" An interesting twist on a Japanese dining experience! The restaurant's setting was vibrant and the foods were quite authentic. I enjoyed the ramen but felt it lacked some depth in flavor. The service was friendly but a bit slow at times. Overall, I would recommend Ajito for a unique outing! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard about Ajito for ages, and I’m so glad I finally went. The entire experience was fun, especially the secret entry. The food is highly regarded, and the freshness definitely shows in every dish. The service could improve slightly, but I still enjoyed my visit and will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" An amazing experience! The entrance through the Coke machine added a fun twist to our night out. We ordered a variety of dishes and each one was better than the last. The quality of the sushi was top-notch and the presentation was beautiful. Service could have been a bit faster, but overall a fantastic night. Would highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an incredible find! Ajito has this wonderful hidden vibe with some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. The flavors were rich, and every dish was exceptional. Even the drinks were interesting! Service was quick but could be a bit friendlier. Still, it’s a place I look forward to revisiting. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Ajito! The food was phenomenal, especially the miso black cod and tuna tartare. The staff was very attentive and helped us navigate the menu since it was our first visit. The only downside was the loud environment, but it added a fun energy to the place. I can’t wait to go back again and try more dishes! " (*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*)
