“Food was good for 2 of our 3 in our party, except for me. Food was fine, I guess, but to me it was bland, not a knockout. Maybe that is how Japanese food tastes. I won't go to another Japanese restaurant, if that's the case. Service was fine, we had a reservation, atmosphere was nice and clean, big portions, but the steak and scallops we're very bland to me“
“Came on a Sunday afternoon. Felt guilty bringing a chef out to hibachi when we were the only 2 in hibachi area, but they were very accommodating. The chef, Ajar, was very upbeat and entertaining - that's what hibachi is about. Each hibachi meal comes with a bonus of 2 shrimp - nice touch. They also gave us noodles in addition to fried rice. Huge portions, we split a meal and could not finish it. Waitress was on lunch break but still insisted on helping us. Great service!“
“When coming to place it can be a bit confusing due to the construction in front but when going in its actually a great place to hangout with your friends. Food was good and atmosphere was cozy. Just wish there was a lil more help with figuring out how to order or putting away plates. Overall 8/10 would recommend giving this place a try.Kid-friendliness: A few different claw machines and super vibrant colors.“
“Putting this location as my new "favorite" Sushi Ai. They have a different all you can eat menu, but still all the great choices.First their Tempura Vegetables are the BEST and a better variety than the normal sweet potato & zucchini.Crab Rangoon had a generous amount of cream cheese stuffing.Seaweed salad was good and will order several the next time, they are small.Had a Spicy Salmon Roll and Tuna Roll, both were excellent and the freshest, IMHO. Server was very nice and extremely efficient, food came quickly and vegetables were nice and hot.Can't wait to go back.Parking: In a strip mall w plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: always kids in there whatever Sushi Ai I'm at, they must like it.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“Their sushi was wonderful. And the Service was great, very friendly staff. We got the sushi deluxe which was an assortment of chefs choice of nigiri and a California roll. And then a few other regular rolls as well as their mushroom onion soup. All was delicious and there was nothing left on our plates.“
“July 2023 update - My friend and I came back a couple times and the food has improved. Will be back again, increasing to four stars.Original review: My boyfriend and I have heard so many great reviews about Nudo House so we decided to try it! The ambiance was great - very modern and inviting; the staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I asked what their suggestion would be and they said you can't go wrong with the classic Nudo or the Bahn Mi so we ordered both, but sadly it was very underwhelming. The flavor wasn't rich or flavorful like we expected, and the noodles tasted like instant ramen, kinda rubbery and very bland. Maybe it was just an off day for them but it was highly disappointing, especially after reading all the amazing reviews!Their Mai Lee restaurant, however, is incredible.“
“Small but deliciously mighty sushi restaurant in a strip mall. Many of the typical rolls, but well prepared and yummy. Not a raw sushi fan myself, but noted a happily sated face on others ordering the raw. Service is attentive and polite with lively banter between servers and kitchen. Extensive menu. Enjoyable dining experience.“
“Wonderful food. Elegantly presented sashimi, sushi, takoyaki, gyoza, udon, don buri (bowls of food), and other Japanese options. Many many types of sushi rolls. In total, there is not only more than standard Japanese fare, but it is also delicious, high quality, and beautifully presented. Many different sakes, mixed drinks, and Japanese beers along with international Gin, bourbon, tequila, rum options. They even have Japanese soda pop. Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely decor with exquisite hand painted scenes. I had been there once before and couldn’t wait to go back for seconds to show my adult son who also, this day enjoyed his food immensely.“
“Great sushi spot for the value-minded patron. In my opinion there isn't a better sushi value in the Saint Louis area than Sushi Ai and the Saint Charles location is my favorite. Three value is decent for dinner, but it is excellent for lunch.“
“Ocha Thai is part of my regular rotation with Uber Eats delivery. The pad Thai, yellow curry, and udon noodles are all amazing. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable and the portions large. I will miss this spot when I leave St. Louis.“
“This was a very nice place to eat. The food is really good. They got a good variety. The people are nice but also at the same time they're put off by you being there ordering food. The service takes a little bit long but not too bad. I like the atmosphere. But I'd prefer to just take my food home and eat it there for more comfortableness. But I would give it a try make your own opinion.“
“This is my favorite place to go for sushi in this area. The food is always good, the sushi is so fresh and they have so many options. Sometimes service can be slower on busy nights because they have a small staff, but it is more than worth the wait for “
“Great tasting and great price. My buddy ate 5 rolls on the "All you can eat menu". Not sure how he did it, but he did. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is that they used way too much cream cheese in their rolls. Over powers the fish and other ingredients. I will be back for sure.“
“We love supporting small local business. I realized I haven't written about Ichiban- my favorite sushi restaurant in St. Louis. We have been customers here for about 5 years or so. We came here at least once a week. We usually ordered to go during the weekdays and dined in on the weekends.The owners treat and talk to us like family. Our go to orders are hamachi sashimi, spicy crazy roll, hamachi Kama (yellowtail collar), spider rolls and eel avocado rolls. Last night, I was in a mood for grilled fish so I ordered saba shioyaki combo. It came with ginger house salad, and miso soup. I absolutely loved the ginger dressing here - the owner made it herself. The restaurant is quite spacious, and clean. Highly recommend.“
“Ok, coming from sushi in Seattle and Vancouver, BC, no sushi in st Louis come close quality wise. That being said, most sushi here isn't bad either. Now that we have those conditions it's more about value for me. The sushi AI all you can eat special is the absolute best value you will get for sushi anywhere I've found. Rolls, nigiri, miso soup, you name it. It was all just as good as any overpriced location I've been to.“
“Local spot for just Asian food. Sounds generic to call it generic, but this place has the biggest menu I have ever seen at an Asian restaurant. There is so many Sushi options - rolls, sashimi, a decent Thai menu, Chinese cuisine options, traditional Japanese cuisine items and more! And, if that isn't enough, there were three boards on the wall with another ~20 options AND a flip board on the table with at least that many more! Honestly, it was bit overwhelming, but not in a bad way. Service was very efficient and almost overly attentive. Super quick service and food delivery. I went with the all-you-can-eat lunch for $15 - miso soup (3.75/5): pretty decent. Traditional. - Thai spring rolls (3.75/5): serving of 3. Seemed freshly made vs frozen. Lots of cabbage. Decent. - tempura shrimp roll: (4.25/5) really good. I would order this again. - yellowtail spicy roll: (3.25/5) Ok. Not spicy. Texture of the fish knocked it back for me. It was kind of a smashed fish vs a filet. Maybe this is traditional...? Anyhow, not my favorite roll. I would come back again.“
“Went here for the first time recently to celebrate for a birthday. We did not have to wait long to be seated, but there was definitely a lot of people waiting by the time we were finished. We did make a reservation, but wouldn't have needed it our 530 time. Naturally the group all ordered hibachi. They did have some different options that I have not seen at similar restaurants. The food was nothing special above other local hibachi. Our chef packed the typical flair that we are used to seeing and he spoke softly for the loud environment making it difficult to understand what he was asking. While the lack of engaging antics was different it worked out for our party since we have some there that preferred it that way so it wasn't a problem. I can't say I won't return, but I don't see a need with other restaurants closer to home that offer similar or better food.“
“Oishi Sushi was overall a great experience! The service was fast and very attentive. The sushi was excellent and the restaurant is clean! I came for dinner on a weekday and was seated immediately with efficient service the whole time!My only qualm is with the pricing as I find that their quality is not any different than cheaper sushi options I frequent.“
“Appreciate the proximity of the restaurant to where we reside. Makes for the place we can bring our guests for dinner especially when the request is sushi and other Japanese food options. Amazing service and ambience. Most recently I ordered the salmon teriyaki dinner, hot green tea to drink, and our table ordered several sushi rolls.“
