Lots to choose from the menu. Fried rice was a great option for the kids - had the egg cooked with the rice. Several cocktail options that were all delicious. Staff were so attentive and friendly. Decor was modern and fancy. The view is unbeatable! Definitely will be back to try more drinks and dishes when I'm back in Baltimore! read more

Sushi here is top tier and so is the ambience. I stopped in on a busy weekday. This place was packed. My friend and I ordered everything from the tuna tartare, chirashi bowl, Toyosu nigiri platter, seared otoro and the matchamisu dessert. This was plenty of food for 2 people. We loved the quality of fish and presentation here. The otoro cuts were definitely the highlight of the evening. Seared otoro tuna with endless amounts of shaved truffle on top. Definitely save some room for dessert as the matchamisu was a take on the tiramisu. The mascarpone, mango and matcha were a great combination. The service here was great. Our servers were attentive and we enjoyed the variety of seafood, Asian fusion and even saw some hibachi items. Azumi is a great place to enjoy some cocktails, sushi or hibachi. I highly recommend booking reservations in advance. The bartender did let me know they have sushi making classes and tuna carving sessions throughout the month. I'll definitely be back to try some different cuts of fish and their sushi rolls. read more

Nice surprise. We drove from VA to try a new place, so glad we did. All of our food items were delicious. Forgot to take a picture of our extreme sushi platter. It had sparkle stick so very grand entrance to our table. Each piece was just melted in your mouth. Waitress was very friendly and explained our dishes. Servers were very attentive as well. Restaurant was pretty busy for a cold evening. Since it was so cold, we could feel the wind come in from our table. Would we go back, YES. Food and service was worth the drive. read more

We sat at the flame room and can definitely say that the service, ambiance and food were great. Food: in the flame room you had the options to order from the main room but were required to select an entree from the flame - we opted for the land and sea option for 2 ($130) and went with the scallops and lamb chops. Both were cooked to absolute perfection. - the meal comes with 3 sauces: garlic, yum yum and a hot chili. Each paired well with the meal. - sides: seaweed salad, miso tofo soup and dessert. Drinks: super unique cocktails. I got a clarified milk punch cocktail which was our favorite. Their sake options are also really good and would highly recommend asking the staff for their favorites. read more

We stopped by for lunch and loved the location near the Inner Harbor with a beautiful waterfront view. The interior is nicely decorated with a classy, modern vibe, and the service was great; the staff was attentive and friendly. We ordered the miso soup, Wagyu fried rice, and the Azumi Royal Platter. The miso soup was a bit on the salty side, and the fried rice was slightly bland, though it seems it's meant to be mixed with the hot sauce, which helped. The sushi platter was beautifully presented, and the fish was fresh and good, but the flavors didn't really stand out. Overall, the experience was pleasant, but the food didn't quite wow us. We may have had better luck ordering different items from the menu. For the price point ($280), we're not sure it was worth it. read more

This place was a hop skip and a jump from the hotel I was staying at. I enjoyed the sushi. It was a very vibey and moody spot. Think a great place for a date, an intimate dinner or a birthday kinda spot. It was on the high end of the price range. The kinda spot where you gotta buy multiple bites to feel full and then you kinda look at the bill like wait...what did I spend it all on. Not knocking the quality but I believe me and my mama got 1 cocktail each, we both had miso soup. I had sushi and I forgot what she had and the bill was like $100 something plus. Cute spot. Nice vibes but a little pricey for a quick bite. read more

Azumi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Azumi in Harbor East has officially become one of my favorite spots in Baltimore -- and the cocktails are a huge reason why. The moment you sit down, you can tell the bar program is taken seriously. Every drink feels intentional, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. I tried a few cocktails during my visit, and each one had its own personality. The flavors were fresh and layered, not overly sweet, and you could tell the ingredients were high-quality. I especially loved the Japanese-inspired twists -- touches of yuzu, ginger, and unique spirits that you don't find everywhere. It's the kind of place where you actually look forward to trying something new instead of sticking to your usual. The ambiance also adds to the experience. With the waterfront views, sleek décor, and upbeat but not overwhelming energy, it's easy to settle in and enjoy a drink (or two). The bartenders were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly proud of their craft -- they made great recommendations and genuinely seemed to enjoy creating each cocktail. Whether you're grabbing a drink before dinner or making cocktails the main event, Azumi delivers. Perfect for date nights, celebrations, or any time you want to treat yourself to something a little elevated. read more

Came here for a birthday dinner and had a wonderful experience overall. The food was beautifully presented, and our server, Valeriya was kind and accommodating throughout the night. APPETIZERS: Started with the Yellowtail Carpaccio ($19). It was light, fresh, and perfectly balanced with the onion jalapeno salsa and yuzu garlic soy. The Lamb Chop ($17) also had great flavor and tenderness even though it came out more medium-well than the medium-rare. Valeria immediately offered to replace it, which I appreciated. The Japanese seven-spice seasoning and kimchi on the side were excellent touches. ENTREE: The Grilled Spanish Branzino ($42) was well-cooked. The mushrooms over marinated rice in vinegar sauce was nice. I do wish there was more of the chimichurri sauce and the skin was more crispy. The Dry-Aged Black Angus Ribeye ($58) was okay with a subtle sweet sesame glaze. The potato puree was smooth and rich. I wish the steak had a little bit more flavor to it though. COCKTAILS: Azumi Lychee Martini ($19) was subtly sweet and refreshing Awayuki Spritz ($17) was light and floral, though not very sparkling at first. Valeriya kindly added more prosecco. Zenset ($18) was very unique. I would say this cocktail is an acquired taste. It is savory and umami-forward. Shinrin ($16) was a standout tropical drink that was creamy and aromatic Wax On, Wax Off ($18) was smooth and well-rounded. Our server, Valeriya recommended this one. It was slightly smoky with a hint of sweetness - definitely worth trying. DESSERT: The Fuji ($16) was a chocolate lava cake with black sesame ice cream. It was very rich, but I really loved the black sesame ice cream. They also brought out a complimentary scoop of vanilla ice cream for the birthday, which was nice. The ambiance was elegant and nice, perfect for a special occasion without feeling too formal. Overall, we had a lovely dining experience with excellent service, and creative cocktails. read more

Came here to celebrate a birthday and the atmosphere was lovely--definitely a nice spot for any occasion. The drinks were 10/10, very strong and you could actually taste the liquor. However, I was disappointed by the food, which didn't live up to the price point. I ordered the shrimp tempura and wagyu fried rice, and for what they cost, I expected much larger portions and actual chunks of wagyu. The food was nothing special. Probably wouldn't return given the value. Stars based on good drinks and service! read more

Fresh! Succulent. Absolutely delicious! I will definitely be back. Everything we ate was divine... crispy calamari, yellowtail jalapeño roll, surf n turf roll, crunchy tuna toro roll, & crab fried rice with strawberry crumble & lava cake for dessert! The wagyu on the surf-n-turf roll with the chimichurri was melt in your mouth good! I know the flaming king crab gets all the praise and insta videos, but the surf-n-turf was absolutely amazing so much so we ate it so fast I forgot to snap a photo before it was gone! The lava cake comes with a hazelnut crumble, and sesame ice cream, all the flavors complimented each other perfectly! It was harmony in your mouth to end a great meal! 10 out of 10 experience & food! read more

So I'm always craving Asian food...like always! I spotted Azumi as I was checking into my hotel on a layover and made a mental note to check it out the next day. It's located right on the waterfront and has beautiful views. I opted to go in for Happy Hour and sat at the bar. Service was prompt and courteous. Everything I purchased was from the happy hour menu and it was all delicious. I went with the chicken gyoza, calamari, and crispy rice w. avocado. I also ordered the cocktail that had the strawberry and lime (sorry, forgot the name). I thoroughly enjoyed both my drink and the food. The calamari is honestly some of the best I've ever had. The portion sizes are small, but it's HH so that's to be expected. My bill can out to about $35-$38 which for the quality, service, and location wasn't bad to me. I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area again! read more

I would say that this is the best sushi place in Baltimore if you don't enjoy sushi rolls. Their nigiri and sashimi were amazing and the presentation of everything was so nice. Our server was also so sweet and made our experience so amazing! The matcha manga cake we had for dessert was sooo incredible! We also had some champagne. Overall a great spot for date night. I think it's definitely a more upscale place but worth the experience once in a while! Walking along the water is also such a nice experience every time :) read more

Beautiful ambiance, we were lucky to have a lovely day to sit on the patio. There's a great view of the water. Service was a bit slow and we were forgotten/ignored often. When the server changed we had to find him to pay the bill which was annoying. The food was good so the only reason for the 4 star is the service. We had two great non alcoholic cocktails: the Ube lychee lemonade and the Kumano kodo were refreshing and the latter was not too sweet. We had a light starter, the seaweed salad, nothing to earth shattering but good nonetheless. Their signature roll, the flaming king crab, had a cool presentation atop a fiery rock plate. The taste was fine, but I would prefer the tuna tataki roll as the spice blend was really different. Aside from the presentation, I don't think the king crab is that much better than a regular sushi spot that offers similar rolls. read more

Had a very nice time at Azumi celebrating our anniversary. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit, and the restaurant was a good volume for conversation. By far the standout in our meal was the crispy rice with truffle avocado. It was absolutely incredible; an excellent combination of flavors, textures, and sauces. I would eagerly try their other variations of this dish. The king salmon nigiri melted in my mouth, which was pretty amazing. The salmon skewers were nice too. The only dish that we didn't enjoy was the ume shiso. It was unclear to us whether there was actually any plum in it. The yakisoba was quite tasty, but definitely overpriced. The sautéed mushrooms had a great taste and we enjoyed the mix of types of mushroom, though it was too salty (probably the broth). The tamago was great but also quite tiny for what you're paying. The lava cake for dessert was excellent; the miso and sesame flavors of the accompaniments paired really well with the chocolate. Overall we had an enjoyable experience and would come again for another special occasion. Bill came out to $180 for two people including tip. We only ordered food, no drinks other than water. read more

We had a very good first experience at Azumi. We didn't realize they do valet so we paid to park in a nearby garage for $12. We were able to make a last minute reservation on a Friday night which was a nice surprise! My husband and I loved the nigiri platter and the hand roll tasting - which was fresh and yummy. The only roll we were disappointed in was the Surf N Turf roll ($42). It had a bit of a weird flavor and was really just shrimp tempura with a thin piece of steak on top - pretty underwhelming for the price. The service was very quick and the servers were waiting to immediately remove each plate as soon as it was emptied (sometimes too quick). A few small details that we loved: the pickled ginger was so sharp and had the perfect zing to it. The spicy mayo that comes on some of the rolls also had a really good kick to it. And we were pleased they offered a N/A beer which many sushi restaurants do not. This is definitely pricier than other sushi restaurants in the area (Matsuri in fed hill is our favorite) but we will likely be coming back for a fancy date night or to bring friends for a celebration. read more

Solid food, though not as varied as one might expect. I think the pages for drink options are 3x the pages food options. Service is very attentive and in that professional but I rushed sort of way. Vibe kinda makes me think of something like an upscale P.F. Chang's with what I think are sake urns everywhere. This is definitely a good place for professional lunches or even second dates and beyond. Sit by the window or outside and get a good view of the water. read more

My friend and I shared all the food and tried cocktails and sake. We had the chicken gyoza, calamari, premium California roll, ribeye, beach episode cocktails, and drunken whale sake. Everything was so delicious. I am so upset that I didn't get a picture of the roll because that and the ribeye was honestly the best bites of the day. I usually don't like roe with my rolls but it wasn't so much that it interfered with the enjoyment of it. It was a perfect amount for someone who also doesn't like roe. It was also topped with snow crab. The bar staff was absolutely amazing. Most of the things we tried were based on their recommendations. Our servers were Brady, adam, Liz, and Spencer. They had a synergy that really elevated our experience. We were also able to sit by a window where we could see the water, which I always enjoy. read more

Overall, the food experience was underwhelming. I was expecting more from a sushi restaurant in this area. Let me start with what was good. Service was excellent. Val and her staff kept our table tidy and our drinks full. As for the food, the rolls or tiny compared to what I have experienced in my lifetime. They were decent, but nothing amazing for the prize. We also ordered the yakisoba with Wagyu beef, but where is the beef? There were traces of beef and it was way over sauce. The noodles look like it came from a top Ramen bag. If you are looking for a nice view, this is the place to go. If you're looking for good sushi, I'm not from the area, but I assume there's gotta be better. read more

Second time here, food was awesome both times. I really enjoyed my visit this most recent time because I was able to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine and waterfront views. The sushi is fantastic here, really fresh and they have great roll combinations. I wasn't that impressed with the tempura. We had the yellowtail carpaccio and that was yummy. Also, a nice dessert called a matchamisu which was like a tiramisu but with matcha and a fruit jam. Brilliant! And last but not least, we had a fantastic server, Tim, who made good recommendations and was attentive and friendly. read more

Azumi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

The food for some of the courses was good, but there were major problems with service, course pacing, the sake pairing, and how the management handled issues. Setting the stage: we specifically ordered the omakase, which is a 13 course tasting menu at around 180/person. The sake pairing was about another 100 on top of that and included 2 bottles of sake, but is intended for two people. In retrospect should have known there would be problems due to this being a normal table, the restaurant being busy / loud (7pm), and the server taking 15 minutes to show up to the table because he was spread too thin. The first 3 courses were great, but the pacing was way off almost 25 minutes between courses. After 30 minutes of waiting on the 4th course, the server actually brought up some nigiri to apologize for how long things were taking. We had to buy our own additional rounds of drinks because our drinks had run out. The manager walked by and we brought up the pacing issues and he 1) informed us that we were doing a "tasting menu", not the omakase...so we weren't even eating what I had specifically asked for and 2) he kept ignoring how far the pacing was off. The server came back and he acknowledged the incorrect order problem and said that it should have been explained that there have been mix ups between tasting menu and omakase lately due to changes in the menu. Let me repeat......we find out 4 courses in to an over $200 a person meal that we were not getting what we ordered...The manager came back and provided a small bottle of sake to apologize for the "miscommunication". The last 3 courses then came out in quick succession and we got the bill ($820). The server said he tried to talk to the manager about doing something after all the timing issues and not getting what we ordered, but the manager apparently refused to do anything to support the bill. read more

We had reservations at Azumi before heading to the CFG Bank Arena for a comedy show. The restaurant is beautiful and located right on the harbor - the food is outstanding.

I love Azumi, the service is always amazing every time I go and the ambience always reminds me of Miami in Baltimore. Especially the patio. This time around I got the lamb chop, be mindful it only comes with one but it's a darn good one! The shrimp was a hit! The fried rice didn't leave me super impressed but I also wasn't mad about it. The Branzino was tasty but wish I had mashed potatoes to go with it. read more

I visited Azumi on a Friday night in May with a couple friends. We didn't have a reservation so we were directed to the lounge area in the bar. Our table was essentially across from the hostess stand and the main door but it worked out well because no one crowded that area for the nose part. Our bill came to $300+ which covered several glasses of wine, a couple shots, and a range of food. While I remember enjoying our food selection, nothing stands out as something I absolutely need to order again. There were a few times when we couldn't find our server so one of us went to stand at the bar to request what we needed. My friends used valet but I found street parking just a couple blocks away which worked for me. A pretty solid experience overall. read more

Location is very nice by the water . The crispy rice tuna and avocado is absolutely amazing . I ordered 3 servings , I wish they would put more instead of just 2 on the plate , however , it was love at first bite .It was my first time at this establishment. Everything came out great food wise . I didn't like the cocktail I chose but I drink it anyways . If you're a sushi person , it's must try ! It is pricey however it's worth to try it at least once . Definitely will go back for the crispy rice tuna and avocado . Also they have an indoor and outdoor area read more

Wow! What a perfect experience at Azumi. My husband and I came here and sat outside on their patio right next to the most gorgeous view of the harbor. We both got a sake flight and shared a couple appetizers. The sake was delicious and so was the chicken gyoza. I think the seaweed salad is not worth the price, so I'd go with something else. We split a variety of sushi rolls and nigiri and everything was some of the freshest sushi I've ever had. Honestly so delicious and not a single piece tasted "fishy". The 6 piece tuna nigiri and the San roll were our favorites. The matchamisu (play on tiramisu) was soooo good for desert. Highly recommend! To top it off, our server Breezy was the kindest guy and super attentive. If you want a casual, low-priced sushi place (which I usually go for and adore), this ain't it. However, this is a beautiful, upscale date night or special occasion spot! read more

I did a drop in to try the flaming king crab roll. I enjoyed the presentation (although the flame was kind of lacking in the day light). The taste and overall quantity of the roll did not warrant it being $36. I had another roll wrapped in something that tasted like paper, which I did not enjoy at all. The service was great though. On a Saturday afternoon, the restaurant was practically empty. I imagine the vibe is much better at night, which I'm still open to trying out. read more

The heat inside was no joke -- I think the grills only made it worse! That said, the experience had some really great highlights. I loved the refreshing wet towels offered at the start -- a nice touch. The miso soup was incredibly flavorful, honestly one of the best I've had. I also really enjoyed the seaweed salad. We ordered the Flaming King Crab Rolls and they were phenomenal. I could've easily made a meal out of just those. The hibachi portion of the night was fun and entertaining, and the food was solid. The garlic fried rice was delicious, the shrimp were huge, and the sauces really elevated everything. I wasn't too impressed with the veggies, but everything else was satisfying. Unfortunately, our server took so long to bring dessert that we ended up just asking for the check and leaving before it arrived. On a brighter note, I highly recommend the lychee martini -- it was light, refreshing, and well-balanced. Next time, I'll probably skip the hibachi area and opt for the sushi bar instead. read more
