Worst place ever if you’re pregnant. Refuses to make sushi for pregnant women. Normally it is a premier tepanyakki restaurant. However, this is the first time eating here while my wife is pregnant and they refused to make sushi for her that is safe for pregnant women.

i used to take my daughter here when she was a kid, it’s the only place she’s sit still and watch the teppenyaki chef’s do their thing. That was 25 years ago. The décor has not changed on bit. seriouslly, same tables, same chairs and perhaps same people… ha ha I took my grandkids there and they loved the entertainment. food was good, chef was entertaining, but i couldn’t believe how they hadn’t changed in 25 years, not even the curtain to the bathroom area. again, food was good, pricing was fair. no worries on going there, just not a modern place.

I chose Ah So for my birthday celebration after reading good reviews and good word of mouth. I was completely blown away! We had so much fun. We came at 7:30 on a Friday night and it was quiet and not busy. I like a quiet atmosphere so this was perfect for me. The waitress was welcoming and friendly. The chef was hilarious and fun! He got all of us involved in the Teppanyaki experience. Now to the food. The food was just as amazing. I normally don’t like fried rice but this rice was delicious. The chicken was cooked perfectly. Everyone’s food looked great. I just left, and I already want to go back! This place was awesome. Great experience!

Are you looking for the cure for your sushi cravings? Do you wish that you could be permanently rid of your roll addiction? Then look no further than«Ah-so»… with their wide array of fetid fish, chewy seaweed, stinky rice and hot sake made from paint thinner. This place is guaranteed to exorcise you off of anything remotely Japanese. This is the place that has the owner muttering«dumb ah-so» anytime any customer forks out money for their gut wrenching fare. After the experience you will be sure to scream«oh my poor raw ah-so» as you crawl out with nary a need to ever go back to associating with anything sushi like in your life

Food from the grill good. Sushi was absolutely horrible, esp the eel sauce on the caterpillar. Yuck Not to mention they charged a 15% grat to a party of 5… seriously? 3 adults, 1 child tepanki, I had sushi. Never come here… I knew it was bad the first time I tried it. Yuck Server was horrible… had no idea the difference between a Pinot nior and a Pinot Grigio… come on, your a server! Smh

Fantastic place! Went in around 8:30 on a Saturday. Even though the restaurant was steady, the staff was attentive and friendly. We opted to sit in general dining instead of at the grills, but it was just as good. The server was polite, helpful and welcoming. The soup was awesome– best clear soup I’ve ever had, and even the salad was pleasing to my girlfriend, who doesn’t like most teppanyaki/hibachi restaurants’ salad dressings for being too gritty or creamy. The food was cooked perfectly– the rice was fried properly, it wasn’t soggy or hard. The chicken was cooked thoroughly and even cooked WITH sauce, so extra wasn’t necessary. My girlfriend’s meal of vegetables was also cooked properly and thorough, and her steamed rice was awesome! Definitely will visit again!

I am so sad, I looked forward to dinner all day after I found this east valley location earlier this week. It is my husbands birthday so I surprised him. What a let down. We love Ah-So in the North Valley and thought this was related. It SO is not… The service was terrible, the servers were clearly overwhelmed and it all went downhill from there. The drinks took forever, and then my order was incorrect. When I told her, she near argued with me. Since my husband was the only one that got his food I watched him eat– the vegetables were soft, poor quality overcooked steak and dehydrated shrimp. He ate only because he hadnt had lunch and it was in front of him. After 20 more minutes my food still hadnt arrived, we had enough. Sorry but we will not be back.

We went for dinner on July 4. It was not very busy. We ordered our usual teppenyaki dish with a double serving of the fried rice. Our table side chef seemed to be on the old side with one foot in the grave. He was very slow and not very showmanship while the chef next to us had people laughing and involved in the show. The food was good and we will probably come back as we like this place better than benihana. We just will ask for a different table chef.

This place, by far is my favorite place in town to eat. Hands down. I’m not saying who the best chef is. He’s hard enough to get as it is. Based on extensive experience. ;)

We met up with another couple for dinner and sat at the bar side. Sushi was delicious! We had the 8 piece sashimi, red dragon rolls, dragon rolls, Las Vegas rolls, Philly rolls, and octopus salad. Everything was so good. The only one that was just mediocre was the Philly roll. Service was excellent! Everyone was very nice there! I would definitely recommend to all my friends to go back! I was too busy talking with company… The only picture I took was our drinks while we were waiting! Lol!

I want so bad to like Ah-so as much as the other tappenyaki places but no matter how many times I come back I’m just not impressed. Don’t get me wrong. The staff was very nice, all of the elements were there but it just seemed like everyone was simply going through the motions. I like it, I just don’t love it. I was, however, very pleased with the Philly roll.

I have lived in So California in the LA area since the early 60s and love sushi, teppanyaki and regular Japanese food. One of my disappointment in moving to the Phoenix area had been the shortage of good ethnic food. We were on our way to Pollo Loco and spotted this restaurant and decided to try it. The lunch crowd was sparse(two other tables other than us). My wife ordered the tempura bento dish(tempura shrimp and veggies with a basic vege crab roll. Tempura was greasy and the sauce was not your regular tempura sauce of vinegar, mirin sauce and daikon). It was very disappointing. I ordered a soft shell crab roll and it was also disappointing. The eel sauce was bitter(probably from burnt sugar) and too salty. I ate 2 of the four pieces served as it was way too salty and bitter. Never found the soft shell crab. I also ordered the chicken katsu and the chicken was dry and overcooked. Ate half of what I ordered because I was hungry. I make my own katsu(pork and chicken) and use a Fry’s katsu sauce(I normally use Kikkoman). I don’t understand why Ah-So cant even copy that. The vegetable stir-fry that came with the dish, again, was too salty and too soggy. Our bill came to $ 38 including tip. Not trying this place again.

I have been coming here for years and the food has always been delicious. I wish the bathrooms looked cleaner. They have re done the inside of the restaurant a bit which makes it look cleaner and prices are reasonable. I tried another restaurant of this type and was hugely disappointed. It made me look at Ah So in a new light. :-)

I was a little apprehensive at first, the soup and salad weren’t great, but it was such a fun place and the food for the main course was excellent. I had shrimp that was so tender and flavorful and my husband loved his steak. Our chef Brandon was amazing, it was a blast to watch him flip food and the cooking utensils. I will definitely come here again.

Went last weekend with a few friends and we dined at one of their Teppanyaki tables. The waitress took forever to come to our table but, once she did, the service got better. Ordered some sushi which came out timely and was good. Table service by the chef was entertaining. My scallops were very good. He overcooked the chicken. Wife liked her steak and shrimp. Overall the food was good but I doubt I will ever be back. It was sooooo hot in the restaurant that we couldn’t really enjoy the evening. I have been there three times now and it’s always too hot. Complaining to manager didn’t get any results.

Food was delicious, show was lots of fun. Chef did the veggie toss and I caught it on my first try, my daughter was very proud. Happy Father’s Day!

Probably the best place to take a date to dinner. It is very interactive, the chefs are funny, and the good is fantastic! Their service is great and the ambience is fitting. The one downfall is sometimes you are seated with random people.

Ah-some!!! The food was delicious, and the table-side grill show was incredible! The chef is really interactive with the table which makes it all worth it! I only have it 4 stars because I felt the chicken could have been better but it was an amazing dinner and great show!

My husband and I LOVE Ah-So’s Teppanyaki, and usually frequented the Peoria location. Unfortunately, this time, the sushi chef sneezed all over his prep area. Without covering his mouth, turning away, or otherwise making an effort to block his bodily fluids from coming in contact with the prep area and RAW seafood. The worst part: he kept prepping. No sanitization. We pointed it out to the manager as we left, and were made fun of. Suffice to say, never again.

We’ve been here twice and both times have been great! The chef’s aren’t usually Japanese, but they do a great job none the less. The food is wonderful and despite the strip mall exterior, the inside is nice. It’s way better than Benihana in my opinion.
