Yummy food and great service! We were seated right away and after ordering, our food came out pretty quickly. The team checked on us multiple times throughout our meal. The pricing here is a little more than you'd pay at other spots but I'd still go back. Would probably be more of a special occasion / weekend sushi spot for me, versus being a random weeknight dinner. I like how they offer a variety of menu options! Didn't get pictures of everything but we ordered 5 rolls, calamari, and Japanese curry. My husband and BIL are big Japanese curry fans and would order it again! Looked like there were a few regulars at the time we were there, and it was nice to see the team acknowledge and give them a warm welcome back!
We came in for our first time and it was a good overall. We've tried several other Japanese restaurants in Lake Forest that are a bit less expensive, but the food presentation and quality here was noticeably better. We tried the bento box for lunch and liked the large number of items available to choose from, we tried the Agadashi Tofu, Salmon Shioyaki, Salmon Roll and Chicken Katsu, all of which were delicious. Although it's limited to only two items, the portions were decent so we still had some leftovers so enjoyed the rest at home. Service was fine, I noticed there are some regulars here so that's a good sign, it was not busy, but not empty either on a Thursday around noon. For lunch, there are some less expensive options for Asian food in the area, so this will not be one of our regular lunch spots, but it is definitely worth checking out and we will try to come back again, just not for a while.
I've come here a few times for lunch and always had a good experience. There are not a lot of decent sushi places around the area so this one stood out to me. The customer service is really good. I like the lunch specials. The deluxe lunch bento boxes are very filling and the quality of the fish was pretty good in my opinion. It does get crowded at times but I never had to really wait to get a table. There is plenty of parking in the plaza as well.
Was craving sushi and decided to give this place a try. Ordered spicy variations of sushi with Tuna. Contrary to number of reviews I found the place quite reasonable given the excellent quality of sushi and generous amount of fish on each piece. Great flavor and presentation. Pictures are worth a thousand words
Ahi Ahi has become one of our go to restaurants. We discovered it a few years back and we are hooked. The food is amazing and the service is out of this world. Their sashimi is on point as well as their other scrumptious items that populate their delicious menu. Jay the manager is a great guy and always makes our visits pleasant. I highly recommend this restaurant though hesitantly as I don't want this hidden jewel to get so popular I can't get in.... lol. This place rocks !!!!'
I love sushi. I especially love extremely good and fresh sushi. However, I have never sat at the bar at a sushi restaurant and watched the itamae create. This was my first time, at Ahi Ahi Sushi Bar and Grill. The sushi was superb. I had a spicy tuna roll, yellowtail belly sashimi, and a spider hand roll. All absolutely delicious. My favorite was the spider hand roll, which I had never tried before. I loved the softshell crab. The yellowtail belly was delectable. The talents of the itamae were amazing to watch. Their knife skills, their speed, their artistry, and their understanding of flavor and balance were outstanding. I was riveted watching them. They had great personalities, too! Made me feel very welcome. This open a new window for me regarding sushi, and I plan to sit at the bar more often in the future.
The rolls are good. We got the red crunch dragon roll and I love it with the crispy onions. Their yellow tail sashimi was fresh wish they gave some shiso leaves with it. I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 stars because they forgot a dish and pretended it was still coming but took 15 mins so I think they forgot it when we didn't even order a lot. We ordered 4 items and they forgot 1 out of 4.
We had such a wonderful experience the last time that we dined at this restaurant for my birthday. The server was very friendly and attentive and the food was beautifully presented and delicious as always. We ordered our usual bottle of Kikusui sake with our meal and to follow up he recommended we try a bottle of the Dassai (I think? The picture of the bottle is in my photos.), which was very smooth. It may now be our new favorite! At the end of the night the sweet waiter surprised me with a delicious ice cream treat topped with a lit birthday candle. We have done both dine-in and take-out, and it's so much nicer to dine-in when ordering sushi and tempura. Everything is fresh and nothing comes out of a container soggy. We will definitely be back!
