Food overpriced and way below average, specially the ceviche, the fish was not fresh and was not cooked well in the lemon, please don't go there if you want to eat well I don't know how it can be on the Michelin guide. However, the service was very good.

Food was really good. It was a week day so it was not busy at all and everything around that area was very empty. But worth going there for the food!

We really enjoyed classic seviche at Aji: delicious, exotic and thinly spiced.

Food was excellent. A bit tricky to find entrance. Loud/casual vibe inside. Some minor issues (wobbly table and chair).

We were led by the "m star" but very disappointed by the chef's menu. The fusion approach to Japanese didn't really enhance the taste nor food quality.

We took the €60 menu the quality of the veal was bad full of nerves not fat like any other good quality meat and the portions were tiny. They were nice in that we were not charged for drinks and coffee. I would go back to try their à la carte dishes but certainly not the set menu.

The food was excellent and the ambient very cool. The service was great. Good and efficient people attended us at all time. Its a great combination to go to Aji and then the Grand Casino of Barcelona which is next door!

Honestly, one of the best places I’ve eaten in my entire 2 week trip to Europe. Found it on the Michelin star list while in Spain and I absolutely love it. Will be dreaming about their Bao Shrimp bun for awhile. Every dish was excellent as well as the drinks.

The food is tasty and good quality but I did expect a better menu for Michelin. The service was good, but the ambiance was strange. The colors and lighting weren’t serene and I had a ceiling drip right next to my seat the whole time.

The Lomo Saltado was excellent but the sushi was just good. Certainly not bad at all, but the sushi quality was acceptable not a stand out.
