First of all, when people come in, the staff should ask where they want to sit—like at the bar or at a table. But when we arrived, the staff didn’t ask us anything. After we were seated, other people came in and the staff treated them differently—more politely—and asked where they wanted to sit. It felt like we were being treated rudely. We ordered ramen, one sushi roll, and takoyaki. However, the server didn’t seem to hear us order the takoyaki and later asked if we still wanted it. When it finally arrived, all of the pieces looked burnt.
The ramen was okay, but not great—I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. We only ordered one sushi roll because I was really craving sushi, and we chose the Crazy Roll, which is supposed to have spicy mayo on top. But when we got it, there was barely any sauce—just a small dot of spicy mayo. It’s definitely not worth $18. On top of that, some of the pieces were falling apart. Honestly, I could make better sushi myself. I’ve tried a lot of sushi places, and this was by far the worst.

Fantastic food. I am told by sushi offecianados that this is the best. I can speak the the Bulgogi being generous of portion and delicious!

Worst experience ever since we entered the restaurant they where rude the man handling our food blew his nose and didn’t even wash his hands until we said something about it and on top of that he got mad about never going back there
ELIZABETH CARRETO
Since we walk in they were rude. Floors were super sticky. Man that was handling our food blew his nose without washing his hands until we complained about it. He seemed mad that we pointed it out. Our waitress was trying to convince us that it wasn’t an issue as he would eventually put cloves on. Rice had no flavor. He messed up our order for complaining about his dirtiness. Disgusting. Very disturbing attitude, specially when handling food. Hopefully no one gets sick from this place! 🤢🤮

I’m actually shook this place is ranked so high. The floors were sticky and so were the tables. My Spicy Miso ramen tasted like a maruchan pack. My wife liked her crunchy roll and the gyoza were fine but we will definitely not be coming back. Not worth it.

Kinda torn writing this review. The food is good and hits the spot when you're hungry. The ramen and rolls are decent--not mind-blowing. We've had better in bigger cities, but hey, this is Gurnee, and food options are limited. So go here sushi and ramen around here, What really stood out was the service. There was only one server working the whole place, and it was packed. She handled it like a pro and was super sweet, especially with the kids. Her service push this rating from 3.5 stars to 4 stars. We'll definitely swing by again next time we're in Gurnee.

High quality sushi

Had a lovely sushi dinner tonight. The playboy roll and hamachi rolls are out of this world! I have also done take out of their ramen in the past, also very tasty! Weather to dine in or take out, you can’t go wrong with AHA Sushi!
I came here for lunch and wow! This place is delicious! I got the big mama roll and I was thoroughly impressed. It was absolutely mouthwatering and really worth the money! We also had great service and it's a cool little restaurant. I look forward to coming here again! Highly recommend!

I’ve been a customer for a few years now. Both dine in and take out. The last two times I’ve been disappointed with the quality of the food, but this time I was disappointed with the cleanliness. I found a long piece of hair in one of the sushi’s I ordered.
I feel disgusted that I ate a few pieces before finding the hair. And it was funny because this time the sushi was actually better than the last two times I ordered.
And with the increases in prices I really never see myself coming back. I loved this place for such a long time and even recommended others to give it a try. Now AHA won’t even cross my mind when people ask me for a good sushi place. Overall a very disheartening experience and I don’t recommend eating here!

Found a long piece of hair in my fried rice and the fried rice is all burnt.

I hadn't been to AHA in a long time and missed the memo that it has new ownership. Walking in, floors were a bit dirty. Service was slow, half our food was only slightly warm. Fried rice looked like it was made with Aldis frozen vegetables and frozen shrimp. We'd gladly pay for quality food but unfortunately this wasn't it.
