    Treated myself to a solo date before my broadway show. I stumbled across this gem which had a great happy hour. I sat down and they had no issue accommodating a party of one. I ordered a lychee martini which was strong but good, the Kani salad ( I did wish it had more crab in it) but overall good and a shrimp tempura roll. I had a great experience and would visit again.

    Sushi Lunch Special
    Brooke K.

    Came here for lunch and they have a really good lunch special: 2 rolls with soup for $15 The restaurant is nice and clean and the staff is friendly. The presentation was really nice esp for lunch. I ordered the salmon avocado roll and the shrimp tempura roll. It came with miso soup. The miso soup was tasty with the right amount of seaweed and tofu. The salmon roll was really good. Saloon was tasty and fresh and the avocado was ripe and creamy. The shrimp tempura was also really tasty. The shrimp was friend with planko and it was hot and crispy. The roll was good it was just kinda hard to eat without it falling apart. This restaurant is close to my job so I will be back.

    Went there with a friend during a busy workday. Pleasant attentive service. Well priced options. Quiet enough to encourage conversation. Nice sized portions and good selection.

    Manhattan Roll and Spider Roll
    Marian S.

    Pretty dang good! Great service, although they definitely assume you're there to take your time, which was fine by my friend and me. The ambience is very pleasant as well, quiet and cozy. As for the food, I especially loved the Manhattan roll--an absolutely delicious combination of flavors and textures. The shrimp tempura inside was glorious! I'll be coming here again for sure!

    Threatening Check

    I'm not new to NYC. I've passed this place many times. This night I was in town, visiting my old friends, so we stopped at Chef You next door for 1 order and this place for dumplings. I ordered a first round of food and a few rounds of drinks and shots we waited. I paid and tipped generously. As I waited I opted to order another dumpling to go and another glass of wine. Since this order was last minute and I tipped quite well the first check I didn't tip on this check (it was considerably lower and it was all to go there was no table service) Well the waiter came back over and was VERY threatening about me not tipping. So much so I tipped but little, just so I could get the hell out of there. THE WAITER THREATENED ME!!! Read that again. DO. NOT. EAT. HERE. HORRIBLE. I've attached the top portion of my check so you don't think I'm making this up.

    Salmon Dream and Tuna Lover rolls: SPECTACULAR!!!
    Jenna B.

    My mom and I stayed at the hotel right across the street and enjoyed our amazing dinner the last night in NYC. Beautiful restaurant, excellent staff, very generous size rolls and servings. I got The Manhattan Roll, Salmon Dream and the Tuna Lover roll. Did not disappoint!! Next visit to New York, will definitely be eating here.

    do yourself a favor and get their combo lunch B it's a shrimp tempura roll and cucumber avocado with spicy salmon topping it was so good and only like $15 they made it very quickly almost too quickly a bit hard to find since a lot of other shops have the same address 520 8th ave but i found this place was closer to the corner of 36 and 8th

    Beautiful restaurant and ambience! Delicious sushi and sashimi!

    My friends and I had a lovely time at the restaurant. It had a lovely interior, quick service, kind workers, and the sashimi was super fresh. Price was also great for NYC!

    Hot and Spicy Fan Combo

    Great happy hour and great sushi. Dinner specials $28 for three rolls! Wine $7. Delicious sushi! Huge portions. Staff is helpful! Place is nice. I can't wait to try the lunch specials! Spicy tuna is delicious and so is yellow tail!

    Shumai
    Samantha C.

    Azuki has stood the test of time as this has been my go-to sushi spot in this area for more than a decade. Not too far from Penn Station, Madison Square Garden and even Port Authority this is a small sushi restaurant that is great to go too if you need it in a pinch. Quality food has been had at each visit. This last visit was during happy hour where a select number of cocktails and spirits were $8. I also dined solo just grabbing an order of shumai and the Manhattan Roll. Tuna outside, shrimp on the inside and a bunch of eel sauce and spicy mayo dressed the roll. The shumai came out hot and delish, my roll was a nice size and my Captain Morgan and ginger ale was the perfect happy hour drink. Service is always top notch, even though the food does take a bit to come out. Moral of the story: If you need a spot in an area of Manhattan that can get touristy and overwhelming, this is a spot you can count on.

    Hamachi Kama
    Deanna G.

    Hamachi Kama is one of my favorite dishes and boy oh boy does Azuki do it right! Crispy skin and tender inside served with a tangy ponzu sauce.. yum! This place is so cute and cozy can't wait to come back.. also who doesn't love a happy hour that goes until 9pm!?

    California Roll Shrimp Tempura Roll

    Absolutely incredible service. I was in and out in 30 minutes with an appetizer. Food was great - spring rolls and sushi were perfect. Great price, especially for the area. Would definitely go again.

    Sushi made right in front of you!
    Ashley P.

    Was craving sushi for my lunch break, but wasn't sure where to go. Luckily, as I turned the corner, I find Azuki. I've been here once before and it did not disappoint. The miso eggplant was delicious, and all their sushi is fresh and well made. I certainly recommend this spot. It's a chill spot with relaxing music. Great place for a date, or solo.

    Happy hour drink prices!

    price - $87 per person pre tax…read more food - 5/5 service - 5/5 ambiance - 5/5 I got the chance to try out Sanyuu West for my birthday and I had such an amazing time! from the moment I stepped into the restaurant, the waiters were super sweet and attentive to my friend and I. the courses kept coming out and each piece was super tender and bursting with flavor! my favorite was definitely the uni, toro, and wagyu on milk bread course! I love how the flavors mix so well together, I felt like I was in heaven! the service was amazing, like the never left my water cup empty!!! (props to them) the ambiance inside was also super calm and vibey. overall, I had such an amazing time and I would love to go again soon

The slices aren't thin, delicate, and melt-in-your-mouth as one usually gets in a sit down; they are extra thick, and I had to really bite down on some of the pieces. The rice was nicely seasoned and was cooked well + portions are also big to match those thiccccc salmon slices. To be honest, I was getting a little nauseated after 5 pieces, haha~ They were definitely delicious but I'd probably just eat 3 or 4 pieces and share with a friend! It was easy to text the number on the website and coordinate a pickup time, and the staff was friendly when I arrived. The restaurant is a little hard to find as the windows are blinded and the sign is a piece of paper on the door.

There are many…read morerestaurants with lines that I can't say are worth waiting on, but this restaurant is worth every minute and every ounce of energy left for the wait. I've taken a lot of friends here over the course of 10 years, and without fail, every one of them has walked out mindblown--and why wouldn't they?! The wait times have gotten better over the years (probably because people are waiting for the restaurant next door), but the food and drinks here are still top-notch. Staff is always great, and they all work so efficiently. I am generally a fan of izakayas, but there are very few that offer plates that are designed to be shareable, and this is one of the reasons the food here is so enjoyable in a small group setting. I am obviously biased and think they can do no wrong, but some of my staples that have stood the test of time: Kimchi cream udon, avocado tofu salad, salmon sashimi tacos, and the kani cream croquettes. I was so excited when they opened an outpost in Flushing years ago, but sadly it shuttered during COVID. It is definitely small and there is always going to be a wait, so don't be those people who come in with a huge group during prime time because they like to move (getting customers in and out) very fast.
