Haven't tasted their food, but if their calling game is as strong as their dedication to Stewart's order, I'm in for a treat – or at least a persistent dinner invitation!

Delicious "Alligator Roll" and "Handrolls." The Japanese chefs are top-notch. Would have liked to hear some native Japanese, but these guys are pros and aren't there to socialize.

We were the only ones in here, so it was quite quaint. Food was about average for a Japanese place in Boston.

What can I say… we drive to this place from Cambridge and the service is just at the top! Those girl’s waiters are just fantastic. Efficient, kind and very very fast! The food is just amazing. They cook everything in a minutes. They truly respect your time and everything you ask for is right there with a smile and welcoming faces! Great family place! We love this place a lot!

Delicious food with a nice ambiance! The tempura was excellent and I enjoyed a very nice cabernet sauvgnon.

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.

Ordered takeout and got the golden fish maki and phoenix maki and really hit the spot, esp on a Friday evening after a long work week. Melts in your mouth and ready quickly! Will order again for sure and highly recommend.

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.

Good quality, although they trimmed the portions of fish.

Aji is, hands down, the best sushi place in the Boston area. Their ingredients are always super fresh and their food is absolutely delicious. Everything we’ve tried has been amazing. Their staff is welcoming, friendly, positive, and always so nice. If you want sushi, or any Japanese cuisine, this is by far the best place to go!
