The service was terrible alongside the food itself being even worse, and extremely overpriced. The sushi at Kroger tastes better. Music was very loud and it was very hard to have a conversation. read more

Aja is above average Chinese fusion for the panhandle but the prices discourage repeat customers. I live locally and love Rosemary. For the same price I could visit any of the 5 star restaurants that aren't in a strip mall. The happy hour menu always looked appealing but the inconvenience of having to sit on the patio near the highway discourages us from taking advantage. It's a good one and done experience if you live here and are just curious why it's so pricey. read more

Just walked in at 7pm to put in a to go order. The host actually denied our business. Can't make 6 rolls and miso soup? Never heard of that before. Screw this place! read more

The reviews are so hit or miss lol so I had to try for myself! Only thing I would NOT recommend is the veggie spring rolls, they are so much dough and no filling. Things would recommend are tuna tartar, tuna carpaccio, yellowtail jalapeño, cucumber sashimi, American tuna roll, shrimp tempura roll, eel avocado roll, edamame. AMAZING! read more

Favorite sushi on 30a! Great service and our go to spot for occasions! The tuna carpaccio and lychee martinis are a must!

I felt the food was over priced for what we got. I got the chicken and shrimp fried rice. My chicken was very tough and I only had two shrimp. I did not like having all the vegetables in there which were not in the description on the menu so I didn't know to ask to have them removed- expected more rice for a dish with rice in the name. The dumplings and edamame appetizers were good. Friends had been there previously and said it was good- however, some of them were with me tonight and agreed the dish was not very good. We had the same thing. Maybe it was a different chef or a bad night. Server was great, although I did have to look around and ask for someone to get my water refilled. Ambiance was fine- doesn't really matter to me if I am not loving my food. read more

I love this place. The owner is very nice and the service is incredible! Food...amazing and flavorful! Wine selection is outstanding. The ambiance is trendy and vibrant, don't come for a quiet dinner. Come for fun! Highly recommend! read more

The ambiance is beautiful and the service was excellent. The food is always delicious and beautifully plated. Always enjoy our special nights here. read more

I had such high hopes for this restaurant. Finally, some real genuine Asian food. That was dashed the second we walked in the door. We are local, and live down the street. We understand seasonality so we made sure to go in early. The hostess acted like he had committed 3rd degree homicide for not having a reservation. Amigos next door doesn't treat you like that. By the bar they had tons of tables with "reserved on them" which were actually not. How do I know this? Well we were sat at the bar and between the food and drinks being delayed, we sat there for two hours. Not a single table came in. Are you creating false demand? I mean I get the idea, but you need to have the food, drink and service to back it up. So silly they let 5 tables sit for 2 hours. I even went online and checked and there were open slots so the hostess just lied. Moving on. After the hostess got over the shock of not having a reservation (outside was wide open as was the bar) we sat at the bar. There were 3 bar tenders. We got our first round fast. My drink was one that needed to be shaken. I've never paid 19 bucks for a more Luke warm drink in my life. I should have sent it back, but the bar tender did not come back for 42 minutes. I clocked it. So my wife and I just put our drinks back. No water refills. Finally he came back and we put a second round in and finally our food. After waiting another 20 minutes we got our second round of drinks, I got a sidecar, and again, Luke cold at best! How can you charge that money when you can't even add the right amount of ice to the shaker to make it the right temp? I mean you can literally feel it as a bartender- I bartended for years in Tallahassee. Shake until you can't feel your fingers. Anyways, yeah, the drinks sucked. Now for the food. Mediocre at best. We made sure to try the sushi, a app, and two entrees. The sushi rice seemed like they pulled it from Publix sushi isle. Dry. Falling off. The app was the dumping and the portion was abysmal. Flavor was extremely lacking. Now for entrees, I got the king pao chicken after the server told me the pork belly "wasn't good" (nice touch) and my wife got the curry. It's curry. Hot do you make bland curry? I don't know, but Aja30a does. I get it, there's a ton of tourists and putting a little "spice" may be too much for these elderly northerners, but don't forget your local foodie base. They are what will keep you afloat during off season. Which leads me to my entree. The king pao. It was actually "decent" but it wasn't 30 bucks decent. It was Panda Express decent. Literally. I've gotten the same looking and tasting king pao from hole in the wall fast food Chinese restaurants. Overall my bill was over 250 for 2 hours of bad service, Luke warm drinks, food that took forever on a slow day, lied to, and ate bland/downright not good food. I love supporting local, and I get you're in a expensive location (I know how much rent is there thru another restaurant) but if you want to justify those prices, you need to step your game up. Everywhere. Oh, the inside had a nice ambiance. That's it. We won't return until we see improvement. If you want better food, that's cheaper, sushi rice so fluffy you could sleep on it, drive 1 minute down the road to Shaka and be treated correctly, served correctly, and actually enjoy your meal. Again I'm giving it 1 star only because the look, layout and ambiance was nice sans the hostess. I know the pictures "look" good, but when you're served warm drinks and cold food it really detracts. Just like the last restaurant that was in this location, if they don't pivot, they'll go under as well. read more

Aja 30A - One of my many Luke warm drinks. Look how there's 0 condensation on the glass even with the doors open. - Desserts Near Me - Inlet Beach, Florida

Food was just ok. Almost spending 450$ for five people is ridiculous. Ambiance is fine. Only two desserts both of which are not very good. Sushi is ridiculously overpriced for imitation crab and soggy rice. Would never come back. read more

As always - our experience last night was nothing short of amazing. We usually reserve this place as our go-to date night. We haven't been in a couple of months but last night we got to try new items added to the "feature" menu. The brussel sprouts were the star of the show! Along with the Thai tea crème brûlée. I made it a point to tell the GM as well as Chef Matt that they needed to be added to the main dinner menu. We had such a great experience that we made it a point (while still eating) to make a reservation for New Year Eve dinner. If you're looking for an upscale Asian dining experience, you won't regret giving this place a try. read more

This place is off the hook amazing!! Best Asian fusion mix on or around 30A!! Drinks, food, and staff are all exceptional and the vibe ( relaxing club ) makes you want to linger!! Maggie at the bar & Chef Matt aims to please! Also have very nice specials! :)) read more

Absolutely worst experience! One and 1/2 hours with no food! Owner didn't come by to explain until we complained. Waitress and owner just made excuses instead of apologizing! Kept promising food which came out all wrong! I would definitely not recommend spoilt our whole night! read more

THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!! We were there for 3 hours and never got food!!! Had to pay for our small appetizer that we had when we arrived and then we sat for hours with nothing else. The workers were hollering at each other and the owner kept promising us food in minutes. The owner was also walking around drinking and handing out with friends while the madness was going on. Never got a thing. We finally left starving at 10pm. read more

Service is horrible. Took an hour and a half for food to come after ordering and wait staff never came by the table to apologize for delay or offer refills. read more

We ordered kung pao chicken, Thai red curry, and 5 spice Chinese duck and all of it was amazing. Best food I had in rosemary beach. The duck was cooked right. The level of spice in all the dishes was perfect. Loved it! read more

Food was good but service was not the greatest. They forgot half my husbands order, the waiter was very nice and apologized bc he had put the order in. We spent almost $300 for an ok experience. read more

Beautiful atmosphere. Upscale dining. Indoor seating adult only. Lovely outdoor family seating. America tuna roll, Thai basil chicken, and crispy pork belly ramen were all DELICIOUS and beautifully presented. read more

Everything always goes well... spicy food, good drinks, great staff. A true gem along 30A .

The bartender Armine was very knowledgeable of the menu and her customer service was excellent. She made me and my friend amazing cocktails I'll definitely be back when I'm in town again! read more

My friend and I decided to try out the recently opened (NewYears Eve 2022?) Aja for happy hour / dinner last night. I had looked at reviews and was skeptical because of some reviews talking about the loud music and high prices. It is a bit pricey, but not more that most places on 30A. The food was DELICIOUS! The flavors of each dish were delightful and truly works of art. We chose several items from the $10 happy hr menu and one from the dinner menu as we were there around 5pm. The music was not in your face loud and for someone who is sensitive to loud or noisy places, I actually found it enjoyable and not so loud I felt I had to talk over it to be heard. We had fun interactions with the manager Armine who was delightful and filled us in on their concept and plans for expanding the menu and services coming up. The atmosphere is a mix of upscale sophistication and beach wave vibes. Ver4y enjoyable overall! read more

Talk about an exceptional Date Night - WOW! The decor/ambiance was lux, and food was fresh & creative. Great cocktails, cool vibe and the owner was welcoming & kind. Would definitely return, and bring friends next time We had the sichuan pepper steak & tuna carpaccio - both were delicious and a must try. read more

Food was "ok" but service was horrible - sat for 30 min before someone came to take our drink order. One soy sauce ramekin for the table (party of 6) and took our plates and didn't replace...few other hiccups. Would not go back or recommend. read more

The service was impeccable from the hostess down to our server. The hostess recommended a cucumber roll for our 8 year old which she absolutely loved. Coming from Atlanta, we have been wanting to check this place out as we loved going to the Aja in Buckhead. Unfortunately, the food was a major let down and everything was overpriced for sub par items. The ramen was pitiful. The broth looked like rice water and it tasted like it as well. We're accustomed to ramen from miso and jinya in Atlanta which I was hoping it was comparable to. The noodles weren't the right type either. The assorted sashimi was okay. They give you one piece of clam and scallop and cut them into tinier portions. For $48, I was extremely disappointed and let down. The drink menu could be better but it is what it is. Wouldn't recommend going back and would be better off going to a beach seafood restaurant. For a place that states it's elevated, the food does not reflect the title. read more

Excellent quality and very fast service. Went here with my family and we enjoyed everything we got. Restaurant also had a great environment. 10/10 would highly recommend read more

Had a fabulous dinner tonight. Sushi was fantastic and the Thai Tea Cream Brûlée was the best dish of the night. A must restaurant on 30A!!!! read more

Couisin is well balanced and thought through. Service is a bit lacking of knowledge, but can tell it's due to training. 3 of you, please quit chomping on gum like a cow constantly. I will be back due to the chef!! Hopefully I don't see anymore "chompers"! read more

Excellent service! Bar tender one of the best! Food is amazing! Ate there 3 nights in a row and would go back for dumplings and lychee Martines every night. read more

The only thing "Elevated" about Aja Elevated Asian is the price! I've had far better Asian food from local take-out places in strip malls. The sushi was okay - nothing special. The cocktails were pretty, but mine was really bitter. My daughter's fried rice tasted like someone accidentally spilled too much black pepper in it... and yet it still tasted bland... just peppery. The Kung Pao chicken had way too much sauce, and it was so rich I almost got sick. My mother's salmon was swimming in Miso soup - it was weird. Now add to this that the prices are basically triple what you would pay for better, non "elevated" Asian food. Typical 30A... mediocre food at ridiculously high prices. read more

Delicious cuisine. Exceptional staff that Tom and Chef Ito have assembled. Thank you Armine and Kay Kay (sp?) for making Aja a highlight of our visit to 30A. We will be back and we hope to see you again. read more

The food was okay, nothing special. The workers were nice sometimes but not very accommodating. The music was terrible as well. Just an "okay" restaurant. Prices were extremely high for a small amount of food that was again, mediocre. read more

Stopped by at 5:40 pm to order takeout. Not busy, nobody waiting and said to the hostess (who was friendly) I wanted to order takeout. She walked over to the bar where there was only 3 people sitting and asked a blonde lady if we could do a takeout order...and was dismissively told NO! I'm a local and have frequented this restaurant for takeout many times (in off season)...but never again! I would completely understand if they were covered up and busy, but they weren't. I'll take my overpriced food addiction to the many other choices on 98/30A! read more

Enjoyed everything about this place. Food was amazing, service was top-notch and the ambiance was amazing!

Loved the avocado salad and the dumplins. So amazing. The Melon cocktail was so smooth that I can't wait to come back for some great flavors. Outdoor dining is great with fountain. It has a full sushi bar. read more

The food is to die for, we came and ordered every app on the happy hour menu and it was all a 10/10. The service was incredible and staff was great! We got to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. If you're on the fence about coming here let this be your sign to come! Will be back very soon!!!!! read more

Came for the 4-6 happy hour. We ordered every app off the happy hour menu and it was absolutely delicious! We will be back to try the dinner menu very soon!! read more

Paid $35 for fried rice with dark meat that costs half that everywhere else on earth.

Aja 30A was amazing!! Chef Tom, the food, drinks and entire staff was awesome. We will be back!!!!

The food was not good and way overpriced. Our server was good, but everyone's food came out at totally different times, so half the table was done eating when the other half's food arrived. This place won't last long, so if you want to go, better hurry before it's too late. read more

Will never go again. My mom has lived in the area for 30 years and I've visited every year. This was a newer establishment and so I wanted to take my mom and family to try it out. We couldn't make reservations for 7 people per the website so we showed up at opening. We were told we couldn't sit inside without reservations so would need to sit outside in the heat because they were booked up. The hostess, with a sassy attitude, explained I could make reservations online. I explained that their site wouldn't allow me to make reservations for 7 people so we had no other option. I asked if I could make two reservations, one for a table of 3 and one table of 4, just so we could sit inside. Nope. Again told they were booked up. So we proceed to sit outside at high top tables on flimsy high plastic wobbly chairs with my 80 year old parents in the sweltering heat. Meanwhile, no other customers were there. Food was overpriced and not great. 45 minutes in and still no other customers. They absolutely could have seated us inside. After spending $300 for our apps, meals and drinks, we left feeling very upset we chose this place to spend our money and time. Our server on the other hand was pleasant. This was our experience and one that will not have us coming back or recommending to others. read more
