Sushi Ai

I’ve had sushi from all over the world from Japan to other Pacific islands and major metro areas in the US and this place’s fish quality is fine. It is a lot better than Kitaro where the fish was dry — seriously I’ve had grocery store sushi that was better than Kitaro.
The $ 20 all you can eat deal at Sushi Ai can’t be beat. As a big eater who knows my limits, I would recommend it. If you do over order, you have to pay for what you don’t eat so be warned. I ordered 20 nigiri pieces, 4 rolls, and an appetizer which would have cost me probably around $ 80 at other sushi restaurants so the $ 20 dinner really saves me money.
The service was kind of slow but the place was busy with other patrons and take out orders.

By far the best sushi I’ve had for the price — only rarely am I not pleased by the sushi, And the only things I would complain about is the eel being cold, or the rice on the nigiri not being the right size or shape, but the fish is high quality, and if you get to know all of the staff, they are all very nice. I come in here 1 – 2 times per week, and they always know what sauce I want on my rolls, that I use low as sodium soy sauce, and that I will always get a soup and salad. Great restaurant.

To anyone who has negative comments, they obviously don’t order right.
I consider myself a sushi connoisseur and the sushi at this establishment hits the mark. It’s good quality, fresh and delicious. Have I had better? Sure, but when I’m looking for lunch or a weeknight sushi date, this is our go-​to.
The service has always been wonderful, the location clean and overall we’ve had great experiences.
The only downfall I feel the need to highlight is their to-​go ordering. Our order is never wrong, but it’s often jumbled up between the boxes which can be a bit irritating if you’ve not ordered certain rolls before.

Tried this place for the first time. Was not impressed.
Always beware when a sushi place resorts to an «All You Can Eat». That means they make their profit from volume not by quality.
I found the quality of fish to be sub par, the service rude and un-​knowledgable, and who puts dried mushrooms in a tempura batter and assume that the deep frying is supposed to plump it up? That’s how the waitress explained the really bad tempura.
The salmon rolls were way too salty and you couldn’t figure out what was in the Fashion roll because it was prepared as a mess. Not going back.
Sakura Hibachi and Sushi in Wentzville has much fresher fish and higher quality cuts. They don’t have an «All a You Can Eat» offer but you can still order plenty of high quality sushi for $ 20.

I have been to many sushi restaurants but sushi Ai has to be in my top 3 sushi restaurants! lunch special is just amazing pricing! It’s all you can eat for $ 12.99 the menu is filled with variety of different types of sushi and it’s delicious!
Good amount of sushi for low price! The service was quick and friendly! The quality of food and sushi was good as well!
I would recommend to my friends and family for sure whenever they want good amount of sushi for that great price
I have been here many times and will continue to keep coming back!

Great place for all you can eat sushi lunch. Friendly and fast service. I eat here at least 2 times a month after group cycling events. $ 12.99 is a hell of a deal for a fresh samon and tuna negiri.

First impression on my first time here was disrespectful. My boyfriend and I were looking for a late night dining after work on a Tuesday night. We found Sushi Ai closed at 10 pm so we decided to head over. We got there at 9:15 pm. Before setting foot inside, we were told the sushi bar closes at 9:30 pm and they were only taking to-​go orders. Now this is clearly a tactic being pulled by the employees in order to get out early. No matter what, if you advertise that you close at a certain time, follow your policy. Your name clearly advertises SUSHI and the sushi bar closes at 9:30? While on the door, it says you close at 10 pm. Wow. In the long run, customers would rather drive the extra mile to go to Kitaro if this disrespect keeps up.

If you looking for sushi restaurant, Man this is the place. The deal they got and also the food quality is so perfect. I will recommend this to my friends. Especially try out the dynamite roll they are the beast!

I am new to sushi and sashimi. This restaurant has excellent variety and is very tasty. I’ve never dined in so can’t comment on the table service.

Sushi was of average quality. The rolls however, not so much. The rice was over cooked mush on the rolls and was forced to eat it or have to pay for it since I went with the buffet. If your going to sushi ai, go to the one in St. Charles, not this one! Was my first and last visit.

I almost always get the all you can eat sushi. But I have yet to eat anything bad from there. My husband doesn’t like them because he orders the chicken fried rice and they always give him like 4 little strips of chicken and that’s it so he has to order double meat. Their sushi and their crab Rangoon are top notch! But their service is kind of slow. Definitely could be better!

Definitely not the best sushi around, but they have great sushi specials (3 rolls for $ 10!) and some of their rolls are pretty good, like their spicy tuna and spicy salmon rolls.

Their sushi is ok. I like Sushi Sen better. The sushi they served was a little on the room temperature side.

I look forward to trying their locations closer to home. Met some friends here on a Saturday night on our way back to the city. The service was good, the food was great but we were really distracted by the gnats. We attributed it to being near the exit but still there should be something done about them. The flavors and value of the all you can eat sushi made me still give this place three stars even with the gnat issue so that should tell you something.

I have been here about 7 times now.
After my last experience I’m not sure I will be back.
The dumplings were ice cold and my suchi took so long to come out my wife was done with her dinner already. Their excuse? the tuna was frozen. Saturday night at 7pm.
My wife really enjoys the fried rice and I have enjoyed the suchi in the past but I think this last experience has turned me off.

Pretty good place especially if you want a lot for what you pay. Lunch ends at 3:00 pm and they have all you can eat sushi for lunch for only $ 12.99 and dinner for $ 19.99. Lunch was awesome, huge selections and service is friendly and quick. If you are craving a bunch of sushi and don’t want to spend 12 – 15 per roll give this place a shot.

I just ate here for lunch with my co-​workers. It was an awful experience, I still have the sour sushi rice taste in my mouth. Blech! We ordered the «all you can eat» lunch special. (Where you have to eat everything that you order, or they charge you extra for the uneaten food.) I was really hungry, so I ordered four rolls. I could deal with the fact that they were busy and it took over 45 minutes to get our rolls to the table. Not cool, but whatever. The problem was that the rice was disgusting. Something very wrong with the vinegar and WAY too much of it. The rice was mushy too. I choose to not make waves and just eat it, but I felt like a kid again, trying to think of ways that I could make it look like I ate more than I did (in fear that they’d give me trouble if I didn’t finish.)
I will not be eating here again, ever. I should have insisted that we went to Crazy Sushi instead (located a few miles east in St. Peters). I’ve eaten there countless times over the years and never had anything short of an amazing experience.

The sushi is okay, the service was awful! They were so unfriendly to us. I love the sushi to go at the Dierbergs next store so much more!

I have been to this restaurant on multiple occasions and have had a positive experience, but they made some changes last time I went that left a poor taste in my mouth (figuratively…the food is still good).
We went on a Sunday and showed up a few minutes before opening, but were surprised to see the restaurant still totally closed 5 minutes before we were planning on sitting down. We went up to the door and noticed that their Sunday hours on the door are wrong, resulting in confusion on what time they actually opened. At exactly opening time (according to the internet, not the door.), the staff shows up carrying bags from the outlet mall and proceeds to take their time opening up the restaurant. We left and came back later.
The food is always really good – we have never had a bad roll or dish. My boyfriend always orders the all-​you-​can-​eat lunch special. To his dismay, they have removed the lunch special from the menu with a Sharpie marker and now only offer the full price all-​you-​can-​eat dinner. Not wanting to spend $ 20 on lunch, he just ordered a couple rolls and was seriously bummed out (he’s been going there for years).
I proceed to order the Teriyaki Chicken Lunch Special, and the waitress informs me that they do not offer their lunch specials on Sunday, although this is not stated ANYWHERE on the menu. Since we only came for the lunch prices, I politely asked her to check with a manager and see if I could get the pricing stated on the menu. After some back and forth, she finally talked with one of the chefs and gave me the lunch pricing.
I heard another table ask for the lunch special as well. The waitress gave them the same response, and they didn’t push it. I did, however, overhear their frustration. Even though my boyfriend has gone there for years, we will probably not go back. The sushi is good, but not worth the unprofessional atmosphere and devolving menu.

My ok-​to-​good experience the first trip was completely marred by the second. See photos posted. I can’t believe they weren’t embarrassed to serve it. One of my rolls came with a mound of sticky, cold, mashed up leftover tuna scrapings on each piece (the first time I was there, it was actually a slice of tuna, or I never would have returned the second time.) Salmon in my other roll was tough and smelled very fishy — a sign of fish past its prime. Woke up today feeling TERRIBLE, and I only ate a couple of pieces last night. Never. Going. Back. Please — PLEASE — don’t think «all-​you-​can-​eat» sushi places are a terrific deal. There is a reason sushi restaurants like this are rare. Good, quality fish can be expensive. You get what you pay for. I paid for scrap sushi and food poisoning, apparently. Do yourself and your health a favor and AVOID this place.
