    Best sushi in San Diego, by far. Service is great, ambience is good, was a little too loud but other than that it’s the best sushi spot in SD.

    Incredible sashimi, scrumptiously creative sushi rolls, fabulous sake and cocktails and overall, an amazing menu with mouthwatering selections. Authentically Japanese. The service is beyond stellar. The ambiance is graceful and quietly elegant yet perfection in its simplicity. It’s my favorite Japanese restaurant in San Diego ♥️♥️♥️

    We went for my husbands birthday with a couple friends. We’d heard so many people recommend this place and finally decided to try it. Everything was so tasty and equally beautiful. Staff were polite and attentive, and the ambiance in general was very nice. Will definitely be back!

    Best sushi hands down. Nobu, Sushi Roku, Uch Scottsdale, these places have nothing on Azuki. Literally amazing flavor and fresh sushi. Servers at sushi bar and waitress are so kind & friendly too. A MUST sushi hot spot.

    We like this restaurant a lot, eaten there and taken out but the service this time was quite rushed, even after we asked to please space out the entrees, they came while I was still finishing the last bite of our nigiri appetizers; the quality and freshness still quite good.

    We came for my wife’s birthday. There were five of us and they accommodated us very well, especially given the fact that I initially only made the reservation for four. Service was quick and the food was outstanding. Great recommendations from the server. I can’t comment on the atmosphere inside the restaurant as we ate at one of the outdoor tables. But it was fine For a sidewalk table. Overall, a great experience! We will definitely be back! Be sure to try the Uni toast!
