" A recommended find in Newton! I went to Aji with no expectations, but I ended up loving every bite. The spicy salmon roll was my favorite, while the garlic edamame appetizer was something I never knew I wanted! The ambiance was relaxing too – perfect for unwinding after a hectic day. Will definitely return to try their full menu soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mediocre experience on my last visit. The sushi was decent, but the flavors felt muted, and I expected more robust tastes. The service was friendly, but it took longer than expected for our orders to arrive, which lessened the experience. I might give it another try since I’ve heard good things. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to my meal at Aji after all the positive reviews. I found the service to be friendly, but I felt the food could be more authentic. The rolls tasted good, but some had flavors that seemed a bit adapted for a Western palate. I appreciate the creative combinations, but I wish they'd stick more closely to traditional recipes. Overall, a decent place but not exactly what I hoped for. " (*Curated Review*)

" Aji offers a decent experience, but there were some highlights and lowlights. The sushi was fresh and flavorful for the most part, but I had a roll that was overly soggy, which ruined the texture for me. Their service was commendable; our waiter was attentive and friendly. The restaurant was lively and had a nice vibe, but I think they need consistency in their food execution. I would still come back for their fresh sashimi. " (*Curated Review*)

" Aji is a hidden gem. I've been searching for high-quality sushi for forever and stumbled across this restaurant. Their fish is super fresh, and I felt the sushi rolls were very well-balanced in flavor. I particularly loved the Spicy Tuna Roll and the complimentary miso soup. Nice spot, friendly staff; I will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered from Aji for the first time last night and was pleasantly surprised! The Salmon-Roe was delectable and blending so well with the rice, creating a perfect texture. I did however have a hick up when my delivery took longer than expected, but the quality of food made me forget the wait. Definitely ordering again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally found the perfect sushi spot! The rolls were artfully done, and I truly enjoyed their special rolls. The freshness of the fish was top-notch. I noticed that they are very generous with portions, making it a great value for the quality offered. I will happily return whenever I have sushi cravings! " (*Curated Review*)
