Our server Caleb was outstanding! We just left after having our Rutgers Graduation celebration with friends and family at Asa. The food and service was amazing! Our whole party LOVED their meals and drinks. We highly recommend!

The ambience of Aja is something out of a movie, amazing atmosphere. The food is a little on the price side, but it justifies it. The appetizers here are the star of the show in my opinion, the ribs especially are to die for. I had the ramen and my girlfriend had the sushi, both slightly above average in taste. The drinks are good but expensive. This is a great place for a date.

Love the setup . It is a great lounge – just not busy enough. Sushi was fresh. Food presentation was on the spot. Drinks could be stronger. Good selection of drinks and menu. Would visit again.

First time here and let me start by saying that I have been a professional chef for 20 years, l must admit that I’m so surprised by some bad reviews here but my experience here was amazing Waitress was very polite and super friendly not to mention food was perfectly executed and tasted very deliciously. Do yourself a favour and give them a try. It has super amazing ambience and great menu items which will satisfy your every taste . Just asked your waitress what’s best and you will be pleased .

I should’ve known to leave based off the fact that it looked like it was shut down from the outside.

People dont go to this place, SINCERELY SAYING! Its very overpriced for its decor and they have the worst quality sushi, with no stuffing but just low quality tempura batter which is so hard to chew. They didn’t even give chopsticks for to go order. Gave little to no soy sauce with shumai. The disrespectful part was when I reached my hand to take my to go order and she pulled back saying pay first as if I’m gona run. Atleast dont waste your money and gas on a food like this. Also, asked for up charge just for eel sauce I WANT REFUND

Had a lovely new years eve dinner. Staff was friendly and restaurant was relatively quiet. Food was delicious with lots of different options I haven’t normally seen on menus before. Decor was beautiful and really fit the theme. Also loved the radio/soundtrack with chill dance music.

We ordered to pick up but it was really late (22:40 and they close at 23:30) and when we arrived our order hadn’t gone through to the restaurant. But they went out of their way to contact the ordering service and managed to receive the order and make it at literally last minute before closing.
