"A takeout-only sushi hotspot leaving its original Fillmore Street home, with owner Jinwoong Lim moving the popular chirashi bowl operation to 359 Kearny Street by the end of October; most of the menu and vibe will carry over, and the new spot will debut a separate line just for online orders." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Known as a to-go sushi specialist, this popular takeout restaurant first opened at 1552 Fillmore Street in July 2024 and quickly became known for owner Jinwoong Lim’s chirashi bowls, nigiri, and maki rolls made with Tamanishiki rice, regularly selling out within two or three hours at lunch. Lim is closing the Fillmore Street location and reopening at 359 Kearny Street, aiming for October, with a similar interior and menu plus a key addition for the FiDi crowd: online ordering with a dedicated pickup line separate from the walk-in line to better serve office workers with short lunch breaks." - Dianne de Guzman
"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
