Stopped by for a quick lunch. The place is bustling with clients, but the service is quick and the food is awesome. We had some tempura, a sushi lunch box special and teriyaki. The food was so good, I bakery made pictures before it was gone! Nice ambiance, great service and food. Worthy stop for hungry travelers.

I don't really understand how people can give this place below a 5 star. Food is expensive in NYC, to find a place that isn't extremely expensive, but not dirt cheap, and still taste good with fast service, on top of all that, it's sushi, is impressive and satisfying to me. There are A LOT of sushi options, from your typical ordinary roll to creative chef specials that I'd recommend you try. They let their chef experiment, and their customers to experience the experimentation. Would come again, but wouldn't go out of my way entirely because NYC has so many places to try.

The food is very good. I love it because of how fresh and healthy the food looks when it is served. The truth is that it is a good option to eat there. I went in for sushi and ate a hot plate of chicken teriyaki and it was truly an excellent option on a rainy day, accompanied by a very hot and delicious Miso soup.

This place was great I’m definitely coming back to try other items on the menu I rate 8.5 out of 10 it was me and one other person prices are great although this was my first time here I can say it felt so chill and laid back the servers was great food came out quick the veggie dumplings and bow bun are very good must try the drinks was great if you like wine try the honey plum wine we had got here early so it was empty but I’m sure this place gets packed because the food if for sure good I would definitely recommend this place

Sushi here is delicious and nicely priced for the portion sizes. The pancake with the curry sauce was delicious. Paired it with a soju. Waitress was sweet and attentive. They also have lunch specials! If you are a sushi lover, I would visit. Going to come again!

I’ve been here several times and I’ve always had a great experience. The staff is very friendly and the food is consistently good. I once came before they opened by accident for takeout and they were nice and took my order anyway.

Very friendly service, especially by bartender Tapiwa. Ask for his "clouds of Tokyo" drink, and tell him not to make it too sweet. Great service. Presentation of sushi great. Very fresh. Try salmon dumpling. No complaints. I m not sure why I didn't give it 5. Maybe it needs to be even more exotic. I've visited twice in one week. Give this one a try, for sure.

I would love to leave this review for a wonderful waiter Tapio. I have been dining at Ajisai for a few years now. The service and food is always exceptional but the gentleman named Tapio is the nicest and has the kindest smile. Very polite and welcoming, very sincere person. I would recommend Ajisai to my friends because the food and service is always so great.
