AJI Sushi & Grill Newcastle

"Stepping into AJI Sushi Newcastle was like stepping into a world of sleek modernity and vibrant energy. The restaurant's clean and contemporary décor, featuring minimalist lines and pops of warm colors, instantly created a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. The friendly staff, with their genuine smiles and attentive service, further reinforced the sense of comfort and hospitality. But let's delve into the true star of the show: the food! From the very first bite, it was evident that AJI Sushi Newcastle prioritizes freshness, quality, and innovative flavor combinations. My dining companions and I embarked on a culinary journey that tantalized our taste buds and left us wanting more. We opted for a diverse selection of sushi rolls and a plate of their spicy chicken teriyaki. Each roll was expertly crafted, showcasing the vibrant colors and textures of the fresh ingredients. Each roll was a visual masterpiece with a delightful explosion of flavors in every bite. The spicy tuna roll, packed with a satisfying kick, offered a delightful balance of heat and creaminess. And the seared salmon, with its slightly caramelized exterior and melt-in-your-mouth texture, was a true testament to the quality of the fish. Beyond the exceptional food, the service at AJI Sushi Newcastle deserves high praise. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offering insightful recommendations and patiently answering our questions. They were also genuinely attentive, ensuring our water glasses were always refilled and our needs were promptly addressed. Their friendly demeanor and genuine engagement added another layer of enjoyment to our dining experience. One minor detail to consider: parking can be a bit challenging, especially during peak hours. If you're planning a visit, be sure to factor in some extra time to find a spot. However, trust me, the delicious food, inviting atmosphere, and exceptional service at AJI Sushi Newcastle are well worth the effort. Overall, my experience at AJI Sushi Newcastle was nothing short of outstanding. The modern and inviting ambiance, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and innovative and flavorful dishes make it a place I highly recommend to anyone seeking a memorable and enjoyable dining experience. Just remember the parking tip, and you're in for a treat!"

"The food is very good! The only reason we don't go here as often as we'd like is their seating. As a family of 5, we always get seated in a booth, which is meant for 4 adults, which means one person is crammed in the corner with no room to speak of. Spending nearly $200.00 for a meal for our family, I would like to be more comfortable and not feel like a sardine. We've asked for a larger table, but they never can help us out. They won't scoot tables together, either. Very frustrating when spending that kind of money and having to hurry up to eat because we are uncomfortable. If they could accommodate 5 adults, we would definitely eat their more as their sushi (and Chicken Teriyaki) are delicious."

"Excellent food here. We went during lunch time after a hike and got the bulgogi bento box, a 2pc squid niguri, and spicy salmon roll and spent about 43 dollars. It was the perfect amount of food for two people. Service was good. Great atmoshere. Definitely reccomend giving this place a try!"

"Excellent food and service. We ordered a variety of sushi platters and they were all served with great quality and friendly waiters. The space is not that big so it'd be good to call in early for larger parties. We went during the dinner rush hours so parking was a bit limited. Overall a very good experience and we will be back."

"My boyfriend and I frequent this place almost weekly. We love how fresh the sushi is here and we have brought our family here who also love it. We tend to get a variety of rolls. My dad loves the short ribs. I also really like the croquettes. The service is always great here. They provide fresh hot towels to wipe your hands in the beginning and free miso soup which is a rarity nowadays. Definitely recommend this spot. I come here with my boyfriend then go to the plaza next door to get ice cream at Frosty Barrel."
