Cute Japanese cuisine spot. Really love their Ikura, tastes very fresh and does not have that nasty fishy smell that other sushi restaurants do. Service was good, although I did feel a little bit rushed. read more

Came here for lunch and was genuinely impressed by the quality and service. We ordered the chicken katsu, hamachi kama, Fandango roll, and the Azuma Sushi Maki roll, and everything was delicious. The chicken katsu was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and not greasy at all, just the way it should be. The hamachi kama was perfectly grilled, super flavorful with just the right amount of char, and came with a ponzu dipping sauce that complemented it really well. Now the rolls... the Fandango roll was a standout, fresh, creative, and full of flavor without being overly saucy or heavy. The Azuma Sushi Maki roll was another winner, a solid choice if you're craving something classic with high quality fish. Service was friendly and attentive, and the vibe of the place is relaxed and casual. This spot definitely exceeded expectations, I'll absolutely be back! read more

Azuma Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It's been several years since we ate here and Azuma was always a rock steady choice for Japanese food. The original owners (Harry & Jennifer) retired last year and one of their team members (Jenny) took over the business. I was a little nervous as I didn't see any recent Yelp reviews but Azuma hasn't skipped a beat! Solid maki rolls and katsu - the rolls are well constructed still ( with the proliferation of sushi places over the past 20 years, so many newer places seem to forget that the most important part of maki and nigiri is getting the rice right). The fish was fresh and sliced/ prepared well as always. Starters of ohitashi, sunomono, and agedashi tofu were a great way to start the meal. Don't sleep on the fried rice, btw - it's an unsung hero on the menu and still so good. Not necessarily traditional but once we ordered it in the past it's now a must order every time for us. By the time we finished our meal the place was packed on a Friday night. Congrats to Jenny and the team for keeping the dream of consistently good sushi and Japanese dishes alive! read more

We love Azuma Sushi -- it's fresh, the menu offers an impressive variety, and the sevice is friendly and fast. The best in West Seattle!

I had miso soup, Udon, Tempura Vegetables and a couple pieces of a California roll. Everything tasted okay. Nothing seemed off at the time. A couple hours later I was very sick with painful gastro intestinal problems. My wife who only ate a couple of sushi rolls didn't get sick or have any digestive problems. read more

I came here with my wife for lunch and it was good. Got seated really fast. Prices were decent. I got the bento box. I will try more sushi rolls next time. Will certainly give it another shot. read more

They're friendly people that make good tasting food. They let me pick my own table, they were pretty quick about making the food. I got the California Roll combo with Teryaki. It was pretty good. I'd recommend this spot if you're looking for a bite to eat either by yourself or with friends. They also have a QR code at the table you can scan to put in the order if you don't want to wait for them to come to you to ask if you're ready to order. Payment is made at the register in my experience though they may bring it to your table if you're not in a hurry. Felt great supporting a local restaurant near the neighborhood I grew up in. Hope to return for some more food next time I'm in Seattle. read more

The food is good! The chicken on my teriyaki is nicely charred. I enjoy it very much, it has been my usual when I order here. They do a combo deal that comes with a California roll, and that's what I always opt for. I'm not a big edamame guy, but the edamame here is something else that I get every time. I love the Azuma maki because it has a variety of fish in one roll! But, sometimes, I like to taste the salmon alone, so I get the Alaska roll too! I love the miso soup (reminds me of home as a Japanese). The scallions and tofu, and I drink every drop in the cup they serve it in. The service is great, they are friendly, fast, regardless what you get. Also, the sushi isn't premade and packed to just sit there like in a grocery store. Everything is made to order! read more

As of 11/22 Azuma is take out only. The food was never great, but it was edible and we supported it as a local business. The takeout-only option has not made the food better and the front of the restaurant, the only part you are allowed in, is dirty, cluttered, and needs a serious degrease/mopping. Our most recent order included roles, edamame, nigiri, miso, and agedashi. The miso had an oil sheen, the nigiri rice fell apart, the edamame, tasted like it had been frozen a couple of times, and both of our rolls were the wrong kind of "fishy" for a sushi restaurant. This was probably our last time eating at Azuma unless they do some deep cleaning and a preparation overhaul. read more

Doing a great job with COVID regulations and keeping everyone safe. I just went in to get the lunch bento box which was a bunch of food for 12 bucks - chicken katsu, a California roll, miso soup, rice and a salad. When I have been here in the past I have had a few of the rolls which were always fresh and delicious. Yes, there are other sushi restaurants nearby that are upscale and sustainable that I also love, but yes, also sometimes you want a lunch bento box that is not 40 bucks but is still delicious. Everyone is also very friendly here! read more

I love Azuma! Have been coming here with a friend who lives in West Seattle for years! Most recently about a month ago we came for take out, luckily we did since they no longer do dine in. I think they're very reasonably priced and have yummy fresh sushi. My fiancé does not even sushi so it's convenient that they have several options that were not fish for him. I believe it's family owned small business. Check it out! read more

Great food! Wonderful service! We have been eating here for years and it's amazing! Fish is fresh, the Udon is always delicious!

Good sushi in a standard restaurant setting. Service is speedy but not particularly friendly.

The sushi and sashimi is delicious, and Harry is the best sushi chef and the servers are friendly and helpful. Thank goodness they just opened for inside dining since Covid. I OK the junction is all lit up and ready for fall and winter. read more

A word of caution: the prices that you see through the "View Menu" option on Yelp are way different and less than the actual prices. For the actual prices, you have to go to their website and dig through the PDF-like menu. Regrettably, I placed a phone order referencing the Yelp linked menu, didn't receive a total, and didn't ask for one. When I went for pickup, I sent my partner in, and he had no idea what I ordered or the expected cost. What should have been ~$75 was $112 before tip. Example: the Love Boat for 2, around $52 through the Yelp menu, was over $80. That's not just a minor detail. I get that that this is an unclaimed business on Yelp, but has no one ever raised this before? Feels suspicious. Finally, the sushi was just fine and it gave me diarrhea that took about 12 hours to go away. read more

i always forget how much I love Azuma, I ordered to go here last night after leaving Urgent Care starving. Ordered the Dynamite and Volcano rolls, was told by the nice lady that it would take 20min so I ran to Safeway for some groceries. Pick up was quick and effortless. Staff has tables set up at the front for check out and pick up. Both rolls were fantastic, the dynamite roll was flash fried perfectly, wasnt overly crunchy where the coating would cause you to choke haha. The volcano roll was so flavorful and buttery, definitely a favorite. I'll have to remember to order here from now on instead of trekking to sushi restaurants in Seattle. read more

I know "authenticity" is often meaningless but when it deviates in a way that just isn't as good, well... Mushiest sushi rice I've ever had. Spiciest spicy tuna I've ever had. Fried stuff tasted like old fryer oil. Sunomono was cut into strangely large chunks. It was ok. read more

Azuma is open for dine in again! As always, the food is phenomenal and the service attentive, friendly and wonderful. The sushi rolls are generous in size and so tasty. Cannot say enough good things about Azuma- we love this place!!! read more

I'll start off with the just OK portion. Was hoping to sit down and have sushi but when we got here there was a note that says take out only. Slight disappointment. The volcano roll was just OK. I was thinking it would be spicy but I thought the texture was off and not much flavor. Now for the really good. Four of us came in ordered two rolls each to go. The staff was very friendly very efficient and I was able to get Sake to go. All of the other rolls (other than the volcano roll) was very good. The spicy tuna roll is probably one of the better spicy tuna rolls I've ever had. if I am ever back in the Seattle area for sushi this will be a spot I will come back to. Dragon roll x2 Rainbow roll Spicy Maki roll tuna (spicy tuna) Philly Volcano Spicy Crispy California Tempura roll read more

The service and sushi honestly has always been amazing and I will say that the team always go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. While we love ordering to go, we cannot wait to dine in! read more

Can't review the food or service because we went there to eat but the sign in the window said they only do takeout so went somewhere else. Three stars for disappointment. read more

I came here 2X now, and it's because I wanted to see a friend of mine in West Seattle. Since I checked all other Sushi places, this restaurant contains the most reasonable prices on California Avenue. The servers are good, but you really have to be clear with them at times because of language barrier. My fiance almost got charged 97 dollars because the waitress did not listen to him carefully about separate checks, but I got it resolved with her at the register machine. I usually order Bento combo, which has salad, a choice of meat, rice, and either shrimp and veggie tempura or Cali rolls. I always go for the shrimp tempura just because Japanese deep-fried food isn't something I'd eat daily. My fiance came here and ordered a sushi boat, which I thought was such a cute concept. read more

The food was pretty good I remember I ordered the chicken katsu box with the rice and it was so amazing . Service was kinda spotty though but after the uncomfortable vibe in the restaurant we were greeted with smiles and a goodbye as we were leaving the restaurant. read more

Very disappointing. The rice was overcooked and mushy. The salmon skin roll tasted like it was doused with white pepper. The quality vs. the price is 1:10. I do not recommend you come here if you want satisfying food that you will be at least $20 per person for. Very bad. read more

Arrived at 7:30pm on a Saturday night for dinner and boy this place was packed - recommend calling in and making reservations. Really enjoyed the food. Scallop nigiri was excellent and also really enjoyed the toro, seared salmon, unagi and tempura plate. Also had cold / hot sake, beer and wine on the menu. Had a lovely evening with friends (baby friendly) and would definitely come again. read more

Azuma Sushi... uh-zoo-muh sue-she... cool phrase. After meandering through burien and west seattle on the 560, finally i get off at the junction... i like this place. great wood use and jpn art. is it just me, or are they chinese? it just made me wonder out of curiosity, since i'm used to hispanic, japanese, or korean. a first if they are chinese. the waitress seemed like she had that aged-pleasantness about her. idk, kind of like, "oh just another customer" but also, "welcome, thank you for coming," if that makes sense. a rather homey atmosphere. thee sushi was great. the dynamite was satisfying (although izakaya's seemed better) and sake had put-in-your-mouth-but-sticks-out sized slices which were amazing salmon (it's one of those simply beautiful nigiris). i just wanted to start ordering more left and right. the b-room wasn't anything special, and overall, i wouldn't mind going back. read more

Just finished dinner here and overall we are pretty impressed! We are big fans of sushi, but weren't overly impressed the first time we came here so it has been a long time since our last visit. It's certainly not the finest sushi in Seattle, but for a close option in West Seattle - it is a decent option in order to satisfy our sushi craving without having to cross the bridge. Prices are decent, but no happy hour advertised or anything. It was super busy tonight with everyone wanting to get out of their house after all the winter weather, and while they were admittedly not prepared for it, they did a good job of taking care of everyone and maintaining friendliness. We ordered the dragon roll and dynamite roll (not fried) and both were very good. I really liked the eel on the dragon roll. We also ordered albacore, yellowtail, butterfish and salmon nigiri. The salmon and yellowtail were my favorite, both very tender. I am sure we will be back in the near future! read more

I met up with my friend from high school who settled down with her family in West Seattle. First, we were gonna go to Buddha Raksa which was right by her house, but honestly, we are sick of Thai food, so we decided to go on another route and picked this place instead. We ordered Hamachi Kama for appetizer. It was good, and then, for main course, we got Love Boat for 2 ($55) which came with a roll of sushi and a plate of tempura. And my friend got a bento box. The fish was fresh and then I forgot a pen, so I can't really write anything home. It was fun to catch up with a friend from 16 years ago! read more

I have never ever had an issue here, I visit often and am given nothing short of quick service, delicious food and a smile. Bonus: everything here is so cheap! I highly recommend the bagel roll if you're a fan of tempura'd sushi, and the udon is ok but a bit bland for my taste since it doesn't have anything but noodles, broth and then whatever meat/veggie you ordered. I always get the window table for optimal people watching, and the music playing is always very relaxing. Love it! read more

Doesn't seem like they have a lot of specialty rolls here. But the fish collar is super delicious and has lots of meat unlike other places I've had it at.

The stir fry tofu noodles was traditional and exactly what I was expecting! A yummy sauce, nicely baked tofu, and good selection of veggies. I'd never had Udon noodles before, and I loved them!

Where can you find lunch for $10 or less nowadays ?? I'm quite fond of the lunch specials at Azuma sushi. They start from $6.50 and up! We shared a few orders of sushi and the beef donburi special which came with miso soup. Beef donburi - generous portion of tender beef ribeye cooked in a savory sauce laid on a bed of rice. Hamachi nigiri - I really appreciate that the sushi had wasabi in it just like how they do it in Japan so props to keeping it authentic even though the owners are Chinese. The yellowtail was fresh and tender, not the best but not the worst. Hotate nigiri - plump and tender chunks of scallop. Amaebi - I always love me some sweet shrimp. I'm still growing used to eating the fried head that comes with it. Butter fish roll - First time trying butter fish, it doesn't taste like anything unique, the texture reminds me of scallop. I was a bit disappointed how loose the roll was made, the filling kept falling out and one of the pieces even fell apart all together. Overall the rating is actually 3.5 stars for the price and quality of the food but I'm rounding down because of how loose the roll was and the fish was falling out. read more

Went here for the first time today and was pretty disappointed. The price was too high for bland food, the sushi was warm and the chicken satay didn't come with peanut sauce. I will try again since there are good reviews for the bento box and it's right next to my work, but Irashai on admiral wins another point for best sushi in west Seattle so far! read more

Very very very very good! After calling Mashiko & being told the wait was 2 hours, we came here based on a recommendation from a neighborhood local. We truly enjoyed this place! There was a large variety on the menu to choose from, everything was very fresh and the price was right. There was no wait once we got there and the staff was very friendly. We ordered the love boat for two which came with one dynamite roll, sashimi, Nigri, tempura and miso soup. Our eyes must of been bigger than our stomachs because we ordered an additional roll (volcano roll) and we had way too much food (we had to take home leftovers). But everything was very tasty! Highly recommend this spot! read more
