Reviews of Ajiwai Japanese & Korean BBQ
M. T.Small authentic brilliant Japanese and Korean BBQ restaurant. Menu is vast so take time to chose, staff are on hand to answer any queries. Pumpkin croquettes to start were fresh and well balanced in flavour.
My house special soba main was incredible in flavour and variation whilst the Korean veg dishes we had were tasty and the experience of cooking them at the table was a lovely twist. This was my first experience of Japanese food and I highly recommend to anyone
K. M.Small but a nice Japanese restaurant in Durham with an amazing atmosphere ! The food was delicious and the service was great! Not too pricey, definitely good value for money!
M.A hidden gem! Delicious food- especially the sashimi selection! Atmosphere could be a bit more lively however may just be due to the time visited.
J. G.Fresh and delicious, Bang Bang chicken was fantastic! Tables in the restaurant didn't suit it well, I'd recommend doing it out with nice booths
E.The service at the restaurant was great. Food was also amazing with big portions and they were tasty! Surprised the restaurant wasn’t busier as it surpassed expectations! Will be returning & highly recommend :)
H. L.Good price. Good food. Would try out the bbq next time since it's the only one available in Durham.
N. G.First time here, come for sushi but after seeing menu decided on the BBQ sharing platter. Mixture of Beef, Chicken and Prawns with side options. Approx £25 per head
You’ve got your own grill to cook the way you like. Service brilliant explain what they recommend and check in to see how you getting on (without being too intrusive)
Would highly recommend
i. 9.Fantastic little place with friendly staff and wonderful food. We did not have a booking on a busy Saturday night but staff managed to seat us quickly. Food arrived fast. Will definitely return.
E. M.Absolutely fantastic! The sushi is beautiful and very fresh, the ramen is glorious not many restaurants can do fish well but this one is absolutely exceptional! :) The staff are great, always so polite and helpful, very welcoming atmosphere just a great place tbh!
S. Q.Hidden gem with delicious food and wonderful service by our waitress Catherine. We got Sapporo tonkotsu ramen, bang bang cauliflower, seaweed salad and tuna sashimi. All amazing. We will be back for sure!
I. P.Good food, nice place to eat, but the delivery service is not great. Food arrives late, expected times change or are incorrect. Sometimes no tracking info is provided. Shame as the food is excellent.
L. C.The food here is really good and the staff very friendly. I recommend the unagui. It was not that big but it was delicious.
The ramen however is not that great, there's room to improve on that one.
Still it's nice to have a good Japanese place at Durham
F. R.Great food as always and a much better restaurant then they're original location! Takoyaki was brilliant as always. And the chicken is halal!!!!! So much incredible food and waiting staff are so polite and lovely . I'm so happy full right now !
R. C.Ajiwai is probably my favourite restaurant in Durham. The food is always delicious and there's great variety, plus the atmosphere is calm and the staff are always very helpful. I can't stop going back! The 20% off deal is also great, being a student. Definitely try the Bang Bang Cauliflower :)
J. S.Tastes authentic, fresh and great - the best Japanese cuisine you're gonna get in County Durham, at a super affordable price.
Would definitely recommend the Takoyaki and Sushi sets if you're after seafood, or the Gyoza with some Ramen for a meatier alternative. Good portion sizes and service, too.
R. T.Absolutely fantastic, delicious food! Extremely friendly staff and just a lovely atmosphere. One of my favourite places to eat!
D. S.There were four of us two adults 2 kids (7 and 13) for eldest birthday as he loves sushi. Initial impressions is it's a nice space very open and clean. Staff were friendly and as wife is a coeliac were very helpful and helping her select dishes that were suitable for her.
We had a mix of starters with a sushi platter and two rice and a ramen dishes for mains. Food arrived promptly and was tasty eldest love his sushi but nearly spoiled it by thinking the wasabi was avocado. Overall a great experience we will be back
M. L.Only tried sushi and starters. The taste was good but nothing exceptional, and I personally felt the rolls were a bit too wide, difficult to eat in one bite.
R. K.Serves Korean bbq, sushi and ramen. The ramen was pretty sub standard. The broth had no depth, toppings were basic.
A. B.Kinda of similar to a Japanese izakaya, serving a mix of Japanese and Korean dishes.
a. w.The food was excellent, the portions sizes were reasonable for the prices. Service was good though. It’s a shame they don’t have Ramen. Also it’s cash only at the moment.
M. S.Best sushi in Durham !!!!!
Great service and atmosphere
J. K.I actually do enjoy going to Ajiwai. I have come to enjoy the food here. The starter's are to die for.
A.Lovely quaint restaurant, food was delicious and staff were lovely, very accommodating when we asked if we could take the food we didn't finish home. Ramen was so tasty and sushi was delicious. Will definitely be returning! 🤍
T. C.Authentic!!! And delicious :) perfectly captures the taste of home.
C. B.Lovely little Japanese restaurant with some nice ramen, soba and sushi. They have specials in most categories which are very pleasant and a lovely atmosphere for a chat.
C. H.Have been a few times and deliver from there. Food is excellent, although sometimes they put a bit too much mayo on the sushi. Everything tastes very fresh and flavourful. Never eaten in, but the interior is spacious and tidy. Quite pricey, but definitely worth a try.
a. s.They have a great selection of sushi and their special sushi rolls are well worth a try. The mains are properly balanced in terms of flavour and the use of ingredients seem to be freshly prepared and authentic to the Japanese cuisine. Overall it is a really nice place to extinguish your cravings for Japanese food while in Durham with a good atmosphere and friendly staff.
I. S.Absolutely brilliant, just ordered takeaway tonight, food is fresh and delicious!
Was a little bit late but genuinely apologised and charged much less what original price was. Thank you to all of your staff!
going to order again and again. 5star service!!!
H. E.Offering the eat out to help out deal. Wanted to try this place for a long time as my children love sushi. We didn't book ahead as we didn't expect to go out for a meal but we were accommodated with great service and friendly staff. The food was great and the kimchi side order was a really generous portion as well as delicious.
F. S. J.I live in Darlington, tried this sushi because Durham is also beautiful to see so I walked with my gf over the town centre and then order the takeaway, being sunday there was some free on sundays parking around the centre. I don't regrete it, the rice (on the sushi) was really good and the sushi very well made. I liked the Asaji special roll altought my gf said she could not taste a thing out of it Haha, I enjoyed it, then her favourite was the dragon, Very good, very very good. We had also takoyaki (a bit overpriced if it is not house made) but tasty and a couple of rolls for a roughly a fiver like the alaska. We always spend 50 on sushi (her treat) so I end up satisfied with the evening. The guy at the shop was really nice as well.
E. U.Excellent food and lovely staff definitely we will come
E.This place sells delicious food and the best Korean BBQ
L. C.This Japanese restaurant was lovely! The food was tasty and reasonably priced! Roughly £10 for a main meal but there was lots of options for small bits such as sushi, maki, and much more! Definitely recommend trying here when you get the chance! Staff were lovely and pleasant too!
r. m.We had the takoyaki, tofu, chicken gyoza and teriyaki chicken wings to start. All the starters were really nice, the wings were piping hot which I'm not complaining about as I hate when food is cold.i had the pork ramen for my main which was alright but I think the broth needed more flavour and the pork was quite chewy. The beef and kimichi don was lovely and had a bit of a kick. Service was slow at the beginning but staff were lovely, small place and it was full when we went. They don't serve alcohol but think you can bring your own. Would definitely go back again to sample more of the mains.
N. U.So coming from a Japanese ancestry, I do like my Japanese food. I have looked around for some and still have not come across anything authentic until now. The gyoza tastes just like the ones my Aunt makes (she comes from Japan) and the fried tofu was amazing. Definitely will be back again, as need to give their sushi a try.
J. S.Great food, great service, great value
I. B.The tuna sashimi was frozen in the middle and did not taste fresh. The miso soup and vegetarian gyoza were nice. We'd go back but would not have sashimi or sushi again.
M. D.Best Japanese food I have had in the UK! We ended up here by accident whilst visiting from London, but the food in this place has been the best part of our visit. Will come again!
H. Q.Chicken wings are extremely delicious (actually, probably the best chicken wings in Durham). However, octopus and salmon is not that fresh, so tastes a bit weird...
H. F. (.Fantastic, authentic food at a very reasonable price. Really friendly staff, fast sevice and a lovely atmosphere created in part by the lovely Japanese cultural decor.
d. l.I dicided to give this japanese restaurant a try. They do so great sushi, the menu is simple enough to understand. Dragon roll and chicken katsu currry is a good choice. Staff is friend enough and the service is very attentive.
a. p.Cosy little joint with a friendly atmosphere and excellent service. The food was very very good. Definitely recommend.
K. J.Tasty Japanese food - reasonably priced, a large portion size and a varied menu. Great selection of smaller bites and a casual, cosy atmosphere.
A. S.Loved it! Delicious fried rice and plenty of Vegetarian options. Authentic, beautiful and quick, efficient service. Thank you very much 😊
