Came here to celebrate hubby's birthday. The restaurant is beautifully decorated inside and the…read moreservice is really top notch. It was our first time there. We picked the middle tier option. We thought it was a little pricey but the quality of meats was very good. And the amount of food you get was really a lot and this is coming from a heavy hitter at AYCE restaurants. They also included dessert. I only wish they allowed for AYCE options AND à la carte options, like Gyuzo Japanese BBQ in Rockville. It turns out they're owned by the same company. You must come very hungry to get your money's worth.

I came for a Saturday night date. It was a great place. Came on a afternoon. I saw that you may…read moreneed a reservation but they will accept walk-ins. When I looked online, there was no availabilities so decided to chance it and come anyway. I am so glad that I did. Inside looks amazing. Really sets the mood for an enjoyable night. If you like Japanese barbecue, you will love it. They have many different tears that you can purchase. Starting at 68 and going away up to over 100. You can also choose to add unlimited sushi for an additional five dollars. That was definitely worth the add on. They give you full sushi rolls and not just a couple of pieces. They will limit you to a maximum of 15 items you can order and one time. It seems like a lot, but that also includes your appetizers and sizes. There is also a 10 minute cooldown between orders. Overall, the experience is excellent. Not a place you would come frequently but for an occasional night out, it is great. I am interested in coming in one day just to check out the bar scene. As we were leaving, it looked pretty lively over there.

Izakaya 68 on Shawan Road absolutely nails the feel of a real Japanese Izakaya. The atmosphere is…read morewarm, lively, and authentic--exactly what you'd expect if you stepped into a neighborhood spot in Japan. One of the highlights (especially for families) is the robot cat servers. They're a hit with everyone at the table, from kids to adults, and they genuinely add to the fun without feeling gimmicky. The food is excellent and checks all the Izakaya boxes: yakitori, gyoza, and my personal favorite--takoyaki--are all done right. On top of that, they also offer sushi, ramen, and full entrée dishes, so there's something for every appetite. Drink options are just as solid, with Japanese sodas, green tea, and a good selection of Japanese alcoholic beverages. This is a great spot for the whole family and an especially awesome place to host a birthday dinner for teens. We brought a 13- and 14-year-old group, and it was a perfect balance of fun, great food, and a relaxed environment. Highly recommended if you want good Japanese food and a memorable experience.

It was really popular that evening, so the three of got squished at the table meant for two, but we didn't mind. The menu is pretty extensive, offering ramen, udon, tonkatsu, rice bowls, grilled fish sets, and more. We ordered pretty quickly, but with how busy it was, it took a bit for the food to come out CHILEAN SEA BASS - 37 As I scanned through, my eyes immediately fell on the miso sea bass. Despite the price point, I knew I had to go for it because sea bass is hard to find around here. This set came with rice, house salad, miso soup, and cold tofu. The sides were pretty standard -- no compliments, but no complaints either. On the other hand, the sea bass was wonderful. Super creamy and soft, with a strong miso sweetness that packed so much umami upon each bite. I would definitely splurge on this set just for the sea bass. My friend got the ramen and didn't love it, so I'll probably avoid that during future visits. The katsu curry that the table next to us ordered looked and smelled amazing. Overall, food was delicious and homey. I'd definitely recommend!

Cutest hole in the wall!!…read more Authentic Japanese food on Rockville Pike. Never knew what I was missing... their sushi seriously tastes like it was made with love. Absolutely floored by the fatty tuna sushi roll. It is on the pricier side, but honestly, I don't think I even minded. We got the katsu and sashimi combo plus some rolls on the side. The katsu was delicious, and the sashimi was super fresh. The combo also came with the cutest little side dishes, really adorable presentation overall. The staff was also incredibly attentive about my friend's allergies (dairy and nuts). They kept checking in with us and even showed us the sauce ingredients to make sure everything was safe. One of the staff members called my friend "kawaii" after hearing her long list of allergies lol, and honestly, that made my day.

Azumi was the perfect choice for our Father's Day dinner. We were pleasantly surprised by how…read morebeautiful the restaurant was. The atmosphere is elegant, stylish, and made the evening feel extra special. The menu offered plenty of vegetarian options, which my husband appreciated. He enjoyed the vegetable fried rice and vegetarian sushi, and there were several other meat-free choices available. I ordered the branzino served with spinach and mushrooms, topped with a rich, flavorful sauce, and it was absolutely delicious. The rest of our group ordered steak, and it disappeared almost as soon as it hit the table. We started with cocktails. The ladies enjoyed the lychee martinis, while the gentlemen sipped Woodford Reserve Old Fashioneds. Everything was well prepared. Our waiter was exceptional. I wish I could remember his name because he was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and took the time to walk us through the menu and make recommendations. From the food and drinks to the service and beautiful ambiance, Azumi exceeded our expectations. We'll definitely be back.

They're known for their soupless ramen, which I haven't tried yet, but I did get the spicy tonkatsu ramen and it was absolutely delicious. The gyozas were also excellent. We also tried the sliced beef don. It was good, though I've had better elsewhere, and the portion was a bit underwhelming -- lots of rice but not much meat. That's really my only complaint. The first time we dined in, it was busy but still enjoyable. The second time we ordered takeout, and it was just as good. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place for ramen, whether you're dining in or carrying out.
