    Lobster tempura roll and ahi tuna
    Susan V.

    What a fun surprise! We have never been and the food was delicious! The service was also exceptional. Super fresh and so many sushi and special roll options. I highly recommend. It's more casual and was a little cold which is the only reason for the 4 and not 5 stars. But still a wonderful experience and great food. I forgot to take a photo (but I will when we go back) of the gyoza. They were the best gyoza (dumplings) I have ever had. Which says a lot bc I eat Asian and dumplings weekly. My husband had the hot sake and said it was great. We both enjoyed your traditional miso soup as well. Pros: Super fresh sushi Great menu options Excellent service Cons (none) Just some notes: Smaller if you have a very large group it may be tough or you may have to split up Casual - not a con for me but if you are looking for a fancy night out this is not it Cold - lots of windows and it was a cold night Don't wait and check this place out!!! You won't be disappointed.

    I was really hoping this intimate sushi spot would become a go-to place, but unfortunately these were the worst sushi rolls I have ever had. I was a little too ambitious and ordered us several rolls. Dynamite, Soho, Lafayette , Dragon, Black Dragon, and Alaska. It was the wrong night to be indulgent. The rolls were just bland. The Soho roll was probably the best one, but pretty much everything tasted the same. The rice was gummy and muted everything. The fish was cut with inconsistent thickness. The simple Alaska roll was sloppy in its proportions and the decadent, fried, dynamite roll's flavor were lost in the layers of batter and rice. It pains me to knock any place with earnest service and a clean, comfortable ambiance, but there is decent sushi in Colorado and this isn't it. Being land locked is no excuse. I will say the service was fast. The waitress was friendly and attentive. The dining area was nice enough for a date, but not stuffy so as to be off limits at the end of running errands. Plenty of people seemed to be enjoying their dining experience, so perhaps other things on the menu are delicious, but in my opinion, if you are craving specialty Sushi rolls, roll on past Sushi Ají.

    It has been a while since we ventured out with the whole family for a meal but my sushi hankering decided last weekend would be IT! We've been to Aji Sushi several times but it's been at least 3 years. So happy to go back! 630p on a Saturday night, no wait. We were seated at the back near the bathrooms which is not my favorite but we were also out with two small children - always a gamble - so I understood. Overall we had a great meal. We started with Monkey Brains which, much to my 4.5 year old's relief, was NOT actually animal brains (it's avocado stuffed with crab/fish, fried crispy and topped with a tasty sauce). This was awesome! We ordered Yaki Udon (thick rice noodles in a tasty sauce with chicken and veggies) - a big hit with both kids and also made for most excellent day-after leftovers for mom & dad. Lastly, we ordered too much sushi. I need someone to develop some sort of mathematical equation to calculate "the right" amount of sushi. We never get it right and always over-order. I digress. As usual, nigiri is the benchmark by which we measure quality and Aji delivered! Salmon, tuna and eel - all so good! Tender, flavorful. Each roll we ordered was excellent too. Staff was friendly and so kind in accommodating various requests regarding the kiddos. It was a great night out! Looking forward to returning.

    Why would ANY restaurant serve escolar?

    Their eel (unagi) is outstanding and raises the flavor of any roll to exceptional, and their unagi sauce is thick and of a high quality.

    It is not the best sushi I have ever had, but it is indeed the best I have had in East Boulder County. I really enjoy them! :)

    This was simply some of the worst sushi I have ever had. Mayo on everything to cover the taste of low quality fish. Yuck.

    Looking for a new sushi bar to check out in early January we decided to visit Matsumotto Sushi &…read moreGrill based on their Yelp reviews and photos. We arrived at 6:30 pm on a Saturday evening to full restaurant which was a great sign. You also want to see your sushi bar moving a lot of product so you know their seafood will be fresh. Lucky for us there were two seats at the bar open so we were seated right away. We started off the meal with of course some Sapporo and premium sake along with a tempura app. I've not found great tempura in the area and was pleasantly surprised with their preparation. We then ordered a Chirashi bowl (wife) and assorted nigiri for myself. The chirashi was okay, decent but not anything amazing. Some of the fish cuts were a little odd like they were the trimmings from the end of the filet. My nigiri was solid and I appreciate the fish to rice ratio was perfect as lot of other places make their sushi with way too much rice to stretch the dish. The amaebi or sweet shrimp was fresh and heads were nicely fried and tasty though I wish they fried it a minute longer. Overall a solid sushi bar tucked away from the main road but definitely worth a visit!

    We drove all the way to Aurora for some ramen, and when we got there the place was packed. So we…read moreheaded back home to try out Matsumotto. I am so glad we did because this place is a hidden gem in the neighborhood. Once we were inside we were greeted by friendly staff and seated, cold glasses of water came alongside the menus. We decided on some sushi, a plate of Shrimp Yakisoba, and Kobe Beef Fried Rice. The fried rice was so delicious. The best I've had in a long time, the last time I had fried rice this good was when my friend's Japanese grandmother made it for us. That was over 15 years ago. I am also a big fan of Yakisoba, and this Yakisoba was also one of the best I've had in a long time. The sushi was excellent too. The inside is decorated with a nice modern feel, and it's clean and tidy. I love the feel in here. People are just talking, eating, it feels like a true neighborhood joint where there's regulars. I have a feeling I am going to become a regular here too.
