" Ajito is not your average sushi place. The creativity in the menu blew me away! From the decor to the dishes—everything was on point. Our server was helpful and made good recommendations. It did get a bit loud as the night went on, but it's a fun atmosphere. I would definitely come back to experience more of their unique offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally visited Ajito after hearing such fantastic things! The atmosphere is exciting and the food absolutely lives up to the hype. We tried several dishes and ate until we were stuffed. My favorite was the salmon sashimi—so fresh! Service was nice but a bit slow. Happy to have this place nearby! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ajito is a hidden gem! Entering through the secret door piqued my interest even before trying the food. I really enjoyed the carbonara udon, which had a delightful balance of flavors. The only downside was that the portions felt a bit small for the prices, but each dish was skillfully prepared. Overall, a lovely dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just celebrated my birthday at Ajito and it was fabulous! The food is outstanding and unique, which made my day extra special. The staff were warm and welcoming, though they seemed a bit overwhelmed at times. I recommend the hand roll set and the carbonara udon—both were delightful. I'll definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was blown away by the creativity in the dishes served! The blend of modern and traditional Japanese cuisine was delightful. Service could have been better as we waited a while for our drinks, but once the food arrived, all was forgiven. The truffle duck was so good! I would recommend Ajito to anyone looking for a unique dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has so much character! The entrance through the vending machine is just the beginning. The sushi is fresh and well-prepared. I enjoyed the agedashi tofu very much, but felt the service could have been quicker. All said, it’s a unique dining experience I would love to revisit soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ajito is definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a unique dining experience! The speakeasy vibe adds a special touch, and the food is creatively prepared. The black cod was a highlight for me. I liked the atmosphere, but it was a bit noisy while we were there. Overall, a place I would recommend to friends! " (*Curated Review*)
