The food and the service are amazing! However, the atmosphere is a little echoey, and the servings are really small! Three of us walked out without even being all the way full for $180+

Fun atmosphere. A little understaffed when I was there. Maybe I was between shifts. My poke was minimal at best. Not terrible though.

The food is delicious. It's a very good fusion food, but I think some of them don't want to serve Asian people. This is my second time here. The first time I thought it was okay, so I came back a second time because the food was delicious.

What a great Friday night out on a relaxing patio for cocktails and Happy Hour! Don't be surprised like me when a train rolls through the neighborhood! I jumped a bit and had a good laugh.

Let me begin by saying that dining at Aji Tram in Lake Oswego is not a meal—it’s a pilgrimage. A spiritual awakening. A culinary opera performed on a wok-shaped stage, where soy sauce sings soprano and ginger tap dances across your tongue. If you haven’t been, cancel your dentist appointment, reschedule your wedding, and get thee to Aji Tram.
The Wings of Glory The wings. Oh, the wings. These are not mere poultry appendages. They are phoenix feathers dipped in ambrosia and flash-fried by Zeus himself. Each bite is a thunderclap of flavor—crispy, sticky, spicy, sweet, tangy, and somehow emotionally healing. I wept openly after the third wing. A server approached with a tissue and whispered, “We understand.” I felt seen.
The Calamari of Humility Now, let us address the calamari. Tiny. Minuscule. Lilliputian. These morsels are so small, I’m convinced they were harvested from a secret society of bonsai squid. But do not mistake their size for weakness. Each bite is a concentrated burst of oceanic poetry. It’s as if Poseidon himself bottled the essence of the sea and injected it into these bite-sized miracles. I ate twelve and still felt like I was nibbling on the concept of calamari rather than the actual creature. It’s postmodern. It’s brilliant.
Fusion or Fever Dream? The menu is a fever dream of pan-Asian ambition. Thai basil meets Korean gochujang in a forbidden romance. Vietnamese lemongrass flirts shamelessly with Japanese miso. The result? Dishes that defy geography and logic. I ordered something called “Tram Fire Noodles” and briefly lost consciousness. When I awoke, I had a new tattoo and a deeper understanding of my childhood trauma.
Drinks That Challenge Reality The cocktails are liquid riddles. I sipped a lychee martini that tasted like a haiku written by a drunk samurai. The bartender, who may or may not be a retired philosopher, told me the drink was inspired by “the fleeting nature of joy.” I nodded solemnly and ordered three more.
Ambiance: Zen Meets Chaos The décor is a masterclass in contradiction. Bamboo plants whisper serenity while neon dragons scream “PARTY!” The music oscillates between Tibetan throat singing and K-pop remixes of Celine Dion. I felt both relaxed and ready to fight a tiger. The lighting is dim enough to make you feel mysterious but bright enough to read the menu and question your life choices.
Service Fit for Emperors and Existentialists The staff glide—not walk—across the floor. They anticipate your needs before you know them. I thought about asking for extra napkins, and one appeared. I considered ordering dessert, and a server whispered, “The mango sticky rice is calling to you.” I didn’t even speak. They just knew.
Final Verdict Aji Tram is not just a restaurant. It’s a portal. A vortex of flavor and philosophy. The wings will elevate you. The calamari will humble you. The fusion will confuse and enlighten you. Five stars is not enough. I give it five stars, a standing ovation, and a slow clap that echoes through eternity.
Now, do you want me to write a haiku about those wings? Because I will.
Consistently delicious food and great drinks. I love seeing what’s on the rotating seasonal specials, and the cocktails are always on-trend and creative. It’s fun that the vibe is a mix—we can come for a date night or with family of all ages, or just pop in and sit at the bar and watch a game solo. Our favorites are the Brussels sprouts and the Bao buns!

Bibimbap hit the spot! A little salty, but still delicious. Rosalin’s friendly and attentive service made the meal even better.
Aji Team is a family favorite. The owners are deeply concerned with all the details of the space and food. It's our go-to spot and just down the street. We feel lucky to have them so close.
Kids love the chicken and noodles, edamame and green beans as well so we can get some decent food in them vs the hot dogs and burgers they order elsewhere.
Great touch on exit that they have single use flosser vs a toothpick. First time I've seen that and it's a brilliant move.
