Wow. Amazing. Favorite thing was the Eel and the hand roll. Must try! Kristian is very nice!
An absolutely wonderful experience and a huge step up from
An absolutely wonderful experience and a huge step up from the typical sushi experience. Coming from California this is pretty exceptional and on par with what we experience there.
Aji is beyond a meal, it's an experience.
The staff as well as the host, Christian, were incredibly attentive. Each piece is thoughtfully and dutifully carried out. Fabulous environment. This was our first omakase experience and will be hard to beat. We will most definitely be back!
The fish was fresh and everything was so delicious.
My party and I were running late but the staff was accommodating and friendly with plating the pieces that the chef had already put together. I appreciate that they have a changing menu board. It was one of my friend's birthday so they were ab

We had a blast at Aji! Expect a close, intimate setting with all the chefs when you get that reservation. They serve up quality omakase with interesting flavor combinations that really bring out the best in the fish you eat. It shows how much researc
Everything about this place is amazing.
The sushi is fresh and delicious. The service was above and beyond outstanding. The place is intimate and very clean. Definitely a unique experience.
Amazing place! We're visiting Chicago and saw this
Amazing place! We're visiting Chicago and saw this recommended multiple times. This blew our already decently high expectations out of the water. It's a more contemporary interpretation of omakase. The staff is incredibly friendly. The fo
One of the better omakases I've been to recently.
The unagi is fresh and has good texture. The uni and wagyu pieces were the perfect way to end the meal. The cocktails were also great. I got a yuzu margarita which was delicious. Very intimate space, perfect for smaller occasions. Kristian was also g
Quite literally my favorite dining experience of the YEAR.
We visited Aji for my 30th birthday and I don't think I can top off this experience. It was a small intimate space with only about 10 seats which made the service 100x better, our bartender and server that explained each course was so personable

Connect with users posting reservations for AJI Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with AJI Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to AJI Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the AJI Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at AJI Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at AJI Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
