I have no complaints. The atmosphere was very gorgeous. This was my first time and the food tasted great! Some of the best sushi and salmon I’ve had out! The waiter was very nice and present. His recommendations were on point (thank you Caleb). He asked what we liked, we said fruity drinks and he delivered just that with “purple haze”. I will definitely be coming back!

Had a lovely new years eve dinner. Staff was friendly and restaurant was relatively quiet. Food was delicious with lots of different options I haven't normally seen on menus before. Decor was beautiful and really fit the theme. Also loved the radio/soundtrack with chill dance music.

I love this place! I love the people, the food and atmosphere! I moved close by about 9 years ago and this is my go-to sushi hibachi and ramen restaurant! If you like sushi, you need to try the summer blossom and the black and pink roll. If you like cooked rolls the Yellow Submarine is the best, YUM!

Caleb was a server he was super nice and recommended the Lychee Martini it was great. The atmosphere was relaxing and the whole place looks amazing. If you have date I would definitely recommend coming here. We had Gyoza for appetizer, and then for entree we had Kimchi Ramen, and sushi we had Volcano sushi, Shrimp tempura and Dragon roll.

I've been coming here for more than 6 years and the food has never disappointed. Quality of sushi here is fresh and is usually fresh every visit. Service depends on the time and day you're coming because of their busy hours, but recently it's overall gotten faster. Atmosphere is relaxing and perfect for family or couple dinners. It's different from other restaurants I've been in but the whole place feels like a fancy lounge. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone, even their other dishes(not sushi) are amazing.

I had an incredible experience at Aja! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The service was outstanding—attentive without being overbearing. As for the food, it was absolutely top-notch. The sushi was a perfect blend of flavors, and the lamb was cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. The portion sizes were generous, and everything was so fresh. I also really appreciated the wide variety of options on the menu, from classic favorites to unique, flavorful twists. This is definitely my new go-to spot for Chinese food, and I can’t wait to return! Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic, delicious Chinese cuisine!

This place is open very late even on weekday so it’s a great spot for dinner if you’re out late. The seating is nice and they have a lot of food options. Sushi is great and filling and their drinks are nice.

Wonderful restaurant and great service! We visited 3/23 dine in with family. Nice ambiance, koi pond, and everything tastes delicious. General tso's chicken, basil chicken, drunken noodle, hibachi style, sushi, spring rolls, tempura are all delicious. They have good cocktails and mocktails too. Our favorite local Asian restaurant! We've also ordered delivery many times too. Looking forward to returning!
