Hi! My name is Ai. I grew up in Japan, helping my mother in the kitchen ever since I was a little kid, watching and learning as she cooked away. My food reflects my background and roots, looking back fondly at meals I created with my mom, as well as reflecting the experiences I've had over years of traveling around the U.S. and the world. My dishes are Vegetarian and/or Pescaterian. My husband Mat and I built a small farm on our loft rooftop a few years ago and we grow many of the vegetables, greens and herbs I use in the cooking, including the Japanese staple herb, shiso! I select other choice ingredients at the green markets and other quality sources around NYC and beyond. We are very conscious about food, the environment and health. Our tasty meals are well balanced and full of pronounced and subtle flavors. Flavor and nutrition is what it's about and should not be mutually exclusive. If you want to experience a unique flavor palette and quality ingredients, then this is the place! Please send me a message if you would like to setup private party. Here is my facebook page to follow upcoming events and view more pictures! https://www.facebook.com/ajitofood

Ai offers a very unique and delicious experience in her eclectic apartment. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the table was set beautifully. Ai is a self taught chef who takes great care in preparing and presenting her tasting menu - all locally sourced from the farmers market. The value for the cost is exceptional and everything was delicious. By far, the best EatWith experience I have had yet!

Walking into Ai’s apartment is like a hug from an old friend. The lighting, the space, the ambiance is so welcoming and warm. The food was DELICIOUS, 3 Michelin star quality and presentation. Ai is very sweet, and her kombucha is great! I could easily see myself as a repeat guest at her table. You’ll end the night with new friends :) Tip - We grabbed two bottles of wine from Uva’s. If you’re not huge into seafood this is a safe menu because nothing will be profoundly “fishy”.
