Editorial Review for Aoki Japanese Grill & Sushi Bar – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
Broadway goes upscale at this long-standing Japanese spot popular with the quieter North Capitol Hill crowd. The sound system plays jazz amid modern, well-lit sushi and robata bars, and in the small, serene back dining room. Aoki's menu, with combination lunches and dinners (highlighting donburi, robata, sushi or sashimi), soup noodles and a few dozen uramaki (reversed sushi roll), has many options available all day and into the night.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

If you are lucky and get the food you order than you could have a very good meal. I have eaten there several times but one time was unforgettably bad. I ordered my meal thinking it was one thing and I got another. The server was extremely rude and did not care. I found this surprising so I went to the Sushi Chef Manager. He was even more rude and did not care. I was spending the day with my daughter and this lunch threw a very disappointing taste to the day.

Pros: Good location

Cons: Extremely poor service and lacking in care for the customers

Before submitting this negative review, I called the restaurant to discuss my concerns. The manager was not responsive to my comments, nor did he seem interested in doing anything about the issues that I raised. My experience: Service was horrible. It took more than 30 minutes to get tea and water – the only reason we got it at that point was because we asked for it for the second time. Another 20 minutes passed before we got our sushi (the restaurant was not overly busy, nor did we order complex items or make special orders). Due to slow service and the manager's lack of sincere regret or interest in improving things, I will not eat at Aoki again, nor will I recommend it to anyone. Instead of Aoki, consider: Blue C Sushi (Freemont or University Village) Ototo Sushi (Queen Anne)

Pros: None

Cons: Slow, Inattentive Service
