“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (12 STARS IF I COULD) Sushi Ai in Arnold is hands down one of my favorite places to go. I’ve taken my girlfriend here multiple times and every single visit has been consistently amazing. The service is always fast, friendly, and on point. The staff moves like they’re running a well-oiled sushi machine but still make you feel welcome and taken care of. Last night we were on a waitlist for 45 minutes, and honestly? That just proves how good this place is. You don’t wait almost an hour for mediocre food. When a restaurant is that packed, that consistently, it tells you everything you need to know. People want it. And once you sit down, you understand why. The food is absolutely delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented every time. Whether it’s classic rolls or specialty creations, everything tastes like it was made with care. It’s one of those spots where you finish eating and immediately start talking about what you’re ordering next time. I genuinely hope nothing changes because they’ve nailed it. Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. It’s a perfect date night spot and one of the best sushi experiences in the area. The only downside, and this has nothing to do with Sushi Ai itself, is walking through the cloud from the pizza place next door where people tend to hang out. That part can be… aromatic. But once you step inside Sushi Ai, it’s a completely different world. Keep doing exactly what you’re doing. Arnold is lucky to have this place. 🍣🔥“

“The best restaurant around!“

“There is an excellent restaurant“

“Oh man this was so good. Better than the other local all you can eat that has multiple locations around the area. I had some hibachi and sushi as well as miso soup. They may not have as many varieties of sushi rolls as the other place, but each roll is much tastier. A miso soup was also extremely good, not watery or sweet and weird. The cost is excellent under$20 lunch in 2025. There were probably 20 or so tables. The server was attentive. I hope to go back as soon as possible.“

“They deserve a 5.0 rating and not just a 4.9!!! The bibimbap was so good, you definitely get your money's worth out of the portion, and if you like spice, definitely something I suggest! The sushi was good as well. I also suggest getting the green tea icecream. Very subtle taste, creamy, and the after taste is where you get the green tea. The complimentary pineapple was wonderful and also a nice touch. Wonderful service and restaurant.“
