    The food, the space and the talented chefs made Aji such a great experience for us. I’m so glad I chose here for my boyfriend’s birthday. It’s a small and intimate space just for the people that reserved the seating time (about 10 people). The chefs and owner all chat with everyone throughout the service making the environment fun and friendly. The sushi was absolutely amazing. Every piece was so pretty and well thought out. I found myself doing a little happy dance in my chair after each course. I will definitely be back!
