Mixed Fried Rice
Ezra J.

Honestly needed this so thank you to them! No AC at my place so I came by to eat some lunch and chill! The food was delicious and will be coming back again for more. The music was also super good! Ariana Grande yes plz!!

Sashimi
Rom P.

Fresh, well-balanced Shogun Plate I and was impressed with the quality and presentation. The plate came with a great mix of nigiri, sashimi, and rolls, featuring fresh salmon, tuna, and white fish with clean flavors and generous cuts. Nothing was over-sauced, which really let the fish shine. The rice was well-seasoned and held together nicely, and the avocado-to-fish ratio in the rolls was spot on. Service was friendly, the atmosphere was casual and comfortable, and while prices lean slightly high, the freshness makes it worth it. Overall, a solid neighborhood sushi spot--I'd definitely order the Shogun Plate again.

Cute cranes and ambiance

All the apps were delicious and fresh! The sauces were so fresh with cute garnishes in them.

Love the ambiance in this spot! The shrimp tempura was very yummy. I definitely was amazed with the Cali baby roll & crunch roll. The Katsu don roll was delicious. The spot had great parking and was a quiet area. Highly recommend and def coming back.

Great food and good bar.
JR A.

The food, service, and staff are amazing. Obi's is a true hidden gem. Try the Obi's Roll and nigiri salmon belly.

Samurai Plate
Chuckie R.

Should have been 3.5....but no half star. Strip center location...almost empty on a Sunday evening. Sat at bar. Ordered Samurai Plate...prep time was longish..food was ok. Super Cali roll...not super. Salmon skin hand roll was chared to submission. Price was in line.

Double Crunch Roll with barely any eel or spicy mayo
Queen S.

The sushi was good, but the prices were extremely high. They barely put any spicy mayo or eel sauce on the rolls, yet still wanted to charge $1 extra for each. There was almost none on my roll to begin with, which was disappointing. There's plenty of indoor seating, and it wasn't very busy during lunch, which was nice. Just make sure to bring cash or a physical card--they don't accept tap-to-pay.

Han L.

So much regret while eating this. So hard to eat. Look at the sushi. It's so much worse than grocery store. salad has this terrible dressing on top. chicken is so dry and tough. by principle, i only give one star when it's inedible or something with service, but it was just so hard to finish.

Reviews are largely positive. People praise the fresh, flavorful sushi, friendly, attentive service, and a cozy, clean atmosphere.

Exceeded my expectations! We decided to stop by on a whim on a Saturday evening, and I'm so glad we…read moredid. I've heard incredible things about Azuki Sushi and have been wanting to try it for the longest time. We arrived right at opening without a reservation and were seated almost immediately. The sushi bar is intimate and cozy, and we loved being able to order directly from the sushi chefs. We started with the toro sashimi, followed by Spanish mackerel nigiri, and finished with an incredible roll (I wish I remembered what we ordered because it was that good!). Everything was fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. Azuki Sushi and their staff truly exceeded our expectations. If you're a sushi lover, this place is a must-try! I couldn't recommend it more and would absolutely encourage anyone who appreciates great sushi to add it to their list. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

Azuki Sushi is such a cute spot! Thankfully, we managed to snag a table without much fuss. Well,…read moretechnically, I made a reservation while we were driving around looking for parking, so we got a little lucky there. We were a small party, which probably helped. We ended up seated upstairs, and the space was adorable. I tend to gravitate toward traditional Edomae-style nigiri, where the focus is on the quality of the fish, the rice rather than a lot of bells and whistles, aka sauces. But I also appreciate a creative roll when it's done well. We enjoyed the Bonsai roll, with its crunchy taro and sweet potato. We also had the salt and pepper karaage, eggplant, otoro nigiri, hotate nigiri, and vertigo roll. The drinks were tasty, too! While I enjoyed our meal, I wasn't completely blown away. That said, I do think it's hard to judge a restaurant based on one visit because not all dishes are created equal, and maybe I just didn't order the right things. Overall, Azuki is a cute little spot in a nice area, with a variety of offerings and good drinks. A pleasant sushi outing, and I wouldn't mind coming back to try a few other things on the menu. Next time, I'll remember to take photos and I might let the sushi pros guide my ordering a little more!

My friends…read moreand I came on a Wednesday evening and we were sat outside due to the inside being packed full. The staff were super friendly and accommodating, offering to move us as soon as something inside opened up, but the night was beautiful and we loved the outside vibes anyways. Throughout the meal, the service was also top quality. We were checked on consistently and everyone was very kind. For drinks, we tried the strawberry soda, matcha latte with whole milk, and the iced earl grey lavender milk tea. The matcha had a satisfying earthy flavor to it, but my favorite had to be the milk tea. Those earl grey and lavender flavors were vibrantly present with each sip, complementing each other deliciously. After serious debating, we ending up with four food options: The hayashi omurice, chicken karaage, tuna mayo bakudan onigiri, and the hatsuzakara curry. The omurice was definitely my favorite of the night, followed closely by the karaage! The only thing I wasn't satisfied with was the onigiri which just fell on the bland side in comparison with all the other amazing food. Still, the filling was tasty once I broke through the mountain of rice! Overall, this was a great experience for my friends and I, and we would definitely recommend others to try it out!! It was the perfect place to be for some warm comfort food.

Apparently, our table had been ready, but the previous party had already paid and refused to leave. The staff eventually let us sit separately while waiting, and I appreciated how communicative they were throughout the situation. Food: We ordered the Hayashi Omurice, Salmon Onigiri, and Karaage. Unfortunately, the food was pretty disappointing. The Karaage was alright and probably the only dish we somewhat enjoyed. No one was a fan of the Hayashi Omurice, and while the Salmon Onigiri was much bigger than your typical onigiri, it was about 90% rice with barely any filling. I also found it pretty lacking in flavor. The presentation was definitely cute, but the food itself didn't live up to it. Service: The staff was kind and communicative throughout the long wait, which we really appreciated. Ambiance: Very homey and comforting inside. The space and food presentation make it a cute spot for pictures. Unfortunately, the service and ambiance were the highlights of our visit rather than the food. It's a shame because the place is really cute, but I don't see myself coming back.

There are a few servers that bring the skewers to the table and I was happy that the skewers arrived pipping hot and fresh off the grill! For those worried about not being full, there is a delicious rice, seaweed, green tea/chicken broth bowl that can be shared among the table. I also saw another table order a bowl of regular rice. Our table's favorite skewers were the Scallops, Vein, Gizzard, and Meatball. The scallops had the best flavor on the menu. The veins were charred and marinated very well. The gizzard was tender and cooked really well. The meatball was super juicy and flavorful! Fried firefly squid was amazing! A very thin layer of batter and all squid legs which are my favorite. Served alongside a mayo and ponzu? dipping sauce. The Squid and Heart skewers were the least popular with our table. While the squid was very tender, there just wasn't much flavor and I prefer more char on my skewers but perhaps that would have made the texture too chewy? The heart was also tender, but super wet and kind of bland. Again, my personal prefer is for my skewers to be more charred.

I made a reservation for 5 people, just a few days earlier before going. When you get there, they give you a menu and you can write down how many orders of each you would like. We did order quite a few. I wish I had taken more pictures. Our favorites : the karaage chicken, edamame beans, kimchi (SO good), pork belly, beef skewers, chicken meatball We did order some steamed oysters - it was more like an oyster soup with 3 whole oysters in it. We were not a fan of the broth. Also ordered some chicken thigh skewers, quail eggs, bacon wrapped asparagus, and a few other items that I wish I can remember haha! Overall it was a great time and the staff were really friendly. They made it a great birthday experience for my boyfriend and even brought him out an ice cream with a candle for his birthday! I'm glad we got to try a wide variety of items on their menu, and would go back just for their kimchi, chicken meatball, and pork belly skewers! We live walking distance here, and it would be nice to walk over for a Sapporo and some skewers for a date night!

I usually hesitate getting citrusy rolls because they end up tasting the same as any other place or the citrus part over powers everything, but this was unique and the flavors balanced each other out.

You feel like you're in Tokyo. Alas, right before COVID social media blew it up and now there is always a line and a wait, I'm sure the business is happy but I miss my local late night after work izikaya. None the less. I still frequent as much as possible. The wait is the biggest deterrent if I'm hungry hungry. I'd suggest, especially if a party bigger than 2, showing up early to put your name on the list. The decor- classic traditional izikaya, if you've been to Japan, you know. Beer, sake, and tons of options for small plates and sushi to share, and of course some amazing ramen. Service- we've always had great service here, the staff is Japanese so for those looking for the "American" style service, may be a bit off putting. No large smiles and how is your day, it's more what would you like to eat and let me get it for you. The food, the food always brings me back. Jelly fish salad- always a must to start Negi Hama - we ordered 2 this time to share cause it was so good Hamachi Kama- because duh, it was perfectly cooked and tasted AMAZING!! Player 2 got the Hakata ramen and I got the Shoyu. I always go back and forth, honestly you can't go wrong with either. If you like the thicker more rich broth though I'd say stick with the Hakata.
