The worst Japanese food I’ve ever had in the US. The service was ridiculous. The food itself was disappointing. Portions were tiny — everyone left still hungry after the meal. The prices are high for such low quality and small servings. Save your money and go literally anywhere else — this place is not worth it.

Loved the place. Amazing food and ambiance of a proper Japanese restaurant, Totally worth the price of admission. Sushi was fresh and the Ramen broth was mouth watering. Definitely going back multiple times to try their whole menu:)

Do not waste your money. I ordered a pork cutlet with curry and I had a chance to pass thru the kitchen to use a restroom. I could not believe what I saw in the kitchen. It was really measy, dirty, smelly; I felt I was in a monster’s nest. I also saw some bugs crawling on the wall. I could not finish my dish. It was really disgusting.

The food was really good, especially for the price! The music was also quite nice (acoustic versions of pop songs). Overall great atmosphere and food.

Really good food, fresh sashimi and good noodles, even though service is not the best would come again.
Please stop and read this before you eat at Ajiten Sushi in Princeton. My family has been a regular customer (both take out and in restaurant) of this restaurant for over a decade. As part of a recent take out, we were given some bad sushi. I called immediately and informed them of this problem. The next time we ordered, we asked for a credit for the spoiled item from our last takeout. They flat out and rudely refused. We were told they never issue credits for “alleged” quality issues. The chef flat out refuses to do so believing he never has issues. If you read many of the other reviews you will see a pattern of shabby rude service and questionable food quality. This is a place that is likely to go out of business. Businesses generally don’t survive if they don’t stand behind their products. As a result of this treatment, we decided to try another Princeton sushi restaurant and found it to be bright, fresh and yummy with much better service. We will not frequent Ajiten Sushi again.

I called ahead of time to reserve and the woman didn’t want to be bothered to take my name. i dropped off my wife and friend who is recovering from surgery so they would have to walk. After parking the car and walking back to the restaurant I found them standing by the door because the woman wouldn’t let them sit down until the entire party arrived. The restaurant was completely empty except for three people at one table. She finally agreed to let them sit down and I asked her very politely to heat our bottle of sake. She looked at me like I asked her to paint my house. She then proceeded to yell at us for reacting incredulously to her resistance to do her job. Now you know why you don’t need reservations on a night where most restaurants in Princeton are full. I didn’t think any restaurant owner could be more obnoxious than the previous owner (Ajihei) but this woman is a nightmare. I feel bad for the sushi chef because the sushi and sashimi here is really good. We’ll never go back. Usually this woman is busy screwing up take out orders so in the past we were luckier in getting an actual waiter. Luckily we went to Elite Five and had a very nice meal and served by thoughtful professional waitstaff. I’m sure its just a short while until they have alienated the last of their clientele and they will go out of business.
