A1 Sushi Cafe

I ordered the sashimi dinner with a miso soup.
I was unimpressed with the fish, it somehow just lacked flavor. The portions weren’t very large either, and the quality of the fish was subpar. The miso soup was meh, tried to add some soy sauce to help out. Even the ginger was bad, didn’t burn my mouth at all, was weak.
Overall, not the worst sushi I’ve had, but there are plenty of better places in the area.

Very bad service !!
I called to order gave the lady my order and asked for the total and want to pay, all of a sudden she telling me «I will call you back with the total «
I was waiting for 20 minutes and no one calling.
I am calling her back she start yelling at me that she is busy and don’t have time for me and saying to me «oh my gosh»
This is the most unprofessional customer service I have seen.

This place is terrible! The tempura was soggie with oil and the rolls just tasted off– like the cream cheese was cheep and the seaweed was slimy. Not to mention I spent $ 42 on this dog food and it took an hour and a half to arrive after ordering from Seamless. Never again.

i will never order from here again. when the food arrived, we realized it was missing two pieces of sashimi and they didn’t include tempura flakes in a hand roll (they charge for tempura flakes). when i got them on the phone and told them this, the woman spent a good 2 minutes insisting that she in fact did include the two pieces of sashimi and the tempura flakes in the hand roll. after going back and forth she said she didn’t have time to send them over because there was a rush (at 9:30pm on a wednesday night, mind you) and that i should call seamless. when i told her i wouldn’t do that, her response was, ‘well i’m not calling them, i’m always on hold with them for much too long.’ she then proceeded to say that she was busy and would look into this and hung up. i called back from the same number about 5 minutes later to confirm she was sending the sushi and noone picked up. i called again from the same line and again, noone picked up. i waited 2 minutes and called from another line and she picked up. i obviously called her out for ignoring my call and she finally agreed to send the sashimi. i inquired about the hand roll being replaced because they didn’t make it correctly — she thought i was crazy for making this request. after going back and forth, she finally sent over the two pieces of sashimi and a replacement hand roll, which arrived in 10 minutes. even without all of this hullaballoo, i don’t think i’d order from them again. it’s really not the best sushi in the hood.

Not sure why this place has received such bad reviews. I’ve ordered from here maybe 8 times and not once was I disappointed. Sure the sushi rolls aren’t the best in the city, but they always taste fine.
I’ve never ordered anything other than the rolls, so this review only reflects on the rolls and delivery. Delivery is very fast. Rolls are small and kind of break easily, but they’re good… I never order anything with fish, but this goes with every sushi place that isn’t high end. I also rarely order fish period out of fear it isn’t good and I will get sick.
If you’re expecting nobu style Japanese food, clearly you will be disappointed. But if you’re just looking for a simple sushi roll, this place is fine.
I don’t have any complaints about this place… It’s also inexpensive and when ordering through seamless the minimum amount is something ridiculously low like $ 10.

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. I ordered through A1 Sushi Café through Seamless about 2 weeks ago, and although my order was completely wrong, and took over an hour for delivery, it was fine and well priced, so I decided to try it again. Today, I ordered from them at 2:20pm, and by 4:00pm, I realized that my sushi was not coming. I decided to call them and see what the deal was. The woman on the phone was incredibly rude, told me that the delivery man had dropped the food off to a «lady» a long time ago, and that there was nothing she could do about it. She then told me that I was a liar when I insisted I had been staring at the door for the past 2 hours, and no one had walked in with food. When I asked about some sort of refund, or if she could send something else, she said «NO!» Never in my life have I written a review on Unilocal,and never in my life have I had to call Seamless and complain about a restaurant. Who cares if they have a deal, their sushi isn’t that great, and the customer service is HORRENDOUS. Their ratings are seamless are totally rigged. DO NOT GIVE THIS PLACE ANY BUSINESS.

A1 Sushi is a great spot for takeout and delivery. The sushi is fresh and the prices are very reasonable. Their best roll is the spicy yellowtail.
Recommend: Miso soup, gyoza, spicy yellowtail, salmon avocado, california roll

I had ordered a late lunch from this place this afternoon through Grub-​hub. The delivery time was decent at about 45 minutes. I had ordered the salmon teriyaki bento box, and a seaweed salad.
The seaweed salad was really good; tasty, fresh and decent size for the price.
The teriyaki salmon in the bento box was cold upon receiving, which was no big deal, as I rewarmed it. Other than that, the salmon was mediocre but nothing to brag about. My only dislike about the salmon was that it was on the fatty side.
The bento box also came with a California roll which I did not eat as it was all smashed up and with miso soup which was also on the cold side and lacked flavor.
I would probably give this place another shot and next time try the sushi.
Overall, the food was very mediocre and overpriced for the quality.

Ordered from seamless. Descent delivery time, around 45 minutes. I had the Boston roll, spider roll, shrimp tempura roll, and spicy tuna. Everything was pretty good but nothing special. I’d order from here again for the 3 rolls lunch special. Other than that, it’s pretty over priced for its quality.

Boo for this place.
We had it delivered and the portions for the money were teeny tiny, shockingly tiny, which made all involved extremely upset. No remarkable tastes either. Just bleh and too expensive. Do not order from here.

Thought this place was ok. Nothing spectacular, in fact the service was not good at all. If you want to go here it better be for pick up or delivery.

Gelatinous and tasteless. These are the two words that spring to mind when I reflect on the awful mess of rice and gooey fish that was just delivered to me. I’m not one to chuck food, and particularly not sushi, but I simply wasn’t able to put any more of that cat food into my mouth.
I would steer far clear of this place.

When you’re starving and stuck at work and it’s late, sushi is a good solution. I got takeout from this place recently and had the eel avocado roll and black pepper tuna roll. The second one wasn’t worth the price — it had a slight taste of band-​aid. The first one was all right. Nothing to write home about. Like I said, I had this at the office, so what could possibly be so titillating? Nothing except that it satiated my hunger for the evening.

I was desperately hoping this would be good sushi. I live in the financial district and am always afraid to try the sushi here based on all the bad Unilocal reviews. Admittedly, I am a HUGE sushi snob. If it tastes minutely fishy, I’m done. So when I found a nice flier stuffed under my apartment door for this new sushi place, I had high hopes. Unfortunately, my review will match the reviews for all the other sushi places in this area you’ll find on Unilocal.I started with the age tofu. The taste was decent, but the crust of the tofu was soggy rather than crisp. Then I moved onto the spicy tuna role, which was so very spicy that I suspected they were using spice to hide a low quality of fish. A few bites of my tuna sushi confirmed this– I ended up spitting the tuna out because it was too rubbery and I could start to taste the fishiness. The salmon sushi was obviously old– you can always tell old fish by its texture– it is supposed to be moist, and a little fleshy (or so I’m told. I’m no expert). This fish looked dried out, and when I tried to chew through it, I got a piece of rubber again. This was a waste of my $ 15.

Just had the carrot and sweet potato sushi rolls both were really good. I’d eat them again. I had them delivered so I have no idea what the atmosphere is like.
