    By far one of the best Sushi restaurants I have been to AND I’ve been to many around the world. The service was great, waiter made recommendations (spot on), food quality excellent as well as the flavor.

    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.

    Had a reservation at 7. We were sat and attended right away. The ambience was great for our date night. Music was playing a bit loud. Food was delicious. Portions were on the smaller side. Other than that, it was a great place.
