Best Authentic Restaurants in Port Arthur

Lovely ambience to dine in with fresh foods which define the experience are only in competition with the genuine air of hospitality in the attentive service. Trust the staff to guide your selections if unfamiliar with the Persian offerings. And while I’m not a man of favorites… two appetizers are a must. Grilled Shrimp: garlic, black pepper, saffron, jalapeno feta cream sauce. Extraordinary. Kibbeh Nayyeh (Lamb Tartare). Unknown to my experience prior to Rumi’s. Stunning dish enjoyed with raw onion and juice of lime… Wauw.

The ambiance and music at Azumi are a lot of fun for a date night, girls’ night out, or a group of friends. We started with the Hanayome and Two Moons cocktails. Their espresso martinis are also top notch. For appetizers we stuck with the classics; crispy rice with spicy tuna and yellowtail & Serrano. We tried the Spicy Yellowtail, Tuna Tataki and San Rolls - the Spicy Yellowtail was our favorite! I believe the onion Serrano salsa is what made it pop. We also tried the tuna tasting (nigiri) and the Miso Cod. Everything was spaced out which gave us time to enjoy and catch up. They treated us to delicious peanut butter brownies with Vietnamese coffee gelato for dessert since we were celebrating three birthdays! Very sweet and a nice touch to end the meal.

We had a wonderful experience. Service was very on point and timeliness was perfect. Our server was amazing, friendly and provided awesome service. The food was sooo delicious. Everything was fantastic, including the drinks and desserts. The ambience is great. I took my sister for her birthday and she had such a great time. Most of all I appreciate how kind everyone was and amazing food and ambience.

Outstanding server, Ben. Very knowledgeable, calm, attentive but not overbearing. Food was great. Pulpo was spectacular. Panacotta was too. Good price on wines. I am ready to return. Was there for late lunch which I would recommend.

Juan provided exceptional service! He was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and attentive throughout our visit. Thank you for making our experience truly memorable!
