    We had an excellent experience at Azumi while celebrating my husband’s belated birthday! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make the evening special. The ambiance was elegant and perfect for a celebratory dinner. The food was absolutely phenomenal — each dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The sushi was some of the best we’ve ever had, and the cocktails were crafted to perfection. What stood out the most was the exceptional service. The team was attentive, friendly, and made sure every detail was taken care of. They even added thoughtful touches to make my husband’s birthday extra memorable. Thank you, Azumi, for an unforgettable evening. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion!

    Everything was very nice. The food was amazing and the service we received was top notch. We were there for a special occasion and were treated so well. The chef was fun and it was the best hibachi type food you’ll eat. The noise level is high. With the fans and the room. It’s hard to make it quiet. But worth it.

    Food was excellent. We were there at 3pm on a Saturday and there was only one server in the entire restaurant. He was dealing with impatient people, being double and triple-sat multiple times while we were there, and 10+ tables all on his own. So, overall, the service was slow. But, given the circumstances, our server deserves a medal! He was friendly, upbeat, and as attentive as humanly possible with more than 10 tables on his own.
