Ahi Ahi Sushi Bar and Grill — Restaurant in Lake Forest

3/5 (Saturday), that day is so cold due to the wind and close to the water. It was a perfect day to go have hot pot, but the wait is a little long since we have a party of 9. We are starving and can't wait, we left and went a few doors down and ended up here. We got seated right away. Overall, the food is good and fresh. The service is okay, we have to ask for refill tea a few times and they also forgot one of the orders. Place a small place and tables close to each other. Price is reasonable We ordered many dishes, but I did not try half of it and too hungry to take all the pictures of foods My favorite yellowtail collar shioyaki Baked salmon roll - its good I recommended for non raw eater Salmon belly sashimi Salmon Avocado Carpaccio - I like this a lot Sexy Salmon Roll (Salmon Sashimi on Spicy Tuna Roll, Pickle Wasabi, Red and Green Tobiko, Ponzu Sauce) - Pictures look good but I was not aware it has spicy tuna. I am not a fan of tuna or spicy tuna. Others like this roll. I will go back if I am close by.  I want to try Avocado Volcano (Baked crab & Scallop on 1/2...

If you're a white person with mediocre taste in Japanese cuisine, this is the place for you. The sushi is not only made with poor craftsmanship, but with smallest morsels of fish I've ever seen. The non-sushi items were akin to buying a cheap microwave meal at the grocery store (the latter being arguably better).The menu is cluttered and features around 5 different types of sushi that they serve (most of which served with cucumber chunks instead of rice, disgusting). Customer service is severely lacking, as there are only two waiters running around trying to remember everyone's orders while leaving tables and seats tacky and sticky (again, disgusting). As if a restaurant could get any worse, Ahi Ahi also manages to steal your money by overcharging you for the miniscule serving sizes of their dishes.

I recommend this place to people with no taste receptors or people who want to waste as much money as possible and still...

This is my favorite place to get sushi in Lake Forest. I ordered the sashimi plate (I think 10 piece?) plus two of the tuna belly. It was all very fresh, and nicely presented. It may be one of the best sashimi plates I have gotten in the USA. Service is a tiny bit slow but the entire place has a relaxed atmosphere. My husband got Udon with chicken, it was so big he couldn't finish it, but I think it would make a great item to share between two or more people. This is definitely a surprise for the area which can be hard to find good food in. It is kind of tucked away in a shopping center, the parking lot is not on a main street but it is easy enough to find and I feel that parking is usually not a problem. I would go here again. Probably wouldn't bring my kids but I think there are enough options that they would enjoy if I decided to...
