Great little place with a great lunch special. Easy to order online for pickup or to dine in (just a few small tables, perfect for a quick bite). Always a favorite whenever I'm in the area.

Just had a takeout lunch from Aya Sushi. The rainbow roll and the sashimi (salmon belly, octopus, yellowtail, yellowtail belly, fluke, striped bass) was delicious and fresh. Was even given a free extra eel sauce and extra soy sauce, plus a dessert orange that had been cut in interesting fashion. The portions were perfect for me so I didn’t feel like I had too much or too little...just right. Definitely recommended to any connoisseurs of Japanese cuisine, regardless of living in the area or visiting. There was a “Ken” in the restaurant while I was waiting for my order. He wouldn’t shut up about the seaweed being inedible, which isn’t true. He probably just ate the green plastic decoration lol. The staff handled this Ken respectfully, and I commend them for the patience they had, as I could clearly see how much love they put into their food. Dealing with entitled people is a drain for anyone owning or working in a restaurant, as it is also a drain for other customers who witness it. Thanks guys! You did awesome and I can’t wait to be back again!

Don’t let the size of this place fool you, their curry dish was amazing, and my daughter ate the chicken katsu. Staff was super friendly and the food was fresh. Highly recommended!
