Ajisai, an all-you-can-eat sushi and noodle joint that’s taking over the former Shells Seafood at 2101 E. Fowler Ave will be opening summer 2023, if everything goes smoothly with the city, says owner Wen Zheng.
According to Zheng, the restaurant will offer its all-you-can-eat smorgasbord at two prices – one for lunch and one for dinner.
Ajisai is the work of Wen and wife Joy, who opened the first two outposts in New York City before relocating to Raleigh, North Carolina 2014 and opening another location there.
According to the brand’s website, “Ajisai Restaurant lavishes palates in quality Japanese fare. The eponymous dish arrives in many forms, from mango-wrapped to spicy to brimming with different fish. Each looks as unique as it tastes, too, thanks to chefs’ artful application of multicolored roe, different sauces, and fastidiously sliced fillets.”
