    Another great visit to Ami Sushi! Fresh fish and lovely people working. We always sit at the counter and enjoy watching the sushi being made. Fairly busy for a Thursday evening but not crowded or too loud.

    This is one of those places you'd like to keep a secret, but nevertheless, I need to share. First of all the food is amazing. All the sushi rolls are well displayed in their menu with pricing that's very palatable. The place is small, with great servers. They serve delicious hot tea, a good selection of beers and some sake. If you love Sushi, this is a place to definitely try. We've been highly recommending this Sushi place for over a year.

    Yummy sushi, fresh fish with reasonable pricing. Especially enjoyed the variations of carpaccio. The service was quick and friendly. Family-friendly ambience, and loved the fact that we could watch our NFL game while enjoying sushi! Great little place for a quick lunch or dinner- conveniently located off the 55 between the 22 and the 5.

    A great spot for weekday dinner - there's so many sushi options, and the portions are really generous. Their buy one get one half off deal on Mon-Thurs from 4-9 PM is such a steal - Rolls, nigiri (2pcs), AND sashimi (5pcs) all qualify. The staff is super friendly as well! Highly recommend the Yellowtail Carpaccio, Seared Salmon Sushi, Ami House Roll (specialty item that doesn't qualify for BOGO), and Salmon Belly Sashimi. Also no wait when i went around 5:30 on a weekday (yay).

    Wonderful service! great chefs! a variety of choices. This is my new sushi spot! Good for family, dates, or solo

    Sushi rolls with  99% skin and fat.

    Poor quality. Disgusting amount of skin and fat. When contacting management to please make it right, he did not want to replace order. He made us feel like we were lying and wasting his time. After almost 15 years coming here, the way this situation was handled was so disheartening and quite frankly unprofessional. We hope the owner values his longtime loyal customers better as we will never return. Update - After back and forth with owner not wanting to replace, he finally ended up doing so after making us feel so bad for the poor quality they provided us. How could you argue this?! Especially to customers who have never complained and come to your establishment several times a month for the past 15+ years. We won't be returning. Completely disappointed and disheartening.

    Went there for a little break. The restaurant was a little empty but the servers were really nice. I ordered the scalloped sushi and a tempura udon. The tempura udon broth was very cozy with light dashi/mushroom flavor coming through. The noodles were nice and chewy which was good contrast with the crispiness tempura. The sushi also tasted very fresh. For the price you're paying, I think the amount of food is just right and good quality.

    I love Ami Sushi! The Mr. Castro Roll is my favorite! The service is excellent, and friendly environment!

    Unbelievable as always, my Castro roll, tempura shrimp, and volcanoes over the top as always great price got out of there for under 40 bucks unbelievable

    As one of the many many sushi spots in Orange County, I'm here to report that this place is pretty solid. Not the best sushi you'll ever have, but will satisfy your cravings. I think a perfect spot for a quick lunch or for takeout. The rolls are affordable and the service is good. The rolls are big but you'll want at least 2 to be full. The inside of the restaurant has a bar and a good amount of tables, and I'm told that there is usually no wait to eat.

The fish was so fresh, service was fast and attentive, music was good, and the vibe was very enjoyable. Spicy tuna crispy rice: other than our favorite sushi place that sadly closed, this one was the best we've ever had. The crispy rice patty is fairly flat, which is way better and offers far superior crunch than the thick ones. "New style" salmon sashimi with white truffle: delightful. Salmon nigiri: we didn't think it could be this much better than other places. But it was. Seared escolar: I hadn't seen this on a menu in years and got really excited. It was just as incredible as I remembered. Absolutely amazing. Nevada Roll and Red Crunchy Roll: excellent. Perfect tempura flakes and perfect eel sauce. Even my daughter's humble cucumber roll was the best one we've seen in OC. It was very generous with the cucumber. We are thrilled we found this place and will definitely be back!

I've been to a lot of sushi restaurants over the years, and this place easily ranks in my Top 3. Every piece was exceptionally fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. I have to admit, I'm usually not a fan of tuna. But the moment I tasted the tuna here, I thought, "Have I been eating fake tuna all my life?" It was that good--clean, rich, buttery, and unlike anything I've had before. Another pleasant surprise was the California roll. I've eaten countless California rolls, but this was the first time I had one made with real crab instead of imitation crab. The difference was incredible, and I was genuinely impressed. The restaurant itself is stunning. The interior design is elegant and thoughtfully done. What I initially thought was wallpaper turned out to be artwork by a renowned art director, which made me appreciate the space even more. And the fish-shaped light fixtures hanging from the ceiling are absolutely beautiful. Finding a truly outstanding sushi restaurant that I can keep coming back to is rare, and I'm so happy I found this place. This is the kind of sushi spot that turns first-time visitors into regulars. Highly recommended!

I think they have changed their menu also? There were some food items I was looking for but it seems to be discounted. The server were nice enough to explain each items in the menu but we weren't assisted that quickly as it was a very busy night. The decorations are very cozy and felt like you were in a authentic Japanese restaurant they also have a place where you can sit on the floor but that takes about 40 - 2 hours. Overall experience was great! Will go back and try other items.

One thing to keep in mind is that if you don't drink alcohol or follow a vegan diet, the menu may feel a bit more limited.
