About Aoi Japanese Restaurant & Bar

Authentic Japanese sushi and home-style dishes. Upscale traditional decor. Omakase available upon reservation

Aoi Japanese Restaurant & Bar is one of the japanese & sushi listed in Iselin, New Jersey. The business is registered at Inside APA Hotel, 120 S Wood Ave, Iselin, NJ 08830; use this page to check its hours, phone number and Google rating before you make the trip. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as sushi restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Portion sizes and pricing swing widely across this group, from a $10 lunch bowl to a multi-course tasting menu at an upscale sushi counter, so checking recent reviews and photos is more useful than the price range alone. In Iselin, dinner reservations for popular izakaya, hot pot and Korean BBQ spots fill up on Friday and Saturday nights, so booking ahead or arriving at opening is worth it. Many restaurants across New Jersey run daily lunch specials on weekdays that are not listed on the dinner menu, so it is worth asking. Halal, vegetarian and gluten-free options vary a lot by kitchen; call ahead if you have a dietary restriction rather than assuming the menu will note it.

Hours are published for 6 days a week. On most of those days it is open 12–2 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (732) 635-7146. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, aoirestaurants.com.

Customers rate it 4.4 out of 5 on Google across 330 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded japanese & sushi in Iselin.

Iselin is in New Jersey, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Traffic in Iselin peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Authentic restaurant with decent food quality, ice cream is a good ending to conclude the meal! Service is good, Bash and Ben are touching tables to make sure everything is good.

This restaurant brings you to Japan. Located inside a Japanese hotel, it has a peaceful yet cozy atmosphere. The food is incredibly authentic, and the sashimi is exceptionally fresh. Their toro don is an absolute must-try! The service was outstanding. Our server was very kind and attentive. She chatted with us throughout the meal and surprised me with a sweet birthday treat :)

The volcano roll was really good. They have great Japanese beer and saki as well. I really enjoyed the authentic atmosphere and artwork all over. My favorite part was the samurai armor. Really nice restaurant.

Me and my Son Jathik had a mama & son dinner date at AOI Japanese Restaurant, and from the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine warmth by Jennifer, our host for the night. She set the tone immediately. Amazing hospitality, attentiveness and courtesy from Jenifer The atmosphere makes you feel like you’ve stepped into another country or another time altogether. Japanese culture is beautifully preserved here, and the level of authenticity is honestly mind blowing. Words won’t do it justice, so I’ll be sharing photos and videos. The food was incredible, authentic and mouth watering. so I’ll let the visuals speak for themselves. One unforgettable moment was when my son accidentally ate a chunk of wasabi… I honestly panicked because I didn’t know what was happening and then Jennifer jumped in to action to attend to him and the chef suggested oolong tea after making sure he was fine without hesitation, I joined him in the pain by eating an even bigger chunk of wasabi which felt like dying and coming back to life yet even without oolong tea, took it like a champ! I told him that’s how the OG does it. So I could remind him that when he starts fighting with me lol. A core memo

As a newly engaged couple, my fiancΓ© and I decided to host our parents’ meetup dinner at AOI, and we were blown away by the service and hospitality. Our waiter Ben was an incredible host and made us all feel so comfortableβ€” he even memorized all our names by the end of the night. We ordered the sushi dinner + sashimi boat w additional appetizers and rolls and enjoyed every dish. We particularly loved the uni and spicy scallop roll. Thank you AOI for making this a special night for us to remember!
