I don't tip on carryout.
Did I receive an old piece of fish because I didn't tip? I think so.
You'd have to be a fool to think they don't give their freshest fish to the biggest tippers.

This place used to have great and fresh sushi. Over last few years we were their customers and ordered a number of trays from them. However, over last few times the sushi we ordered were not as nice as used to. We gave it a few more tries and it's consistently worse. And just recently, on Sunday, we ordered sushi over phone and they were not tasting well, not fresh and not really up to standards. What's worse, one of my kids fell sick with stomach after eating the california rolls and we believe it was just not fresh. Unfortunately, we will not be ordering from AO Sushi anymore. You lost a loyal customer.

A one style take away restaurant — which is a good thing. This place does sushi with just a handful of ingredients in each of the expected formats — rolls, sushi, sashimi, etc. The menu has been the same for years, with only modest changes. The preparation is mostly traditional, it’s generally fresh and tasty (though there have been nights where something is off). The cooler almost always has some grab and go options; otherwise, order ahead to make the wait more predictable.

Ok overpriced, fishy tasting. Not fresh. Hmart had better quality as does akai Hanna. 27 dollars for two rolls that were PRE-MADE one was STINKY like strong fish. We miss sea ranch.

AO Sushi is a testament to quality & simplicity. Quite possibly the most hidden gem on the north shore. Perfect craft meets effortless passion.

#1 Sushi place for me. SO FRESH and delicious 😋. The quality here is top notch, from the to-go sushi in the fridge to the specialized sushi you can order at the counter. I especially loved the hand rolls because they were huge and so fresh. There are so many options for specialty rolls, maki, poke, and vegetarian options as well. I also tried the mochi for dessert and it was so good. Whenever I crave quick sushi I think of this place. Such a great place in the north shore for easy sushi for reasonable price and amazing taste! 🍣🍨🍙 Just from the pictures you can tell this quality is superb.

The rudest staff I've encountered in years! Take note the elder manager sweeps the dirt from the carpets in the direction of the food being prepared - that's a health code violation.

Walk-in customer. Ordered, paid, tipped and sat there for 14 MINUTES until they gave the ticket to the prep crew. Became even more rude when I asked for my money back. Waste of time - HORRIBLE MANAGER.

The Food, really decent. Sushi grade is commercial grade, not high end... but pieces were nice sized and taste well. You cannot get spicy mayo for free. No napkin was offered either for dine in. Not even water. Price is reflective of the area and food cost. NO DISCOUNT AVAILABLE FOR MILITARY or First Responders. Staff seemed to prefer orders to go over dine in. That's my first and last impression. Did l think the food was good yes but for the reasons listed, I'll find someplace else that has a little more to offer. The picture you see plus one piece of nigiri was $30.00+ without tip.

Excellent place to cater from. The sushi is made to order and everthing was ready on time. The trays were a big hit and everything was fresh! I have been here a number of times and the quality is always consistent. I would recommended getting some fresh hamachi or ebi, grab a package of seaweed and wasabi, boil up some sushi rice and make your own rolls at home!

Very very good grab and go sushi. Yesterday was the first time I’ve been there in a long time, and the cashier was so aloof! Young darker skinned girl was more interested playing on her phone than costumers. She was very distracted and took away from a great experience!

I'm a fan. They have excellent sushi at a very reasonable price for the quality. The wait times can be a lot though during peak rushes. More than meal delivery or their website estimates. They have like 4 barstool seats up front but this is really takeout only. One of our regular go-to places.

This is a perfect pick-up-and-go sushi place. I have only ever stopped here for lunch, but they always have a great selection of fish and vegetables and rice (I love inari!). The staff is VERY nice.
