Wow. This place has it all…read more Sister and I went on a Friday night- quick service, quick food, AND the ladies who served us were so sweet, attentive, and absolutely the best. The inside is so cute and the plates are so pretty too! Not only are the physical dishes cool, but the presentation of the sushi was too! I got 2 orders of the simple tuna, and one New York. My sister got an order of the California rolls and 2 shrimp tempura orders. Presentation was fantastic, and the sushi was divine. The salmon was so tender and almost buttery in consistency, and the veggies inside the rolls are so fresh and crisp. I always find sushi so refreshing and it hit the spot. I'd also like to mention how fantastic they are about dietary restrictions. Tons of vegan/vegetarian options PLUS GLUTEN FREE SOY SAUCE, APPS, AND A MENU. For the celiacs out there: I didn't get glutened! They took it seriously and I had no issues! If you're not sure where to go, go to Kanbu. The entire meal was around $65, and we had a lot of sushi plus a massive pot of tea. Sushi can be so expensive and I find this place to have great prices, especially for the size and quality of sushi! If you want to support authentic, local places in Ann Arbor, go to kanbu! My only regret is that I didn't take pictures.

I love a veggie roll, and the sweet potato tempura here is possibly my favorite in Ann Arbor. My sister is obsessed with the sushi burritos from Kanbu. The service is always kind and attentive.

The ones I ate were the Bibimbap roll and Special California Roll. The bibimbap tasted good but the cabbage that wrapped it, kept falling apart. It was a struggle to eat it. I wish they used normal seaweed. Also, the gojichang was pretty spicy so beware it does have a kick! The Special California roll was good! It helped soothe the spicyness from the Bibimbap roll. The miso soup was good. Seating was enough. The bathroom was creepy because it was dark and the lights were flickering. No thanks! Service was good too. She was very friendly!

I went back to Azalea for a family dinner and didn't realize they had changed their menu since the…read morefirst time I visited. The quality of the food is still amazing and worth a visit, but there were some items I wish stayed on the menu. For example, the spicy salmon crispy rice is no longer available and only available in the tuna form. The portions are also smaller, now coming in three small bites rather than the two big bites from before. The gochujang rigatoni and kimchi paella are also unavailable. Some new dishes I tried and loved were the short rib and the grilled octopus. The octopus was incredibly tender and I couldn't stop eating it! It also comes with delicious potatoes. The short rib was a larger portion and also tasted delicious. The rest of my table ordered the miso cod. The miso cod was delicious, but the portion was quite small and arguably not worth its price compared to the short rib. Cocktails that I recommend are The Gatsby and The Promised Neverland if you like sweeter drinks! For the service, we felt a bit rushed as we were dining. Normally the drinks come out followed by the appetizers, but our appetizers came first and the drinks came with our mains. I think there was a missed opportunity to sip on our drinks and chat with our party as we enjoyed the restaurant's ambience. Otherwise, the food came quickly and was well served.

I'm pretty torn on this one, hence the 2 stars. I came here with a friend for dinner and we were…read morerudely greeted and told that it would be best if we sat at the bar because they were busy. It was restaurant weekend in downtown Ann Arbor and we didn't have a reservation, so we obliged, although the space was pretty empty. Once we got to the bar, the young waitress slammed menus down in front of us and acted extremely annoyed by our presence. After bothering us every minute for the next 5 minutes to order, me and my friend put in our orders in haste. We then waited for 30 minutes for our meals to arrive. I got the "Amazing Shrimp" sushi roll and my friend got the "Grilled Angus Short Rib". As noted on the menu it comes with Mashed Potatoes, Shishito Peppers, and Garlic Chives. Per my friend's request, the order did not come with the Shishito Peppers or Garlic Chives, but it also didn't have the potatoes. After asking for the potatoes, our server went back and we could hear her yelling at the kitchen staff. Minutes later she came out with a bowl of 3 potatoes, not mashed and not hot. My roll was great and I'd definitely order again if I come back, but I'm honestly not too inclined to after this experience. Lastly, the restaurant itself was freezing. It was a cold day but it was way colder inside than it should've been. We ended up keeping our coats on for most of dinner. I really do want to like it here because the vibe seemed very modern and clean, however the service, food, and level of professionalism fell short of my expectations.

My husband ordered the seafood pancake and I ordered the bibimbop with tofu. Hubby's seafood pancake tasted like old oil, the seafood contained was way overcooked and was bland. No hit of any seasoning. The tofu in my dish was coated with something that once it was mixed into the hotter dish components melted into an unappealing goo. My food was also seriously under seasoned. The provided chili sauce and soy sauce added in a desperate attempt to make it taste like something, barely made a dent in the blandness. Definitely a disappointment.

Annie was our lovely server who was SO kind and asked if she could give our baby avocado. She brought over a nicely cut avocado plate. Sooo kind!! It was his first time trying avocado and he loved it! This will be his new favorite restaurant ;0) I am usually not a sushi lover but am slowly becoming one. I surprised my husband a lot by wolfing down everything! Everything tasted delicious!! My favorite was the Salmon On The Beach. The smokey flavor mixed with the crunchy bits was unbeatable!! I also thoroughly enjoyed the Vege Love Roll (the sweet potato was so unique and delicious)!! The Spicy tuna roll and Mickey's On Fire were also very good. We definitely would return! We also want to try their Korean dishes. Two great cuisines in one restaurant! They have a lot of Totoro decoration - so cute! And their booths look legit Japanese. I highly recommend this little hidden gem!!

No worries. It's clean and welcoming. We sat, my dad choosing a bench side table with a cushion. I ordered a couple appetizers from the order pad at the table while we waited for our third person. Hot tea, water l, edamame and takoyaki. All very good. The woman that greeted us was so warm and friendly. She was also our server. I ordered the sushi lunch bento. They had teriyaki beef bento.
