Solid AYCE sushi for $25; good value for money for the most part, the sushi was decent, and the space was clean. Service at times lagged but honestly it gave me more time to digest. A bit annoying that there was an upcharge for premium rolls (which were probably the most unique items on the menu) and ice cream. The upcharged ice cream was literally the size of a thumb, so definitely would not recommend that. Otherwise I had a good experience and would give this restaurant a 3.5/5, rounded up to a 4. read more

Sushi AI is always a great choice. We got there and were seated immediately. The service was quick and they were very attentive, refilling our drinks the whole evening. The sushi itself was great, especially for all you can eat. The volcano roll was probably our favorite. I like that you can watch the chefs make your sushi behind the counter. It makes the experience and environment fun. read more

Outstanding food, outstanding people. Always amazing service! We love Sushi Ai. We are regulars for sure

We came for the all-you-can-eat sushi lunch and were encouraged to see how busy it was when we arrived. We did not have to wait very long to be seated and despite the crowded restaurant, the staff were very prompt and helpful! The person I was with isn't very experienced with sushi so having the all-you-can-eat option allowed her to try a number of things she was curious about. The rolls were a perfect size, the nigiri was fresh, and the gyoza was perfectly crispy. We were seated near the sushi bar in the back so it was fun to watch them work and roll sushi while we ate. read more

This was my best experience at all the sushi ai's (St. Charles is a close second) and they have more options for rolls than the others than we have ever seen. It was clean and fast and the food tasted fresh. Can't go wrong with any of the rolls. read more

My sister and I went here before a show at the factory. We weren't feeling the all you can eat so we ordered our faves. We spent as much as if we had all you can eat but the meal was delicious and fresh. Actually I am not typically a fan of AYCE so I was very happy with our choice. read more

Hands down, THEE most efficient service in St. Louis! We were a reunion party of four during happy hour and boy were we happy. Our 4th was running late, but they happily served us while we waited. I chose the standard all you can eat which was $14.99. I'm a planner and everything I wanted to order individually would've been $20 so whoohoo! * miso soup * salad w ginger dressing * shrimp tempura roll * yamasa roll After each plate was finished, it was cleared from our table straight away, but not as though they were hovering. Our water glasses never got close to empty, but always filled to the brim. Once our 4th person arrived, she was served right away and this was all during a FULL HOUSE. This type of service does not go unnoticed or un-praised. Every restaurant wishes to have this type of flow and efficiency, but fall short more often than not. The best first experience at this location. A breath of fresh air and a full happy stomach. You've created a new, loyal customer. read more

Sushi Ai - salad with ginger dressing and Miso Soup - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chesterfield, Missouri

It was fine. DD wanted sushi and we were nearby so we ended up here. I ordered the miso soup and a modified vegetable hibachi fried rice entree. Miso Soup - your basic vegan-friendly miso. Mine was served lukewarm. Could've been warmer, could've been tastier. Vegetable Hibachi Fried Rice - Vegan-friendly when you omit the eggs. I also omitted the mushrooms. I have loved hibachi fried rice since I was a child. It has a slightly sweeter taste than Chinese-inspired-in-America fried rice. And I typically enjoy Sushi AI's veggie fried rice, but something was off and missing in this location's version. I inquired about chili oil and the waitress said they had sriracha. I politely asked her to check again because I just couldn't fathom there not being any chili oil in this restaurant. Chili oil appeared and saved my rice dish. I practically used the whole bottle but the rice was delicious as a result. DD got the all you can sushi dinner for around $24. (I honestly think this is the only reason she insists on Sushi Ai when she craves sushi.) She enjoyed her food but thought it took too long between orders. She'd fill out her sushi order sheet and it'd be a while before anyone came to retrieve it from the table's end. She also ordered a plum wine, which she raved about how deliciously sweet it tasted. REMINDER RE ALL YOU CAN EAT: If you don't eat everything on your plate they WILL charge you extra (yes, even if you try to throw it away). Personally, I like this "no waste" approach. So just keep this in mind if your eyes are typically bigger than your stomach. We both agreed service left a little to be desired. No water refills. Awkward exchanges and looks. And DD's biggest pet peeve: staff doubting she's old enough to drink, so they always think her ID is fake. (I keep telling her she'll take it as a compliment one day!) There are at least half dozen Sushi Ai's around the STL metro area. I'm not sure if they're independently owned or not, but the menus are pretty much identical at all of them that we've visited (which now totals 6). This one is one of the newer locations, situated in the Valley (Chesterfield), directly across the parking lot from the movie theater. You'll spot it from the main road. read more

This is a relatively new find for us. This is our 4th time there. We were there tonight and 6:50 pm and it was packed. Luckily we got the last table. The presentation of every order is beautiful. We tried the Snow White roll, the Saint Louis roll, Crazy Crab Roll, Shrimp Tempura, Pop Up, Volcano Roll, house salad (the ginger dressing was wonderful, full of flavor) and crab Rangoon's. My 4 vs 5 was that I found a hair on my plate as soon as it was set down. I assume it was from a waitress as everyone preparing the sushi had hair covering on. I also thought that a few of the roles had a little too much rice, and just felt like there was a little more rice than was needed. Everything on the inside was definitely sufficient though. We will definitely go again, but I will certainly check my food more carefully before eating. read more

We asked for a booth and they said no even though they weren't reserved, and then whenever we asked to move our table to one of the empty booths they said no and then proceeded to keep the booths empty until more people came in. Kind of felt like we were being stared at our entire meal and just weird vibes. Definitely prefer the other locations more than this one. read more

My brother and I stopped by Sushi Ai in Chesterfield on a Saturday around 1:30pm. Although there are lots of sushi ai restaurants around St. Louis, we recently discovered this one and really enjoy it more than the other two we've been to. A few things are different here-- the menu has a standard a premium option, with the premium being a bit more expensive than the standard lunch fare, but there are a lot more options in terms of rolls and appetizers. The restaurant does lunch prices Tues-Sat (closed Monday, all day dinner on Sunday). We were seated relatively quickly but service was a tad slower than I would normally expect. Nevertheless, the restaurant had ample seating and many of the other patrons were enjoying the AYCE as well. We each ordered three rolls and especially enjoyed the Sunset Tokyo roll, as well as the broccoli in the vegetable tempura. Unlike the other locations, the gyoza is fried here but the filling was nicely flavorful with pork, cabbage and a few glass noodles as well. The quantity of food for the price is something that I really appreciate, and I would say the quality of this sushi ai is better than the others we've been to. Not necessarily coast-level or gourmet sushi, but an overall great value for the meal. We enjoyed our experience and will plan to be back in a few months once the sushi coma is over! read more

Best Value Sushi I've ever had. Great service with very nice people. Would recommend to any and all looking for Sushi in St. Louis.

We've gone to the different locations of Sushi Ai and this one (Chesterfield) is our favourite! The staff and service are always great. Food is obviously amazing. Price is also reasonable. They have a big menu so you get options. My favourite items are their unstoppable roll and yummy roll. Their spicy miso soup is a must too! read more

Sushi Ai - Chicken Hibachi Steamed Rice - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chesterfield, Missouri

So just an update on this restaurant, we celebrated my wife's birthday here at Sushi AI last night. I even called ahead (3 hours before our arrival) to give them a heads up we are wanting a table for 6 people. 1/2 of our party arrived early to ensure a table was ready; and it was. For tonight's outing, the food was good but the service was lacking. Everybody that showed up in our party ordered all you can eat Sushi, Sashimi, Sushi Rolls. The waitress took everybody's order to the 3 Sushi chefs working at the counter (all at the same time). About 20-25 minutes later 1/2 of our table got their food while the other half sat and waited for another 30 minutes before the waitress brought out the remaining food. After multiple inquiries about "where is the rest of our table's orders", the waitress was rushing around the restaurant and paying little attention to (avoiding) our table when we saw her she was giving us it will be right up excuse. 1/2 of our table was finished eating while 1/2 was still waiting on theirs to show up. This was unreal. The restaurant was about 35-40% full when we sat down and about 50-55% full when they brought out our first plates of sushi. Not going to lie, I was not a very happy customer. Once again, the sushi was good but the service was not so much. I'm bumping down my rating for this restaurant to 1 star for very poor execution of food service. read more

Service is pretty good, prices are fair, and it's friendly enough for kids. But this is about as American as sushi can get. It's fine if you just want to put a bunch of California rolls in front of the kids, but the menu is unremarkable. And what's with all the asparagus? read more

Stopped here on a Saturday night 15 min before closing and everything was being cleaned, including the area they make sushi. Many times restaurants say they are closed when it's that close to closing time. They welcomed me in and I ordered my food. Everybody was wearing a mask. Since it was late I could easily park my car with a trailer, but it's at a mall and there's parking everywhere. All the food was delicious and I will return again to try the lunch buffet. read more

My kid & I stopped here for lunch at the suggestion of a good friend and we were not disappointed at all and were definitely full at the end of our meal. We both ordered the all you can eat option and we were ready for an adventure. The first thing that was a little confusing and was not explained at all by the server is that this is not a traditional buffet experience. You are handed several special paper menus and two pencils in which you would mark down what you wanted and then it would be prepared and brought out to you. This was very confusing to begin with since we did not know the etiquette at the restaurant and did not want to offend or look foolish. Once you place your order your food is prepared and brought out to you the food was quite enjoyable but unlike a traditional buffet where you could try one piece before going back for more you have to order entire rolls for most of the menu options. The option on the menu is 1 appetizer, 6 sashimi and 3 rolls of sushi and a desert as a standard order. THIS IS A LOT OF FOOD! We ended up trying to order a second time with less things chosen so that we could get our money's worth but when you realize you are charged extra for any uneaten food, normally .50 per sashimi and a dollar per roll. This can add up fast. Also, on a lot of the rolls are very thick with an unusually large amount of rice being used. Now I have to say we were impressed by the flavors we encountered, the food was very good but when you look at the investment it comes up a little short. Two all you can eat meals are $23 each, two sodas is $6, we ended up with uneaten food at the end that cost us an additional $6. All in all at the end of the meal we ended up spending just over $60 for two people. We are going to try a different location next time to see if this is the standard practice or just for this particular facility, but if you are hungry go ahead and stop by for the experience, but bring a full wallet to cover the cost. read more

the food was decent, but these people do NOT know how to speak English and the menu online really didn't match the menu provided upon arrival read more

Ordered to go a couple of times & food was delicious! Recommend trying the honey roll. Not typical but still good.

The service was very good and the staff knowledgable, but the food was bland, kinda serprising since the last time it was good and tasty. Maybe it was just an off night. read more

Go for the buffet. Single orders are weak. Sake has no specials. That said. It was mid day and half full. So the traffic speaks to the appeal. Lot of business people eating solo. I think I thought up a children's book about a koi in an anime style art work like the moon. Maybe the was the movie wolverine. It would really liven this place up if they served fugu. Get some tetrodoxin up in this spot. Maybe liven is the wrong words. Definitely come here. High quality fish is hard to come by read more

This is my absolute favorite restaurant OF ALL TIME!! I've lived in saint louis my entire life and been to a million restaurants and this place tops it by far. The service and employees are top notch. They never forget food and are extremely quick even when they are packed! I love this location specifically it's the best saint louis location! read more

Staff was very pleasant; not pesky at all. The décor is pretty chic for a Sushi AI and I must say I enjoy the feng shui it creates. Service was great. Food was matching. I thought the Crab Rangoon were particularly delicious. I ordered so many different rolls and honestly can't recall each of them at the moment but I vividly remember enjoying each one! Presentation had a nice touch as well. I gladly redeemed my $3 off All-You-Can-Eat coupon. WINNING! Can't wait to return. read more

Fantastic food. Quick delivery and price is good. I will definitely have this on my go to place

Volcano roll - okay America Roll - good American dream okay Shumai - ok Crab Rangoon - sweeter than I would like Gyoza good Veg tempura ok Miso soup - nothing special Avocado salad - two small pieces of avocado on a bed of lettuce Crab salad - same idea Oreo tempura - good They supposedly charge extra $.50 for sauces which seems a money grubbing move on an ayce Nice ambience theme / decor Service is good. Things may take time to make if they are busy so if in a time crunch may want to order all at once every I don't think the ayce option is worth it given the charges for sauces, lack of sashimi options (or ability to ask for sushi 'narudo' without rice). But worth a check out if you are craving sushi. read more

This is a pretty good place. Quiet atmosphere, good service, and good food. My only comment is that the menu from one Sushi A.I seems to be different from others. Not necessarily a drawback but definitely not what I was expecting. One tip to new folks: Get the to-go or else you'll be paying extra for those bits of rolls you don't eat in the all you can eat. read more

We came here today (Sunday) only after stopping by the St. Charles location and seeing how busy it was. This is definitely a smaller location and not as nice but the woman serving was nice and very attentive. Which was good because I drank about 5 ice teas after burning the skin off the roof of my mouth from the St. Louis roll. I now have a fear of tempura.. which is probably a good thing. The sushi itself wasn't horrible but not great. I'm not sure if this is a timing thing or a location thing but it was quite a bit cheaper than I thought it was going to be. Updating and downgrading to two stars because I still have a huge sore in my mouth and some on my tongue. read more

This a nice and clean restaurant with some great sushi. I know my experience when I start with a miso soup and it's prepared well. When the details of the soup are good then the meal following is going to be great. Service was excellent and friendly. I wish them much success. Will return. read more

Seems like every Sushi Ai is different. I will say this one is the worst. Fiah was dry. Walked vy the sushi bar 90% of the fish was uncovered door was open to sushi. So when we got our order. Needless to say, the fish was dry, with not a lot of flavor. Unfortunately not worth the 23.99 when i got our bill at the end they charge me a dollar for every sushi not ate. Wtf who does this. Honestly best practice to stay away from sushi at Chesterfield. Sure glad the one in Ballwin is NOT this way read more

See video "#BradyEats Sushi Ai AGAIN Lunch date" 20180831 In the chesterfield valley. The menu is Different with two all you can eat options one $12.99, the premium is $15.99.

Not real happy about this visit. The staff really couldn't care less if you were there. The food was just ok. Portions are noticeably smaller. I'd rather a place raised their prices but in this case they did not, raised their prices and reduced portions. Don't think that I'll be returning to this place read more

If I could rate it a zero it would be a zero. First food lacks flavor and all the tempura dishes came out oily and mushy. Then the rolls lack flavor the rice was stale. The nigiri had so much rice double the size of normal nigiri. The kicker is we couldn't finish any of the apps because they were so mushy and we told the server that they were mushy and not tasty at all. She tried to charge us extra for apps that weren't finished because she believe we ordered to much and that we are just wasting it. The menu says they will only charge .50 for every piece of unfinished sushi and rice. Not for any apps that were mushy and nasty. We tried talking to the server and she became very rude saying she didn't care what the menu said that we ordered way to much and that we are wasting her food and kept trying to miscount the actual sushi and rice that we are paying for. Then we asked to speak to someone to explain why the over charge and she said she doesn't know owner wouldn't give us her name then manager came and wouldn't give her name. So to sum it up food=bland/stale service= terrible. Will only be going to the downtown stl sushi ai from now on their food is 20x better and service is amazing. Correction. That was the manager we were dealing with and she sent a server to deal with us that couldn't tell us her name and the managers name. read more

We got two steak meals, they were okay not anything to hype about. Rice was awful, total meal was 54 dollars and definitely wasn't worth it, won't be going back. read more

I love this place. No muss no fuss, def not the bougie spot across the way (Oishi Sushi). This is the type of spot a local would go to in a big city. Their sushi is pretty good, of course, but my litmus test is actually Ton-Katsu (breaded pork cutlet). Their Ton-Katsu is the best I've had in the greater St Louis area by far. Give em a shot... read more

This review is for their Covid safety. I went it for takeout and I have never been here before and I was appalled at what I saw! Half the restaurant is blocked off and empty meanwhile people were sitting at every booth... no plexiglass or any kind of barrier between tables. Literally people sitting back to back! I can't believe people were actually in there eating. So unsafe and should be penalized for this! read more

Great sushi at a great price. Yummy and lots of options. Also had tasty appetizers. I really enjoyed the fried Oreos at the end of the meal. Delicious spot and can't beat the value! As someone who isn't even a big fan of sushi... 5 stars! read more
