I came here after walking by a few times and didn't realize what I was in for! The restaurant…read moreitself is small, but I went for a late lunch around 2pm so didn't have any trouble getting a table. The menu has quite the variety and so many unique options (baked sushi?!). 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!

Ate here about a month ago and had a nice time. We got the ~$50 package, which was great value…read more Highly recommend the fries--they genuinely taste like McDonald's! 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. You'll just need to flag them down if you want a refill The atmosphere was really nice too

Hot damn, this place is amazing! Usually lots of people do the Japanese grill, which is very…read moresimilar to Korean BBQ grilling where it's communal. 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!

Upon entering, you're greeted with what feels like an authentic Japanese garden - very cool design. On a Friday night, there was no wait and we were seated immediately. You have the option to order directly from your phone - scan the QR code, view the menu, and order, and pay. Either way, after looking over the menu, we decided on Chicken Fried Rice, a Salmon Roll, and Cheese Wontons. Everything looked appetizing, but lacked any true flavor - bland and blah. Overall, this was a forgettable experience.

The fish is always super fresh, delicious & served in generous portions. The prices aren't the cheapest, but you're definitely paying for quality. Temari Special Sashimi Combo ($33) - Comes with rice, miso soup & the appetizer of the day. They give you tons of fish, making it 1 of the best deals on the menu. They're always super fresh & I've never left disappointed. I recommend sticking with the sashimi or tonkatsu. Their ramen is just mediocre, so I'd avoid it.

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 !!!

STAY AWAY. Absolutely horrible service!!!…read more Our server, Nye, was incredibly rude & the whole AYCE experience felt like a complete rip-off. He repeatedly gave our orders to other tables & when we complained and tried to order more food, he told us we COULDN'T order anything else until our missing orders arrived. Except THEY NEVER CAME!!! After waiting 20+ minutes, we complained again and Nye gave us such a rude and condescending tone and response: "We have other customers too ya know." Seriously?! WE'RE CUSTOMERS TOO, ya douche bag. It got so ridiculous that 38 MINUTES into our meal, our table of FOUR had received a grand total of TWO plates of meat - even those were the plates we had to take from the neighboring table because our food kept getting sent elsewhere. And here's the kicker: AYCE is only 90 MINUTES. More than 1/3 of our allotted dining time was basically wasted waiting for food that never came, while our server wouldn't even let us order more. We only FINALLY started receiving our meat after we complained to the Vietnamese manager. He immediately stepped in, got things moving & extended our dining time to make up for the ridiculous delay. Shout out to him!!! But having to escalate to a manager just to receive the food we were PAYING FOR is absurd. And maybe Nye felt like he didn't have to bother because the gratuity was already automatic due to our party size. That would certainly explain the complete lack of effort. When your tip is guaranteed regardless of how badly you treat the table, I guess actually serving your customers becomes optional? STAY AWAY or at the very least, pray you don't get Nye as your server.

Very attentive and gave great recommendations. Since I was with three hardy eaters, we went with Ozeki and it was plenty of food at the end. Check them out - highly recommend.

We tried/recs: - Niku miso (5/5): top rec, loved this one! Not one of their most popular (according to our waitress), but I really enjoyed it. Flavorful, just the right texture, 2 different types of pork, and a raw egg to mix in. - Karaage curry don (4.5/5): my mom really liked the chicken & curry in this, I was surprised! It was filling, though it doesn't look huge at first glance! Lots of rice at the bottom. - Gyoza (4.5/5): tasty, small appetizer. Comes w/ 6 pcs.
