    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.

    Halibut sashimi
    Sandi I.

    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.

    House Ami Roll
    Kady H.

    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).

    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.

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

    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!

    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.

    Super good portions and the salmon is fatty got this for my delivery food present after having my baby

My party of 4 each opted for the Omakaze and Akira happily convinced me to get the sake flight. The 9 course Omakaze was the star of the dinner, though the sake flight and the miso braised beef tongue were also a stand out. Chef Makoto had new and different seasonal dishes prepared for us this time, and it was nice that their Ikura Bowl remained a staple on the omakze set. Every dish course was a stunner, but the halibut, chutoro, yellowtail, and amberjack were standouts for me. As last time, the ambiance was quiet as the restaurant is on the smaller side. I've sat at the bar every time so I can't say as how noisy it would be sitting at a table. Making a reservation is highly encouraged but drop ins are welcome. Just understand it's a small place and a small crew!

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!

This place nickel and dimes customers for everything. We were charged $6 just to add cucumber to a roll, $4 to add gobo, and even an extra charge to add lemon. The biggest issue wasn't even the prices, it was that our waiter never mentioned any of these upcharges when we ordered. If you're going to charge premium prices for simple additions, customers deserve to be told beforehand. We've eaten at countless sushi restaurants over the years, and we've never been charged these kinds of fees for basic add-ons, especially without any warning. It felt deceptive and left a terrible impression. Restaurants don't lose customers over a few dollars. They lose them when customers feel misled. Transparent pricing builds trust. Hidden charges destroy it. We won't be coming back, and unfortunately, we can't recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an honest dining experience.

The food still tastes just as good as before. They've changed the menu slightly but my go-to rolls are still there. The waitress was very helpful in introducing us to the new ordering system, and we worked out the kinks pretty quickly. We came in at around 2pm on a Friday, so ordering was quick and the food came out just as fast. I saw some people coming in wanting to order a la carte, but the waitress said they weren't able to do that at the moment. I know this might be a rough transition to a new system so I hope people will give them a chance to figure it out. Overall, the food is still great and I'm happy I can try some of their sides I've been wanting to try, but now it comes with all the rolls that I can double and triple order! I'm sure their new ordering system will be streamlined over time and I hope their AYCE transition will be a successful one.

The nigiri had a small amount of rice, so you could really enjoy the fish without feeling too full too quickly.

Unfortunately, the service really overshadowed the entire experience. I was seated before the couple next to me, yet they had already received their drinks, soup, and even some of their sushi before anyone came to my table. It made for a very rough start and honestly took away the excitement of trying a new place. I always enjoy supporting local restaurants and I'm happy to tip well when the service is great, so it was disappointing that this experience didn't live up to that. I will say one of the servers was very kind--it just seemed like she was overwhelmed and handling a lot at once. Also, the gentleman walking around the dining room came across as very unhappy and unapproachable. I don't know what he may have had going on that day, but in the hospitality industry, your attitude plays a big role in the customer's experience. A smile or friendly interaction can make a huge difference. Overall, I probably wouldn't return. Orange County has so many great sushi spots to choose from, and based on this experience, I'd rather explore somewhere else next time.
