I've actually never eaten at the actual restaurant, only ordered take-out, so I don't have a point of view on ambiance or service. I can say that usually around 7pm it's pretty crowded in there and there are people waiting. The sushi itself has always been very fresh, delicious, and well prepared. I've never had anything that did not taste... More

Pretty good sushi place. The place is small, but not tiny. On a Friday night at 6:30/7pm it's packed with families and there was a 20-30 min wait which deterred some people from going in. Some nice vegetarian choices. The shiitake mushroom tempura maki was probably my favorite.

Absolutely unbelievable! There has been a transformation to the sushi world, and it is called Aji. It is unquestionably the best sushi resturant in Newton. I have never had a bad piece of anything while dining at Aji''s. It is reasonable priced, clean, and the staff are most attentive. Never fear, the owners will stroll by just to make sure... More

This restaurant will not dazzle you with its newness or innovation but if you want a solid sushi dinner in a cozy restaurant with efficient, friendly service, this place will check all the boxes. The restaurant was very full the night we were there, definitely what you want to see in a sushi place. Prices were very fair and in... More

My wife and I only eat sushi at Aji. Its affordable, consistently good, and nice atmosphere. The place is always full. I like their house special rolls in particular. My wife loves their spicy avocado salad - its actually spoiled her from ordering this dish at other restaurants.

Our meal was really good. We had a volcano maki, salmon nigiri and tamago nigiri, and chicken katsu. We also had miso soup. Everything was delicious. The service is warm, attentive, and speedy. The atmosphere is cozy, clean and comfortable. Highly recommended!

I travel all over and really use tripadvisor on a regular basis. This Restuarant was spectacular. I asked for the chef to make me a roll of his choice and it was amazing. He told me that the roll was not on the menu. But it should be. Great food Great people Great service Truly recommend this experience. Well done.

I took my family there a few days ago just to test it out. We went around 6:00 and it was totally empty, not a good sign. The waitress handed out the menus and we ordered a few appetizers and some sushi rolls. The appetizers came and were quite delicious and looked somewhat fresh. Around then more customers came around.... More

After years of restaurants rotating in and out of this location, I'm happy to see Aji going strong for so long. Their sushi is outstanding, as is their service. It's not cheap, but not terribly expensive either, and it's good quality. The atmosphere is cozy and I always look forward to a meal at Aji.
