First time ever going here and definitely not the last. From the moment we got there till we left the in house staff were absolutely amazing in explaining what the foods were to me and my partner. The food itself was fresh and hot and tasted absolutely beautiful. For our starters my partner ordered salmon nigiri and I ordered California roll and both were presented beautifully and tasted equally good and for our main we both had Gyo Niku Don and again the meat was tender, flavoured well and presented beautifully.

I had such a lovely experience at Ajiwai! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt calm and welcoming. The staff were really kind and attentive, which made the visit even better. But what truly stood out was the sushi — absolutely delicious. The fish was incredibly fresh, and every bite just melted in my mouth. The salmon nigiri and tuna rolls were probably some of the best I’ve had in a long time. You can really tell they care about the quality and presentation of their dishes. I also tried one of their special rolls, and it was full of flavour — perfectly balanced and beautifully plated. It’s clear the chefs here know what they’re doing. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys good sushi. I’ll definitely be coming back!
