    Mushy.. not thick yakisoba noodles...too sweet ..
    Sharlene D.

    Walk in... now a night club vibe, with so many TV screens, and colored lights.. hip-ish music.. ambiance was nothing says Sushi restaurant at all... Waitress was sorta rude from get. .. 1. She didn't come to check on us on her own. 2. We had to flag her down for everything, even another waitress... she acted as if were inconveniencing her ... Sushi was good.. yakisoba was too sweet and noodle too soft almost mushy.. Definitely ramen like noodles and not thick like yakisoba noodles. Udon, meh, he was cold so he ate it.... it was Definitely served in a much smaller bowl, too. No more happy hour menu!! No happy servers or greeter.. SO DISAPPOINTED OVERALL- Will NOT be returning.

    Tasty rolls and Sushi. Loved the Mango Go Go (deep fried shrimp, crabmeat, avocado, cucumber inside and topped with fresh mango and spicy tuna. My dining companion ordered the Rainbow Roll that's filled with crabmeat, avocado, and cucumber and topped with 4 pieces of fish (salmon, ebi, tuna, and ahi)ahimsa. And the Unagi was good too but 2nd piece was a little chewy. The Sexy Tomoyo was an afterthought, and it took quite a while to be delivered. The restaurant did have several parties come in while we were there, so no doubt people know the food is good. Got to see a little one of their huge sushi boats being prepared along with clips of the SF NY game. Overall, the food good and prices reasonable, and a reasonable walk from our hotel.

    Best sushi I've had in a long time. I used to live in San Diego and I'm half-Japanese, so I'm pretty picky when it comes to sushi--but this place blew me away. Everything was incredibly fresh and just melted in my mouth. I ordered a simple tuna and avocado roll topped with salmon, plus miso soup, seaweed salad, and inari sushi. The rice was cooked perfectly--just the right texture, not overdone. The inari was also fresh and flavorful. Service was excellent. Everyone was polite and attentive, and the sushi chefs were super accommodating--they even asked detailed questions about how my dad wanted his poke bowl made. We spent about $63 for five items, which felt very affordable considering the quality--honestly better than most sushi spots in San Diego. The facilities were spotless, the music had great bass, and there were TVs everywhere. I'll definitely be back if I'm ever in the area again. 10/10 recommend!

    Was a pretty good place to get rolls. The rice was not dried out and the fish was fresh. Was not too crazy about the baked rolls. The special rolls were on average $16. The atmosphere was eh. Great if you like sports. I would come here again.

    Ramen

    Terrible! The Ramen here is instant for $18! It's a scam. I would not recommend this place.

    I absolutely love coming here. I come here every Friday with my partner and we always get seated very quickly. The food is absolutely amazing and the staff is amazing. We have been coming here for about a month and now we've never had any issues. The new renovations are very open and friendly and more welcoming to a lot of of the people in the area.. If you're looking for a sushi place, definitely come here and grab some food. The other options on the menu are also delicious as well. I'm looking forward to trying everything on their menu.

    Buy 1 sushi, get 1 sushi is no longer available. The sushi (Spicy Rhonda) was great! I also had the Hawaiian Poke Bowl, it was awesome and worth the $20'ish dollars. The wings were not good and overpriced. The Gyoza was ok. I've been coming to Ninja Sushi for many years, disappointed that the buy 1, get 1 is not available. Bring it back please. The restrooms were updated and I was happy to see they had paper towels. So many TVs, even though nobody was watching them. IDK what kind of theme they are trying to create, but I guess we'll see. The staff were polite and courteous.

    The food was as delicious as ever. Our waitress was good, but there were just too many inexperienced staff working in the front at the same time with no leadership. It was very chaotic. Customers weren't getting the correct orders and the staff was getting flustered and upset. It was obvious that they aren't used to stressful situations and trying to solve the problems, instead they were snapping at each other in front of the customers. We ordered items to go and that process itself is very unorganized. Hope it improves.

    Yes; request wrapped in cucumber instead of seaweed. Won't count for the BOGO though (they're no special orders).

    Ah-So, ahhh so good!…read more 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.

    To MANAGEMENT OR OWNERSHIP - I am writing this tonight with…read morea 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.
