" I’ve often visited ajiten and had great experiences! However, on my last visit, the service dropped. The sushi and ramen remain exceptional and authentic, but we were ignored for a long time. The food was fantastic as always; the flavors were impeccable. I hope they can improve their service, as the cuisine is worth the visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ajiten is an absolute treasure for anyone who loves traditional Japanese cuisine. The sushi is fresh, and each roll has a unique touch to it. I particularly enjoyed their eel roll. Service is a bit inconsistent, but the delightful flavors outweigh the minor inconveniences. It feels like a local gem that's worth visiting. I highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ajiten has a lot to offer, particularly if you are a sushi aficionado. The restaurant provides a very authentic Japanese experience, and the food is quite delicious. I particularly enjoyed their creative rolls. The atmosphere is cozy, but my experience with service was not the best, as I felt rushed even when the restaurant was quiet. I’d like to return to see if my next visit will be better overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is a hidden gem in Princeton for authentic Japanese food. The ramen is mouth-watering, and the sushi is crafted with precision. On a recent visit, I tried their pork katsu curry and it was delightful. The atmosphere is authentic yet cozy. Service staff needs training on customer interaction—there was a long gap before we got our attention. If they can fix the service aspect, this could easily become a five-star spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" When I entered Ajiten, the quaintness of the place was inviting. We ordered several dishes, and I'm glad we did. Each was more delicious than the next! The ramen was rich and full of flavor, and the sushi was expertly prepared. I was taken aback by how fresh the fish tasted. It has a true Japanese vibe, which I appreciated. Service could be tightened up, but for the unforgettable flavors I've gained, I am impressed. Definitely a place for sushi aficionados! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are seeking an unforgettable sushi experience, Ajiten will deliver just that. From the miso soup to the sushi rolls, every bite is full of flavor. The atmosphere is filled with a quaint charm that invites you in. While the service was a little slow, it felt like a familial atmosphere; they were kind despite being stretched thin. The food alone is worth the visit. I strongly encourage anyone to try it! " (*Curated Review*)

" The moment you walk into Ajiten, you can feel the authentic vibe of a Japanese eatery. From the decor to the menu, it resonates with true Japanese culture. I sampled several sushi pieces and they were divine—highlighting meticulous attention to quality and freshness! I would recommend trying their Uni and Sashimi, which were outstanding. Service was fair; it could be friendlier, but the food really steals the show. Perfect for sushi lovers seeking an authentic taste! " (*Curated Review*)
