  I'm conflicted on this review.  
  Food quality - 5 stars
  I am pretty picky and know good sushi from poor, and Sushi AI is right up there with very good sushi/sashimi.   I've been here maybe 10 times and never had a complaint bout the food, it's always very good; and most importantly, the fish is very good and very fresh.    
  
  Service - 2.5-3 stars
  The service is the real disappointment here, and by service I mean the actual wait staff.   They are attentive enough for the most part (acceptable, but not great) but the real disappointment is that they are always quite cold and unfriendly.    Never once have I seen one crack the slightest smile or be pleasant in any way.

  There aren't many good sushi places around St. Charles with good prices, but Sushi Ai is definitely a good choice. It stands out from others because of their bottomless sushi deal - dinner is $19.99 for as much sushi you want to order, while lunch is $12.99 for the same deal (with less options). The only catch is that each person there must get the bottomless deal if they plan to have unlimited sushi. If you are caught sharing or don't end up eating everything you ordered, you will be charged for each roll at regular menu price. So go in with a plan of how much you'll eat!
  
  I am definitely one to order roll after roll after roll and at any other sushi place, and that adds up. I've spent $80+ on just sushi and nigiri at other places, so a flat $20 price at Sushi Ai is amazing!
  
  The employees there are all very friendly as well and the atmosphere there is good for what you'd find at an average-priced sushi place.
  
  Having eaten at many other sushi restaurants, their sushi definitely competes with any of the other more expensive places in regards to taste. As for how "exotic" the rolls can be, they are all basic (but very good) rolls. You won't find anything like octopus or squid in their rolls, but they do have octopus and squid nigiri (which is included in the bottomless sushi deal)!
  
  Overall, a great place to go to - especially for people who are trying out sushi for the first time.

  I must confess that, for a three star restaurant, I go here multiple times a year. But here's the thing: I'm too broke to afford real sushi. The AYCE lunch scratches that sushi itch for a reasonable price. The dinner offers a wider array of options, but my wife doesn't eat sushi, and I'm only ever on my own at lunchtime.
  
  It's been my experience that the Dorsett Rd location is slightly better than this one. The miso soup and green tea are never hot enough at Bogey Hills Sushi Ai.
  
  Everything tastes kind of the same, the texture of the fish is a little "plastic-y:" kind of compressed and overly firm. I've never gotten sick here, which I don't say in a snarky way. Raw fish, in a land-locked state, hundreds of miles in any direction from an ocean, and then AYCE on top of it, that would seem to be a recipe for gastrointestinal disaster. But it's never caused me any problems. For this reason alone, I award it a third star.
  
  If you're broke like me, and are occasionally stricken with the desire to dunk plugs of rice (and other nondescript, largely unidentifiable Ingredients) into a soy sauce and horseradish puddle and consume same, this is an option.

  Love this location. Not all Sushi Ai's are created equal. This is the best one around! We had a 20 minute wait and the hostess gave us a free salad because she said the wait was too long. Which is wild because I've waited way longer for a free piece of trash! So that was crazy.
  
  Once we got sat we ordered and the food came out quick and our waitress was awesome. We got the all you can eat sushi and it's great sushi for the 19.99 price!

  The restaurant doesn't deserve a 4-star rating. The food are ok. Fish are fresh but meat quality is below average. There is a server and her name is Morgan, think she's newer and hasn't figured out all her stuff but, she has a very good attitude. She goes to question anything she isn't sure and always comes back with an answer. Her service is attentive like dining at a 6-star restaurant. Wish her successes in her learning.
