    The sushi, service, and 20% off daily happy hour were all excellent. I had the Seared Toro Roll with the Toro raw instead of seared. It was very tasty and satisfying. I ordered the Tataki Special Roll and it left me full & happy. The waitress was very kind and upbeat, so I'd definitely return! They also have a Los Feliz location, if you're off the 5.

    Spicy edamame BEWARE

    I was craving sushi & our son said Sushi Ai was his favorite so we went and it was absolutely delicious! Everything was super fresh & our server was polite & efficient. One warning: the spicy edamame is HOT so beware.

    I had Happy Hour dinner here! The food was great and our server was excellent!! My only thing was the music was not good. Change your playlist and you get 5 stars!

    We wanted to try another sushi spot on 2nd Street and picked Sushi Ai for the outdoor seating. We were the first to arrive just after they opened at noon. A sign indicated that we could pick our own table and once we did, the server was quick to arrive and let us know that we could choose from the Happy Hour menu which gives you 20% of a selection of appetizers and rolls along with a variety of beers. We opted to order off the regular menu and tried the Baked Jumbo Scallop, Eel Crunch Roll and the Sashimi 9pc lunch special, which included Tuna, Salmon, and White Fish for 19.99. The Baked Scallop arrived steaming hot and was so flavorful. Along with the Eel Crunch all the sauces were so well balanced. The Sashimi tasted fresh and was filling. Overall, a delicious meal with great service!

    Sashimi lunch
    Trisha S.

    Amazing quality of sushi. It is a little on the pricier side- but it's definitely worth it. They have lunch specials which are perfect. I enjoy their carpaccios, the sauce they used for my tuna was amazing!

    Bento box
    Kenny Y.

    Sushi Ai is one of my favorite sushi restaurants for a few reasons. The staff is personable and actually talks to you (on slower days), sushi/nigiri is fresh, and it's clean. As you walk in, you're greeted by the staff. I like many of the options on the menu - there's sushi, nigiri, bento boxes, udon, and bowls. It's a simple menu but it has many of my favorites. My go to are the bento boxes, bowls, and fresh sushi. However, prepare to spend a little more. It is more on the steeper side!

    Tofu bowl

    Yum! They have a new menu! Tried there tofu bowl it was bomb!! Definitely coming back! Good for my vegetarian friends! Highly recommend

    Just the rest of delicious sashimi ! Thank you so much to be very nice with the food that I am eating!! Salmon Sashimi
    Elvia R.

    What a delicious food is here, at Sushi Ai. Thanks Cristopher, you are always an amazing chef!!

    Fire Roll
    Vinny G.

    Self seating during slower hours. Servers are polite and friendly. I'd recommend getting some type of appetizer since the rolls take some time to freshly prepare. Baked mussels are a personal favorite along with shishito peppers. I usually get the Spicy Alaska or Fire roll. The restaurant is quite relaxed. Chefs are often open to having a chat which also gives it a lively ambiance. Always a pleasure to eat here! They have a happy hour with select rolls at a 20% discount.

    7/22/23 Finally trying Sushi Ai

    7/22/23 Finally stopped in to try Sushi Ai We've passed by this sushi joint about a few dozen times, so hubby was feeling like having sushi today-Why not give it a Go? We rolled in, no wait at 10 pm on a Saturday night. Initially, our server was Maria, then Angie stepping in. Hubby ordered salmon roll, Scottish pepper salmon with garlic ponzu & Fire-i guess he was really famished. I opted to get the Sushi & sashimi dinner--this was highly satisfying. The fish was sliced THICK, the sushi chef didn't skimp at all. It tasted fresh, great mouthfeel. It was silky smooth. Presentation looked a bit sloppy but the food tasted great. Hubby gave his rolls the two thumbs up! Service by Angle was fairly prompt but not as attentive as we'd like. We sat outside by the sidewalk & people watched as we dined. For the price we paid, I expected better/attentive service. Highly satisfied with our meal.

    Oooof sushi ai is so underrated & was honestly so surprised there wasn't as much people. But hey, I guess I can't complain about a line. Very good sushi for a decent cost. I live in the Bay Area though im desensitized to the cost of dining out LULZ. But anyway, I got a salad, 2-piece toro and 3 additional rolls for ONLY $89. Like what an absolute steal! The service was quick and staff was so friendly. Ambiance is pretty casual which is nice if you want good sushi and a chill date night. I'm definitely coming back! Toro = MELT in your mouth delicious. If I could just eat toro and not break my account I would. Hawaiian Garlic Roll = OMFG. The holy grail. The butter flavor in this roll adds next level. Jumbo scallop roll = delicious flavor but felt unsure about how overcooked the scallops were on top. Crispy onion roll: delicious but not my favorite. Between the fish, flavor and crispy salad and onion on top it felt too acidic.

    There's a reason we have a saved note with our order (scroll the end if you want it!) because Sushi Ai is a fantastic spot for the sushi lover in your family. This is my go to in Long Beach and has been for over three years. The outdoor patio is perfect for people and dog watching while also being steps away from fresh juice & desserts. The inside of the restaurant is perfect for a date night or family dinner. As for the carpaccio, good luck deciding. They are all delicious. Our go to order is Tuna with Cilantro X 2 Salmon with truffle caviar Tuna with garlic chips Yellowtail carpaccio 2 orders Salmon belly sushi Albacore with crispy onion Pepper salmon Miso soup

    Billy and I ended up at Oho Sushi Studio almost by accident after bailing on another dinner plan in…read moreCerritos, and honestly, I'm glad it happened because this place has officially entered our regular rotation. What's funny is that we've both lived around Long Beach forever and somehow never fully connected with Oho despite hearing good things about it for years. We had randomly stopped in one afternoon recently thinking we'd just split a roll and head home, but the food ended up being so good that we kept ordering "one more thing" until we accidentally skipped dinner entirely later that night. That experience was good enough that when we found ourselves trying to figure out dinner again yesterday, Oho immediately came back into the conversation. We got there early evening and the timing was perfect. Busy enough to feel lively and like you were out for the night, but not so packed that service slowed down or the room became chaotic. The pacing of the meal was honestly one of the best parts. Dishes came out steadily without crowding the table, and everything felt very natural and relaxed. The tuna crispy rice was fantastic and a little different from the usual presentation. Perfect crisp on the outside, almost caramelized, with really airy spicy tuna on top that reminded me more of a tartare texture than the heavier versions you sometimes get elsewhere. We also had bluefin tuna, toro, salmon sashimi, a spicy scallop roll, and the Extreme Crunch Roll with light eel sauce, which ended up being surprisingly balanced and not over-the-top despite the name. Even the iced green tea stood out. Bright green, almost cloudy, super refreshing, and honestly exactly what I wanted with sushi. Service was excellent both visits. It felt very team-oriented behind the sushi bar and on the floor, which kept everything moving smoothly without feeling rushed. A couple practical notes: parking is easy overall, but the lot is shared with the motel, so just be mindful where you park and try to stay closer toward the restaurant side of the lot. Also, this feels much better suited for couples or small groups than large parties. Four people would be ideal. Six is probably pushing it unless the restaurant is unusually quiet. Really happy we gave this place another shot because it ended up being one of the more satisfying sushi dinners we've had in a while.

    Hands down one of the best sushi experiences I've had in Long Beach so far. From the moment I…read morewalked in, I felt transported to Japan. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and I believe the owners were there that evening, they were incredibly kind and even toasted with me a few times, which made the experience feel extra special. Every dish was beautifully presented, incredibly fresh, and packed with flavor. I wish I could tell you exactly what everything was, but my ADHD memory isn't doing me any favors . What I do remember is that every bite was delicious. The sashimi melted in my mouth, the nigiri was perfectly prepared, and the presentation was stunning from start to finish. If you're looking for high quality sushi in Long Beach, this spot is absolutely worth a visit. I already can't wait to go back. P.S. The photos probably do a better job of remembering what I ordered than I can.

I went with the teriyaki beef ($2 up charge), mixed tempura (one shrimp and mixed veggies), and spicy tuna roll. Deb went with the chicken teri, mixed tempura, and salmon roll. The bento box comes with miso soup, and green salad with a ginger miso dressing. We both enjoyed our bento box. However my teri beef was tough. I probably should've sent it back and got the chicken instead. We loved the mixed tempura. It was crisp and not too greasy. I also liked my spicy tuna roll. Service was friendly and attentive. There's plenty of parking which is shared by Target and other smaller stores in the same lot.

I opted for the Wagyu lunch menu along with a few sushi rolls. The food was good, but as a huge Korean BBQ fan, I'd say the BBQ itself was just average. For the price, I probably would've rather spent the money on the all-you-can-eat option at one of my favorite spots. It just didn't quite satisfy that Korean BBQ craving. The sushi, on the other hand, was the standout. The rolls were fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced. I'd definitely order those again. I also came during happy hour and was a little surprised they don't offer a happy hour menu, that would've been a nice touch. The restaurant itself is clean, modern, and has a great date-night vibe. The service was another highlight. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, I'd come back for the sushi, but probably skip the BBQ next time.

But I had heard so many great things about HiroNori that I wanted to try it anyways. My brother especially kept hyping them up, and he LOVES ramen. And I'm glad I decided to try them out! While HiroNori is a SoCal chain, it still feels like a mom and pop restaurant. The crispy rice with tuna was EXCELLENT! Everything you want from crispy rice and spicy tuna. The tonkatsu was delicious! Great depth of flavor. They bring you garlic and spicy paste on the side. I had to add A LOT of spicy paste to get it up to the level I wanted, but while at other restaurants I've lost the broth flavor when adding too much spice, the spicy paste just enhanced the tonkatsu broth. And the pork in the tonkatsu - truly next level. This is probably the best pork I've ever had in a ramen dish. The noodles were also fantastic with the perfect amount of bite. I loved my jammy egg as well. The restaurant itself is smaller, with fun lighting. There is a parking lot which is great. They do not have tipping, instead they have a service charge of a little over 17%. Definitely worth it!

I'm a sukiyaki broth lover, so it's somewhat similar to that taste profile. I like how they also provide garlic and house spicy sauce as it just makes the ramen even better and seals the deal.

They also provide watermelon infused water, which was perfect for a warm day out. Although this restaurant is quite small, service was fast and very accommodating. I have been here several times and service plus quality of the food never changes! Seats here don't have any back support but it adds to the modern aesthetic and vibe of the restaurant. I've been eyeing the cucumber crab salad, so I look forward to coming back and trying it next time.
