My favorite Peruvian restaurant in Orlando only down side it's small!! But today when picking up my order it looks like they are expanding. My go to at any Peruvian restaurant is usually lomo saltato but after trying there sushi I'm hooked. The combination of the shrimp & tuna w/ passion fruit & truffle sauce on top.. delicious! So far everything I've had here is very good The restaurant is always clean and inviting. I look forward to coming back soon and see the expansion for a date night with my hubby. read more

I had the Arroz con Pato () dish. It was a HUGE plate of food. If I hadn't been about to leave town I would've definitely had leftovers. Came with great sauce in it and an over easy egg on top. Delicious!! Place inside is smaller but very nice. Cool art on the walls. Server didn't speak English at all (and I don't mean like they're still learning, it was clear no attempt has been made yet) which was a little awkward. When we had simple questions like "what kind of rice is in this dish?" he had to go get the manager lol. Small hiccup though, overall a good meal read more

I was in the mood for ceviche and this place hit the spot! The place on the outside looked like a little hole in the wall local restaurant. I was impressed by their large menu of different items from ceviche, tacos, to sushi rolls. They give you complimentary toasted corn to munch on while you're looking over the menu. The ceviche was nice and refreshing with fresh fish! Highly recommend. Service was pretty quick too. Music was loud so expect to talk loud. read more

Unfortunately I have to revise my initial review. We have been loyal customers since this place opened but tonight a staff member was completely rude, disrespectful, lacked professionalism, lacked customer service, and soiled their name in the community. We took family from out of the country there and spending a lot of money this evening to be met with a lack of etiquette and decorum in serving their customers. Yelling and speaking down to our family member was abhorrent. It doesn't matter the reason, this should never happen and when a situation arises with a customer, it should be addressed appropriately and respectful. Never again will we go to this place and we urge others to reconsider their continued support of them. What a shame. read more

Thank you Yelp for surfacing this gem of a spot! In an unassuming strip mall, Aji Ceviche is SERVING (delicious Peruvian food). I was in town for vacation and my travel partner had never tried Peruvian food. Florida is one of the best in the states to enjoy Peruvian cuisine (IMHO!) It seemed like mostly locals here which made me feel even better about this pick. We had the: *Ceviche Sampler (Classic, yellow, and rocoto pepper cream) - great way for my friend to try all of them! We stuck with fish only rather than the pricier seafood mix. The fish tasted fresh and was tender! We liked all three equally. I also enjoy how balanced their ceviche is - sometimes it can be TOO acidic but Aji has found the right balance *Lomo Saltado - classic Chifa. really solid lomo here. HUGE portion too! Love that they didn't mix in ALL the fries when served, so I could self mix (for less soggy!) They have a pretty expansive menu so this seems like a fun place for groups! read more

As a Peruvian, this is one of my favorite Peruvian restaurant in Orlando! The atmosphere is casual and staff are very friendly as well. If you want to start with an appetizer their papa la huancaina is pretty good. My only critique is that the sauce is more on the liquid side, but that's a personal preference. I still recommend trying it out. For an entree though, I highly recommend either going with the lomo saltado or ceviche as those dishes never disappoint! If you are ever craving Peruvian food, then look no further this is your place. read more

This place never disappoints! The quality of the food is consistently amazing -- truly authentic Peruvian flavors that, in my opinion, represent the best of Peruvian cuisine in Orlando (and maybe even all of Florida). The service is always friendly and quick, except during the busiest times, which is understandable. The ambiance is relaxed and casual, but I do think the location could use a little refresh -- some chairs are peeling, and the walls could use a touch-up. It might be because they've been expanding and opening new locations around Orlando, which is great to see! Still, a little extra care here would make this spot absolutely perfect. Either way, the food keeps me coming back every single time! I am posting the photo of what we had - ceviche and the fried fish called Jalea- the plate is " el achorado " read more

If you are looking for a great tasting Peruvian food- Aji Ceviche Bar, is the place to come. This is my wife and I FAVORITE place to eat Peruvian food! Since they opened up a few years ago, we have been coming and have never had a bad experience. We love their food and drinks. My wife being Peruvian, says it reminds her of food from home. The service is excellent! Although the ambience has changed over the years, it is still great restaurant. We will continue to come and enjoy all their various dishes!! read more

This week, I'm all about Peruvian food! I found a great little spot and tried the Arroz Norteno. It had a tasty mix of squid, shrimp, scallops, and mussels with rice and cilantro sauce. I love spicy food, so I added Salsa Corilla, which gave it the extra heat I was looking for. It paired really well with the dish! Definitely worth the visit. read more

We have been loyal customers of Ají since the restaurant first opened, but unfortunately tonight will be our last visit. We arrived about an hour before closing with our toddlers, who wanted ice cream. After confirming with staff that ice cream was not available at the restaurant, we briefly stepped next door to purchase some. When we returned, we were told outside ice cream was not allowed, which--although inconvenient--we understood and respected. As we were paying our check and preparing to leave (still before closing time), we briefly brought the ice cream containers inside while finishing payment. At that point, the manager, Alondres, began yelling at our group, repeatedly shouting about the ice cream policy in a manner that was aggressive, disrespectful, and highly unprofessional. We calmly explained that we were on our way out and simply holding the containers while paying, yet the yelling continued. After years of supporting this restaurant, it is extremely disappointing to be treated with such hostility. Management training in professional customer communication and conflict handling would greatly benefit the establishment. Sadly, due to this experience, we will not be returning. read more

Food was just okay. I was expecting more. We ordered the jalea, seafood rice, and ceviche. While the portions were decent, the flavors were underwhelming and didn't stand out. Overall, it wasn't a bad meal, but it didn't live up to our expectations. read more

This place makes an excellent semi-frozen Pisco Sour. The food is just okay. The fish in our Tiradita was so stringy and tough we had to cut it with a knife. The yellow potatoes in the Causa were rather gritty. And the Arroz con Mariscos was so heavily sauced and overcooked that it was risotto-like. There are lots of better places for Peruvian cuisine in Orlando. read more

My favorite Peruvian restaurant in Orlando. Everything is fresh. Service is good. We have enjoyed every dish we have eaten there.

Excellent food! Great service and ambiance. I just wish the place was bigger, it fills up quickly and not much space among tables. But will definitely keep going there on weekdays,,,, cannot imagine how crowded it gets on weekends. We went Thursday and it was all full. Loved their risotto with lomo , and the aji trio! read more

I had a lovely dinner at Aji with my family last night. The service was wonderful and, contrary to what I'd been told and read, the wait was quite short (only about 5 minutes). The food was tasty but I'm removing a star because the vegetarian options were very limited and, in this day and age, most places typically have more veggie options than Aji had. Still I would dine there again so I think that says a lot! Everyone else in my party enjoyed their food very much and they were also delighted by the service we received. read more

Love Peruvian Food and this place did not disappoint. At first, we didn't want to come here because it was small and did not want to feel cramped. I hate that feeling. After checking it out, stopped at another nearby Peruvian restaurant and came back here. We waited about a half hour on a Sunday afternoon. This place is popular! We got a pretty good table with good service. Since this place is called Aji Ceviche, I definitely had to get ceviche. They have a lot to choose from that aren't on other restaurant menus I've seen. I chose the Passion Fruit ceviche and really enjoyed it. It also was a little bit bigger than I thought so I was fine just having that. My husband had the risotto with Lomo Saltado and no onions and that was also tasty. Peruvian risotto is definitely different then other risotto. It definitely has a different flavor profile that is quite delectable. I also don't find it on many Peruvian restaurants except in South Florida and not in Tampa where I'm from. Their drinks look nice and I wish I got one and they have a nice variety of mousse desserts. I definitely would want to try more in the future. They have tables with wall booth seating on both sides of the restaurants. It is a small restaurant and they do get busy with huge families and get togethers. They also have a handful of outside tables. read more

This place was absolutely packed at 3 PM on a weekday. The staff were incredibly friendly and greeted me in Spanish which had me thinking maybe I could pass as Peruvian. The facade dropped though when I ordered the Aji Sampler, because despite my appearance, I know very little about Peruvian food and wanted to try a variety of ceviches. To my surprise the sampler consisted of three full size entrees of ceviche, a yellow, orange, and white one. After carefully trying, and then absolutely feasting on them, I still couldn't tell you what all the differences were other than color and the accompanying vegetable that came with each one. The white ceviche with sweet potato is definitely my favorite though! read more

This was our first time visiting, but won't be the last. Unlike most diners we did not have one of the juice blends. We tried the Pisciotta Santo which was refreshing and with great flavor.

What a great find! We were looking for some dinner spots one night in Orlando and found this place on Yelp. When we got there around 8:30PM on a Friday, it was packed! For two of us, it was a 20-30 minute wait. To share, we got the Pulpo Anticuchero (grilled octopus) and the Aji Trio. Everything was delicious - seasoned well, was fresh, and cooked nicely. l like their samplers because you get a variety of different things to try. Service was great too, would definitely come back to try more of their menu. read more

Some of the best food that I've had in some time. Not often is a place so good that I come back two nights in a row but If I wasn't leaving the area, tonight would be a third. Almost everything I had was delicious. Huge portions and affordable. The flavor is authentic and tastes almost the same as some of the best places in Peru. The pisco sours were also on point and strong. I've made a list of the things I've tried. The food here comes out fast after placing order but the place gets super packed so table may not be available and reservations are not taken. Parking is available as in shopping center type setting. I tried the ceviche sampler which consisted of three types of ceviche. El popular, spicy and a yellow spiced ceviche. $28 and enough fish to feed two. (See picture) The grilled octopus was the best that I've ever had. Perfectly cooked. Amazing. (See Picture) The fried snapper plate was amazing. A decent size fish with excellent flavored white rice and beans with pork. The Mar y Tierra was probably my least favorite dish. It's enough to feed 2-4 people for $42. I was not a fan of the chicken causa made with potatoes and cream cheese although my date loved it. The plate also comes with ceviche that's amazing. Also huge potion of what seemed to be paella seafood rice which seemed to almost have a yellow pepper/chimichurri flavor and loaded with seafood mainly Calamari -super filling but too heavy for me. Lastly the fish comes with a pile of deep fried seafood: shrimp, mussels, fish, and calamari. The deserts I tried were- Torta de Chocolate- chocolate cake that is super moist with what seems to have a layer of some type of flan or pudding in it. Very good $6 Mousse de Choco Locuma- a mousse cake that has almost a coffee taste with hints of dark chocolate. (My top choice) $6 Mousse de Maracuya- tasted and liked like a cheesecake but mousse. With graham cracker crust, a white mousse and topped with maracuya fruit which is super sweet. Delicious $6 read more

I'm giving it two stars. First, I've had ceviche all over the US, Peruvian ceviche, even I know how to make it. The fish tasted like you were chewing gum. Second, there were no shrimp, just two, and the shrimp were very small. Don't order mixed ceviche here. read more

This is my go to favorite Peruvian restaurant in the Orlando area. I'm Peruvian and of course I'm a hard critic. My top recommendations there for sure are the frozen Maracuya (passion fruit) that's perfection. You can also get a Maracuya Sour and you won't regret it! That's with added pisco. If you know you know! If you don't, go ahead and learn right now! Best app is their ceviche mixto with the fried calamari on top. Chefs kiss! We also always get a sushi roll with the passion fruit drizzle on top. It has tuna and so unique in flavor. I try to get different things every time I come but this the one restaurant that my favorite dish is so good, I can't stop getting it. That is the tallarin verde with lomo saltado. Pesto spaghetti and our staple lomo (beef) dish. Just try it! I really hope you enjoy your experience. We not come with our toddler too who get the fish sticks. They are so good we eat most of them lol don't judge read more

This place is 5 stars all day long! I rarely give 5 stars. This place earned every one of them. This place serves real ceviche just like they do in Peru. If you want authentic ceviche, Peru is where you have to go. If you can't make it there, go to Aji. The ingredients, including the fish, were extremely fresh. The ceviche was prepared the traditional way. You won't get a small little appetizer size either, you get it how they serve in Peru. They also serve Pisco cocktails. You need to have the traditional Pisco Sour cocktail and then continue on down the cocktail list. Their creations are very unique. It's too bad America hasn't embraced Pisco yet. It's a spirit made from grapes and worthy next to Rum or Cachaça. Our server was very friendly and spent a good amount of time of time talking to us about Peru. I've been there and adored the country. It was so nice reminiscing about that adventure while eating authentic Peruvian ceviche. You have try this place. Come with an appetite. read more

Aji Ceviche Bar - Ceviche - Peruvian Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Enjoy it while it lasts, hands down the best Peruvian option in Central Florida (not sure about North Florida). I had been scouting other places online, but nothing seemed right, until I found this place and I decided to take the plunge. I was so happy to eat good Peruvian food that is cooked the right way, with gourmet ingredients, and that looks good also! Having been born in Peru and knowing how to cook good, it is difficult for me to find good restaurants in Orlando. When it comes to Peruvian food, there are no good restaurants in Orlando. Everything barely passes as good, sometimes borderline inedible. I have been to a few places around town and I have not returned because the food is subpar, and that is very sad because Peruvian food is delicious even in its simplest forms. Peruvian food does not require fancy steak cuts or exotic fish/fowl, it is simple and amazingly tasty. With that said, my visit to Aji was fantastic. I did have to wait a bit, the restaurant was full. To be able to accommodate people, tables were moved, names were taken, this place is very dynamic. We finally sat down and I ordered a "Ceviche Trio" (I asked for spicy hot), a carafe of "Chicha Morada", a "Pescado a lo Macho" and a "Tacu-tacu con Lomito". The ceviche was very fresh and the fish was very well cut, it was a good ceviche and that really surprised me. For someone who has eaten excellent ceviche, to find good ceviche is a challenge. Aji's ceviche is GOOD. The fish and the tacu-tacu came and they were also very good, the dishes were well cooked, tasty, and beyond plentiful. We ended up taking half of the dish home for a later snack. All I have to say is that I am happy to have found a gourmet Peruvian restaurant where there are no fumbles. Because this place is unique, I cannot expand on likes and dislikes since there is no comparison for that. If you care to try Peruvian food, this is the place to go. If you already know about Peruvian food, enjoy this place right now, they are cooking good stuff. The restaurant is located in a weird area, I hope they do not move and ruin the vibe, but it is what it is. All I am going to say is: "Just Go!". We didn't try desserts because nothing appealed to us, but they have good stuff also, try "Suspiro Limeño". read more
