“I’ve eaten here with my family about 4-5 times now and the food is always perfect!! Gyu don, chicken katsu don, karaage are all so delicious and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere, service, and music are S tier. This is one of the best Japanese restaurants in Brooklyn in my option.“

“We were seated immediately on a Sunday for brunch around 130p. Food took a little while, but was beautifully presented. Ordered both the black sesame french toast and the ube pancakes. The flavors were extremely subtle. Would have liked more black sesame flavor and stronger ube flavor. The combination of the fruit toppings on both the dishes may have overwhelmed the black sesame and the ube flavors.
Overall, good service.“

“This is a review specifically about the Ikura don. I love ikura so was super happy to see that they have ikura don on the menu! I also got the chirashi don, which was great. But as for the ikura... why is it so sweet? The ikura is marinated in a very SWEET sauce.... that I could hardly taste the special taste of the ikura itself. I just wanted to let the management know that that marinade sauce for the ikura is WAY too sweet!! Please highlight the taste of the ikura itself. 🙏🙏🙏“

“Very nice setting, cool bar! It gets a bit noisy inside, though. Addictive cabbage was good! Kaarage chicken was okay, the coating had too much seasoning on it for our taste. The wagyu beef dish as the star of the show. Sadly they were out of chocolate cake. Nice spot, friendly service, great menu!“

“This place is our go to spot for family dinner night. Xavier is such a wonderful server who has been treating us like family for years. My little one, who is normally so shy, always lights up when she sees him. They had a floor manager who was there for years who was always so kind, incredibly considerate and welcoming. The food is wonderful, but the service really shines, they’ve been doing a lot of staffing changes recently so hopefully the quality of service remains“

Our waitress was the sweetest and answered any questions/concerns that we had. I got the hamachi don and my sister got the katsu. Both were delicious and the portions are filling! I will definitely come back.“

“Cute space and you can tell they care about the food that comes out. Everything smells great and beautiful plating. In talking with the team it’s nice to hear it’s becoming more farm to table - you can definitely taste the difference from other places in the area. Loved the heirloom tomatoes dish- definitely feels like summer in a dish with the pink tangerines! (Pictured ) they also have a cool looking bar hidden in the back that was packed. Would highly recommend if you’re in the area - worth the visit 🙌🏼“

“Okay, I just got back from Ajimi and I had to immediately write a review because this place is fantastic. Seriously, every single thing we ordered was great.
The highlight for me was hands down the Ajimi Kuro ramen. I could eat that stuff every day. It was just perfectly savory and delicious. If you go, you HAVE to get it.
What really blew me away, though, was the value. The food was exceptional, and the portions were actually really good. I was expecting less given the price, and other reviews so that was a huge plus. We definitely left full and happy!
And finally, the service was on point. Our server was attentive and great, checking in on us when we needed something but never hovering. It was that perfect balance where you actually get to enjoy your meal without constant interruptions.
Bottom line: If you're looking for fantastic ramen and great Japanese food that won't empty your wallet, go to Ajimi. You won't regret it!“
