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. read more

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.

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'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. read more

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. read more

If you're looking for a casual, unfussy, familiar sushi bar vibe, this is the place -- can't think of any reason you shouldn't go. Was heading back to Penn Station, desperate to get mu sushi on, and Azuki was perfect. Sort of low-profile -- even though I was there in a Saturday night, the place was comfortably uncrowded and laid back. My meal was fine. Just something pretty basic, a sushi entre with nine pieces and a roll, and seaweed salad for my appetizer -- one of the highlights of my experience. Not so great was the miso. I could see right away that the broth was thin, almost colorless, and unfortunately, flavorful it was not -- disappointing, because miso is pretty fundamental, and it felt like getting off to a bad start. Moving past that, my sushi came and I inhaled it like I do whenever I'm around good sushi. If I had to quibble, I'd say the sushi chef could have taken a more refined aesthetic approach to the presentation (let's be honest, that's something we notice and miss when it's not quite right). Got on well with our server, no problem there ... so yeah, if it's a low-key sushi fix you need, Azuki will hook you up. read more

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!? read more

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. read more

Azuki - California Roll Shrimp Tempura Roll - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Azuki is the kind of restaurant I wish I had in my neighborhood. Upon first glance, the restaurant utilizes a minimalistic decor which is quite elegant, but it caters to the casually dressed. The restaurant is truly welcoming to people who came in to eat. There's a surprisingly wide variety of Japanese food. Sashimi, sushi (with a couple of specialty rolls) and for the non-fish people, there is a teriyaki steak made to order, ramen, donburi, wow! Just that many things to explore. However, my favorite thing, Hamachikama, was available on the menu as an appetizer. I ordered the grilled eggplant to go with it and called it dinner (very little carbs, of course, for those who are Type 2 -D) read more

We were in town just for the day and met our son here for lunch. It was the perfect spot for catching up with him and we really enjoyed the bento box, sushi & noodles. We loved the fact that although it was located in a busy area, the restaurant was not noisy like some other places and we never felt rushed. We highly recommend Azuki! read more

Service was good ambiance was lovely, however the food was very bad. The sushi did not taste fresh it was very rubbery in texture. Wound up throwing up after getting back to my office, it's too bad it's close to my office would have loved for it to have been a place I go to consistently. read more

Bang for your buck restaurants are typically hard to come by in Midtown once you eliminate fast food options. However, Azuki on 8th Avenue offers some good (not great) lunch specials ranging from $8 to $11. Pictured is their Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box complete with White Rice, California Roll, Shrimp Shumai, Salad and Rice; Miso Soup also comes with it as an appetizer. If you work in the area looking for a quick lunch, here's an option but don't use it for a business lunch meeting. read more

While trying to cater an event for my company, last minute, one of my colleagues decided we should include sushi in the mix. However, due to the various dietary preferences we were catering to, our only option was to go vegetarian. After extensive Seamless research, I found Azuki offered a Vegetarian Party Tray, just in our budget. I'm always skeptical of veggie sushi because I'm a sucker for some good ol' raw fish, however, Azuki's impressed me! The variety was great, presentation was on point, and they were on time with delivery...not to mention decently priced! I'm a fan, Azuki, I'm a fan. read more

Best sushi ive ever had me and me mother and older brotger went we all had alot of tasty food the ramens shoons are crunchy to

It's comic con, and being on your feet all day sure makes you hungry. On my way to my regular ramen joint I passed by Azuki and thought I'd stop in and try them. Decor was nice, gentle environment. I was starving, ready and eager to eat, saw they had a tonkotsu ramen, an took a hot sake as well. The restaurant was pretty slow at the time and food came out fairly fast. The first thing I noticed was how much broth was in the bowl. You could only see the eggs clearly on top, and the pork was kinda viable. I'm not a ramen expert, but I've had my share... this looked like it was drowning with 0 effort in presentation. The reason for this is because there isn't much to present at all. This ramen only comes with a literal boiled egg (not marinated like most places), veeeeeery thinly sliced pork, a few green things and thanks it really. First taste I had of the broth was underwhelming. There was hardly any flavor, just salty. The noodles were decent, but other than that the bowl wasn't all the good. I had most of the port, egg and some noodles to fill my belly, but I'd avoid spending your $26 for what I ordered here. This was the first time I didn't either finish or take any leftovers. I didn't even finish the sake as it too was just not all the satisfying. Two stars for being clean and calm. read more

Well let me start by saying I almost missed this restaurant walking by. I was on my 30minute lunch break...well, actually 20...because I'd been indecisive in whether I should eat here or another restaurant next door. Well I looked at the Zagat ratings on the doors of each and went with the one with an A rating ;-)!!! I'm glad I did!! Ladies and Geri think I've found anew Sushi Restaurant in the area!! Honestly I don't eat on 34th Street or near 34th Street...Guess because I've never found any place that I'd fancied...ever until now. Like Zagat I too give this restaurant an A rating. I ordered a lunch special Bento Box with Shumai, House Salad, 6 piece California Roll, White Riceand a lovely piece of Teriyaki Salmon. The food was delicious! Sad I only had 19 minutes to scarf down all my food, pay the bill and, run out and get back to work! Can I tell how fresh everything was...you know the taste of well prepared fresh fish My review for this quaint little hidden treasure is a 4 out of 5 stars. The staff was good unfortunately I didn't get the full treatment because I literally had to gulp down my food but I'll say this...I would go back for a second time if I'm in the vicinity for sure!! Not to mention all of the amazingly delicious food all for a total of ....drum roll..$12.50!!!!!!!! read more

Delicious sushi and rolls, excellent selection, quick service. We enjoyed every bite!

I had the most rudest server ever today on Saturday at 1:30pm. I come here all the time I'm at Broadway performer and I've never been treated with such disrespect. I went here to order a takeout in between my Broadway rehearsals and I ordered a lunch special but was told that the lunch special price was not offered on the weekends even though it did not specify in the menu. So instead I made a different order but before I was able to order again once he knew that I was changing my order he saw to it that I would wait an additional 10 minutes before he took my new order and was very rude about it. Then after he made sure that he left my to go order on the furthest table away from me so I had to walk to get it instead of he bringing it to me when I asked for additional soy sauce he said there was an extra charge for a single packet of soy sauce. When I then asked to speak to his manager he spent another 5 to 10 minutes to even go back to look for the manager. By then I had to leave to go back to the rehearsals at my broadway show. It's such a shame that a restaurant with good food can have absolutely rude and disrespectful servers. The large of money that I've spent buying food at this restaurant on a monthly basis will now go towards another restaurant that will treat me with respect. read more
