"Takeout sushi no longer has to be a smushed, grocery store cooler affair—look at the pristine boxes coming out of Aji Kiji. The Fillmore spot specializes in to-go bamboo boxes of nigiri and chirashi that are plated with the precision of a Type A seventh grader doing a color-by-number. The $54 omakase box comes with ten snuggled-up nigiri, plus negitoro maki and their house soy in an adorable fish-shaped bottle. For a cheaper option with the same high-quality fish, go for the bara chirashi ($36), a colorful unagi, salmon, and toro-fest over rice, dotted with edamame and wiggly cubes of tamago.
