, she was just sort of walking around giving people the wrong orders. Problem was I had time to just sit and watch the mess. I wanted to order the poke bowl but I couldn't decide if I wanted the salmon or tuna. I asked the waiter what was freshest. He went to ask the kitchen and came back with "both arrived fresh today". Liars!!!!! I ordered the tuna.... It was previously frozen (should have just told me that) and very fishy smelling and tasting! The rice at the bottom was in a POOL of dressing... It was terrible!! I have never had an issue with this meal! My husband ordered a Philly roll. The rice was way too sweet and it just didn't taste fresh, we left 4 pieces on the plate! To add insult to injury, it took FOREVER to get our food! The other customers were also having issues with the service and getting their food. We left hungry!! $60.... Flush! I have noticed a decline in quality of the food the last few times I've eaten here. I might try one more time. This used to be our favorite sushi place! It was a place we would come for a special sushi night. Not any more!

We got the garlic edamame, which was a nice and generous appetizers to split for 2-3 people. We also got the dragon roll, spicy tuna roll (which was ACTUALLY spicy), and the salmon avocado rolls, as well as the salmon nigiri. All of the food was delicious and very reasonably priced, and worth the trip. Additionally, a huge thank you and kudos to the staff for being so kind and warm about our excitement watching the World Cup matches that we're playing while we were eating. They were very sweet and understanding, and didn't rush us at all, which made it much more enjoyable to take our time and savour the food and the game. Overall this is a great spot to grab sushi and enjoy some quality time with friends or family, and I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a good Japanese and sushi restaurant!

The karaage was very hard and dry. This place is decent for the area of Escondido if you can't get yourself to Convoy area. Food is average, not the best but it'll do.

Maybe we just came in on a bad day (or maybe we weren't treated well because we aren't regulars), but the service my family got was terrible. When we first got there we had to wait 15 minutes to be seated even though there were 20 empty tables and no line in front of us. Then when we were seated it took 15 more minutes just get our drink order. 2 other groups were sat after us and they immediately got water, wasabi and ginger on their tables. 10 minutes later we finally got our waters and put in our appetizers and main food order. The table behind us ordered after us and they got their appetizers inmediately within 10 minutes of them putting in their order. Then the table in front of us ALSO got their appetizers AND rolls. We had to call over a server just to ask where our miso soup was even at. 20 minutes later we finally get the soup and wings. And 15 minutes later, the rolls finally came. The other 2 tables already finished their food and were paying and we were just barely getting our food. The only thing saving this review is the food. The food was delicious and I'd say worth the price, but why were we treated so much differently than the other diners? The other 2 tables were in and out within 45 minutes and we were there almost 90. We didn't even order much - just 2 miso soups, chicken wings, and 3 rolls. That shouldn't take 1.5 hours to make. The place is clean and in a nice area but I don't think we will be returning here again.

On the way out, we grabbed lychee and coconut boba to go, and both were so good! The servers were all friendly. We left around 6pm because we had tickets for The Odyssey.

It disappeared from our table in record time. We also ordered the house special fried rice, chicken teriyaki ramen, beef and chicken yakisoba, and the Korean popcorn chicken. The fried rice was packed with flavor and had a little bit of everything. The yakisoba was delicious, the ramen was comforting, and the Korean popcorn chicken was perfectly crispy with a nice little kick. It also came with miso soup, salad, and rice, which was more than enough food. Nothing here is overcomplicated. It's just good food, good portions, and genuinely great service every time. When we're trying to decide where to eat, Three Go Sushi is usually the answer. We'll definitely be back. Hopefully next time I'll remember to take pictures of the sushi before it's gone.

They have music playing in the background but it's not loud. The dining area is a little small so if you have a large crowd you may want to call ahead. They also have a small outside dining area. The service was good. They forgot our well sauce and we had to request it again. Outside of that, they're eager to answer questions and are very friendly and professional. The food was very good. Only a few things were a miss but that could be preference. The gyoza were fried perfectly and not greasy. I loved the crispness. Sadly, they lacked flavor and tasted bland. The vegetable roll was amazing. It was fresh, had crunch, and bursting with freshness. I preferred the eel deluxe roll over the dragon roll. Even though it's the same texture the flavor was nice. The eel was grilled perfectly. The dragon roll was mid. The cucumber chunks in it were too chunky and it's a bit one noted. The highlight for me was the summer roll. If you're like me and prefer sashimi over sushi with rice, you'll love this roll. It's tuna,salmon, albacore, and crab wrapped in cucumber. It's served with ponzu and spicy mayo but I requested no spicy mayo. This was bright, citrusy, and delicious. The cucumber gives it a nice contrast. If in the area, consider trying this place. It was worth trying. I rated it 4 out of 5 because there were a few flies trying to land on our food, the gyoza dumplings lacked flavor, and the dragon roll was a bit one noted.

The prices there have gotten much higher, and in my opinion, the quality of the fish at Ahi is just as good for a much better price. I also really appreciate that Ahi gives you bigger portions, especially with their salads. I've tried so many items on the menu at this point, and I can confidently say that everything I've had has been fresh, tasty, and worth trying. The sushi is consistently great quality, the portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable. My only complaint is the cucumber salad. I've ordered it several times, and unfortunately, each time the cucumbers didn't seem fresh and were actually a little slimy. I really hope they fix that because everything else has been great. That one item definitely won't change my opinion of this place. Ahi Sushi offers great-quality sushi at a great price, and that's exactly why I've become a regular.

They were a little busy. I got the chirashi bowl, my husband got 3 rolls, and we ordered a kids meal came with Teri chicken, cali roll and potsticker. Honestly the sushi wasn't bad. It's a notch higher than sushi deli IMO. Their chirashi bowl, for the price was a great deal. The only fish I didn't like was the tuna, it was tasteless, probably previously frozen too. The others weren't bad. We also judge sushi by their California rolls, and they made it right. The best deal is the kids meal. My little boy ate it all! Even the roll. We'll be coming here for our affordable sushi fix. It does the job. Restaurant was extremely warm inside, so was a little worried about the sushi, but everything was fine.
