Ordered the premium sashimi. It was good but not worth the $120. Some of the pieces were “fishy” which was not pleasant. The red dragon was soggy and the teriyaki chicken was dry.

Freshest most beautiful fish I’ve had in awhile! Everything was absolutely delicious. We had the crunchy tuna roll, titanic roll, Aozora roll and hamachi and sake nigiri. All amazingly light and fresh. Will be back!!

Food is good but very expensive compared to surrounding sushi joints. Service felt very rushed. Our table was sticky when we sat. We asked to have it cleans and it was wiped again with a dirty towel. You could tell it was dirty due to the colors and smell of the rag. We then used out napkins to cover the table. When we requested new napkins we got paper towels. Then had to request actual cloth napkins which we got.

Overall the sushi we received was well prepared and fresh. The Uni was fresh and the ikura was also fresh. The California roll was incredibly small and the salad came out with lettuce leaves larger than the side of your hand which means you had to cut the salad in order to make it edible. Nonetheless, this is always a very good and enjoyable experience.

Great food, great ambience. Way too over priced. Similar quality/quantity Japanese sushi at Sawtelle in LA would be half the price. They do have lots good sake and whiskey selection.

As a regular customer, I always ordered the box lunch which I always loved. It includes a generous side order of tempura, cabbage salad, tasty miso soup, rice along with a choice of one entree of either salmon, pork, chicken or beef. Recently I decided to try something else. I chose to try the wagyu beef hamburger on a bun. It has a great flavor (not sure what the sauce is) and has tempura pickles and the usual fixings. It also comes with potato salad which is also delish!! It's my new favorite!! As an appetizer, the gyoza is also super delicious. Everything is made from fresh ingredients.

I used to love this place and was a regular. But tonight was a deal-breaker. Look at the pic. You really think your locals can't tell you're insulting us with this? I bet I speak more Japanese than the chef who thought this was an omakase.

Service was only "fair" as we asked for water several times. Waiter was not attentive, perhaps too many tables. Excellent food and food runners were very good at delivering sushi items created by the chefs.

Good quality sashimi fish, could be colder. We always have good starters as well. (Karate, Brussels sprouts). Cocktails are nice (MaiTais). Service a bit slow this time with multiple large parties for graduation. Should have had more servers. Tried to put down a credit card to pay and it took over 15 min for the server to come back. Suggestion: instead of all those separate menus (food, cocktails, sake, specials etc), how about making one menu with pages (these are confusing, take up too much space on the table).

We had eaten at Aozora several times in the past and always had a good meal and good service. Our experience on Mother's Day was excellent. We had 12:00 reservations and, despite the restaurant being exceptionally crowded, we were seated at a lovely outdoor table immediately. The service was also extremely punctual with no delay in taking the order or serving the food. The quality of the meal was up to their usual standards. I needed a change of one of the ingredients on a sushi roll, and despite the large number of patrons, this was done without complaint or delay. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this restaurant.

Drinks and service took way too long. For the price they need to do a little better. Waitress said the manger stepped in to make the drinks. Hey manager, that’s your job to get it done when the staff is overloaded. Waitress was very nice, it was not her fault.

Made a reservation for 9:15, there’s a 15 min window, got there at 9:20. When we arrived, it was instant awkwardness. The team was already packing up, mopping, cleaning, rushed us to seat and order. Barely had time to read the menu, just picked three random items. Told us the bar was closing before we even sat. Told us they were closing the kitchen before we could even order. Very unprofessional and skewed my experience. Not sure if I’ll be returning. Definitely sharing this with my hospital co workers. Food was good but ate it super fast so honestly not the vibe.

Our server, she was great, but after when we went to go have a drink at the bar… Nobody would help us. It was almost like we were a bother. We don’t mind spending more for sushi but it was $260 for two people (before our drink at the bar). That’s ridiculous.
