   Many moons ago there was another Japanese restaurant here that was pretty tasty, affordable, and great for delivery.  Aji Fusion apparently has taken over the location so not a lot of the decor has changed.  One of the first things I noticed was that the prices were quite a bit higher.  We ordered the Sushi Pizza ($13) and Spicy Maki Combo (3 rolls for $15), with miso soup.  Our waitress also gave us a complimentary Kale salad which was quite nice.  I loved the Kale, raisins, walnuts, and the dressing however I'm not a big fan of raw (red) onions.  The miso soup really came as a surprise as it was actually quite sustantial with shiitake mushrooms!  Yum.  The sushi pizza was actually quite delicious.  Fried pancake on the bottom, guacamole, salmon, spicy mayo, dressed with roe, scallions, dried cranberries.  A must have.  (I personally liked the chef's idea of sweetening a plate with raisins/ dried cranberries but others might not).  Onto the dissappointing aspect – the three Spicy rolls.  I don't recall what fish was used but the plate simply wasn't really memorable as the unagi needed just a touch more sauce, and the jalapenos didn't really work – especially when I tasted some seed which overpowered the fish too much.

   My suggestion to the restaurant: lower your prices to get more customers in for the first few months.  The quality of food has high potential to compete with the other Japanese restaurants around the neighborhood.  I'd just lower the prices just a little bit, and dim the lighting just a touch w/ candles since they've already got pillows going on.

   I came here because I needed quick take out and my friend lives just next door, and ordered their Ninja roll, which is a combo of different fish and unagi (my favourite) and it was just excellent – fresh and delicious and chockfull of yummy fish.

   Ordered delivery from here last night and was far from impressed.  First of all, Seamless had told me that it would take 30-45 minutes but took 75 minutes to get our food.

   We ordered the Tic Tac Toe appetizer and the Crazy Spicy Roll and they were TERRIBLE!  They tasted fishy, slimy and completely fell apart when we tried to eat them – we each had one piece and threw the rest in the garbage.  Rice free rolls sound like a fun idea, but they suck – skip it.

   We also ordered the Out of Control Roll and the Twin Roll and these were slightly better, if only because they didn't fall apart and had a nice mix of textures.  But they still tasted a little fishy and if we weren't so hungry after waiting over an hour for our food, we probably would have thrown these in the garbage too.  The shrimp tempura in the Twin Roll specifically tasted pretty stale.

   Lesson learned – check out Yelp before ordering from somewhere new because Seamless reviews are retarded and completely inaccurate!

   Ordered from Grub hub.  Their reviews had this marked as 4 stars so I thought I would give it a go…
   BUT:
   Ugh ugh ugh

   I ordered the chicken panang curry (with added pineapple YUM) which comes with either a salad or miso soup (chose the salad), clear soup and a piece of white tuna sushi.

   First of all, since does 2 pieces of lettuce with one grape tomato constitute a salad?  This was disappointing.

   Second, they sent me miso soup instead of the ordered Clear soup.

   Third, I ordered SUSHI..ya know raw fish?  The white tuna was cooked!  Not even just pan seared but actually cooked.  Alas, this was disappoiting as well.

   Finally, they charged an extra $2 for pineapple which I thought was kinda ridiculous since you can get a can of pineapple for $1.

   I hate to admit because of everything else being so poor but the miso soup (though I didn't order it) was good and the panang curry was scrumptious.
   The curry had green bell peppers, fried tofu, onions and my added pineapple.
   I also opted for the brown rice.

   Perhaps this ordeal wouldn't have happened if I was dining in the restaurant.  As of right now the only reason they habe three stars is because my main entree was good.

   BTW overall cost was ~$25 so kinda pricey
