| - Last week marks the third time I've been here, and I am glad I gave Aji Sai a second chance. As per most AYCE places, you have a time limit when eating here (this is for the dinner menu, not sure if the lunch menu is different): 70 minutes of ordering time and 2 hours of eating time. The timer for both of these starts when you first come in.
The first time I came here, I thought the place was nothing special, and didn't seem to stand up to the reviews that had been given to me by friends: a lot of the food seemed like it had been sitting around before it was brought over and service was slow/nothing special. The second time, I had a huge problem with the food: the tempura tasted like it was rotten or something and the avocado used in everything was very unripe, and when I sent it back they came back with new food that had the same problems. Both these times, I came in for lunch.
This third time, however, I pretty much have no complaints. Service was friendly and fast even though it was packed. We were a party of 5 but even still our orders were correct and there were no problems with the food. Another nice thing is that they don't pack the maki rolls full of rice, which they do at a lot of AYCE restos to try and fill you up faster. Dynamite, Rainbow California, Spicy Scallop and Aji Sai rolls are must-tries!
I would definitely suggest ordering off the dinner menu rather than lunch, because even though it's more expensive ($21 before tax), the menu is WAY better and includes a lot more options that are worth the extra money.
