Word on the street
What locals are saying
Aji Asian Bistro has quietly become the default sushi destination for James Island and the Kiawah corridor — locals return for the pepper tuna, the angry dragon roll, and sashimi that reads as legitimately fresh rather than strip-mall fresh. The interior pulls off an upscale, traditional-meets-modern look that routinely surprises first-timers expecting something far more casual for its Harbor View shopping center address. The hibachi side of the menu, however, divides the room: devoted fans of the sushi program often find it greasy and underwhelming, and the calamari appetizer has drawn pointed criticism for portion size and quality.
