Alas the storefront is a health store now. Still have 2 locations in Cali and of course HK where it originated. https://www.ajiichibansnacks.com/

The original Hong Kong headquarter closed all 20 Hong Kong stores in June due to the severe (and widely criticized) lockdown. Hopefully they (and the NY licensee store) will come back as business recovers.
A family friend used to be part owner of the Mott Street store (franchised from HK headquarter) but later pulled out (most of the snacks were not unique to Aji and the licensing was expensive). He opened his own knockoff store on Main Street Flushing in 2007 or earlier, but it closed during the pandemic.

Miss the jerkys the most, can find them packaged in supermarkets, but so expensive.

🙁 Ah well, there’ll be other snack stores. Flushing, maybe.
