High-quality takeout sushi featuring omakase & chirashi boxes
"Aji Kiji is a sushi takeout spot dressed up for the Met Gala. The Fillmore counter specializes in bamboo to-go boxes of fish that are as good as any sit-down omakase spots around town, each glittering with jewel-like roe and delicate edible flowers. Opt for the omakase boxes with nigiri, maki, and house soy in an adorable fish-shaped bottle, or the bara chirashi dotted with wiggly cubes of tamago and bits of charred unagi." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
"Aji Kiji is a takeout sushi spot that gives grocery store California rolls self-esteem issues. This place specializes in bamboo boxes of fish and rice that are almost too pristine to touch—each piece of buttery salmon, unagi, and toro glistens like jewels, and the sets all come with a rainbow of house pickles and an adorable fish-shaped soy sauce dispenser. They tend to sell out, so expect a wait and keep an eye on their Instagram for daily updates." - julia chen 1, patrick wong

"Of all the takeout sushi places in the city, Aji Kiji reigns supreme. The Fillmore spot sells out of their bamboo boxes within hours daily, and it’s easy to see why: the glamor shot-ready fish is better quality than some sit-down omakase spots, and about half the price at about $50 on average. There’s a lot to choose from, but we like to stick with the omakase (10 nigiri, one maki, and pickles) or the sake don—it flawlessly showcases both raw and seared salmon." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"Aji Kiji is a takeout-only counter serving sushi that rivals most upscale omakase spots. Staring into the eyes of the adorable fish-shaped bottle full of soy sauce that comes with every box. The omakase set is a stunning lineup of 10 nigiri, negitoro maki, and pickles—if you’re with someone else, share that and the bara chirashi that’s dotted with wiggly tamago cubes and edamame. Vinegar-kissed rice, fresh fish, and Ken (without spending $300)." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez, ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, julia chen 1, julia chen 1, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1
