Amerikan Ichi

Wow, where do I begin? We were visiting my daughter who recently moved to the area. We decided to get some sushi. She and her husband hadn't tried out this restaurant, so we figured let's try Amerikan Ichi. Big mistake!! It took over 45 minutes to get our appetizer and another 15 minutes to get the rolls we ordered. It wasn't busy at all; the chef had his buddies all at the sushi bar, and he was too busy chatting them up and fist bumping them to actually get around to making the sushi in a timely manner. One patron who was leaving told us she waited over an hour for her food as well! The chest literally was fist bumping with his friends while making the rolls, which didn't seem very hygienic to us! The food, when we finally got it, was "ok," but one roll, the volcano, was bland and unappealing. I don't normally write bad reviews very often, but this was one of the worst experiences we've had, and the chef was very unprofessional. With this type of service and nothing-to-write-home-about sushi, I predict this place will close down if they don't clean up their act.

This used to be my favorite go to. However over the years it just seems like they have stopped caring about all their customers who have returned time and time again they horrible wait times and unskilled wait staff. I will say this last time our waitress actually gave us a credit on our bill because we had to wait so long even though we were there first when they opened. I really hope they can get back to the good old days and find someone who can give them that extra hand they so desperately need to run a successful business

The ambience, some aspects of the service and the food quality has definitely gone down at Amerikan Ichi. It is kind of sad, there used to be a real decent level of quality here. There were two sushi bar personnel, only one was actually working and their pace was pathetic. Don't go here you will wait and wait and wait ... for service. Too bad. It once was great, it is no longer worth your time.

the food is great, but we drove 30 minutes to have lunch and found a sign on the door, not on the website by the way., stating they were closing from 230 -430, we literally arrived at 216 and were told as we entered they were closed, The sign on the door stated the hours were temporary, did not give a start or end date or reason. We asked the gal at the door why they were not posted on the website and she said they were working on it???

This used to be one of my go to sushi spots, unfortunately over time it has gone down. Tonight for my husband and Is 4 year wedding anniversary we decided to order to go so we could have a romantic night. 4 rolls, 1 hand roll and two orders of the Asian egg rolls. Total was $75 so my husband tipped $20. We were told it was an hour wait, 2 hours later we got the food. Got home and we were missing both appetizers and the hand-roll. My husbands spider roll was made up purely of rice and avocado, mother California roll had crab that was so dry it crumble when trying to eat it. Unfortunately this will be the last time we will be ordering here.

Takes over and hour to get food, they have a rude paper notice that explains this at the door. The service is horrible, even without your rude notice. The food came messy and we ere unable to eat it with out a fork. If you want sushi, and you don't mind the drive, go to El dorado hills.

Decided to give them another try since it's close to home and i haven't been in a few years. Will never go again. We sat down at 5:15 , 2 other tables were in the restaurant. After ordering we waited an hour before our server came up and asked " do you have anywhere to be tonight , the chef is slacking and is going to make the to go orders that just came in and then a different tables before yours" the other table had gotten there after us. No one offered a refill on drinks during the hour wait. Do your self a favor and take an extra 20 minute drive to Sushi Kuma in Eldorado hills!

It takes over an hour to get your food. Only one sushi chef, that drinks on the job and is more concerned with being a social butterfly than getting orders completed in a timely matter. Cash only, business phone doesn't work, and website is no longer available. The last time we ordered tempura vegetables and never received it. The food is amazing they need to be more focused on food execution in a timely matter. Servers are amazing I feel bad that they have a staff that really needs to be more efficient.

Decided to give this place one more chance, as this used to be the best sushi spot. We waited about an hour & 15 minutes just for 3 rolls which were just ok, when originally it was only supposed to be a 45 minute wait. They weren't even taking phone orders since it was valentine's day, it was dine in only & not many people dining in! Quality of food has went down hill & prices have only gone up. Sad to say that was our last time in there. Don't waste your time or money with this place. What a waste of a valentine's day dinner.

Service was ok never offered to refill any drinks waited for hour and half once order was placed sushi just was over sauced didn't have that fresh flavors had order a roll to go at the beginning had to reorder waited another half hour just to long for a high priced meal
