Aji Mori House sits on Ventura Boulevard in Woodland Hills, where chef Ogi Jiimen, who has spent close to 15 years working in Japanese cuisine, runs an eight-course Edomae sushi omakase. The restaurant's name combines "aji," meaning flavor, and "mori," meaning forest, and the space is built around a 22-seat counter with a separate private room available for groups.
The omakase experience is offered specifically on Friday and Saturday at 5:30 and 8:00 pm, according to the restaurant's own booking pages, while the kitchen is open nightly except Monday for à la carte service, with earlier openings on Tuesday through Thursday. Each seating runs about two hours. A sake pairing accompanies the tasting menu, and the English-language menu and moderate difficulty level make it approachable for diners newer to omakase as well as regulars. Dress code is smart casual.
Reservations go through OpenTable, and the restaurant recommends booking at least two days ahead given the limited counter seating. Pricing sits in the luxury tier, consistent with a multi-course tasting format built around fish and other ingredients sourced with an eye toward quality and seasonality. Next door, an attached speakeasy-style lounge offers à la carte dishes and cocktails and can be booked separately for private events.
For diners planning a visit, the combination of counter seating, a dedicated private room, and structured omakase seating times on weekends suggests this is a restaurant built for advance planning rather than walk-ins, particularly for the Friday and Saturday tasting menu slots.
