    Service - Nice people all around! We had the first reservation of the night at 4:30 pm. It was bit…read moreawkward for them to tell us to choose where we would've wanted to sit. We ended up sitting next to the wine fridge and got to interact with anyone who came by to grab a bottle from the selection they had. Food - Since this is curated menu and will constantly change, you will have to come with an open mind to try anything. Please notify your server if you have a food allergy; they were very accommodating to my table with my food allergy and notified the kitchen staff to not cross contaminate. The food was good and it was fun to be surprised with the menu of the day. We had a curry soup, hamachi crudo, surf & turf, and a chocolate dessert. Bill - this was the downfall for the night. Out of the 4 items on the bill, 3 of them were wrong. The price was listed on the menu but the charge on the bill was more; I called ahead to know the corkage fee (which i was told was $35) was charged $45; I also was charged for an extra glass of wine when ordered only one. Be diligent when reviewing the final check of the night. On to my next adventure....

    Base my reviews off what you pay:…read more Price - $200+ Food - 5/5 - super eclectic but well thought out. Service - 5/5 - knowledgeable and go above and beyond. Ambiance - 4/5 - nice mix of upscale modern. Overall - 5/5 - the price is hefty no doubt but if you are open to trying super interesting dishes that you would never think of, this is the place. Very unsuspecting place as well. Guys that work here are awesome, friendly, they all come around, head chef greets every table and they know a ton about their dishes. Inside is nice as well. One of my favorite spots on LI but you have to be open-minded for sure. Besh Dish - tasting menu

    Heard about Chop Shop Bar & Grill's Happy Hour and decided to check it out and I'm glad I did…read more We were immediately warmly welcomed to Chop Shop by Dave who escorted us to the bar ( my request) where again we were warmly welcomed by Ashley the barmaid. Ashley also recommended some excellent Happy Hour menu selections. Started off with the glazed brussel sprouts, Edemane and sushi as nd finished up with the dry aged sliders. All were cooked to perfection with the spring rolls and sliders my favorite. Capped off the evening with cappuccino and Irish Coffee ( requested and served with Tullamore Dew ). While enjoying my Irish Coffee Dave came around asking how everything was. Learned he was the restaurant manager and he informed me of the Chop Shop's weekly specials including the Thursday Date Night Fixed Price Menu which I will definitely be taking advantage of. Restaurant offers both table and bar service with a welcoming and friendly staff. Street parking limited but there is additional parking available in the rear parking lot off Landing Avenue along with a rear entrance to the restaurant. Overall a great neighborhood restaurant serving great good and drinks at reasonable pricing.

    Please BEWARE!!!!!! I had one of the word dining experiences…read moreof my life at this restaurant last Friday evening. While eating, I suddenly suffered a painful tongue laceration on my tongue caused buy something sharp in my food. This was not a minor event as ended up in the ER and required to follow up with an oral surgeon. No one goes to dinner expecting to leave needing medical treatment. What is truly unacceptable is the restaurants complete lack of concern afterwards. I made them aware of what happened, and despite the seriousness of the injury, the showed no accountability and no willingness to compensate. They told me they would not compensate for any of the medical bills that I have incurred. This raises serious concerns about their food safety standards, and how they treat customers when things go wrong. In this case their was clearly wrong doing on their part. I would STRONGLY caution others before dining here!!!

    If I could give Aji 53 more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! From the moment you walk in, the vibe…read morehits you sleek, modern, and just the right touch of upscale without being stuffy. The lighting, the music, the whole ambience screams "you're about to have a great night." The service here is top-notch. Everyone is super friendly, attentive without hovering, and genuinely seems to enjoy being part of the experience. Our server knew the menu inside and out and gave amazing recommendations, which is how I ended up discovering what might be the best roll I've ever had in my life (the Aji 53 Roll, obviously). The sushi itself? Absolute perfection. Every piece looked like it came straight off a magazine cover -- fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. You can taste the quality and the craftsmanship in every bite. Even the appetizers and cocktails were on point, the spicy edamame and lychee martini combo had me hooked before the main event even arrived. What I love most is the energy here, whether you're out for date night, a group dinner, or just treating yourself, Aji 53 makes it feel special. The staff pays attention to the little things: your drink never runs empty, dishes come out at the perfect pace, and they always check in to make sure you're smiling (and you will be). By the end of the meal, I found myself saying, "Why am I not here every week?" Aji 53 isn't just another sushi spot, it's an experience. From the décor to the food to the service, they nail it across the board. If you're anywhere near Smithtown and love sushi (or even if you think you don't), trust me. make a reservation, show up hungry, and thank me later.

    My family and I like this restaurant a lot. The inside decor is great and most important the sushi…read moreis quality
