Agreat restaurant! Wonderful, tasty, and creative dishes. We've even had delivery to our home. Excellent service. Love the fact that the restaurant takes reservations. Love the paradise roll. Truly paradise! Every time we eat at Aji we are only too happy to have this great restaruant near our home. Always wonderful. Thank you to my daughter's friend Brian for telling us about this place. So glad to have Aji nearby. A great place!!

Even though the restaurant has expanded considerably since first opening, the crowds make it difficult to get a table -- eat at one of the bars - the bartender at the back bar mixes amazing (but expensive) cocktails. The food is wonderful - not sure how anyone thinks Kotobuki is better . . .

By far my favorite sushi restaurant. Kotobuki comes a close second but is blown away by Aji's creative dishes. Though i'd love to see more on my plate for the price i'm paying I never leave hungry. The fish is the freshest i've had and I haven't disliked a roll yet! The decor is modern and the music on the loud side but not worth not trying this great restaurant. Go early as it does get busy and that's when the hostess/seating staff degrades.

The quality of the fish was incredible and our waiter was very attentive. There were so many interesting rolls on the menu, try the one with fried banana- it was amazing! The only negative was the blasting techno music, not my taste but worth enduring.

Service is terrible. I made a reservation for my husband's birthday and when we arrived we were told it would be "a very long wait"...even better, although it was pouring rain with flooding in the street, we were asked to leave and come back later! The food here is good, but after this extremely rude treatment, I will never go back. Kotobuki is just as good.
