    Ignacio, the manager, was a delight. Our experience on Thanksgiving day was wonderful. The food was amazing and so was the presentation. We were going to be seated on the patio, but the manager was kind enough to seat us inside instead. Ignacio brought my mother an alcoholic beverage for her birthday and even brought her a slice of birthday cake. The souvenir lavender candle was also very thoughtful. We would definitely come back again. This was a good choice to spend our holiday brunch there.

    It was our first time there, and it will not be our last. The food was phenomenal. The handmade pasta was superb. Excellent cocktails, too. Our server, Jonte, was gregarious and so engaging. Can't wait to go back, and also to take the pasta making class!

    Azabu is our go to for date night. The service is always great and the food is amazing. Highly recommend the Peruvian scallops, shishito peppers, carpaccio yellowtail and grilled octopus. The drinks are consistent and delicious, we will continue to visit and wouldn’t mind eating here weekly.

    SUPER IMPRESSED!!! Can’t wait to be back! The food were amazing. Our server were great as well. I believe his name is Michael. The service provided elevated our experience tonight. To the point I had to write this glowing review right away. We did the pre fixed menu. Out of everything the Tteok & Grilled King’s Cut Short Rib were the highlight of our dinner. We would come back just for those two items. Thank you for a great night!!!
