    Great sushi specials (buy one get one specialty rolls). Volcano roll tasted a bit fishier than I was expecting, but otherwise yummy and large portion! Wonton soup was a bit smaller than I was expecting but the wontons were well cooked and hearty!

    hanks for letting us know How can we improve your next order? The more specific the feedback, the better. Feedback Sent 11/4/2025 Unhappy customer I dropped my kids off for a halloween event so I decided to try the food. I ordered for pick up the food had no flavor what so ever. Beef nekamaki fell apart. Teriyaki sauce was thin like water. When I picked up my kids they said the young girl waitress was rude to them told them they couldn't sit at the table cause they were from party even though they explained they wanted to order dinner. Had 2 friends wanna join them and waitress told them they couldn't sit with them. Mind u there food bill was $10 they never got her name but she was so mean to them. Only 1 bartender which did not know how to make a drink. Atleast 300 ppl. Would never go back.

    I went to the Aja Lounge for a social event being hosted there and was very excited to enjoy it with my girlfriend and sister. After we got a table some friends who were also a part of the event came to say hi and the waitress came out of left field and told us that basically anyone else from the event could not participate in their dine in experience which was insane since we were willing to pay full price for meals and drinks etc. After that incident we ordered our food my girlfriend and sister both got chicken Hibachi and were very disappointed. The flavor was lacking and the soup that was supposed to come with meals never came. This restaurant had extremely high prices for low quality meals. Almost $150 for meals that tasted similar to grocery store hot bar food. I do not recommend this restaurant to eat at but any events hosted there have potential to be good even though they only had 1 bartender for the whole event.

    READ BEFORE YOU GO THERE!!!!!!! Super bad customer service the waiter that’s the daughter of the owner is filming people with no reason . The food is not fresh and there is a very bad taste in the food . We tried a lot of different things and all of them was so bad that we left everything on the table without even touching. The sushi salmon left with his skin sticking out Never will go back there again .

    Visiting New Brunswick for Rutgers' Homecoming weekend. Went to Aja Asian post tailgate. Convenient location right on route 1, free parking lot, spacious interior, clean bathrooms. Service spotty, despite our being there had been scheduled weeks before, maybe due to large crowd. Food only so-so. Only vegan options were spring rolls, which tasted store bought, not house made; and veggie fried rice - bland with very few veggies, yet priced as an entree, not a side dish. Mango margarita offered as drink special for the evening. Tasted like a mix. Note to self: don't order margaritas in an Asian restaurant/bar.
