A Japanese Restaurant should have good moist rice. That's just Rule #1. At this visit, the rice was dry. Like it was yesterday's rice. Dry rice affects the sushi, the bento box, maki - you can't not have good rice at a Japanese Restaurant. That's just super disappointing. The Tempura was decent, but could be lighter on the batter.I live in Newton, I so would love a good Japanese Restaurant. I hope the owner reads this and make improvement because I'd love to come back, it's close to my house. I don't think it's hard to make good rice.

The sushi deluxe platter had a lot of variety, but I wish the sushi were more flavorful. The eel was decent, but the salmon, tuna, hamachi should have been a bit fresher with more flavor. The mackerel actually had a bit of fishiness flavor to it.The scallop hotate hokkaiyaki, a baked scallop dish with mushrooms and mayo, was actually quite nicely flavored and roasted; this was likely the best dish consumed this evening.The seafood udon noodle had some issues; the broth was both a bit too salty and sweet, with an odd aftertaste; the seafood bits were a bit small, though they were generous with their baby shrimp and bay scallops.The agedashi (fried) tofu was also a bit small, with none of the flakiness and crunchiness that one typically finds in this dish.

Haven't been here in a few years. Was happy to see that their quality and service was still on point. Sashimi was very fresh. We also got 2 spicy salmon handrolls (forgot to take a pic until we got to our last bite) - big full pieces of salmon and not the grind up one like some places). The pork katsu had the perfect amount of crunch and not overly oily. The meat inside was not hard or dried. Ikura was fresh but also a bit sweet compared to others. We had wanted the Hamachi kama, but they were out so we got the Hotate Hokkaiyaki. This was done very differently compared to other places. It wasn't bad but not something I would get here again.

When in the east coast Aji Sushi Abt Newton , BostonGotta have some good uni and salmon roe. Chunks of goodies at a fairly reasonable price. Pretty fresh tooCraved sushi and got some take out with friends. It took just 15mins from calling to pickup. Got the Sushi Deluxe for $20, comes with a miso soup and salad. Also ordered uni, tobiko, and salmon roe as extras. I liked the deluxe set that came with a California roll + salmon, Hamachi, tuna, unagi (eel), shrimp.You can see they're quite generous with their portions too@midwestmunching for more on Instagram

My family's GO TO sushi spot for call ahead-take out, AND I've also had some great dining experiences inside as well. From the simpler sushi rolls that my dad likes, to the more out-there types that I enjoy, this sushi restaurant is awesome and never disappoints. Staff is very kind and efficient - highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner, or anytime you're craving a sushi night :)

Welcome to the wonderful world of shrinkflation! This place used to be better. Still affordable compared to other places but the pieces of fish are teeny. Went last weekend, there was barely a fleck of fish in any of our rolls and the sahimi and nigiri portions were sooooo small. Sad. Quality fine, staff was super nice. Would rather they raise prices significantly and serve bigger portions. As it stands you're basically paying for rice.

One of my friends, who is a travel and food writer who lives locally -this is his favorite spot for sushi. I go there now and then --we just did takeout from there a couple of days ago so I can't comment extensively on the menu, but it's always a solid choice. Customer service is professional and friendly. This time we got steamed shrimp, shumai, and steamed vegetable Gyoza, both of which were fresh and tender and wonderful-highly recommend Aji!

Sushi is very good. Other Japanese dishes are okay (stir fried noodles, tempura, miso soup). Easy place to bring young kids.

Aji rocks! Their sushi is fresh and inventive. Their cooked food is also wonderful. And their prices are reasonable and definitely worth it. They refreshed their interior and it's bright and inviting. The wait staff are always professional and attentive. This is not some corporate franchise but a true gem. If you are in the area, this place is must visit.
