When you are scrolling through restaurants near me on a quiet Friday night in Notre-Dame-de-Grace, the sushi options that come up are often generic: fine, but built for volume rather than quality.
Aji Bar Sushi & Izakaya MTL, located at 929 St-Zotique Est in Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie, delivers all the way to NDG. The neighbourhood sits about 7 kilometres from the restaurant, which places it at the edge of our usual delivery zone. This guide explains how to order, what kind of delivery time to expect, and what is genuinely worth having delivered versus picked up.

NDG and Aji: a distance that is covered, but worth checking
Notre-Dame-de-Grace sits about 7 km from the restaurant, making it one of the farthest neighbourhoods Aji delivery reaches. That is not a problem on its own, but it means two practical things for an NDG customer: delivery will take a bit longer than for someone in the Plateau or Rosemont, and availability can shift depending on how busy the kitchen is at that moment.
We will not promise an exact delivery time down to the minute, that would not be honest. In practice, over a distance like this, expect a delivery window longer than the downtown average, especially during peak dinner hours on Friday and Saturday, when the restaurant stays open until 11pm. The most reliable way to know how long it will actually take on a given night is to start the order on PikaPoint: the system shows an estimate based on real-time demand, not a generic average.
Because NDG is at the edge of the coverage area, delivery is occasionally unavailable during the busiest hours. The simple move: enter your NDG address into PikaPoint before browsing the menu, so you know right away whether delivery is active that evening.
How to order from NDG
Ordering happens entirely on PikaPoint, the only active online ordering platform for Aji: order.pikapoint.io/aji-sushi-mtl/menus. The same platform handles both delivery and pickup, so there is no need to compare apps or search elsewhere.
The process is simple: open the link, enter your NDG address to confirm delivery is available at that time, build your order, and pay online. No phone call is required, but for any question before ordering, allergies, a special request, an event, the restaurant is reachable at 514 272 2929.
One detail that helps avoid disappointment: it is better to order earlier in the evening rather than at the last minute if you want to be sure you are served, especially given the extra travel time to NDG.
What travels well in delivery, and what is better in person
Maki, nigiri, sashimi, and poke style bowls travel very well: they are meant to be served cold or at room temperature, and the packaging keeps them intact over a trip like the one to NDG. The same goes for bento boxes and most izakaya dishes served in individual portions, which hold their texture and temperature well over the ride.
Where delivery is a little less generous than eating at the counter is anything built around crispiness at the moment it is served: tempura and other fried dishes lose some of their crunch during transport, even when well packaged. That is not a reason to skip them, just something to keep in mind if crispiness is what you are after, in that case, the counter remains the truest version of the dish.
Either way, the freshness of the fish and the precision of chef Yamamoto's preparation, backed by 30 years of experience, stay the same whether the dish is eaten on site or at home in NDG.
Why choose Aji over a generic option in the area
NDG has access to several sushi delivery options, but most are chains or high volume kitchens built for speed rather than fish quality or precision in the preparation. Aji is a restaurant with an owner-chef at the helm, not a ghost kitchen optimized for throughput.
The restaurant's Google rating, currently 4.5 out of 332 reviews, reflects that approach: a reputation built in the dining room, at the counter, that carries over into what goes out for delivery. Ordering Aji from NDG means receiving the same menu and the same care in preparation as a guest sitting down at the restaurant, simply delivered to your door.
And if you would rather eat in
Delivery remains the most convenient way to discover Aji from NDG without leaving home, but for anyone who changes their mind and wants to sit at the counter, a quick reminder: Aji runs on a BYOB basis, so you can bring your own bottle of wine for a $5 corkage fee per table.
The restaurant is located at 929 St-Zotique Est, open for lunch on weekdays from 11am to 2:30pm, and for dinner from 4:30pm to 10pm Sunday through Thursday, until 11pm on Friday and Saturday.
