    This is still my go-to takeout sushi place, but recently there's been some issues with the freshness and taste if the sushi. Most of the time it's great, and they even kindly provide these complementary veggies as a gift, but the volcano roll was too fishy and scallop-y, and one of my other recent orders of the Candy cane Roll was a little questionable with the freshness of the raw fish

    Oli was our server and was amazing! The quality of sashimi was great and they gave great portion sizes. Definitely coming back to try more of their specialty rolls.

    Shrimp Tempura Roll
    Riley S.

    This is the first sushi place I have tried so far in Dallas and it was a win! I picked it because it had good reviews, was super close to me, and more importantly, it had my favorite sushi combo. I am picky when it comes to sushi and this restaurant had my favorite roll! Score! I can't say much about the ambience or service because I got my order to go, but when I went inside to pick it up it was nice and quiet. For 6 pm on a Friday it was pretty empty but had lots of to go orders ready. Mine was ready when they said it would be which I appreciate! Food was great!!! I got the Shrimp Tempura roll which is the roll I always look for at every sushi place I try. Happy to have found a place near me that has one, and for a great price!! The only negative about the sushi and why I have not rated it 5 stars is because of the way the roll was wrapped. The black seaweed wrap was so hard to eat, I had the hardest time chewing and swallowing it. At one point I started choking and got scared it was going to end badly... but I survived. Really unfortunate that it was so hard to chew. I wish they would reformat this roll like traditional rolls so that I would not be hesitant to order again. It really made it unenjoyable to eat as I was struggling to chew it for every single piece. I also got beef fried rice which was a 9/10. Had lots of vegetables, the beef was delicious, and the portion was amazing. I found myself adding a good amount of salt and soy sauce though, but I don't mind. I am also very picky with my fried rice so very happy I found a place that makes it how I like. I will definitely be coming back here and getting my same order again. Maybe cutting off the black seaweed though as it was just really scary trying to chew it. Can't wait to come back.

    We were in the neighborhood craving for some late night eats. This restaurant is open late and really hit the spot for our sushi craving. The service was very friendly and efficient. Our waitress was great! The ambiance reminds me of a bar/club. It would be a nice place to hang out with friends or with a date. I am deducting one star for their very dark restroom. It was clean but the lighting was pitch black. Being in the city I know that keeping the area clean is a struggle with people coming in and out. We didn't need to park as we walked in as we were staying at a nearby hotel. I did notice there were some street parking spots available. Overall if you are craving some late night eats, this is a good spot to check out. The sushi is good (not phenomenal like more posh sushi restaurants)...definitely great for the price it commands. Worth a visit!

    Love all the "no rice" roll options
    Del S.

    Stuck in the hotel for a meeting, so decided to order sushi since every day this week was either a BBQ, Steak, or Mexican food day. First the food was delicious. Loved the "no rice roll"options. They actually have quite a few on the menu. I was going out on a limb to order the kimchi fried rice, because I couldn't find any photos.. but it did not disappoint. Love that it reheats well too for leftovers because there was so much. I love that they deliver their own food, originally to be delivered in 60-70 min, and although they were 15 min late, they definitely deserve a little slack as it's been inclement weather. Only reason I'll give it a 4* is that they forgot my side salad. So, just waiting for my credit to hit my account. But otherwise I wouldn't hesitate in patronizing again when I'm in town.

    Candy Cane Roll, Salmon Sashimi, & Salmon Avocado Roll
    Elizabeth L.

    Last time I tried this place out was two years ago and three years ago. The last time was quite disappointing and I have 2/5 stars. Ordered via Uber eats on a Sunday afternoon around 2 PM. Food didn't arrive till about 3 PM. All the items inside were really wet... it look like the salmon heaven had a bunch of fluid in it & might have spilled everywhere. Salmon Heaven - Again, no description on the UberEats site, but this again did have sliced jalapeño and Sriracha on top with some other sauce. Salmon quality is watery and not creamy - I suspect this is why it has jalapeño, Sriracha, and drowned in sauce to hide the poor salmon quality again. Dragon Roll - Bite sized, but unagi is strangely dry & seems like it's been sitting out in the open for a while. The sauce doesn't have the stark sweetness that I typically expect from a dragon roll. Rice was quite bland & tastes more like plain rice instead of sushi rice. Alaskan Roll - Pieces are slightly larger than biter sized. This salmon quality seemed better. Rice was quite bland again. Overall, it was sushi. Nothing was terrible, but Maybe slightly less than average? Prices for this type of quality are exceptionally high and not worth it IMO. I would not recommend this place. I would not intentionally go back.

    Sushi Bento box

    Caught up here with an old friend! The food presentation was really good and overall it was really Yummie! Really good service too!!

    Last night I decided to take myself on a date and I fell in love and found my new favorite place! I'd been for takeout a couple of times before but never sat inside... well because Rona. But I must say, my experience was quite pleasant I was literally the only person there, so I definitely felt like a Boss all of the workers were so nice and sweet, they really made my experience worth wild. I got their Orange Chicken Bento. It came with all the deliciousness you see here. Definitely a perfect choice for me because I got to all my favorite things. From the chicken, to the egg rolls, all the way down to the sushiit was all worth it!!!! Shoutout to Ai Sushi Sake Grill. My new go to date night spot As seen on menu: Orange Chicken Bento Deep-fried crispy, tangy chicken glazed with spicy orange sauce, 4 pieces California roll, house salad with ginger dressing, chicken eggroll, rice.

    Salmon Avocado Roll

    Great service, pictures below of the things we got! The creamy shrimp was our favorite

    Does this look its worth $80 plus tip? Dinner for two? Crack pots!

    Ordered via uber eats. Menu portions not clear. Place is a rip off! 3 pieces of low quality sushi for $16 is atrocious. Don't waste your money or time. Big disappointment! My order was 3 cokes, beef gyoza (6), California roll, sushi sampler (3 stupid pieces) and a chocolate cake for $80 plus tip. Highway robbery. These people are making money hand over fist.

    Excellent dinner! Beautiful and clean place with excellent food and presentation, fresh and delicious fish with very nice staff! Great spot if you're in Dallas!

    Blazing Ilume Roll
    Sarena M.

    Never would have guessed this place would be phenomenal. Starving after a visit to my daughters apt downtown. Searched for a place open late Sunday night. Wasn't expecting such great sushi on a whim. Hubby got the Blazing Ilume and was blown away. I ordered the Asparagus with brown rice and it was so good!

    Geisha Role, where are the sauces again nothing like it used to be
    Katrine H.

    ** I want to update my review from 1 to 3 stars. The geisha rolls flavors and freshness were amazing. The sauces were not what I've seen in the past, but it doesn't mean that the role wasn't delicious. The rest of my review is accurate. I used to love this place! I would order once or twice a month. The food always was delivered hot and fresh. I ate in the restaurant one time and found it even better. I am extremely disappointed tonight. The crab Rangoon was one of my favorites. I specifically had my delivery driver go out of the way from my other order to get it and this is what I got. I don't understand it looks like it came from the grocery store. The sauce came in a Whataburger ketchup package. I called to explain the situation and was even curious if it was from a different place. Unfortunately, the people I spoke with didn't speak English very well and they said that this was just how it was. It's not their fault. it's definitely the new ownership and chefs (if this is the situation). I am at a loss and extremely sad. This was one of my favorite places. All I know now is that the pictures do not equal the food I received.

The panic roll wasn't our favorite, we could've definitely passed on that. We wanted something unique rather than a basic roll, so we chose this because it seemed fun plus we love spice! However, the roll just tasted like sauce. Not much going on. I personally like being able to taste the quality of the fish, but the sauce was a too much. Definitely recommend if you like saucy rolls though. Curry was a bit on the more liquid side. We're a bit use to more of a thickened consistency, but it was still good. The rice and curry ratio was a little bit off, much more sauce and meat than rice for sure. I got the poke bowl with both salmon and tuna. It was really refreshing! I loved the mango in it. Overall, a solid sushi restaurant. Definitely recommend the sashimi! Service was good, definitely took care of you. Ambiance was also nice. It was small, but bright especially with the patio seating.

Our server came once for our food and did not check on us again the entire meal, which is unfortunate because they did not bring us wasabi and ginger, and there was no soy sauce at the table. We put cash on the bill and left, only for us to be chased down by our server about a block to let us know we were short $5. (Tax) I understand we accidentally were short but being chased down after you've already left the establishment, especially over $5, is insane work. I was originally disappointed, now I'm just truly upset. I will not be eating here again and would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. They do play good house music though.

The inside is tiny and there isn't even a proper "waiting" area. I've also tried coming here before, and there was also a long wait. I'm glad I decided to stick it out this time. We ordered the Wagyu sushi, Yakitori, Tonkotsu Miso Ramen, and the Tomato Ramen. The Wagyu sushi is torched right in front of you! The Wagyu was incredibly tender and the sauce was delicious. My only *nitpicky* critique is the rice was ever so slightly too moist, but that didn't stop me from inhaling the sushi. Next, the Yakitori was phenomenal. I've never had such tender chicken in my life. There was a nice layer of delicious sauce coating the skewer. Again, just a really nitpicky feedback I have was that I wish the Yakitori had the tiniest bit more char to it, but nevertheless was an incredible bite, and I'd 100% order again in a heartbeat. Onto the ramen - easily hands down one of the best ramen I've had in DFW. The broth is flavorful, and I love the noodles. I'm not sure if they're handmade from scratch, but they had the perfect thickness and chewiness. I also loved generous the portion of cha shu slices. Most other places only give you 1-2 thin slices, but that was not the case here. The pork was tender. The ajitama was solid too, although I prefer more of a soft-boiled egg. While the meat portion is more generous here, the tonkotsu didn't come with many vegetables. A lot of other ramen places I've been to will have corn, fried garlic, etc as default, but those are all additional cost add-ons here. The ramen was delicious without them though but just something to note. We also got the tomato ramen as it's the chef recommendation. The dish is very creative and the execution was great. Personally, I still prefer traditional ramens but it was certainly a nice culinary creation to try. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and would come here again. Just be aware there may be a wait, and because they're so busy, you do have to proactively flag down staff. However, the staff are still really nice despite all the tasks they're juggling at once.

Overall, Manpuku was... fine. Not bad, but not particularly memorable, and definitely not compelling enough at this price point to justify a return. From a food standpoint, the proteins and sauces were the strongest part of the meal. The cuts themselves were flavorful, and some of the marinades/sauces brought the kind of richness and salt balance you'd hope for at a Japanese BBQ spot. That said, the supporting cast (especially the vegetables) felt like an afterthought. For a place charging at this level, I was expecting more intention and better overall balance across the table. Drinks were serviceable but uninspired. I kept it simple with sake and Japanese beer, while others in the group ordered martinis that were perfectly drinkable, if not especially polished or memorable. Where the experience really started to fall apart was service and overall floor management. With the restaurant being so lightly occupied, there really wasn't much excuse for how inattentive things felt throughout the night. The pacing and presence just weren't there. What ultimately took the experience from "underwhelming" to actively off-putting, though, was the fact that multiple street vendors were allowed to come into the restaurant and approach tables selling flowers and candy. It happened enough to become a real distraction, and it was especially jarring to watch staff and management seemingly do nothing while guests were being interrupted mid-meal. One table eventually had to tell them directly to stop bothering them, which should never be the diners' responsibility to handle. There are too many places in Dallas competing in this price tier to overlook that kind of lapse in hospitality. Manpuku wasn't a disaster, but it also didn't deliver on the level of polish, attention, or overall dining experience its pricing suggests. Wouldn't say I regret trying it BUT I also wouldn't be in any rush to come back.
