Ajihei’s storefront sign appeared unceremoniously on Knickerbocker Avenue a few months ago. Passersby might have curiously peered in its darkened windows and thought it was just one more of the neighborhood’s tasty takeout options. But, Ajiehi has a history longer than just the few short months it has been on Bushwick’s restaurant radar.
