Reviews for AJI Bar & Robata in San Jose, CA
Beautifully remodeled new bar/lounge inside of Signia Hotel. Amazing food with intricate and delicious flavors.
Well prepared dishes with excellent flavors. We ordered 5 different plates and each was better than the previous one. One of... the few places to grab a bite after 9pm in sleepy old San Jose. Read more
Simple Takeaway: You must try this food. You won't regret it... an absolute GEM in San Jose! My first time eating at AJI Bar and... Robata happened to be after touring the newly remodeled lounge @ Signia by Hilton San Jose (which is where this restaurant islocated). The ambiance of the lounge absolutely adds to this dining experience... which you really do have to see foryourself! Now let's get to the exciting part -- the food. Two words: 1) high-quality and 2) delicious. The potstickers are THEBEST I have ever had (mind you, potstickers were a staple in my childhood so I know my potstickers!) The ginger citrus misosauce on them is LITERALLY the secret sauce. You also can't go wrong with the Lamb Chops, Sweet Potato Fries, and ShishitoPeppers. I've been going back ever since (3+ dining experiences) because I can't get enough. Like I said in the beginning, thisplace is truly a gem in San Jose. AJI just opened along with the remodeled hotel, so I highly recommend you to try it foryourself ASAP because I have a feeling this place is going to be a go-to for San Jose.

Found out about this place because my cousin?s boyfriend started DJ-ing here this summer on Friday and Saturday evenings. Didn?t... realize it was essentially the hotel bar (there is no signage, you just walk in and AJI is straight ahead), but since it?s anewly renovated space with open seating we thought we?d give it a shot. No regrets. The service was great, coming by frequentlyto check on how our group was doing, insisting there was no rush, and assuring us their kitchen would be open until 10 pm. Fordrinks, we tried the pink spritz, negroni rosita, and pomegranate gimlet. They were all tasty, though my favorite turned out tobe the pomegranate gimlet! For food, we ordered the crispy salmon tartare, potstickers, hamachi, chicken wings, pork belly, andwagyu sliders. I honestly think we were all blown away with how delicious and high-end every bite tasted. The best ones for mewere without a doubt the pork belly and wagyu sliders. We split most of what we were eating four ways, which worked well giventhe amount of pieces per plate were even-numbered. The vibe of this place was super chill the whole time we were there (fromabout 6 to 9 pm) with music to match. It was a great time and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good drinksand live music without the crowds of a club. Plus, the food is amazing! Read more
