One of the top 3 meals of my entire life. I can’t express how much I appreciate the attention to detail in every aspect of the dining experience. Service, decor, food, drink, conversation… all of it! Rotating menu and fantastic cocktails, sake and wine list. See some photos here of my faves - mackerel, crab, toro, sake, dessert. Do not hesitate to go here. Chefs Kristian and Arnold are phenomenal and I wish them great success! UPDATE: came here again for an 18-course meal and it was just as good as the first time. Service is always ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly highly recommend and will continue to!

I did a lot of research ahead of time on finding an omakase spot and gave Aji a shot as it seemed approachable, but good. I've had a few omakase dinners before and this is one of the best ones I've had. It was fun, comfortable, and above all, delicious. The seats were super comfy and the chef and owner made it a great night. The sake list was easy to understand, thoughtful, and all of them were tasty and complemented the food. The sushi itself was incredible. The rice was perfectly seasoned and cooked, fresh wasabi root as expected, and the fish as fresh as ever. Served at the proper temperature too. I like that it was fairly traditional but with minor additions like lemon zest or hibiscus salt that really made the flavors of the nigiri pop and give it a unique taste. Highly recommend Aji, I'll definitely be back!
