This place is soooo good! The drinks were delicious and the food was . The flan was a sort of lemon flavor which is not my preference. We had the ceviche as appetizer! It was on top of a potato and it was so good, tasty and filling. It also has a cute vibe and the service was good. Will def return.

From the complimentary chips down to their drinks and desserts, Aji never disappoints!! Usually frequent it for their Lomo Saltado, always cooked well and very good but they also have amazing burgers (who knew an egg and plantains in a burger would make it so much better?), plantains, ceviches and even the smoothest flan in town! Service is always so friendly and efficient with a chill vibe all throughout. If you're looking for a nice, homie Peruvian restaurant with top-notch food, Aji is the way to go.

We finally visited and it did not disappoint. Their plates were delicious, elegantly presented, and descent size. We fell in love with the Pescado a la macho plate! The sauce, spices and fish were out of this world! We definitely will be coming back for this specific dish. We also enjoyed their platinos! I was hoping that dish was mine only, but my bf decided he was also craving them haha! Their home made chips were definitely unique... we ate them less than a minute! You'll see once you visit. I wasn't the biggest fan of the Conchitas a la Parmesan's plate but i still enjoyed everything else. Also, the service was great. To top it off we loved that the place is open, so it's perfect for the summer, air comes in and out.

Hadn't had Peruvian food in a minute, so I was more than happy welcoming it back into my life with Aji. I was able to find a parking spot a block away, but I imagine it can get pretty tough on the weekends when things are a bit busier. From the jump, the ambience is nice, with an open-air view, modern interior, and solid selection of music. Our server, Rosita, was hilarious, hospitable, and helpful, sharing stories, assisting us with menu options, and cracking jokes all night. We'd ordered about half the menu. From what I recall, we had the golden beet salad, causa trio, chupe de camarones, and papa rellena de camarones, and picarones to finish things off for dessert. Everything was plated beautifully and had a very grand portion size fit for multiple people. For starters, we were served their house made potato chips, gargantuan in size and garnished with an aioli-like dressing. Crispy and delicious, loved it. Rosita explained potato chips originated in Peru, so I'd also learned something new. The golden beet salad was fresh, sweet, and had lots of flavor with its blend of numerous ingredients. Very pleasant to eat, especially loved the goat cheese and honey balsamic vinegar. The papa rellena de camarones felt like an entree with its miniature football-sized stature. It meshed excellently with the chipotle aioli and salsa criolla drizzle. Inside was flavorful, with an abundance of ingredients that worked nicely together; shrimp, onions, potato mash, paprika, green onions. Loved the causa trio, which helped when we were indecisive on which causa we wanted to order. It consisted of one of each of the following: limena, de camarones, and spicy tuna. I really enjoyed them all, but was seeing a trend playing personal favorites with the aioli, so I'll choose my victor here and go with the causa limena. It's a chilled potato mash topped off with crab, jalapeno aioli, and avacado. So much flavor. The picarones were one of the more unique desserts I'd ordered. They're essentially powdered crispy doughnuts filled with yam and cinnamon, with a large syrup base to immerse your fried friend in. Very sweet and satisfying. Great food, ambience, service, and overall experience. I'll come again to check out more options in the future.
