One look at the menu made clear that this was less of an authentic Japanese place and more of a Dennys dabbing into Asian food. Party of four, lots of different dishes and drinks. Starters were fine; Edamame was on point but tempura was just too bland. Cocktails were topped with ice, very little substance, and, no unfiltered sake on a Friday night? Entrees were mostly bad. Fish and chips with soggy, bland fries attempting to pass as togarashi just because someone sprinkled spicy seasoning unevenly on top. Kalbi tacos? More like dry-ass, three-day-old deli roast beef tacos. No matter how much salad greens (aka "kimchi slaw") and dressing you put on them, you still feel the dry, sandpapery feel in you palate. Someone order a sushi roll and she liked it. Another order spicy chicken ramen and it was ok- expect for the nasty, burned-plastic flavor of the chicken tainting the whole dish. Based such high reviews, I'm guessing the menu makes sense because of the location.

WE went to Aji tonight. I have to give the restaurant high marks for getting a table ready for us and it was busy. The hostess was awesome. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. But the food was terrible at best. I had veggie donburi. The vegetables were mush and what looked like had been cooked for 3 days..in fact you couldn't even tell what vegetable it was. Rice was all stuck and glued together and no sauce or flavor. My partners sushi roll was mediocre at best with no bowl given for soy sauce. When our food came out, a few wait people brought it out and proceed to just call out the dish and we as customers had to raise our hands like a diner. Why do we all pay so much to get such little. Find another place if you want decent food. Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

I love that we stumbled into this place, without reservations, and it was surprisingly good! We were on our way to Red Hawk Casino and wanted to grab dinner on the way because I don't like the food at Red Hawk. Aji Japanese Bistro is near Higway 50 situated in the El Dorado Hills Town Center. It was Saturday night and the place was busy with great weekend vibes. We were lucky that a table had just left and we were seated shortly. The menu is an interesting mix of Japanese fusions and street foods. Since this was our first time, we stick with the basic. We got two rolls: Angry Tuna Maki - spicy tuna, maguro, cucumber, siracha and togarashi and Rainbow Maki - tempura shrimp, spicy tuna, crab mix, hamachi, sake, ebi, and maguro. Hmm....I noticed most of the rolls had tuna in it. They were both good and fresh, but not memorable. The 7 pc sashimi (Chef's choice) was fresh and good size but lacking presentation. It was 7 pieces of fish on a plain white plate. It was odd! We end the dinner with the best dish of the evening - Tonkotsu Ramen! The broth was flavorsome and filled with all the good toppings like tempura shrimp, char siu, perfectly cooked egg, etc. I would come back just for the ramen. Yeah, it was that good! The restaurant had a nice wide bar. Small booth lined one wall. Big outdoor area with patio heaters. This place is much bigger than I expect. Excellent service! It was a busy night and understandably the kitchen is a backed up. Our server checked on us a few times, informed us about the delay and offered her apologies.
