Disclaimer: overall my experience was OK. This wasnt my first time eating here, and up until now I have always held the place in decently high regard because my food was usually good and the service has always been excellent. Today, however, my overall experience was rather alarming. I ordered the chirashi - my usual order. When I received it, the salmon had visibly started to turn brown, and upon inspection the texture and smell were both completely off-putting. I promptly returned the dish and the staff seemed understanding. They removed the item from my bill immediately without any prompt on my part. The concerning part, however, is how it got to me in the first place. The meat was obviously - visibly - past its prime, and thats to say nothing of the smell. Especially with regards to sashimi, a sushi place lives or dies off the freshness of its meat. The very fact that expired meat made its way to my plate seems to me to be a bad sign, and I honestly cant say Id eat there again. The service is great, and on the cooked items the flavor is good, but Im genuinely worried about the quality of the sushi ingredients. Raw fish is not something you let the quality slip on, not even once. Ultimately, while it pains me because I ate here on my honeymoon, I wont be returning. Take that for what you will.

My daughter and I went here for lunch last week while vacationing in Gulf Shores. We happened upon it somewhat by accident while searching for a Thai restaurant. The decor was quite elegant, more so than most Asian (Thai, Chinese, Japanese, etc.) restaurants. They offer numerous lunch specials for $10 or less. All offer soup, rice and an entree. My daughters Japanese lunch special also included a generous California roll and mine (a curry dish) included several tasty spring rolls. Both of our meals were very tasty. The freshness of the ingredients and the preparation was evident. We were both extremely surprised and pleased to have found this wonderful Asian restaurant. Our server was very attentive and pleasant as well as helpful with our questions regarding our lunch entree selections. We will certainly go back when in the area and I would highly recommend it if youre looking for a wonderful meal in a pleasant atmosphere.

Waitress was very nice and we got seating right away. Variety of lunch menu choices! My brother and father got shrimp tempura bento, my other brother got a chicken teriyaki bento, and my mother got tofu teriyaki bento. Bentos came with miso soup, rice, main dish, dumplings, salad, and California rolls! They all said their food was very good! I personally love sushi so I got a speciality roll that also came with a free roll (good deal). I got the Ocean Safari roll and a Philly roll, both were amazing, especially the aesthetically pleasing Safari roll! Overall very good food and nice atmosphere, would recommend for lunch bento or sushi!

Delicious food!!! The ambiance is delightful. The staff makes you feel welcome. I love this place. My family and I now frequent this restaurant because we love it! We couldnt believe how reasonably priced the food was given the quality and presentation. Youd expect the food prices to be way more than they are. Not to mention how the staff make us feel at home whenever were there. I recommended this restaurant to everyone and anyone. Gulf Shores is not only home to some of the best seafood, but thanks to Aji Sai, we can now boast the best Asian cuisine.

The food was not good. I really wanted to like this place, because the waitress was really awesome. But the food was bad. I had the udon noodles with veggies, noodles were bland, veggies not cooked all the way. My husband had the coconut curry with tofu, it was disgusting! The tofu was soft and barely cooked. The only thing that was okay were the 4 spring rolls. The decor is nice, but I am not going back again. Theyre too many Thai/Asian restaurants here thats way better... dont recommend unless the cook changes.

We discovered this spot by accident, but we sure were happy we did! We drive 30 minutes each time we go to Gulf Shores or Foley, but each and every trip includes a meal at Aji Sai! The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly, the prices are more than reasonable, and after trying many different menu items have yet to find anything that we do not like! We highly recommend!

We spent a week last spring vacationing in Gulf Shores and of all the restaurants we went to Aji Sai stood out. We love pan-Asian food and sushi and Aji Sai did not disappoint. The egg drop soup was fantastic, as was the ginger vinaigrette dressing on their salads. We ate there three times during our trip. Twice for dinner and once for lunch on our way out of town.

Just moved here from Texas and it is the first place we tried. Absolutely worth every penny. Great friendly staff, food was amazing and was prepared very promptly. The place is very well kept and has a nice atmosphere and well designed. We tried the General Tso chicken with veggie lo mein and the teriyaki chicken lunchbox. It will be our favorite new place to go.

After traveling all over the world, its amazing that we have such a quality Asian restaurant in our area. We have dined in and we have taken out. They are always consistant with the quality of their food and the service while dining in, is "tops". We highly, highly recommend this fine restaurant. Clean, elegant and prices are reasonable.

Went with my family for dinner. Uncooked chicken in fried rice and soup with disgusting smell. I dont know how it got so many good reviews, food is absolutely disgusting to my taste and will never go back again and will never refer anyone going to this restaurant. We left the restaurant bill paid in full and hungry.

This restaurant has a very extensive menu and many sushi choices. The tiger roll I ordered and the kids shrimp lo mein was very good. My husbands wok grilled shrimp and scallops was good despite it swimming in sauce. The restaurant itself is clean and has a large open concept space. The service was also good.

Dont order curry seafood hot pot, not real hot pot. The crab in seafood hot pot and seafood deluxe is not real crab, its crab stick. Sushi is fine. They have a sushi special menu, "buy one get one". Its a scam. The "one" you get will definitely surprise you.

I never understand why this place is so slow. They have a great variety of really good, different Asian food. Beats the other places in town in my opinion. Amazing curry and tasty sushi. Its in your best Asian dining interest to come eat here.

Excellent food! I wasnt a fan of sushi because it kind of scared me but it is SO good there. The Volcano Roll is so great! Their Chinese is by far the best in the area, too. Now they deliver to my area so I couldnt be happier!!!
