Great undiscovered resturaunt!

I ate at Aja a couple of weeks ago and it was a wonderful experience! I don't think Aja gets the props it deserves. I went on a Monday night and it was pretty dead inside which was shocking for a location right downtown. People need to go to Aja! It really is quite good! Plus the sous chef is super,,,well for a hetro, hot???! :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We just did drinks, apps and desserts and everything we tried was fantastic. I started with the Blueberry drink which our super friendly server brought out to us. It was very strong and didn't hold anything back in the hard liquor department. For apps, we tried the rock shrimp, crab rangoon and dumplings. All three items were really good but the rock shrimp was a standout, Had a little kick to them and an interesting sauce I didn't quite recognize on them. Very tasty! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The star of our meal show was definitely the Aja oreo dessert. I don't normally like white chocolate but the white chocolate mousse in this is fantastic and the cookies are to die for! It was sooo delicious and sooo hard to split them between four people so we each only got one! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'd go back to Aja in a second and might have plans to go back with some friends! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
