Booking Online: The Floor Plan and the Four-Seat Counter

The reserve page shows a visual floor plan, real-time availability, and every seat, including the four counter seats. You pick your time, see where you will sit, and confirm. Two-hour seating.

Booking Online: The Floor Plan and the Four-Seat Counter

Booking a four-seat counter used to mean a phone call and a bit of luck. You called, hoped the seats were free, and sometimes left unsure. Online booking changes that: the floor plan shows exactly what is left, and you decide with full information.

What Online Booking Changes

The heart of the page is the visual plan. Instead of a list of abstract times, you look at the room as it is: the narrow counter facing the chef's board, the dining-room tables, the tatami room for more intimate evenings, and the terrace when the season allows. What is free shows up, and so does what is taken.

That transparency avoids unpleasant surprises. Before you confirm, you know whether you are getting the counter or a table, whether the terrace is open tonight, and how many seats remain at your preferred time.

Reading the Floor Plan

The plan reads the way you walk in. The counter is up front, where the chef works. The dining room fills the heart of the space. The tatami room, set apart, suits dinners that want a little quiet. The terrace only appears in season.

Tap a space to see its seats and the time that works for you. The plan updates availability as reservations come in, so what you see is what is actually open.

Why the counter has only four seatsThe rarity that gives Aji's counter its charm.

Choosing the Four-Seat Counter

The four counter seats are the most requested, especially on weekends. On the plan, select the counter: if seats remain, they are yours. If it is full at your time, the plan points you to a table where the same omakase awaits, or to another slot with the counter open.

For a small group, you can book all four seats together and have the counter to yourselves. Beyond four guests, the dining room or tatami room takes over, always with the chef-composed sequence of pieces.

The Two-Hour Seating

Each reservation allows two hours at the table. That is the time the omakase needs to unfold without rushing: you taste, let your palate breathe between pieces, and talk with the chef at the counter. This window also lets us welcome every guest with the same care, without hurrying anyone.

If you are planning a longer meal for a special occasion, flag it when you book. We will tell you what is possible given the time slot and how busy the evening is.

How do I book a seat at Aji's counter?

Go to the online reservation page. The floor plan shows the four counter seats and their availability in real time. Pick your time slot, select the counter, and confirm. If all four seats are taken, the plan offers you a table with the same omakase.

Does the floor plan really show where I will sit?

Yes. It is a visual plan: the four-seat counter, the dining room, a private tatami room, and a seasonal terrace. You see the open spots and choose the spot that suits you, rather than booking blind.

How long is a reservation?

Seating is two hours. That is enough to enjoy the omakase without rushing, and it lets us welcome every guest at the right pace. For a longer meal, mention it and we will see what is possible.

Can I book the terrace online?

Yes, in season. The terrace appears on the plan as soon as it opens. Because it depends on the weather, its seats open and book day by day: reserve early on fair-weather evenings.

Do I need an account to book?

No. A few details are enough: date, time, number of guests, and a way to reach you. Confirmation arrives right away. Bring your own wine if you like, corkage is 5$ per table.
