AJITEN Princeton is a renowned restaurant that offers authentic Japanese cuisine, including fresh sushi and comforting dishes. The restaurant is known for its high-quality sushi, featuring perfectly prepared sushi rice and delicious miso soup. The Chirashi Bowl, a favorite on the menu, is a popular choice among diners.
While the prices may be on the higher side, with around $8 per piece of salmon nigiri, the restaurant is considered the best for Japanese cuisine in Princeton. The cozy and welcoming atmosphere, coupled with the kind and accommodating staff, make it an ideal spot for special occasions or dinner with friends.
Located in a basement, the restaurant has a "hole in the wall" vibe, with no cell service, adding to its unique charm. Customers can pair their meals with fresh green tea or sake, further enhancing the authentic Japanese dining experience.
Recent reviews praise the restaurant's prompt and knowledgeable service, as well as the eye-catching and delicious sushi. The restaurant has also regained its reputation for serving the best sushi in Princeton, after a brief period of change in ownership. Customers have noted the high-quality fish and the tasty miso soup and pickled vegetables, with the pickled radish being a standout.
