Aja Asian Cuisine - Skillman

Our family often passes by Aja Asian Cuisine, and we finally decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, we were a little disappointed with the flavors of the dishes. Although they use high-quality ingredients, the salmon we ordered didn't suit our tastes, mainly because of an unusual vinegar sauce that didn't pair well with the okra and salmon. We ended up having to scrape off the sauce. It seems there may have been a mix-up in the kitchen that day. My husband ordered the clay pot beef but received what looked like pepper steak in a cast iron pan. We were confused, as we had noticed clay pots in their promotional photos. On the bright side, our son's children's bento seemed to be fine. The service was quick in clearing tables, perhaps a bit too quick—my husband's plate was taken away while he briefly stepped away. It’s possible that the kitchen or staff was just having an off day during our visit.

I visited this restaurant for the first time last Tuesday for lunch, and I was very pleased with my experience. I would definitely return to try more dishes. Service: Dine-in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $50–$100 Recommended dish: Miso Soup.

This is a beautiful restaurant that has finally found its footing after many years. I've dined here about five times, and I can consistently say that the food is very good. Their menu features a modern mix of Chinese and Japanese cuisine, both of which are skillfully prepared. The Chinese dishes, like General Tso's Chicken, were delicious, though they were a bit on the sweet side. The Japanese offerings, including sushi, bento boxes, and teriyaki, were flawlessly executed. Usually, the service is excellent, but during my last takeout order, a couple of items were mistakenly left out; however, they didn't charge us for those missing items. Overall, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit and serves the best Chinese and Japanese food in the area.
