    Our experience at Azumi was phenomenal! Tony and Akil were wonderful servers. They both had wonderful recommendations for the food selections and were attentive to our needs for every part of the dinner. They both served with the highest level professionalism and made the experience a memorable one. The food that was prepared by Akil was both flavorful, tender and esthetic to the eye. Thank you for having such wonderful people like Toni and Akil apart of the Azumi staff!

    I've eaten here numerous times and have experienced nothing but phenomenal service and food. I have celiac disease and typically avoid eating out but given the majority of the menu is gluten-free (with clear "GF" markers), including all sauces and marinades, I have far more peace of mind and flexibility over my options. The staff have been very knowledgeable and accomodating—allowing substitutions within the pre-decided courses (price differences accounted for) and most importantly, I have experienced zero judgement or attitude over any questions I've had regarding cross-contamination risk, preparation procedures, etc, which unfortunately isn't common.
