WE went to Aji tonight. I have to give the restaurant high marks for getting a table ready for us and it was busy. The hostess was awesome. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. But the food was terrible at best. I had veggie donburi. The vegetables were mush and what looked like had been cooked for 3 days..in fact you couldn't even tell what vegetable it was. Rice was all stuck and glued together and no sauce or flavor. My partners sushi roll was mediocre at best with no bowl given for soy sauce. When our food came out, a few wait people brought it out and proceed to just call out the dish and we as customers had to raise our hands like a diner. Why do we all pay so much to get such little. Find another place if you want decent food.

This place was recommended to us by our winemaker. Drove here from Roseville, and we were NOT disappointed! Sat at the bar with my wife. Gorgeous atmosphere - has the upscale Asian feel with unique modern art and design. Big bar. The dining area is beautiful. Outside seating is available with nice views of the canal and wildlife. The food was delicious and unique. Many options from sushi, sashimi, to ramen and upscale fish dishes. The chef embraces Japanese cuisine with all sorts of flavors. The ramen was bomb! The bar had 4-5 beers on tap - had even Japanese craft imports. What I loved the most was that they use fresh squeezed juice for their craft cocktails - the key for delicious drinks. Crafty gin options were really good. Thr bartender was engaging and motivated. We had an awesome experience. Will visit again 100% ! Highly recommend.Parking: In the town Center. Plenty of parking all aroundKid-friendliness: We asked, were told kids are welcome - will bring ours next time
The bad: When Ordering sushi rolls and the ingredients are listed. You kind of expect all of the ingredients to be On each and every piece of dissushi, roll right, maybe a little bit missing from the ends? Well, our rolls came out with certain ingredients barely on four pieces of the entire sushi roll which was very disappointing.Honestly the worst part with that we had a booth that directly faced the kitchen. The kitchen floor was filthy and we got to watch our server wash their hands 3 times.....which was three times more than the cooking staff there. One cook didn't wash their hands the entire hour we were there and the other cook washed his hands o ly to pick up his cell phone, then directly touch the edge of the knife with his cell phone contaminated hand to what I assume is test the sharpness of the blade. Their cooks clearly didn't take their Servsafe courses seriously.The good: Our server. She was on it, washed her hand frequently and was super, duper awesome. I don't remember her name but she was great.

Been meaning to find good sushi closer to the house and feels like I hit the jackpot with this one! The food is amazing, they have fresh toro come in every Friday so if you want that gotta get there early as they run out pretty quick! Definitely will be my go to spot plus it's only 5 min away from me!

Had reservations for 2 on valentines day. Came in at 5pm and was not busy at all but they were fully booked up for 6pm. Our waitress was super kind and great! I'm pretty picky when it comes to my sushi but every roll we chose met my expectations! ( even though their selection for sushi rolls is a bit small). Definitely would come back again!

Love the atmosphere, food and location, place never disappoints and Hannah took amazing care of us when we let her choose what to order, highly recommend!
Aji is our favorite. Incredible food and drinks. Get the Aji Fin or the Hamachi Jalapeño, no joke, they love rent-free in my head. I think about them way too much.
Excellent menu, great service and fun cocktails! Really enjoyed the Miso Salmon and Baller Single Malt whiskey.

One of the best sushi restaurants I've been to in Sacramento and SF. Hannah, our server was fantastic and kept the rolls coming with no delay. Definitely a new favorite

Best Japanese restaurant in EDH. Met here for dinner with friends this week and had a blast. Great drinks and delicious food. We especially enjoyed the oysters, shishito peppers, and kalbi tacos. Our waitress, Hannah, was friendly and incredibly attentive. She had great recommendations and really took care of us. Will definitely come back
