The restaurant…read moreitself is small, but I went for a late lunch around 2pm so didn't have any trouble getting a table. The menu has quite the variety and so many unique options (baked sushi?!). I got the Hawaiian Poke Sushi bowl and the Baked Scallop California roll to share. I'm used to being disappointed by the portions of poke bowls at sit-down restaurants, but this bowl did not disappoint. The bowl had a generous portion of tuna and everything was so fresh. For the scallop roll, there was a large baked scallop on each piece of sushi. I thought having something warm on sushi might be odd, but it was delicious! I'm still thinking about this meal and need to go back soon!

Most of it is fried rolls, which is ok, and the nigiri and sashimi options are limited. To my surprise the sushi burrito is SO good! It has a great ratio of meat to rice (very little, at that) and it's fresh and yummy. I really enjoyed it despite being a sushi snob. The salmon sashimi also is not fishy whatsoever and is buttery and soft. Yum!

But since it was just me, I opted for seating at the bar. There are 2 bars at this location--one at the drink bar and one at the sushi bar. The drinks are VERY good, and the bartenders are very receptive to your orders and all. Ambiance was good--not too dark, just right. Very chic. I ordered a LOT. Several pieces of sushi, chicken karage (which I saw people post pics of, and that's what convinced me to check it out.), Japanese curry, and some other sashimi and little burgers. They were all fantastic! The chicken karage was the big hit--so delicious you can taste it thru the pictures. The curry wasn't spicy at all, but seeing as it's Japanese style, it's more on the savory and tasty side, not on the spicy side. Overall very delicious. The wagyu sashimi was VERY long (that's what she said), so eating one piece whole isn't recommended. Chew it, then swallow. The mini burgers were everything you love about Japanese takes on purpose burgers. Done perfectly, with that amazing bbq grill taste, too. The sushi was fresh and tasted amazing. My only gripe is that their ordering system is odd; you can only order so many pieces of food per order number. There are order limits, but it's setup such that the kitchen doesn't get overwhelmed. That being said, your orders usually come out pretty quickly. I highly recommend this place!

The service was fine, and they changed our grill proactively. Just a heads-up: since the drinks are served in stainless steel cups, the staff can't see if you're running low on water.

Upon entering, you're greeted with what feels like an authentic Japanese garden - very cool design. On a Friday night, there was no wait and we were seated immediately. You have the option to order directly from your phone - scan the QR code, view the menu, and order, and pay. Either way, after looking over the menu, we decided on Chicken Fried Rice, a Salmon Roll, and Cheese Wontons. Everything looked appetizing, but lacked any true flavor - bland and blah. Overall, this was a forgettable experience.

The fish is always super fresh, delicious & served in generous portions. The prices aren't the cheapest, but you're definitely paying for quality.

They're always super fresh & I've never left disappointed. I recommend sticking with the sashimi or tonkatsu. Their ramen is just mediocre, so I'd avoid it.

The first thing I noticed when entering the establishment, was that the decor and ambiance hit from a very cool angle ( and the outside area views definitely set things off and enhanced the experience that much more ! ) As I familiarized myself with the Asian infused menu ( Japanese cuisine ) and opted to try the snow crab fried rice... and this was definitely a decision I won't regret ever !! The minute I set my eyes on the meal, I was instantly impressed because you could see chunks of snow crab meat loaded on top of the rice. From my very first forkful I was all in.... The texture and flavor of the rice left my tastebuds in total awe. And the way the rice and crab meat merged together in a form of flavor filled euphoria made me want to personally hug the chef to show my gratitude. I was up against the clock... but my next outing to Azumi I promised myself I would sit down comfortably and take it all in ! Upscale Vibrant Location on the Bmore Harbor that everyone should try at least once ! Amazing Food... Amazing Service... And such an Amazing Scenery !!!

I'm sad to write a review for a friend who personally sought me out to tell me about their…read moreexperience this weekend when the visited to celebrate her husband's birthday. I haven't dined here before and might have heard of Azumi but I'm not too sure. She mentioned the portions sizes were small and her fish entree only came with miso dipping sauce and no other sides. Their server didn't inform them of this when originally ordering so she had to order additional sides after their entrees came. They also ordered wagyu fried rice and wagyu air fried rice (what's that?) She did say the fish was good but they all left hungry. These entrées, two cocktails plus two reg bevs came to over $200. The price wasn't a problem however they felt the value when it comes to quantity and price, left them looking for more. They choose Azumi for her husband's 60th birthday celebration and had to ask the server about how they would celebrate him since the check was about to arrive and nothing had happened. Their server asked if they were ordering something from the dessert menu and my friend declined. The server then came back with a small bowl of ice cream on top of a block of ice and three spoons . . . . She said they were all surprised and basically laughed at the "birthday" treat before them and how they were supposed to share the palm sized ice cream. She said multiple times they wouldn't go back and how disappointed her husband was with his birthday dinner experience while telling me the story. SMH I felt bad and asked her why she didn't ask me for a suggestion because yall know, we know who won't disappoint. She also didn't take any pics and I scolded her about that lol. I may have to fully recruit her to the Yelp family so she can do her research first although she stated her husband seen them on Tik Tok or IG. I have learned from that as well.

STAY AWAY. Absolutely horrible service!!!…read more Our server, Nye, was incredibly rude & the whole AYCE experience felt like a complete rip-off. He repeatedly gave our orders to other tables & when we complained and tried to order more food, he told us we COULDN'T order anything else until our missing orders arrived. Except THEY NEVER CAME!!! After waiting 20+ minutes, we complained again and Nye gave us such a rude and condescending tone and response: "We have other customers too ya know." Seriously?! WE'RE CUSTOMERS TOO, ya douche bag. It got so ridiculous that 38 MINUTES into our meal, our table of FOUR had received a grand total of TWO plates of meat - even those were the plates we had to take from the neighboring table because our food kept getting sent elsewhere. And here's the kicker: AYCE is only 90 MINUTES. More than 1/3 of our allotted dining time was basically wasted waiting for food that never came, while our server wouldn't even let us order more. We only FINALLY started receiving our meat after we complained to the Vietnamese manager. He immediately stepped in, got things moving & extended our dining time to make up for the ridiculous delay. Shout out to him!!! But having to escalate to a manager just to receive the food we were PAYING FOR is absurd. And maybe Nye felt like he didn't have to bother because the gratuity was already automatic due to our party size. That would certainly explain the complete lack of effort. When your tip is guaranteed regardless of how badly you treat the table, I guess actually serving your customers becomes optional? STAY AWAY or at the very least, pray you don't get Nye as your server.

We tried/recs: - Niku miso (5/5): top rec, loved this one! Not one of their most popular (according to our waitress), but I really enjoyed it. Flavorful, just the right texture, 2 different types of pork, and a raw egg to mix in. - Karaage curry don (4.5/5): my mom really liked the chicken & curry in this, I was surprised! It was filling, though it doesn't look huge at first glance! Lots of rice at the bottom. - Gyoza (4.5/5): tasty, small appetizer. Comes w/ 6 pcs.
