Restaurant Review: Aja Pacific Kitchen

Melina writes: Although we've been to several restaurants lately (Arabian Breeze, Matanza, Bridgeport Gasthaus), I will always have a special place in my heart for Aja because it's the first place where I actually had a dish ordered for me. Oatmeal! And not that gross just-add-water oatmeal that comes in cardboard boxes, but real creamy, hot oatmeal in a real bowl. Mama fed it to me on the handle end of a spoon, despite my efforts to feed it to myself. And it was hot! Temperature adds a whole new dimension to food, doesn't it? Why didn't someone tell me before? I also liked the fried potatoes, which I was allowed to feed myself. I think I got some fried onions too. Good stuff! One nice thing about this restaurant is that the acoustics really amplify your squeals, especially after the breakfast rush is over and there aren't many people around. Also, the waitress didn't pick up our dishes right away so there was plenty to play with in between bites.
