We went here for my birthday, spoiler's, no free dessert. But that's not what this is about... My wife and I ordered the following. Miso soup: flavor was good. Temperature was much colder than expected Pork dumplings: favor was good. Temperature was much colder than expected Tsurai Sunni roll: favor was good: temperature was as expected Pad Thai: favor was okay. 45 minutes later when writing this I have sesame oil on my breath. Temperature was much colder than expected It was worth the try. Not for a special occasion. Too many other cool places nearby to try again read more

Cute and delicious sushi / fusion spot. Great cocktail menu. Great whisky selection- scotch, bourbon, and Japanese. read more

My go to sushi spot in viejo San Juan. Good appetizers, great variety of different sushi rolls, cute ambiance, flavorful options.

This is one of the few places you can make a reservation and enjoy a nicer dining experience in old San Juan (I think Marmalade might be the only other one). I love asian fusion and tip my hat to what Azalea is striving for. Service was very good (mind you we had a 6p reservation before they got busy). We ordered the duck dumplings (amazing), Thai salad. (Also delish), tiradito (well executed), pork dumplings (least favorite...I didn't like the contrast of the shredded pork that was citrusy and tart v savory in the dumpling wrapper...the flavors just didn't work well together), and the tobiko roll (was decent enough but also not mind blowing). The cocktails were good and the ambiance very nice and a nice break from the typical OSJ establishment requiring waits without reservations and serving pretty much the same menu. read more

My sister and I were looking for a place to grab dinner in Old San Juan and I saw this was a Latín/Asian fusion place which was perfect since I've been craving sushi! Glad we chose here - the staff was all very friendly and nice. It's very new and the decor is very modern. I got the Azalea roll and my sister got the deep fried surf and turf - both were delicious!! The spicy edamame we had as appetizer was good too. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for sushi/ Asian cuisine with a twist! read more

We had a yummy meal with two appetizers: spicy Edamame and a similarly spicy cabbage salad. Both were very tasty! I thought the Shrimp LoMein was nothing special (in fact, the pea-pods were strangely over cooked!) The Pad Thai, on the other hand, was spectacular, with seared scallops...terrific! I would like to give five stars, but the waitress was awful, over explaining the menu, fiddling around with and moving our silverware and plates, she was downright intrusive! Oh, and the loud, techno music was a bit much. I would definitely recommend this place, though! Plus, San Juan could use some love!! It doesn't look prosperous at all. read more

The restaurant was not crowded when we went. The décor is very calming. The dishes were excellent. The coconut chicken was the best. We had Pad Thai, dumplings, and Kung Pao fried rice. Each dish was well seasoned. Even though we usually stay away from places that mix so many cuisines, we had to try this one. Very glad we did. read more

The restaurant is not worth your money, period. In addition the owner of this establishment needs to be replaced. She seems to have gotten too high on her horse here in PR. On a normal night finding food in the area, we sat down for what we thought would be a quick meal. We ordered a Pork Bao and the Old San Juan sushi roll. Our food took over 40 mins to come in a nearly empty restaurant. When we brought the complaint to the general manager, she originally said she would credit us for the appetizer. The final bill came, and that changed. We asked for her manager, she comes and says it's because it is a "fine dining experience" as if fine dining presumes my food will take an hr to come out regardless of what I order, and has nothing to do with quality. Then she continues to say "This is fine dining, this isn't Chillis/Applebee's". Instead of taking ownership for her SLOW restaurant, she says this insult, as to assume (normal) wait times are what we, a black couple on vacation, are used to. Surprising hearing this from a Puerto Rican business appropriating asian culture. She called the police on us for bringing our complaints to her and ACTUALLY taking offense to being insulted. I hope one day soon that she visits the states to experience this kind of treatment from a white owner, who will see her as nothing more than another person of color. I hope they get intimidated by your tone enough to call the police on you instead of talking to you as an adult. At NO point did we do/say anything close to "I'm not paying", etc. People of color, if you're an adult, know how it feels to be looked at as "the angry black person causing ruckus", when all we want is an explanation. Treatment based on the color of your skin is racism, therefore the owner of Azalea, Christina Jimenez, is a "KAREN" and does not need the support from any patrons but especially that of African American tourists. I hope her staff sees this and I hope any future patrons of this establishment see this. read more

Brought my husband here for his birthday dinner on a Saturday night and were both a bit disappointed. Every dish that we ordered that was a hot dish came out cold. The pork dumplings had great flavor but were chewy from being cold. The Pad Thai absolutely was not pad Thai, it was noodles loaded with sesame oil and soy sauce. We asked for spicy and there was zero heat. The scallops were okay but were a bit over cooked (pad Thai was also cold when it came out). The Tsurai roll was really good and made me wish we had only ordered sushi. read more

Very friendly staff, great food. We got some sushi and the ceviche and it was excellent. Would recommend!

This place was amazing! It's a newer restaurant so it wasn't over crowded by patrons (yet!). This place will hit the map soon as the food was delicious and the service was exceptional. We were seated promptly at our reservation time (from OpenTable) and the drinks came quickly. The tuna tacos were the bomb and the pad Thai was awesome and so filling! The sushi selection was fresh! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice dinner. read more

I love this place! Exceptional food! I forget to take pictures of the food, because we were so hungry by the time it came! Best place in Old San Juan! read more

Food was very good, however service was very slow. The lychee colada was very tiny and did not taste anything like a piña colada. read more

Had a wonderful experience tonight. Food and cocktails were delicious and the service was prompt and friendly. Loved the pork dumplings.

LOVED our food! The atmosphere is very welcoming, the staff it kind and attentive, and the foot was so amazing!

So happy I stopped in! I felt like a VIP here. I was greeted by a lovely hostess and was seated immediately. Service was quick, everyone was warm and friendly. The decor is modern and very cool, very unique and trendy for old San Juan. You feel like you're in Miami :) I was worried I would be underdressed but no one seemed to notice or care. The menu has some traditional sushi items as well as some Puerto Rican twists. I only had the sushi so I can't speak to the entrees but they looked great! read more

What a delightful surprise. When all else was full or closed, we happened across Azela and were so glad we did. We had the ceviche and crab nachos. Had a Zen cocktail that was delicious. And dessert was really good - fried bread pudding with sesame ice cream. read more

The restaurant was very nice, the service was professional, pleasant and personable and the food was filling, nutritious and very yummy. Azalea is a great place for dining in Old San Juan, you will not be disappointed. read more

My partner and I are visiting from NYC and this is some of the best sushi/apps we've had!

First off let me say that while everything was great, our bartender Luis gave us the BEST service imaginable. He was beyond helpful with suggestions and his cocktail making skills were more than on point. We initially didn't even intend to step in here but I'm so glad we did!! The drinks were amazing! We ordered the greener mule and the whiskey cocktail (I forgot the name of it)..both drinks were incredible (great flavor and stronger than I expected). We also had the lechon rolls which were seriously delicious. Honestly everything was incredible. The quality and flavor was great. When you go make sure you ask for Luis!! read more

I really can't speak to the quality of the food here because, after a misunderstanding about our reservation, the hostess refused to seat us. We left to avoid a scene but called the manager and requested that the reservation be honored. The manager acknowledged the problem but then flat-out lied, saying there were no available tables. (There had been several when we left less than 10 minutes before.) After all this, they reported us to OpenTable.com as a no-show, prompting a lecture to US on proper handling of reservations. Not only do these people have no grasp of basic customer service, they are vindictive toward diners who protest when they have been treated disrespectfully. There are too many excellent restaurants in San Juan, staffed by competent and courteous professionals, to put up with this kind of shoddy treatment. I suggest you dine elsewhere. read more

I loved the pork dumplings! The cocktails were a bit adventurous. I would go back again to try more things from the menu.

Sushi was wonderful. The mushroom and beef teriyaki was so salty I had to send it back. Service was pretty bad too.

Food was delicious, 5 stars! Price was high for the portion size. Wait staff were all friendly and helpful. If you don't mind dropping some coin on a good meal, then I definitely recommend. We had the halibut which was paired with baby bok choy and green curry (yum!) and a couple of tasty sushi rolls. We had our two you g children and didn't feel out of place. read more

Absolutely delicious! Me and my partner came here after searching far and wide (lol) in old San Juan to eat. It's an Asian Latin fusion restaurant. We had a delicious Thai salad, Nepali momos were FIRE, and the service was great! Vegetarian options as well. read more

Had one of the best sushi experiences at Azalea, and super glad we went. I was hesitant to have sushi when we're surrounded by more traditional places, but they've made sure to add a Puerto Rican twist to each item. Wish I had a better picture of this delicious roll, because it is a pescatarians dream. This is the Kemuri, and it comes topped with sweet plantains which was so unique and the perfect balance of meaty sweetness. We got the Azalea roll as well, with the tuna poke bowl as an appetizer. Boyfriend got the tuna nigiri and the pieces were large, fresh and "delicious." Bibiana was so great and made sure we were all taken care of, including a chiller for our bottle of sake. Also I noticed and loved that the music was covers of songs done in a style that complimented the atmosphere of the place. Already want to go back! read more

Was walking by and liked that the atmosphere felt cozy but not crowded. Sat at the bar and got great service from Luis. Enjoyed our sushi rolls and beverages and overall experience. A good place if you're looking to try something new. read more

Wonderful. Can't think of one thing to complain about. Yelp wouldn't let me post unless I keep writing Yelp you are absurd.

Delicious! Such a fun vibe. Everything I ordered ended up delicious. The bao buns for the win!

Azalea was fabulous. From the atmosphere, to the food, and especially the staff, really couldn't have asked for a better dinner experience. The ceviche was and tuna were so fresh and such a great mix of flavors. Visiting from NYC and knowing things are limited due to Covid I was very impressed with the mixology skills of the bartender and the drinks he was creating fir our group. As for wait staff our waitress Lilly was an absolute pleasure plus in the end she ended up being a life savior when we couldn't find a cab due to the local curfew. Thank again Lilly! We will def be visiting this spot again when in San Juan and highly recommend!! read more

We stopped in this new place while strolling in Old San Juan. Fresh ingredients terrific service and beautiful atmosphere. That's all you want while strolling in the old city. We had spicy edamame, a couple rolls and chifa rice. All were great and nicely plated. A great new place in a beautiful city. read more

Was lucky enough to have a free evening and time to search Yelp for a new cool place, and wanted Asian Fusion if possible. FOUND IT! Walked here from Condado. Was hungry and thirsty upon arrival. Sat at the bar and ordered a Greener Mule (Finlandia Vodka, wasabi cucumber & ginger beer. Side note: was served by Craig Barrett at Triple Creek Ranch awhile back. He had me taste test 4 vodkas. Clear winner was Finlandia. Had no idea it was good. Was Craig's favorite). Menu here is awesome. Hard to make decisions. I wanted a substantial salad so I choose the Korusuro Salad (cabbage, carrots, scallions, spicy Japanese mayo). Really good! Struggled to make a decision on next course but went with a roll (Caterpillar Roll - yellowtail, crab, cucumber, avocado with sriracha drops). Had cold appetizer options as well as hot, and noodles. I then had a main course ((Cantonese Cod Fish - sake cured Cod, stir fried veggies, pork crackling crumble). Great, meaty mushrooms and tasty Cod!. Staff was gracious and competent. For only being open for 3 nights, I'm super impressed! Definitely will be back. read more

The Duck Truffle Fries are amazing , and ambiance is great , full bar and great fresh sushi, the staff is super friendly

Pretty restaurant with great vibes. Staff is friendly but food really isn't nearly good enough to justify the prices.

This spot has horrible customer service. They took 2 hours to bring food out for our table, we understand it was a party of 13 people however they have no type of uniformity or even manners. They didn't even bother to bring us water until we asked for it over 3 times. When they did bring food out, they forgot about 4 of our plates. Manager/owner didn't even show as though she cared when we expressed our concern to her. Thoroughly disappointed. It's my birthday and they didn't even express any type of hospitality. 0/10 don't recommend. read more
