The burger itself was good — well made, good flavor, no real complaints about quality. But at $30, it’s hard not to question the value. When the total comes out to $53 for a burger, one beer, and a $5 tip, it makes you pause. It wasn’t a bad experience, but for a simple meal, I expected a bit more for the price. The atmosphere may lean upscale, but the five-star amenities don’t justify the cost.

Staying in downtown San Jose and really enjoyed the 2 dishes I ordered . Sat at the bar, bartenders were very nice. Fish was fresh and tasty
The moment I sat down, the bartender made the whole place feel welcoming with genuinely friendly service. The menu surprised me in the best way-creative American and Asian fusion dishes that taste just as good as they look. Prices lean a little higher, but the quality absolutely matches what you’re paying for.
The food hits the spot, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it’s a perfect place to bring someone for a casual date or a quick, tasty meal. I’ll definitely be coming...read full review

AJI Bar & Robata is located in the middle of the lobby area of the Signia by Hilton Hotel, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant is surprisingly quiet despite its great food and prime downtown location. The menu features a variety of dishes including beef skewers, salmon skewers, shishito peppers, tempura, fried avocado, wagyu sliders, angus beef skewers, lamp chops, and teriyaki salmon, all cooked to perfection. The food portions are on the smaller side, which is suitable for a drink or snack environment, but the wagyu sliders are especially popular and recommended. The drinks are well made, with colorful presentation, and the lychee martini stands out as a favorite. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing a delightful experience, though service times may be a bit slow. Some dishes like the Sweet Potato could be improved by offering it on the side for dipping. Parking nearby can be challenging and costly. With excellent food, tasty cocktails such as the Rising Sun, and a cozy atmosphere, AJI Bar & Robata is a great spot for a quick drink or meal, especially for those with mid-tier Hilton credit cards.
