I have been wanting to try this place for years and keep forgetting about it as it is located in a small strip mall on the other side of the tracks (literally) so I tend not to think of that side of town for dining.I was greeted immediately and sat at the bar. I have favorites I like to order in order to gauge the quality of the place and chef.First, the disappointment: the futomaki was plain, uninspiring, and plain dull. Not worth the $14. And a futomaki is a traditional roll that allows for a lot of creativity. I have had some stellar futomakis. Not so here.I had a bottle of junmai ginjo at $24 dollars. It was smooth... almost too smooth. The rice polish is 55%, same as one of my favorites, Kikusui junmai ginjo that has more distinct characteristics. While I have no complaints per se, I would look for something else next time.The nigiri was very good. Good taste, generous cuts/portion size, and the uni was great. Very fresh. Thank you Santa Barbara!I'd give the place a 4.5 to be more fair. I'll be happy to go back, but with more realistic expectations.

One suggestion for the owner? Carpet does not go well at a restaurant! Food is good but the place needs some changes

The food..... fresh as can be and amazing! The service, not so much. I was the only person in the entire place. My food sat on the sushi station for over 15 minutes while I stared at it from my table. Not one word from the waitress. Again, the only person in the restaurant. You would have thought the chef would offer me a little extra. Nope, very sad. I guess the takeout keeps them going. :/ Over $50 for one, again food was awesome!

Delicious sushi and tempura udon. Portion is generous, pricing on here is moderate to high in the area. It's around the all you can eat price in the area.Do note that leftovers you should bring your own to go boxes or pay $1 / each.Parking: Shared parking

Moved away but I still try and come back and visit when I’m in the area. I typically get the ichiban roll and chicken karaage, both of which I recommend. Servers and owners are always nice and welcoming.

Three stars for the friendly staffs.We were hungry and needed a quick bite.Pros:Regular ramen is delicious was real noodles.Cons:Spicy Aya ramen is just package ramen (Shin ramen?) for $16 and doesn’t not include pork meat.. very disappointing (could’ve cooked that at home).Hubby was not crazy about the dragon roll.The staff is great but the food is lacking.

I came here solo. They made me change the TV channels myself to put the US Open golf tournament on - they should have done this. I have cable and they have satellite, so it took me 15 minutes to figure it out. They then made me wait several times to serve other customers when they knew I was ready to order. Honestly, it seemed a little racist. I’ve not had experiences like this here before. But it was kind of uncomfortable. Disappointing to say the least.
BIG pieces of fresh Nigiri. I initially thought the price for Nigiri was expensive, until I recognized the amount of fish on each piece is nearly double the traditional size. The Sake (Salmon) was quickly seared for a light color, then cross hatched with a knife, very nice presentation. Prices for traditional rolls and specialty rolls are also at a premium in price, but plus sized as well. Edamame arrived piping hot (really hot) and within minutes, but expected since it was Monday night, and few attending at that time. Happy to return, remembering to order less to get more, for about the same price.

Went on Saturday evening GeForce a dinner. We had a reservation, but surprisingly the place was not busy. We got seated promptly, even were offered a few tables to choose from. We decided to go for a Sakura roll and than the dinner combo - came with soup, salad and choice of main dish (we opted for beef teriyaki and beef Bulgogi, one of the rolls and tuna sashimi. Fish was fresh, meals were nicely presented and were very good. Also beef courses were tasting very well and portions were on the larger side. Over all very satisfied and was worth of money spent.

I love this place! The food is delicious every time. It's not noisy like most places. This place is tucked away in a tiny strip mall, so it's like a secret hide away. I'm so glad I found Aya Sushi ?

Visited Galveston briefly and came here with a party of 4! We shared each other's plates and had so much food, which was all incredible. The Pink Lady roll was amazing, as well as the General tsos. The staff was great as well.

The Shark! All the food was wonderful. But try the Shark.
