AJITO

Izakaya restaurant, Asian restaurant ★4.0 (24)·US$30–50

7335 Bollinger Rd STE C, Cupertino, CA 95014, USA

4.0
Cozy Japanese restaurant with excellent food! Their sushi was very Japanese style with the sushi rice completely hidden by the fish (unlike most Americanized sushi that has a huge wad of sushi rice under the fish). The Sashimi Salad was also excellent. Also enjoyed Edamame and Moro Q (cucumber with plum paste and mayoness). The decor is simple and modern. Screens segment the room to make it cozier and more intimate. You order on a tablet but sometimes the tablet gets locked and a server has to unlock it again for you. They usually have 3 daily specials. The have regular, low sodium, and gluten free soy sauce on every table. Their in restaurant menu is more extensive than the menu they publish on their website -- quite a few good looking vegetarian options. Overall I highly recommend this restaurant. Reasonable prices. - Tim Oey

AJITO Introduce

Nestled at 7335 Bollinger Rd STE C, Cupertino, CA 95014, USA, AJITO is a hidden gem that has quickly become a go-to destination for those seeking an authentic and serene Japanese dining experience. Accessible via phone at (408) 829-7510 and mobile at +1 408-829-7510, AJITO stands out in the bustling Cupertino culinary scene by offering a tranquil escape coupled with exceptional Japanese cuisine.

While AJITO operates as an Asian restaurant, its integration with a platform category like "Doctor Near Me" can be understood metaphorically. Just as a doctor provides healing and care, AJITO offers a kind of culinary comfort and rejuvenation. In a fast-paced world, finding a quiet and relaxed environment to enjoy a meticulously prepared meal can be incredibly beneficial for one's well-being. AJITO provides a space where one can unwind, savor fresh ingredients, and experience the meticulous artistry of Japanese cooking. For those seeking a respite from the daily grind, or perhaps a gentle culinary reset, AJITO serves as a calming sanctuary, offering a delightful and satisfying experience that nourishes both body and spirit, much like a trusted local service dedicated to your welfare.

The environment at AJITO is a significant part of its appeal. Described by customers as "cozy," "simple and modern," and "quiet and relaxed," the restaurant offers a soothing ambiance. Located within a strip mall, it benefits from ample parking, ensuring a hassle-free visit for diners. Inside, the decor is thoughtfully designed with screens segmenting the main room. This clever use of space creates more intimate and private dining areas, even within a larger setting, contributing to a feeling of warmth and seclusion that enhances the dining experience. Unlike some bustling restaurants, AJITO often manages to maintain a calm atmosphere, even on a Friday night, which is a testament to its tranquil design and efficient operation. This serene setting makes it perfect for a casual dinner, a quiet conversation, or simply enjoying a peaceful meal.

The service at AJITO is notably fast and friendly, contributing to a smooth and enjoyable meal, as highlighted by customer reviews. A distinctive feature of their service model is the iPad-based ordering system at each table. This modern approach allows diners to browse the extensive menu, including drinks like water, and place their orders directly. While this system occasionally requires server intervention to unlock a locked tablet, the staff is quick to assist, ensuring a seamless ordering process. This technological integration streamlines the ordering experience, providing efficiency while still allowing for personalized assistance when needed. The staff’s kindness and willingness to accommodate requests, such as replacing shellfish with salmon in a bento box, further underscore their commitment to customer satisfaction. The overall impression is one of attentive and accommodating service, which significantly elevates the dining experience.

AJITO’s features truly shine through its culinary offerings and attention to detail. Their sushi is celebrated for its authentic Japanese style, where the fish generously covers the rice, a distinct departure from many Americanized versions that feature a larger proportion of rice. This dedication to traditional preparation is evident in dishes like the Sashimi Salad, which customers have lauded as excellent. Beyond sushi and sashimi, the menu boasts a variety of delectable options. The Chicken Teriyaki receives high praise for its flavorful sauce and perfectly cooked meat, while the Chicken Karaage is noted for its crisp, golden perfection.

The restaurant also caters to diverse palates and dietary needs. They consistently offer three daily specials, providing new and exciting options for returning customers. A thoughtful touch is the availability of regular, low sodium, and gluten-free soy sauce on every table, demonstrating their commitment to accommodating various health and dietary preferences. Furthermore, their in-restaurant menu is more extensive than the one published online, featuring "quite a few good looking vegetarian options," which is a significant draw for non-meat eaters. Dishes like Edamame and Moro Q (cucumber with plum paste and mayonnaise) are also popular choices for appetizers, showcasing a range of traditional Japanese small plates. The ability to customize bento boxes, such as replacing ingredients, further highlights their flexibility and customer-centric approach.

In terms of promotional information, AJITO’s primary draw appears to be its consistent delivery of high-quality, authentic Japanese food at reasonable prices, combined with a pleasant dining atmosphere. While specific promotional deals like discounts or loyalty programs are not detailed in the provided information, the value offered through their extensive menu and comfortable dining environment serves as a powerful ongoing promotion. The positive word-of-mouth generated by satisfied customers, who highly recommend the restaurant, is arguably their most effective form of promotion. The ease of access with ample parking, and the quiet, relaxed setting, are also key features that attract and retain customers, particularly those looking for a peaceful dining experience. The availability of an extensive in-restaurant menu that surpasses the online version also acts as an incentive for customers to visit in person, discovering a wider array of dishes upon arrival. The daily specials also encourage repeat visits, ensuring there's always something new to try.

In conclusion, AJITO in Cupertino presents a compelling dining experience that combines authentic Japanese cuisine with a serene and welcoming atmosphere. Its dedication to traditional preparation, diverse menu options including vegetarian and dietary-sensitive choices, and efficient yet friendly service, all contribute to its strong appeal. For those seeking a quality Japanese meal in a comfortable setting, AJITO is a highly recommended destination.
