    Deceived

    The place looks cool from the outside and when you look in. This is very smart of them, because the way the place looks, you would think it was good, and it is not. They have dinky tables in the back, they charge a fortune, you get almost no food, and with the exception of the Fantastic roll, which is what I got, the food the bland and tasteless. Actually tasteless. What kind of food are they serving that has almost no taste?? I couldn't tell what I was eating, because it was so dark in there. Even my roll wasn't that good. The bill for two people was $69 something, plus a $10 tip. That is $80. What a waste of good money. The girl I went with bought a salad, which we shared, and 2 entrees which were disappointing. The million dollar roll and the golden dragon roll were small and bland and absolutely tasteless. I didn't read about this place or the menu items, but I could have gotten some real food someplace good for less. For what I paid I should have gotten a meal, instead I got some shredded crap and some manhandled rice with raw fish scraps in it that don't have any taste, which I would say means it doesn't have any nutrients. I'm still hungry

    Not recommended

    Just ordered from this place-the cost was way too high. Ordered thai spiced lemongrass seafood $19 there were no mussels, no lobster meat, 1 scallop no eggplant or mushrooms-it was also completely tasteless. Ordered cirque de soleil-had no fig glaze or sundried tomatoes plus we ordered it with brown rice-it was white, also tasteless. Feeling hungry and ripped off.

    Poor Customer Service

    My few friends and i went to Aja for drinks after work. if you order food with drinks before 6:30PM, you get 25% off your whole purchase. When our bill came and credit cards were run, the bartender "forgot" to add the 25% off which would have deducted $50 from our bill. Rather than telling us or voiding the transaction and placing it correctly, he simply said nothing. The next day when my friend and I went to the resturant inquiring about what happened with the discount, the manager said that happens alot and they would have to see if anything could be done. If you want your money taken, go to Aja. The drinks were good, but dishonesty and false advertising is unacceptable.

    A Must Miss - Can't imagine how they stay in business

    This restaurant is mediocre at best. There are so many better spots in the area to go to that I can't imagine anyone wanting to eat here. Furthermore the service is poor. My teenage daughters have gone there on my credit card twice and each time the restaurant intimidates them to leave a large tip, adds charges on the menu and other really nasty things. I have complained numerous times to the manager who rather than apologizing suggested that it was correct to do this because 16 year old girls don't leave big enough tips. Very nice of them to make such a pre-judgement. I highly recommend people take their business elsewhere. There is really not one good thing I can say about the place. Fuscha is right across the street with almost the same food so I would eat there instead.

    Very Mediocre

    I have tried the sushi and the regular entrees a few times, hoping it would be good, but the food is really not that great, especially for the price. Won't be eating here again.

    Rushed Us Out

    I went here for dinner a few months ago on a Saturday night, hoping for a nice enjoyable dinner as my evening entertainment. We ordered appetizers, sushi and then entrees. We dranks throughout the meal. We attempted to stretch the dinner to a 2-hr-ish typical Saturday night dinner, but despite any attempts, were out of there within ONE HOUR! The food was good, but the second we put our forks down, our plates were gone, and our next course was waiting for us. I wanted this dinner to feel like a night out, otherwise, I would grab a slice of pizza instead of spending $60/person on dinner. There IS such a thing as too attentive a server.
