Popped in post hockey for some delicious sushi. The staff was really friendly and served us quickly and efficiently. We tried a variety of sushi - all of which were delicious. The rolls were tasty and constructed nicely. Highly recommend

The fish was so smooth and buttery. All of the tuna was fantastic and the toro was perfectly seared.

Everyone is saying that this place is fairly priced. My opinion is that it's pricey. I spent $180 dollars between me and my companion because honestly It was delicious. I find that sushi is not usually great outside of the West Coast but I was not disappointed about my experience at sushi Aji. I'm a huge nigiri fan and that is probably not the way to go to get the bang for your buck as it's priced very high. There are other specials though and everything was quality even the rice which is really important. The ambiance is clean and pleasant enough. The service is normal, the chefs nice. We didn't really have a chance to connect with them but it's ok. I would certainly go back but maybe try to find some hidden combo/specials or try the bentos everyone is raving about.

10/10 Hidden Gem Absolutely love this sushi place. It’s right by my work so I feel incredibly grateful. They have a wide selection of rolls at affordable prices. It’s honestly the best place I’ve found in terms of price and quality in and outside of the Denver area. I am obsessed with the Dynamite Roll. It is lightly deep fried with eel and cream cheese inside. On top, they drizzle eel and spicy mayo sauce and top it off with tobiko. I also love their lunch specials (pick two or pick three roll options) and their vegetarian rolls. They even have options for people who may really not like sushi or want more options… like the Kobe Beef Roll (it’s awesome and has soy paper). I also have tried their Volcano Roll and it was phenomenal. The service is always great and everyone is so kind every time I go. It is nowhere near WholeFoods or Grocery Store sushi by any means. If you think it is, maybe you just haven’t tried enough sushi to really make that kind of statement (commenting on a previous review) because that is just ridiculous. I’ve truly never had a bad experience here and I’ve eaten at Sushi Den & Uchi Denver for context. This place is outstanding all around.

Been here several times and never had anything I wouldn't happily order again. This is one of my favorite sushi spots in all of Denver

Really liked that this restaurant clearly labels its allergens on the menu, such as gluten free, contains egg, etc. This made it much easier to order sushi without asking a million questions. All of the fish is fresh and delicious. The bento boxes and plates are served with a ton of food. The salmon teriyaki comes with enough salmon to have leftovers. The service is always great here— very attentive. It’s become our go-to place for sushi in the area.

The price is great, the atmosphere is modern and cozy at the same time. The sushi bar was very clean, as was the rest of the restaurant. The staff is very kind and friendly. The food is awesome and has a great presentation. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Got a tempura sweet potato roll with mango and avocado added two nights in a row. So good both times with good fresh ingredients. Also tried the veggie gyoza - also very satisfactory. Thank you!
