They have private karaoke rooms if you want something fun to do, but I have never tried that. The service is good and food comes out quickly. I've tried some cocktails here and usually am not impressed. The liquor can be very strong and the taste of the drinks isn't very complex, but maybe I've just tried the wrong things. Besides the cool looking sushi specialties, they have some surprisingly amazing appetizers. The BBQ corn ribs and avocado salad are incredible!!

There are a good selection of 1/2 price options and lots of choices on the menu. It was kind of early, about an hour after opening. Thought it was weird that there was still sweeping and cleaning being done around the bar area. Which led me to think maybe they didn't clean up after closing last night. Also I got hot tea and had to ask for sugar which appeared to be only one available in the whole seating area in that part of the restaurant instead of each table. However, service was good and sushi was fresh.

The service was fine, and they changed our grill proactively. Just a heads-up: since the drinks are served in stainless steel cups, the staff can't see if you're running low on water.

But since it was just me, I opted for seating at the bar. There are 2 bars at this location--one at the drink bar and one at the sushi bar. The drinks are VERY good, and the bartenders are very receptive to your orders and all. Ambiance was good--not too dark, just right. Very chic. I ordered a LOT. Several pieces of sushi, chicken karage (which I saw people post pics of, and that's what convinced me to check it out.), Japanese curry, and some other sashimi and little burgers. They were all fantastic! The chicken karage was the big hit--so delicious you can taste it thru the pictures. The curry wasn't spicy at all, but seeing as it's Japanese style, it's more on the savory and tasty side, not on the spicy side. Overall very delicious. The wagyu sashimi was VERY long (that's what she said), so eating one piece whole isn't recommended. Chew it, then swallow. The mini burgers were everything you love about Japanese takes on purpose burgers. Done perfectly, with that amazing bbq grill taste, too. The sushi was fresh and tasted amazing. My only gripe is that their ordering system is odd; you can only order so many pieces of food per order number. There are order limits, but it's setup such that the kitchen doesn't get overwhelmed. That being said, your orders usually come out pretty quickly. I highly recommend this place!

I got the Hawaiian Poke Sushi bowl and the Baked Scallop California roll to share. I'm used to being disappointed by the portions of poke bowls at sit-down restaurants, but this bowl did not disappoint. The bowl had a generous portion of tuna and everything was so fresh. For the scallop roll, there was a large baked scallop on each piece of sushi. I thought having something warm on sushi might be odd, but it was delicious! I'm still thinking about this meal and need to go back soon!

Shoyou and Sushibruceya are sister restaurants I believe and they're both great quality!…read more My friend showed me this place and it hit the cravings for sushi since we don't have an omakase place here. Most of it is fried rolls, which is ok, and the nigiri and sashimi options are limited. To my surprise the sushi burrito is SO good! It has a great ratio of meat to rice (very little, at that) and it's fresh and yummy. I really enjoyed it despite being a sushi snob. The salmon sashimi also is not fishy whatsoever and is buttery and soft. Yum!

Bathrooms at least the men's bathroom was clean and had plenty of soap and paper towels to wash and dry your hands. The staff is helpful and accommodating. The seating areas are pretty large. Everything is included if you pay for the AYCA. There is Boba tea, with a price listed on the shelf in the cooler, just like the ice cream cups. If you don't get the buffet you have to pay the price for those items, as they will be all carte. The food choices are good, and prepared well. Cash/Credit/Debit are accepted here. You pay when you enter, unlike most buffets that you pay after you finish eating. There is ample parking in front of the restaurant.

The price for an adult is about $20 which is going to bring in people, especially large families. Children under 2 years old eat for free. Children were everywhere. This was a one and done spot for me. The food was fresh and constantly being replenished. It was more of an American food buffet than Asian.

The first thing I noticed when entering the establishment, was that the decor and ambiance hit from a very cool angle ( and the outside area views definitely set things off and enhanced the experience that much more ! ) As I familiarized myself with the Asian infused menu ( Japanese cuisine ) and opted to try the snow crab fried rice... and this was definitely a decision I won't regret ever !! The minute I set my eyes on the meal, I was instantly impressed because you could see chunks of snow crab meat loaded on top of the rice. From my very first forkful I was all in.... The texture and flavor of the rice left my tastebuds in total awe. And the way the rice and crab meat merged together in a form of flavor filled euphoria made me want to personally hug the chef to show my gratitude. I was up against the clock... but my next outing to Azumi I promised myself I would sit down comfortably and take it all in ! Upscale Vibrant Location on the Bmore Harbor that everyone should try at least once ! Amazing Food... Amazing Service... And such an Amazing Scenery !!!

TLDR: Overpriced, tea just wasn't good…read more I tried this place around a year ago because it had amazing reviews, but my drink was so terrible that I couldn't finish it. It had an awful metallic taste, which I think came from the lychee jelly (lychee is not supposed to taste like that). I drink a ton of boba, and have never had something so bad I couldn't finish it before. I came back today to try it again, since the reviews of this place are continuously amazing, and mine is the only bad review. The toppings were the worst part. The tapioca pearls had firm and dry cores (I think it was maybe undercooked), which really brought the drink down. The jelly was not good, and I wouldn't even call it "jelly" personally. It was essentially sugar and flavor pellets with a processed and unpleasant tangy aftertaste. The tea wasn't great either. I sampled their jasmine tea since I really like jasmine, but I wasn't a fan, and I can make better with cheap grocery store tea. I tried their oolong tea, which was decent, but the flavor felt pretty diluted unfortunately. I also tried the Hokkaido tea, which was very sweet, and didn't taste quite like Hokkaido tea in my opinion. Normally I don't mind when boba is sweet, but I feel this place is pushing it too much. I ended up getting a little bit of the Hokkaido tea, and about 5x that amount of the oolong tea (which was fully unsweetened), and it was definitely sweet enough for me. There's a drink I sometimes get when I'm at college called "crème brûlée ube brown sugar milk tea with brown sugar boba". I personally prefer to call it "diabetes in a cup". I think the sweetness of that drink would be comparable to a full cup of the Hokkaido tea. Additionally, $8.46 is an absurd price to pay for this. I can get better boba for $6 down the street, or much better boba for $6-8 about 15 minutes away. If I want genuinely good boba, there's some shops in Rockville that I happily pay $8 a cup for, and they blow this place out of the water. This would be 3 star tea if it was $6. The staff member was nice, and the building itself was cute. The staff member recommended the Hokkaido tea with a pump of brown sugar syrup. This is why I tried the Hokkaido tea, but I didn't opt for the brown sugar pump since I'm not a huge fan of brown sugar boba (I prefer fruit tea and more eastern new-style tea). The "build your own tea" is a fine gimmick, but I don't want to pay $8 for it, especially when the toppings you can add are low quality. Additionally, some places have enough customization on their menu that you can essentially build your own tea anyways.

Sweet Bamboo Boba is hands down the best place I've ever found for bubble tea…read more You can make your own drink exactly how you want it, with your own flavors, combinations, and recipes. They have standard options too, but the fun part is building your own creation. They have bubbles, all kinds of jellies, teas, syrups, toppings, and so many ways to customize it. It reminds me of one of those self-serve frozen yogurt places, but for bubble tea. My go-to drink is strawberry jelly and lychee jelly on the bottom, then I fill the cup about two thirds of the way with ice, add coconut tea up to the top of the ice, and finish it with butterfly pea flower on top.
