Ahi Ahi Sushi Bar & Grill

We came in for our first time and it was a good overall. We've tried several other Japanese restaurants in Lake Forest that are a bit less expensive, but the food presentation and quality here was noticeably better. We tried the bento box for lunch and liked the large number of items available to choose from, we tried the Agadashi Tofu, Salmon Shioyaki, Salmon Roll and Chicken Katsu, all of which were delicious. Although it's limited to only two items, the portions were decent so we still had some leftovers so enjoyed the rest at home. Service was fine, I noticed there are some regulars here so that's a good sign, it was not busy, but not empty either on a Thursday around noon. For lunch, there are some less expensive options for Asian food in the area, so this will not be one of our regular lunch spots, but it is definitely worth checking out and we will try to come back again, just not for a while.

Yummy food and great service! We were seated right away and after ordering, our food came out pretty quickly. The team checked on us multiple times throughout our meal. The pricing here is a little more than you'd pay at other spots but I'd still go back. Would probably be more of a special occasion / weekend sushi spot for me, versus being a random weeknight dinner. I like how they offer a variety of menu options! Didn't get pictures of everything but we ordered 5 rolls, calamari, and Japanese curry. My husband and BIL are big Japanese curry fans and would order it again!Looked like there were a few regulars at the time we were there, and it was nice to see the team acknowledge and give them a warm welcome back!

I've come here a few times for lunch and always had a good experience. There are not a lot of decent sushi places around the area so this one stood out to me. The customer service is really good. I like the lunch specials. The deluxe lunch bento boxes are very filling and the quality of the fish was pretty good in my opinion. It does get crowded at times but I never had to really wait to get a table. There is plenty of parking in the plaza as well.

This restaurant is an okay spot if you're in the mood for rolls or bento boxes, but it's not the place for fresh, authentic sushi. The rolls are decent, and the bento boxes are satisfying for a casual meal, but the quality of the fish and preparation lacks the finesse you'd expect from traditional sushi. The service is great and the atmosphere is relaxed, so it's fine for a quick bite, but if you're a sushi enthusiast looking for fresh, authentic flavors, you might want to look elsewhere.

Was craving sushi and decided to give this place a try. Ordered spicy variations of sushi with Tuna. Contrary to number of reviews I found the place quite reasonable given the excellent quality of sushi and generous amount of fish on each piece. Great flavor and presentation. Pictures are worth a thousand words

I love sushi. I especially love extremely good and fresh sushi. However, I have never sat at the bar at a sushi restaurant and watched the itamae create. This was my first time, at Ahi Ahi Sushi Bar and Grill.The sushi was superb. I had a spicy tuna roll, yellowtail belly sashimi, and a spider hand roll. All absolutely delicious. My favorite was the spider hand roll, which I had never tried before. I loved the softshell crab. The yellowtail belly was delectable. The talents of the itamae were amazing to watch. Their knife skills, their speed, their artistry, and their understanding of flavor and balance were outstanding. I was riveted watching them. They had great personalities, too! Made me feel very welcome. This open a new window for me regarding sushi, and I plan to sit at the bar more often in the future.

The rolls are good. We got the red crunch dragon roll and I love it with the crispy onions. Their yellow tail sashimi was fresh wish they gave some shiso leaves with it. I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 stars because they forgot a dish and pretended it was still coming but took 15 mins so I think they forgot it when we didn't even order a lot. We ordered 4 items and they forgot 1 out of 4.

Ahi Ahi has become one of our go to restaurants. We discovered it a few years back and we are hooked. The food is amazing and the service is out of this world. Their sashimi is on point as well as their other scrumptious items that populate their delicious menu. Jay the manager is a great guy and always makes our visits pleasant.I highly recommend this restaurant though hesitantly as I don't want this hidden jewel to get so popular I can't get in.... lol.This place rocks !!!!'

As sushi bars go this is pretty much straight down the middle I of the road. I will say the service was very good. The rolls were ok - nothing to shout about but certainly acceptable. I got a piece of ikura and a piece of Uni for "dessert" - these were about half the size I'm used to. Tasty - just smallish. Beer was fairly priced. Like I said - nothing special but decent with above average service.

We have been going here for years. My kid loves the chicken karaage, edamame, miso soup. Husband and I enjoy the sashimi and sushi and salmon collar. Great service and clean space
