Sushi Ai

About this business

The Sushi Ai restaurant is spacious and sees a huge crowd that comes in from all over to enjoy authentic Japanese flavors. The restaurant is decorated in dark hues, mostly red and black. The low lighting from the ceiling and burning candles give it a romantic appeal. Wine stacks and an open bar are neatly arranged without cluttering the place. To start your meal, try the shiitake maki, California roll or the tuna & avocado roll. For mains a good spicy order would be the Blue Alaskan. The Smoky Bear comes with a perfectly sea... read more

Good anytime of the day – This place was phenominal! The service was excellent and the food was amazing. The decor was very contemporary ( I love that). Can't wait to go there again.

Best Sushi Bistro! – We tried Sushi Ai for the first time tonight and it was the best sushi we've had in the suburbs!! We felt a friendly vibe from the minute we walked in to the minute we left. The ambience was chic romantic, and the music cool and relaxing. The extensive menu had three different levels of cost for sushi (the first ranging from $5-$8, the second from $10-14, and the third from $15-17), so we felt we had lots of choices. There were lots of dinner choices as well, but we stuck to our favorite: sushi! We start... read more

Overpriced, slow service, okay food – My wife and I have tried Sushi Ai three times now, hoping for improvement because it's so close to our house. But the food is laughably overpriced and the quality is simply not worth the high cost. Their "specialty maki" costs between $12 and $15 for smallish rolls cut into 5 smallish pieces. You do the math: that's $2.40 to $3.00 per piece (not per roll), per *piece*. If the pieces were larger or even the ingredients more special, I'd be willing to pay extra to be blown away, but it jus... read more

I want my money back!!! – I myself am in the food service industry and am very forgiving if the service is just OK. The service at Sushi Ai was beyond awful. There is no excuse for what we went through. Our waiter was cold and I could barely hear him. It felt like fifteen minutes after he took our order the soup and salad came out. The soup was almost cold. I got my sushi and then some twenty minutes later we were still waiting for my boyfriend?s filet mignon. Our server came over and quietly said, ?Sorry it is taking so lon... read more

Killer Eclectic Japanese cuisine – Sit at the Sushi bar and strike up a conversation with the Sushi Chefs. Ask what specials they have that are not on the menu. Try the different varations of cerviche (last time with red snapper, before that crab). Ask for the Rainbow Dragon roll or the Ocean drive rolls. Awesome! Spicy Crawfish salad on mixed greens are excellent @ $6. Great menu, nice wine list. Best in NW burbs.

Great sushi! – I just moved out to suburbia after living in the city for 11 years - and of course I worried there wouldn't be as good of restaurants out there - but happily, those worries were unfounded. Sushi Ai, for example, is better than most sushi places in the city. Coming from the owners of Starfish - I'm not surprised. But you'd never know the place was in a strip mall. The decor is chic, but warm. There were sushi standard and some exceptional special maki rolls. Loved it. I'll be going back.
