Azabu - Whittier

Food was absolutely delicious! We tried the wagyu dumplings (10/10 just wish there were more than 3 in an order! , Queen Roll, Geisha Roll, Azabu Crunch Roll and Chicken Fried Rice. Everything tasted so good. Very helpful and attentive staff. We had multiple people check on us throughout our dining experience. It was quiet when we first got there with just a few parties at the bar and at tables but by the time we left it was nearly full. Can't wait to go back soon!

It was a busy Friday night. The place was full, with crowds waiting outside (which is usually a good sign of a great restaurant). We forgot to make a reservation so we waited at the bar for our table, which isn't a problem. While at the bar, we ordered some drinks and oyster shooters. Both were good, as expected. We finally got our table but it took another 20 min for our waitress to take our orders. Unfortunately, our food took even longer. It took about 30 min for the first dish, Yellowtail carpaccio, and about 15-20min between each dish to come out. We ordered 4 dishes so the last one didn't come out until almost an hour later. 4 ? for the quality of the food. 4 ? for the ambience. 2 ? for the service.

We just happened to stumble into Azabu while looking for a sushi dinner spot. The restaurant is very nice and modern. The waitstaff was attentive, professional and knew the menu well. We started with the black crispy rice which was delicious. Next we had the Geisha roll (it’s a roll with spicy tuna, shrimp tempura and topped with albacore) yum! We had the seafood ceviche after and finished off with the tuna tataki (not pictured). All of our food was exceptional and presented very well. Vegetarian options: I saw a pretty large vegetarian menu

This was our first dining at Azabu. Great first experience. Food is very tasty and delicious cocktails. Our server J J went above and beyond with his service, very attentive. Definitely going back.

Staff was extremely friendly and went above and beyond. Sushi rolls were very good and the presentation was nice. Unfortunately, wouldn't recommend their drinks but overall had a wonderful experience.
