Mother's Day lunch only served dinner which was a big disappointment as we love their bento box lunches. An item was already sold out as well. Loud and service was a bit slow, but we understand Mother's Day is a busy day.

We had a corner seat outside in perfect weather. The food was fresh and delicious. I was sad to see the seaweed salad had changed from what I had in the past and felt it wasn't quite as good. Our waiters were very attentive but not intrusive and quickly brought out our orders. I would highly recommend Aozora.

Honest opinion: The food here is excellent, no doubt. But the service is rushed and overly focused on quick table turnover, which takes away from the experience—especially at this price point. The first time I visited (with a party of four), I made reservations a week in advance. The place was busy, which we expected. However, we were asked to order the moment we sat down—even before cocktails. Despite asking to start with drinks, they insisted we order right away. We gave in, and the food came out immediately. Less than an hour later, we were told to wrap up because they needed the table—for a $400+ meal, that left us all frustrated. I gave it another shot recently with my mother and daughter. The place was nearly empty, and again, while the food was fantastic, the pressure to order quickly was still there. Our server—who was kind—asked us three times for our entrée order before our appetizer had even arrived. When I said, “Don’t rush me,” she backed off, but it felt clear the pressure was coming from management. It's disappointing because this could be a top-tier experience if they prioritized the guest over squeezing in an extra table or two. Others I’ve dined with have said they won’t return for the same reason. I want this place to succeed, but they need to recognize where their money comes from—hardworking people looking to enjoy a special night out. There’s plenty of competition willing to offer the same quality of food with a little more respect.

Indoor seating is very cramped, noise level is very loud; outdoor seating better if it's an option. Service excellent, good sake choices.
