The Oh My God Roll was beautifully presented, very eye-catching, and tasted just as amazing as it looked. Definitely one of the highlights. The Jalapeño Bomb Roll was also a standout. The spicy kick from the jalapeño paired really well with the sauce, making it incredibly flavorful and satisfying. We also tried the yuzu cocktail and the Sea Breeze, and both were refreshing and well-balanced. Perfect drinks to go with sushi. The sushi itself was fresh and flavorful, and you can really tell they use quality ingredients. Always a satisfying experience here.

So we have been here once. Did not have a bad experience, but the food.... Was not very good…read more Unpopular opinion, hope I dont trigger anybody. Food was very mid. Staff was nice, not super attentive. Wondering why they named this place Izakaya if all they really sell are generic rolls and teriyaki... anyway back to the rating. We ordered several rolls, sashimi, and couple apps. The Edamame was weird. While traditionally steamed and tossed, or fried and tossed with garlic n chilies, these were.... Wet? Like swimming in some type of sauce. Sauce was tasty, but it was so weird to look at. Rolls were very underwhelming. Nothing popped, nothing hit you making you come back for another bite. Family did not enjoy it, would rather return to Kyoto across the street or Jin down the street. Just saying.

A diverse variety of sushi, sesame chicken, baked mussels, spicy garlic edamame -- my son loves the 'Baby Rockstar' roll -- everything has been good.

I've been going to Japanese Castle Sushi for a while now, and it's easily one of my go-to spots…read morewhen I'm craving Japanese food. I always order the chicken yakitori--it's consistently on point every time. The chicken is juicy, well-seasoned, and has that perfect grilled flavor. One thing I like is that I switch up my sushi rolls every visit, and I've honestly never been disappointed. Everything always tastes fresh and well put together. That said, a couple rolls I keep coming back to are the Samurai Roll and the Blue Crab Salmon Roll--both are packed with flavor and definitely stand out on the menu. And I have to mention the miso soup... hands down the best I've had. It's simple, but done right with great flavor. Overall, this place is consistent, fresh, and reliable. If you like trying different sushi rolls or already have your favorites, this spot is definitely worth checking out.

Made reservations to take my husband to dinner for Father's Day since we've not been to Azabu's in…read moreyears now that we live in Long Beach. This had to be a special occasion to make the drive. Aaaand yes! It was still worth the drive. Still looked the way i remembered. Service was great as well. Christine was our waitress. She was attentive and sweet. Despite that my lobster tail took a while to come out ( and if it wasn't for Christine being so helpful and nice I'm sure this would be a totally different review) Everything was so delicious. Started off with the spicy edamame which I could literally drink the sauce they make them in. We also had the crab hand rolls. Those were so warm and tasty! Followed by the yummy rolls. Queen roll with the strawberry on top was my fav! Azabu crunchy roll had a perfect crunch and gives you a mouthful of deliciousness (2nd fav) Then the rock n roll rocked our world! That was a party in my mouth with all the flavors. (3rd fav) We got the keto roll and the only reason it was my least favorite is because we felt the cucumber overpowered the sushi and mango. Both me and my husband ate just what was in the inside of the cucumber it was way better. We didn't eat the cucumber. When the lobster finally came luckily it was worth the wait!!! I highly recommend the lobster tail! Full of flavor! The butter my flavoring was mouth watering. Truly enjoyed every bite! Last but not least our dessert. I ordered the chocolate cake roll! Wow!!! It truly hit the spot. Christine also brought a berry ice cream for the long wait of my lobster tail. It was so good! I thought I was full but it was so good I kept on eating it. This was a great way to celebrate my husband for Father's Day. Thank you Azabu's and Christine!

My husband and I visited Azabu for our anniversary date and had a very enjoyable experience…read more We started with the Tuna Roll, which was fresh, flavorful, and a great way to begin our meal. We then shared the Seafood Ceviche, which featured fresh fish, mango salsa, avocado, micro cilantro, leche de tigre, and macha sauce. It was definitely on the spicy side, so if you're sensitive to heat, I would recommend asking for the macha sauce to be removed or served on the side. The flavors were fresh, vibrant, and well balanced, with the avocado adding a nice creamy contrast to the spice. The presentation of the ceviche was especially well done and made the dish even more enjoyable. I paired my meal with a glass of Strev Moscato, while my husband enjoyed a 22 oz bottle of Asahi. The atmosphere was welcoming and made for a nice anniversary dinner. The presentation of the dishes was beautiful, and the overall vibe was perfect for a date night. After our visit, we noticed what appeared to be a billing error on our check. We called the restaurant, and the manager was very helpful and quickly resolved the issue by issuing a refund. Mistakes can happen anywhere, but I truly appreciated how professionally and promptly they handled the situation. Overall, we enjoyed our meal, appreciated the excellent customer service, and would happily return.
