    Aiko is a fantastic spot for sushi and a perfect choice for a girls’ night out! The service was absolutely incredible—the staff was attentive, accommodating, and understanding of our being 10 minutes late. The ambiance was beautiful, clean, and had a fresh, new vibe that added to the experience. We started with the fried chicken appetizer, which was absolutely delicious—highly recommend it! The edamame was tasty too, but it’s definitely a smaller portion, ideal for two people to share. For sushi, the Negitoro, Hamachi, and Wagyu Maki were phenomenal—so flavorful and fresh. The spicy tuna, however, fell short and wasn’t as impressive. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely return to enjoy Aiko’s amazing service and standout dishes!
