    Great food. Christine was a great waitress and very friendly. The drinks were amazing and the Denver wagyu was delicious, rolls and chicken breast was tender.

    6 Stars if could! This is my new home for sushi and a great time any day of the week. The food is amazing. Every plate that came out had that fresh high class presentation that made it even more delicious. My top 2 favorites are the Bluefin toro sashimi and believe it or not edamame. Food is important but to me more the ambiance, atmosphere and friendliness of staff. That is why I will always keep coming back. The manager, servers, and chefs all know how to have a great time and make it a memorable experience. We felt so comfortable with everyone that we stayed after dinner for drinks and kept the night going. We ordered 3 different bottles of sake that were recommended by our server. He took the time to ask us what taste we were looking for and narrowed it down. Thanks to him we found a new favorite sake and it didn't break the bank. (5 bottles later lol) Very unique restaurant design that complements all the artwork throughout. Wherever you sit you will have the same experience. Looking forward to our next visit!

    How to date night out with my hubby! He took me to Azabu! Which is the perfect setting for a date night.... I definitely will be coming back with friends !!! The ambience is so perfect for a romantic dinner!!! The food is amazing. The quality is so perfect. My only complaint is the rice was a tad a bit soggy and a little bit on the vinegary side. For the class in the price point, I was expecting better, it's really important to get sushi rice perfect or it kind of ruins the dish. The service was amazing. There was one guy working two full rolls of tables and he was fast and efficient. He gave out the best pointers, and he gave out the best suggestions for drinks. He was super friendly, super motivated. You can tell he really liked his job. For a packed night they were fast and efficient! I suggest this place and I cannot wait to come back !!!.
