Great service I like how the place looks the food is good I like the steak I come with my grandpa a lot and he likes it as well

Great food, friendly people. Love this place. The egg drop soup with chicken and corn is to die for. Everything they serve is delicious.

Geesh who knew? This unassuming place was delicious! Food was well prepared and not over sauced or greasy. The chicken yaki soba was great with lots of veggies and meat. Sushi was tasty too! The dumplings were yummy dipped in that sauce. Our waitress was very nice too, place was clean. Give it a shot! No Coke products, oy vey! read more

Well worth the visit. Food service and drinks were great. Everything we ordered came out quick and delicious . Give them a try.

Food is always spectacular and well-packaged. Never been ill from the sushi here; can't say that about all places around. Very efficient and polite. Prices are fair. The restaurant itself is cozy with good atmosphere. We order from here several times a month! Thank you! read more

This place used to be one of our favorite places to go for sushi. I spent $50 today for lunch and all of it was uneatable. All of it was bland, the fish tasted old and rubbery. We have gotten some really good meals here before, but not this time! I wont be back :( read more

We got a larger take out order for Mother's Day. Everything was amazing! It all tasted so good and the sushi melted in your mouth. My son polished off a whole order of crab rangoons with a satisfied smile.. They had everything we needed in the bags and didn't forget anything. We will be making this our new go to restaurant. read more

Good food, good service, nice decor, and friendly staff. Definitely worth checking out:)

I had given up on the poor quality of Asian food in Rochester. Until I tried this Japanese restaurant on the recommendation of a friend. Excellent food, lots of variety. We will be back. read more

Excellent my husband and I were looking for something else entirely, and happen to see this little hole in the wall so we decided to take a chance. It was probably the best food I've had in 10 years the appetizer it was a tuna tartare, which was incredible. Then I had fried lobster. It was amazing they were like pillows and popped in your mouth when you eat them, the atmosphere itself was wonderful. The waitress is was amazing. The chef was awesome. My husband ate more than I've seen him eat in a sitting in a while check it out you'll like it. read more

Overpriced, under portioned, zero flavor. Ikkos is 100x better. Pay less get more. Leave happy. read more

The service is excellent and the sushi is outstanding. The drinks are fabulous, we go every month now that we are in the area visiting. Highly recommended this place! read more

Tried this place for the first time, heard good things. 1st off I was very pleased that the staff could answer gluten free questions. They seamed knowledgeable and I felt safe to order. Have a great sushi lunch combo deal. Had the miso soup and spicy tuna and California Roll, with GF soy sauce. The BF got the Crab Rangoons. Smelled AMAZING, filling flavor delicious little watery. Crunch to filling ratio off but the crunchy part alone was still good. Overall great experience read more

Generous sashimi and delectable tempura. Those alone are worth going for, but avoid the beef dishes as when we visited the beef was tough, even though the sauce was excellent. We were disappointed as we thought steakhouse in the name meant they would go for cuts that are tender, even if well done. read more

My new favorite spot! We passed through after a day up North and so glad we did. All the drinks and food we ordered were perfection. The staff is so friendly and attentive. They had mostly take out orders, but I really enjoyed our dine in experience. Will come here again and recommend for anyone passing through or local! read more

Oh wow! Not expecting much, I took my friend here for his birthday. We used to live in Southern California and were used to a much higher level of sushi than we've been able to find here before. Walking in, it didn't look like much, but it was clean, the atmosphere looked nice with the low lighting and soft music, and we were immediately greeted and seated. We started with an appetizer (Chicago style crab rangoons - still not sure what 'Chicago style' means, but holy crap were these overstuffed and delicious!). And again, being big sushi eaters, we thought we'd try the Roll Boat and just go to town on 5 special rolls. Go big or go home, right? And, best to give a new place a fighting chance since we love trying new places. The presentation was spot-on! Great looking sushi, stacked well, with just the right amount of sauces, wasabi, and ginger. First bite was amazing, and each bite kept getting better! There wasn't 1 roll that we didn't like! Honestly, well done for such a small place in an unassuming town like Rochester. I'm so excited to have found this place. I'm up here a lot during the summer, and we absolutely will be back! read more

The food here is amazing!! Every time I eat here I am impressed!! Food is out of this world and the people who work here so friendly,sweet and fast. This is a must go!! read more

Food is consistently great. Service is awesome! Prices are reasonable. The inside is small but always clean and nice, we hat a toddler so we get a lot of takeout and it's always great. read more

Waitress was very nice and attentive. We really enjoyed the service and the food was amazing. Highly recommend the sweet potato roll!

Oh, Olivia! The owner and server. She is THE BEST! Food is sublime, drinks are impeccable and the service is UNMATCHED. I recommend the Fog Cutter for a drink (if you love tropical paradise), Kani Salad, Chicken Yakisoba and the Pink Lady Roll. Honestly, all of the food is so fresh and amazing. I cannot say enough about this gem. It's quiet and the best food around. Much love from Stacy and Ryan. She knows us. :) read more

Absolutely delicious food. Top notch on par with Takumi of South Nashua. The pricing is really great too! Nice, quiet environs at lunch and kind, considerate service. It was a real treat to dine here and I will eat here more often! read more

This place I have had twice, once as delivery(DoorDash) and once as dine in. Both times it has been great, the fish used for the sashimi seemed to be pretty fresh, wasn't off. They are also accommodating of allergies, and offer gluten free soy sauce. The service was great and the seating comfortable. We were also in and out pretty quickly but we went around 5 on a Saturday, so still pretty early. I would also judge the price as good value, but I am used to California prices on sushi so I might not be the best judge. I plan on returning. read more

My parents and I had sushi here. It was very good and the staff was very friendly. My favorite was called the Sara roll. I will be a regular. read more

Hot sake and yaki soba! The only place I go when I have that craving. Staff is very friendly, reasonably priced, and I'm told the rolls are yummy. read more

I eat here frequently and can honestly say that I have tried the yaki soba, chicken tempura, hibachi chicken and numerous sushi rolls and I have never been disappointed, every dish is fantastic. The crab rangoon is probably the best I have ever had. read more

Went for dinner here. Atmosphere is nice and service was good. I had Hibachi beef, supposedly it was NY strip but I could swear it was London Broil. Chewy, flavorless, pretty much inedible. Not looking to go back. read more

The fresh fish of the sushi was excellent! The service is also fast and attentive. Only note is to check the descriptions carefully, as some common rolls like the dragon are different here. Definitely a great addition to the area! read more

A1 Japanese Steakhouse - @ Night - Sushi Bars Near Me - Rochester, New Hampshire

Bullet point review: -Bartender welcomed us at the table, very friendly -Nice inside, clean brand new look -Hanging lights with little designs -I didn't know a salad and soup were included with my meal, but I got miso since that's what my dining companion got -Salad delicious, not sure what the dressing was, fresh -Miso soup came out very hot; I liked it but it wasn't very tasteful -Japanese soda is sweet, albeit it you have to work for it more than simply twisting a cap; there's instructions on the top -Bit of a language barrier, but less than another Japanese restaurant I went to -My companion got her meal sooner than I did, despite her being cooked while I had just sushi -She was done when mine finally came after asking twice -Chicago-style crab rangoon seems odd for a Japanese restaurant; regardless it was crunchy, full and only a little greasy -Sushi was comparable to another restaurant I went to; don't recall so much of it being rice -Second time I went the service the service was fast but I was also the only one there lol -Lunch special of sushi, soup and a salad for $11 is good -Maybe I'm misunderstanding the menu, but it seems like I get more California rolls than it lists UPDATE: Having been here 3-4 times the service is not great. They'll sit you done without asking if you want a water. They're slow to come around to your table. I am happy to say I have not become sick after eating the sushi here, which is a risk at any restaurant that serves it. read more

I'm impressed! Craving sushi. Figured we would give it a try...versus driving to Dover. Ordered takeout. Sushi and Sashimi combo, and Yaki Soba. Truly exceeded expectations!! I'm hooked...I'll be back! read more

This is mine and my boyfriend's "spot" as being new to town it's very close to home. Staff is awesome food is amazing and drinks are worth paying for. The fresh sushi it always made to order and it's just a very nice little (seems to be family run mostly) kind of place. I generally over time every time we go because I am just so happy with the new little place I've found since moving to town. I tell everyone to go here and try it Out! You definitely will not regret it. read more

A1 Japanese Steakhouse - I love our date night here. Always enjoyable. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Rochester, New Hampshire

Disappointed with the Spicy Roll Combo. Was just mush wrapped in rice. I have gotten better sushi at Market Basket.

Great sushi although some of the rolls are on the smallish side. Rainbow roll is exquisite. The vegetables are fresh and well prepared. I would steer clear of the salmon teriyaki as it was mushy and overcooked and tasted like it had been frozen. In fact after having sampled much of the menu I would say to stick with the sushi and vegetable dishes although the shrimp yaki soba is quite good. read more

The food was great.We had lunch on little trays,very nice.The workers are nice.The atmosphere was okay. Service was lacking,waiter was very slow and didnt ask how meal was or refil drinks.Well try again maybe just that day. read more

We ordered the lunch special sushi the other day ( 2 rolls for just under 10 dollars) This is the 2nd time we've ordered their sushi rolls for lunch but it just may be the LAST time.. if I told you the rolls were tiny it would be an underestimate of the actual size. What happened??? They weren't doll house sized the first time we ordered them ! If they were we never would have bothered going back ! read more

We love their food and service is excellent! Food is yummy, hot, fresh and quick. Definitely a hidden jem. Every time we go we are very happy with everything. Definitely our favorite little restaurant. read more

Mommy & daughter mid week lunch during spring vacation - sushi lunch combo - flavorful melt in my mouth. We will be back

Stopped in late for a quick meal late on a Wednesday. We were greeted quickly and the drinks and amazing Crab Rangoon came out promptly. I got the Strip Hibachi and everything was delicious. There was even a slightly spicy, creamy sauce for the vegetables. So good! My wife had the Chicken Soba which was also delicious. My dish also came with salad and Miso soup, both really good. Lots of nice touches, everything was delicious, and very reasonable prices. read more

I had the vegetable tempura and it's literally the best I have ever had. I can't say I was expecting huge things when I walked into the restaurant because it almost seemed like a hole in the wall place. The dinner was awesome which inspired me to try their ice cream tempura at which point I was instantly sold. This place is worth a shot if you love Japanese food. read more

Super nice staff, horrible food. Ordered lunch for 5 on Mother's Day, unfortunately we wasted most of the food. I couldn't eat more than two bites of the chicken and most of the vegetables were overcooked. I will admit the rice was good but that was the only thing. FYI I ordered the hibachi chicken, other members ordered the Shrimp & chicken (shrimp was good) read more

Thought we would give this place a second try, we won't ever be back! If you plan on staying there longer then two hours you'll like this place. They have one waitress and one chef, we weren't checked on and we got so tired of waiting we went up to bar three times to ask questions or put in request. The quality of food is so awful, the fish in the rolls looked like minced paste. I had a hair wrapped in my roll and the edamame was undercooked and cold. While seated we saw two other couples get up and leave. This place is just a disaster. When you walk in it's so quiet too, no music, nothing. My children were the life of that place. Anyways if I could I would lower my rating, it's a nice location but I'm surprised they are still in business. read more
