    What an incredible experience! Aji recently catered an event for us in our office. They took care of every detail from set-up to clean-up. The guests were completely impressed with the presentation and of course the amazing food. Very impressive from start to finish. Thank you!

    Beautiful view of the fountain and delicious food. We ordered rolls, ramen and miso soup, everything was perfect, especially fast service (about 10 min☺️). A cozy place looks like somewhere in Italy, quiet street, sidewalk and nice patio. My kids were playing in front of me and let me enjoy the lunch

    Came at the recommendation of a friend. Lounge seating outdoors was perfect for us w a toddler. Love the water view. It was pretty busy at 6pm on a Wednesday! Happy Hour was sooooo valuable. For 2 adults and a toddler, we got kids chicken ramen, kalbi fries, ribs, and cashew prawns. OMG we were so filled. We could’ve ordered one less item. Great value and quantity!

    We moved to the area earlier this year & haven’t really explored all the restaurants just yet but came upon this after my wife gave birth & wanted her sushi fix after a long 9 months. We were seated right away on a Friday evening and the place was packed & vibe was amazing. Staff was super friendly & gave awesome recommendations on popular items from the menu. We loved every single item we ordered and they all tasted amazing. We sat indoor and they had beautiful decor all around. Hope we are able to get seating outdoor next time! Will definitely be back again to try out more of the menu!

    Can't even express how much I love this place - fresh, delicious, creative twists on classic Japanese dishes, plus a few surprises. The mango eggplant appetizer is a fave, but you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. And the cheesecake is GREAT. 😀

    Got the big bbq meal. It was decent. Overall pretty salty but the teriyaki steak was really good. I would probably just get the teriyaki steak over everything else next time.

    Aji Japanese Bistro was epically good! Not cheap, but great value. I'm a celiac (no gluten). They were knowledgeable, accommodating and had a special menu. It was somewhat limited, but extremely delicious. The cuts of fish were amazing. The spicy tuna roll (forget name) was so great. The chefs sashimi cuts were top notch. The salmon was so nice - cooked perfectly, crispy on the bottom, and well seasoned. I didn't try the beef sukiyaki, but it looked amazing and was described as being delicious. I'd highly recommend. A+++.

    It's a great place for Japanese food (they also have burgers!). The sake is good, the sushi rolls are great, and the lunch specials are filling. I had mixed tempura with California rolls. Mrs G had the salmon salad.

    Great sushi and street food dishes! Service (5/5): service minded staff that took there time! Food (4/5): great food with good palette of flavours. Atmosphere (3/5): Good. Nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, decently worth a visit and if I would have lived near by I would defiantly become a regular.

    Got the Tonkotsu. The noodles were clumped together, the meat was tough and chewy, and the egg was very overcooked. Probably want to avoid the ramen at Aji.

  • 5/5 Jonathan M. 2 years ago on Google
    I had Spicy Chicken ramen and some fries as a side. The noodles from the ramen were so flavorful and I liked the texture. The water was spicy, in a very good way, and the rest of the ingredients complimented each other nicely. I really liked the layout and design of the restaurant as well.

    great service, food and atmosphere. Bibimbap & peach cheese cake. Yummo! Update: February 28 2020 Came in for celebratory beverage and grilled shishito peppers. The Smoked Old fashion arrived 15 minutes after my shishito peppers which trailed the waiter with water by 8 minutes. I was seated 8 minutes before I was approached by the server. So service is now very slow and seems to be on the shoulders of the bartenders. The shishito peppers timing was reasonable but the time to take my order was lacking. Food and beverage was as expected. Update: May 2022 My wife an I came in and had a great meal. The service was outstanding sitting at the bar. People have good and bad days and because of the many times I have had a wonderful experience I have concluded the one time I did not may have been someones bad day.

    Always enjoyed this establishment. Slightly overpriced; however excellent food if you know what to order. This is not an isakaya. This is boutique Japanese in a pleasant chic setting. Beware of certain wait staff - lately they will recommend the most expensive items rather than listen to the customer. My request for a chilled house sake became another version three times more expensive.

    Very nice sushi place with a beautiful outdoor seating area, great rolls and non-sushi options and super tasty drinks!

  • 5/5 Jason A. 1 year ago on Google
    Very pleasant and laid back staff. The sushi chef definitely appreciated his work and welcomed the gratitude for his artisanship. Which we gave to him, because it was awesome! They are still working on some of the place, near the bathroom mainly, that said, the place has a very modern/chill/laid back feel. The music wasn't too loud, the food was served at the perfect temperature, it wasn't too dark or too bright. I had a great time! The food was fantastic, the staff was great, what else can you ask for? 20-30$ a head and well worth it! Thanks guys!
