Ah-So, ahhh so good! My favorite restaurant for teppanyaki and sushi! Love that you don't have to wait long for teppanyaki. Their teppanyaki tables are not that large so they're perfect for groups! Their sushi is also fresh and they have a good variety. My favorite is their Seared Salmony Belly sushi, Ikura sushi, and Yellowtail with Scallion Roll. Love that they have a lychee martini cocktail now! It was really good! Our server Nicolas was great too. He was wearing a lot of hats and still attentive. read more

To MANAGEMENT OR OWNERSHIP - I am writing this tonight with a heavy heart. As a patron who has supported Ah-So for years, I have always been a silent supporter--even during previous visits where the service was subpar, I chose to remain patient because we valued your establishment. However, tonight's experience from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM was a level of failure that I cannot stay silent about. Tonight was my daughter's birthday. We came to your restaurant to celebrate, but instead, we spent three hours navigating an ordeal of neglect: Total lack of urgency, we sat for over an hour before our existence was even acknowledged for drink or food orders. This isn't just "slow service"; it is a total breakdown of floor management. The birthday disappointment, my daughter was incredibly excited about the traditional birthday well-wishes. Despite being promised this by the staff, and despite other tables receiving attention, she was completely ignored. To make matters worse, the other party sharing our grill--who was also celebrating a birthday--was similarly forgotten. Watching the excitement fade from a child's face on her birthday is something a parent doesn't easily forget. Service incompetence, when food finally arrived, it was incorrect, requiring further delays. To end the night, we waited another 30 minutes for a check that never came. Both parties at our grill eventually had to physically stand up and hunt down a staff member just to pay our bill so we could finally leave. Dismissive management, when I attempted to voice these concerns to the manager, the response was cold and unhelpful. There was no attempt to validate our experience or acknowledge the disappointment caused to a loyal, long-term customer. I want to be very clear: I am not seeking a refund, a discount, or a gift card. I am writing this because I want to be heard. Tonight, Ah-So didn't just serve a bad meal; you turned a young girl's birthday celebration into a three-hour lesson in being ignored. As a regular customer, I am deeply saddened by the lack of care shown tonight. I hope this letter serves as a wake-up call for your team to return to the standards that made us loyal to you in the first place. read more

Foodie: sushi Las Vegas rolls, spicy tuna, dragon rolls, and Cali rolls! Hit the spot especially the Las Vegas rolls flavor is like winning in a slot machine! Service: Great and positive energy! The kinda people you want to hang around with great foodies! Ambiance: the times I have been there are pretty busy and chefs are quite creative and have a wonderful presence! But they can make you eat more than you can handle .. overall, Great AAA+ 5-star experience read more

My husband and I went to Ah-So while in town this past weekend after a family get together on Saturday night. We got there around 9:10 PM. There were quite a few open tables. We were given the drink and food menu plus a special menu for unique sushi rolls. When I asked for the regular sushi menu they provided that too. My husband and I were happy to indulge in the saki bomb special. It was a great experience over all! I'd recommend this place to anyone who likes sushi and is in yuma for the weekend. I didn't take many pics but I attached the ones I did take. The ambiance was chill with some music in the background and sufficient privacy between the tables. read more

Oh Yuma was well worth the drive from El Centro!! This establishment was excellent from the service to the food. The proportion size was out of this world and I truly couldn't finish my meal in on sitting. Our cook was super entertaining as well. Overall experience was very nice and even intimate. Don't know who told the people on this side of the country about seasonings but hey keep it up I loved the flavors that tantalizingly touched my palette. I highly recommend this establishment and I saw enough families and couples coming in to know it's a gem in the community already. Keep up the great work all. read more

I loved ah so, I've gone since I've moved to Yuma, but the service is very poor and working at a restaurant in the past, our management trained us with discipline to be the best for our customers. Going to ah so alone on my birthday was not it. I just wanted to enjoy a self dinner date, I felt very unwelcomed, there was no host at the stand for more than 5 mins, and after being sat, it took the server 10 minutes to get to my table. This occurred more than once and I'm not writing this to complain, I only suggest change. I probably won't come around for a while, but I hope things get better. Ambiance was bad Food was good Service bad read more

Service is slow. Calamari was definitely frozen straight out of a box. Tasted exactly like banquet fish sticks. The osakini roll was fresh, quality of the tuna very good, and great taste The firehouse roll was not good, more frozen calamari and topped with ground tuna that did not seem fresh at all. First and last time here read more

Stopped by Ah-So Sushi & Steak for a little sushi fix and left pretty happy! I ordered the fried dumplings, the Dancing Spider Roll, and the Sweet & Spicy Crunch Roll. Service was good, and the vibe was relaxed--perfect for unwinding after a long day. The Sweet & Spicy Crunch Roll was the standout for me! Just the right balance of flavor and texture, with a nice kick that kept me coming back for more. The Dancing Spider Roll was solid too, but the fried dumplings were a bit of a miss for my taste. Overall, I had a good time and would definitely come back to try more of the menu! read more

Ordered a bunch of sushi rolls for takeout and they were wonderful! Miso soup and salad came with it! Each roll was nicely packaged, fresh and delicious. I ordered Spicy Tuna Roll, Ah-So Roll, Vegas Roll and couple more! Their customer service is awesome as well. They got it ready in a timely manner and called me to let me know! I'm a sushi fanatic! read more

Good quality ingredients, delicious "yum yum sauce" Service was a little slow, but I was also in a fairly large party (about 7 people) so that could have been the reason - Bartender was on top of her game while waiting for the rest of the party to arrive, 3 of our party at the bar and two other parties at the other end, all seemed to be well taken care of. I would definitely come back again read more

The food and service is great. We went on a semi busy Friday night. We were seated after waiting about 5 minutes. The server was nice and kept asking if we needed anything. The tiger roll was fresh and we liked the salmon ceviche. It was a pleasant dining experience. read more

Reviews say food is good. Wish I had more patience. Sat at the bar, looked over the menu, and no bar tender in sight. Maybe they were in the bathroom but I wasn't feeling the vibe and I felt like I over stayed my welcome. 1 other group at the bar and 2 other tables sat. Not busy at all. Walked out. read more

This place is good if you have a big crowd or if you're with your family and friends and you're looking for a hibachi style type of Japanese/Asian cuisine. If that's what you're looking for this is the spot you should go. It's definitely not the best thing ever but it's 100% not the worst. The food is actually good and it has a lot of quality items on the menu and it's very diverse. If you have a big group or you're with family that came into town and you're looking for something Asian specific this is where I would take them. read more

Food was not what it use to be. No flavor, steak was full of fat , rice was just super off and no flavor Not worth the $$$ anymore Super disappointed The waiter was super nice and friendly tho read more

The sushi is pretty good, However the service very poor. No one is at the host stand when I walk in every time, servers unfortunately take so long to come after being sat, and above all, I feel like y'all want to have me out. The food is too expensive to be treating customers this way. not even ninja sushi or blue fin does this, and I don't care to go to those places. Working from a restaurant before, our management knew how to bring out the best in us through discipline and I truly advise the same. I recommend you guys are quick with seating, quick with serving once a customer is sat, and does not make us feel unwelcome. The food is good, but not worth the price when treated like a quick table turn. read more

Excellent tempura platter, Japanese lettuce wraps, Garlic edamame, Wine selection and cocktails. Staff is wonderful and food is outrageously good. read more

The food is good but the service is just terrible. I came in around 3pm and waited at the empty host stand for 5 minutes before even being greeted. After being sat, our server never came to greet us or take drink orders. We set a timer on the phone to see how long it would take because we've experienced this before and it took 15 minutes and still not a single person came to the table so we walked out. On our last visit the server was sweet but she rarely came to the table and our timer reached over 30 minutes before she came back to check on us! We hadn't gotten refills the entire time because we weren't checked on and I wanted to just pay and leave but that took forever too. We had to flag down the host to go find our server because it had been so long. The food is good, but too expensive for the service to be that bad. I don't think I'll ever go back. One night of bad service is a bad night, two night of bad service is annoying, but three is a pattern and I'm not coming back for a fourth. Unfortunate. read more

A group of my friends wanted to eat here and invited me to join them. They gave me a few days notice so I could contact the restaurant and see if Ah-So could accommodate me with gluten free options. I had seen a comment on FB that they did indeed have gluten free items. I waited until after the lunch rush and drove into Yuma to go in person to look at the menu and speak to an employee. I walked in around 2:15-2:20 I believe. I stood at the front desk to wait for someone to speak to. There were three ladies seated at one table and either a couple or perhaps foursome seated towards the back. I thought it was pretty slow for a Friday afternoon especially since most of the restaurants I passed to get there had full parking lots. I saw a young waiter and a young waitress both probably in their mid-late 20's. Both absolutely saw me standing there at the reception area by the front door. I had grabbed a menu and was perusing it but I kept looking up to see if someone was coming to help me. Every time I would see them it was obvious they were both trying to avert their gaze. The waiter started bussing the only used table which had few dishes like it had been a 1 or 2 top. He went out of his way to take an extra long way through the back so he didn't have to address me. By this time both servers had seen me but when I tried to flag them down they would avert their eyes and not acknowledge me.. There was also a young man in the back that kept leaning out of what looked to be a kitchen window, looking at me every few minutes. He was probably wondering why I had been standing there so long. This went on for at least 10-15 minutes. A couple came in behind me. They waited a few minutes, looked over the menu on the wall then left since no one acknowledged me or them. Finally when the waiter couldn't avoid it any longer he came to the front and asked "if anyone had helped me", no smile at all and he was acting totally inconvenienced. I said, "no" so he snatched a menu and starts walking away to seat me. I told him I was just there to find out if they had gluten free options for the next day (Saturday lunch) when I wanted to come back with a group of friends. He said, "no not really" but when I politely said I had seen people on Facebook saying they ate gluten free there he finally said that maybe one or two of the sushi rolls could be gluten free. He acted very put out and definitely treated me as if I were a huge imposition on his day, they virtually had no customers but the three ladies that were seated up front never got checked on while I was standing there which was "awhile". The waitress had taken something small to the table in the back so at least they got some type of service. The waiter did finally say that the menu I was holding wasn't what was served on Saturdays that they only serve off the dinner menu on Saturdays. I said ok, "I'll tell my friends I'm going to skip this one since there's nothing I can eat". At that point he says, "well the kitchen can use gluten free soy sauce to make your food". I then asked if I needed to bring my own unopened bottle of GF soy sauce and he says, "no, they keep some in the back". This is all after I had directly asked if any of the entrees were gluten free or could be made gluten free, to which he had answered "no". I will say the food I smelled from the kitchen did smell good, but such a weird and very unfriendly vibe from all the employees makes me understand why they had so few customers. When I left, I texted my friends that I'd be unable to join them the next day and relayed what happened. My friends decided to skip the restaurant they had been excited to try because of how I was treated. My one friend even said while she was perfectly fine with spending $60-90 on lunch, she was not willing to spend that for poor service. Two of my friends have lived in Japan and were really craving Sushi and steak but everyone decided to skip it so we could go someplace with friendly service, where I could eat without a hassle. read more

Ah-So is such a gem! The sushi was fresh, the steak perfectly cooked, and every bite tasted amazing. The staff was super friendly and attentive, the drinks were on point, and the hibachi experience was both fun and delicious. This place is a must-try! read more

The only teppanyaki in Yuma. Went for my daughter's bday and had a great time. They don't take reservations, yet they allow call ahead which was great. We arrived and was seated quickly as our party arrived together. They had a good sushi which we enjoyed prior to the chef arriving. The teppanyaki chef was wonderful, funny and what we expected. Had a great time. As most said before, it's pricey and from the outside and being in a mall, unassuming, yet worth the money, experience and relaxing fun atmosphere. We will be returning fo our next special occasion read more

My fiancé and I randomly stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. Both of us had a hankering for some GOOD sushi, which is hard to come by here in Yuma. Ah-So did not disappoint. Omar, our sushi chef, was definitely a Master of his craft. He made recommendations, which were incredible. He was attentive and knowledgeable...he went above and beyond in the line of customer service. Highly recommend the Sunset Roll, the Fire House Roll and the Dancing Spider Roll. As for sashimi, the Blue Fin Tuna was out of this world--for a second, it was hard to believe we were in Yuma. Thanks Ah-So...and thank you, Omar for an awesome experience. We'll be back! read more

Came in on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was about 1/3 full. Server was pleasant. Drinks: They filter their water! Good job! The cocktail was poorly made. Tasted like gin mixed with cheap white sangria. Yuck. "Spicy" Tuna and Crispy Rice - Yikes. This is such a simple app and they ruined it. The rice was SERIOUSLY over cooked. Super crunchy and chewy. The "spicy" tuna was bland and not spicy. Server asked if we wanted Miso Soup and never brought it out. Teriyaki Seafood bowl was cooked well despite drowning in sauce. Chicken bowl was just sad. Half the chicken was so dry, I was having a hard time swallowing it. The other half was almost ok or dry. Owner comped our cocktail...thanks? Post COVID, everything is expensive and mediocre at best. read more

My wife and I went for hibachi since it's the only place in town. My wife got a hair in her food and it made her sick and she couldn't finish eating. I thought at least there won't be another one because what are the odds of having 2 hairs. Then as I'm boxing my food up there's another hair in it.... Crazy. $80 tab for both meals to have a hair. read more

It was quiet when I entered to buy sushi to go, but had a comfortable ambiance. It was my husband's birthday but because of back issues, he is unable to go out. I ordered three rolls two orders of calamari , and saki to drink while I waited. The host who took my order was very kind and conscientious. The saki was perfectly warmed. And when I arrived home with the sushi, we marveled at how perfectly prepared it was. We didn't even need the air fryer for the calamari. We are from Orange County, where we had the pick of sushi restaurants. This was comparable. Best sushi we have had in a long time. Thanks, Host and Chef!! read more

Service was mediocre. Our waitress took 15 minutes to bring our drinks.20 min to bring our refills and sauces.the rice was hard and burned.

My wife had visited Ah-So previously and had a great experience, so she chose to return with our family for her birthday. We went on a relatively quiet Wednesday and, to get the full hibachi experience, our party of six opted to sit at the grill. Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse. Our chef performed the usual hibachi tricks--big flame, egg in the hat, and the onion volcano--well enough. However, halfway through cooking, he turned around and sneezed right into a dish rag, loudly and messily, right in front of us. My family and I were stunned. After confirming that we had all seen the same thing, I immediately spoke with the host, who called for the manager. The manager responded quickly, escorted the chef to the back, and offered to bring out a new chef. By then, we had already been seated for over an hour, and starting over wasn't really an option. The original chef returned from the kitchen, now wearing gloves, and continued to cook, but the mood had been completely ruined. Both the chef and our family were visibly uncomfortable for the remainder of the meal. To make matters worse, it was my wife's birthday, which the staff had acknowledged when we first sat down. Yet, they didn't mention it again until we were about to leave. The food itself was okay, but after everything that happened, we will not be returning. The manager never offered us anything off the meal, nor did she come back to apologize. Adding to the frustration was the mandatory 18% gratuity for our party size, which I would have been fine with if it had gone solely to our waitress, who was fantastic. Instead, I'm sure part of it went to the chef, whose behavior completely soured our experience. read more

Never disappointed everything tastes fresh and very tasty. The wait staff aren't great. I've noticed when you sit at the grill they rarely make appearances and getting a refill or the check Is like pulling teeth. Certainly because the tips are going to the chefs and not them. The ambiance is always fun and the chefs range from entertaining to unfunny and predictable. read more

A good place for a night out dinner with friends, which is what we did. We ordered the Korean BBQ, Garlic Edamame and the Seafood Yakisoba. Good food! Tip: make reservations; for a table and for the "flaming meat cutting chief" thing too. Busy and crowded but definitely worth the wait. read more

I love teppanyaki! That being said, I'm skeptical about Yuma teppanyaki, lol. Before spending the big bucks on the griddle, we dedicated our first Ah-So visit to sample their dinner menu. To share, we ordered some sushi. Familiarize yourself with all the sushi in the world, for you won't get any hints from their online menu. The "vegas roll" sounds interesting; I wonder what it looks like. In any case, we got whatever is pictured -- I think it was called the cilantro roll. You can see the fresh salmon with some embellishments on top. Overall, it was pretty decent sushi. The fiancée ordered katsu chicken, and I got the seafood yakisoba (pictured). My entree was the better choice, for the katsu was much too dry. They didn't hold back on the rice, which I commend, but we're here for the proteins, man. Ironically, we probably would've spent the same amount of money for teppanyaki, so maybe we should've just done it. But, we did not, and we didn't feel like we got our money's worth either. An aesthetic complaint: At one point, as I prepared to charge the facilities, I was unable to stand up! My shoes were stuck to the floor. I thought I'd happened upon a modified law of gravity, but no, the floor was just dirty. Incalculably dirty. Kindly consider cleaning the floor, folks. Ah so, we won't be back! read more

Update: I was a bit hard on them in my first review because of the use of MSG. My understanding is that it is used in the sauces. The second time there we did take out.

Food was good but service wasn't amazing. My boyfriend and I came for an early Valentine's dinner on a Saturday. Made a call-ahead seating and got quickly sat down in a booth in front of the bar but waited more than 20mins before our waitress realized we were sitting at one of her tables. Not one of the other waiters who were serving the other tables next to us made eye contact and seemed like they were deliberately walking the other direction to avoid crossing in front of our table for us to flag them down (we were in the middle booth of the row). We were looking up other places to go to instead when she finally came around to grab us some waters and then take our orders. The food portions are more than generous and enough for two. I had the seafood yakisoba and my bf got the beef bowl which were both delicious. We had the egg rolls and some sushi rolls. The sushi was okay and the egg rolls seemed heavy with the celery. It was okay at best but nothing amazing. One of his rolls also came super late due to some error in the kitchen. Food was good but wasn't good enough to forget the substandard service. read more

Fire cracker is great Rolls were large tasty and loosely together I find the outside area nice but could be cleaned up more for their customers!! Service is lacking in preparation we ordered appetizers that never came, napkins silverware / chopsticks we had to ask for after food came with no other plates to put sushi in or dip.... but maybe they are so slow staff has gotten complacent The service put our bill on table without a cover on it and it blew away and we had to chase it almost to movie threaten....Who does that! The staff here does not show any respect for the owner by their service I would replace all of them Wasabi was NOT hot meaning it was old or left out! Same was too hot for a traditional hot sake your not suppose to boil it! The rolls fell apart too easy so they were not made with authenticity We will not be coming back nor suggest this for Asian/ oriental foods Very poor representation read more

I haven't been in Ah-So since prom night which was many moons ago (I am a lady so don't ask how many) so while I was in town my family and I stopped in for lunch. I find in Yuma that a lot of places have hit-or-miss service but I was impressed with the service at Ah-So. Our waiter got caught up with a large party and the other server that was working stepped in to wait on us without missing a beat. The food itself was good but not outstanding. I ordered the Korean BBQ bento box and enjoyed it but there were some little bits of bone in the beef (not the traditional bone in the middle just little slivers) so I did have to eat with care. Everything else that came with the bento box was great though, I especially enjoyed the eggroll and gyoza. My family also enjoyed their meals as well and Ah-So has a large fish tank with very active crayfish that we all enjoyed. We also got the vegas roll for the table and it was quite tasty. read more
