Found this place with an almost 5 star review, walking distance from our hotel. We were excited to try it out. The sushi was good, fresh and lots of different options. Coming from San Diego, I thought they put a little too much sauce on the rolls, making them almost too sweet for me. But flavors were there and the fish was fresh. The staff was friendly and the orders came out quite quickly. I would definitely recommend if you are ever in Milwaukee! read more

This is probably one of my favorite sushi spots in town because everything I've gotten is always so good. And you get a really big portion for the affordable price. Service is pretty fast too. I'd highly recommend this to anyone, especially if you're nearby downtown!! read more

The food was absolutely delicious, and reminds me alot of my time in California where sushi is the very best. I am in from out of town staying at a local hotel and I had it ordered for take out so I can't determine service or ambiance but from the outside looking in, it seemed really cute and the staff were really nice. read more

I don't know what it is but I've been crazing sushi so much lately! Awi Sushi is a new-to-me spot though and I'm glad I tried it. They're tucked into the corner of Crossroads Collective food hall, and I popped in to grab some quick lunch to-go. Both gentlemen working the counter were so sweet and friendly! Their menu is vast with tons of great options, so much so that it was hard to decide. In the end I got the spicy dragon roll since it was on special and sounded tasty! It sure was. Crab on the inside and spicy tuna on the outside, what's not to love? It's the best when you see your sushi being made fresh right in front of you, and that's what you'll find here. Try them out on your next sushi run! read more

This place has a good selection of sushi for a reasonable price. There is plenty of seating. Service was slow and any time the server said something I literally could not hear her. She was basically whispering. That was pretty awkward, because I had to keep asking her to repeat herself because I just couldn't hear what she was saying. I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 3 because I really did enjoy the food. read more

The Sushi lovers deal was great. It was fresh and it came with 5 rolls, 6 pieces of sushi, salad and one miso soup. Plenty of food and delicious... we especially like the two baked rolls. The only knock (1* deduction) was for not giving us 2 miso soups... seems petty not to give 2 soups since the meal is for 2 people and the entire meal contains a TON of seafood which is the expensive part. Advice for the owners: offer 2 miso soups. However, we plan on returning whenever we get back to downtown MKE read more

Ordered tons of sushi as take out one night and it was all so good! I had never heard of Awi until I was hanging out at a friend's house and decided I needed all the sushi! Very expensive but I couldn't decide which sushi I wanted so it felt like I ordered them all. I cannot remember which rolls I ordered, but I did take photos of how they came packaged. I'll definitely be willing to try it again and maybe next time I'll stop in, instead of ordering out! read more

I've had my fair fair of sushi but this place takes it to another level. The raw fish are fresh and generously placed on each rolls. The quality is top notch but the average price is ~$11 per roll, which is really cheap compared to their competitors. They just opened, but they are staying busy, especially with DoorDash, UberEats, and GrubHub. Go get yours while they still have 20% grand opening discount! read more

I tried Awi Sushi via EatStreet delivery tonight for the first time and had a quite pleasant experience! I called the restaurant as soon as I realized that I hadn't put a phone number to the order, and the woman who spoke with me was very congenial and helpful. I live on a busy street downtown in a condo complex, and our intercom never works properly, so it's never a good idea to just leave things at the door. She wrote a nice message on the order for the delivery person to phone me once he arrived so I could meet him downstairs. Most considerate, and my order arrived quickly! I was SO impressed with the quality of the nigiri (yellowtail and salmon) and the tasty sushi burrito, and the teriyaki wasn't bad either! I'm picky about sushi, so I was very happy to have that melt in the mouth tasty fish cuts. To top things off, their prices are surprisingly affordable, especially for above average sushi. Now I have another good sushi spot, and it's close to home! I am kicking myself for not trying them before... Thank you Awi Sushi! read more

The piccante pasta is one of my favorites, and not just because chicken is included vs. an add on. The shape of the pasta is super fun and holds the sauce perfectly. The sauce is phenomenal, I normally ask for all the salt, Parmesan, red pepper, etc. up front because I'm so used to things being under-seasoned but not with this dish! It had the perfect amount of salt and spice in addition to the pasta having the ideal al dente cook to it. I highly recommend and cannot wait to go back for more!

They slowly filled as we ate our meal. And one other table of two came in after us. There were maybe 4 people at the bar. All this to say, it wasn't crazy busy by any stretch. We started with one server (who was really good) who took our order then we were handed off to another (who wasn't bad). When we arrived we were one of two tables inside. There were three servers on the floor and two behind the bar which was adequate for the number of people dining. Our initial server apparently was working the reserved seating, but even still, the second server never checked on us after we received our food. Also, we didn't receive our entire order. We weren't charged for the food we didn't get, but had anyone stopped by to refill water or see if we wanted more drinks, we could have asked about the missing food. So, all in all, not the worst dining experience ever, but not the best. Being ignored is never fun.

I wanted to support my vegan brothers and sisters and, having being on the road (actually on Amtrak, so rails, really) for a while, I was craving some protein. Following the advice of the friendly staff members, I opted for an order of "Drummies" (Dazed & Confused) to maximize my protein intake. I ended up eating it in the restaurant and thought the vegan drumsticks were delicious with the two homemade sauces provided (ranch and chili). This dish is pricier than most of the others ($15, compared to a more reasonable $4 for fries or $10 for vegan mozzarella sticks) but memorable. The place could do with a few tweaks in terms of décor/atmosphere but the friendly staff helped make it a nice experience. I'm also rating the Twisted Plants 4.5 out of 5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, based on the following: * Everything on the menu - savory food and pastries - is vegan. * Most of the food packaging is compostable. * Staff members are happy to tell you what's in your food. The drummies that I ordered are from Lily's Vegan Pantry - made in Taiwan from soy and seasoning (no palm oil). * Cookies are from local vegan entrepreneur, Bunny's Bite. * It fills a useful niche of craveable vegan (elevated) fast food. Next time I want to try the Crispy Chik'n Salad (made with organic greens) as it's one of those dishes I never tried before I went veggie.

My partner said he'll have the same thing. I confirmed to make sure that was also including the ice coffee, and the person that took our order said yes. We waited for a while for our order (highly recommend ordering online, we just saw different prices on their website vs online ordering service, so we thought we'd just wait to order in person), then she forgot our iced coffees. We waited some more. She only brought out one. She said oh sorry, I only rang you up for one. So we waited some more. At that point I thought she would just let us have the coffee on the house, but she did indeed ring us up. We were probably in and out with our to-go order in about 40 minutes.

Their website has a popup on the home page saying it comes with fried haddock, potato pancakes, applesauce, and rye bread, but the popup doesn't list the price and it isn't available through the online ordering function. I ended up calling in an order to go, substituting wheat bread for the rye, and also added a piece of lemon ginger coffee cake. The lemon ginger coffee cake tasted fine, but man was it dry. Like Sahara Desert dry. Maybe this was an anomaly and their other baked goods are better, but I'd be hesitant to try them based on this coffee cake. Even though the website says the side is potato pancakes with applesauce, my fish fry came with fries. They ended up being the best part of the meal, which I certainly wasn't expecting. Still, I was disappointed cause I prefer potato pancakes and was given their inclusion as an expectation. The wheat bread itself was ok, but the butter was oddly unsalted. The fish, of which there was three pieces, was battered with a hint of beer, but like the butter for the bread there was no salt to speak of in the batter. As much as I didn't enjoy the unsalted butter for the bread, not having salt in the batter for the fish managed to be more unpleasant. Maybe Blue's Egg should just stick with serving breakfast items instead of adding something temporary that they clearly aren't pros at.

What a cool coffee shop. I sadly had never been here until recently. My first visit was a week ago…read moreand I snapped some pics of the interior and grabbed a coffee with a friend. I went back the following weekend bc I just had to try the coffee flight. It was an absolute downpour outside and the place was packed. Great to see. Staff was very friendly. Drinks were great. I also tried a flaky sausage and gravy biscuit thing and it was so damn good. Can't wait to bring others here.
