Sushi
The name Azabu comes from a district in Tokyo, Japan, which began as a hub for merchants and local businesses. Now the city is home to embassies from many countries, giving the area an air of diversity, while preserving the history of local commerce with a modern, nostalgic touch. Plan Do See opened one of its first restaurants in the area, The Tokyo Restaurant, inside an historic building that used to be a bank. Soon after opening, the restaurant was full of a diverse clientele, bringing a lively vibe to the neighborhood. Plan Do See Founder Yutaka, walked by and noticed the restaurant swarming with international guests. It was this moment, in the city of Azabu, that he felt certain of the imminent success of expanding the business abroad.

    Overpriced and underwhelming food. Paying full price 1-piece sashimi and 2 oz. sake pours that elsewhere would give you double those portions for the same money. Saishin at the Gansevoort rooftop has a similar price point but with portion sizes that deliver delicious food at great value. Obnoxious service more interested in upselling than sharing an experience. Not worth it at all.

    Food is excellent - service was not great. I love thé clean simplicity of the decor but feel they could warm up the dinner dining with friendlier lighting in the back - it’s harsh & feels like a high end cafeteria.

    I had the omakase at the table the other day and it was wonderful! The course had 4 appetizers plus additional Uni tasting, and several pieces of nigiri. My favorite sake was Kankiku!

    dined here last night 3/26/19 underwhelmed in every way. mostly by the fish, completely by the lack luster presentation. I expect beautiful perfection for a 500.00 dinner. more like a casual sushi spot except for the outrageous pricing. so OVER the omakase hype. This fad can not die soon enough for me.

    This may have just been a bad night, but my man and I went there on a Thursday at 9:30pm hoping for a romantic evening: instead we were elbow to elbow with very loud drunk people, on either side, and could barely here ourselves talk. It's definitely a cool kids scene, which we were actually trying to avoid. So that was a bummer. Food was solid, nothing memorable, however. Spend your $400 dollars elsewhere.

    When making reservation mentioned it was a birthday dinner. When seated and places the order mentioned it twice. But no accomodation was made for the occassion. No candle nothing. And worst of all our reservation was 8 PM. They txt, emailed, called to confirm. But once we got there we had to wait 30 min for the table.

    Food was amazing!! Unfortunately this was by far the worst service I’ve ever experienced. i.) no towel to start; ii.) made us eat custard with chopsticks not a spoon (didn’t realise until the end of our meal that others got spoons) iii.) gave us soy sauce only after we finished the sashimi; iv.) had to ask for water on numerous occasions; v.) we had to ask for the finger wipes during the sushi course; vi.) after stating we didn’t eat roe to start they served us roe. It literally seemed as if they were punking us! But again the food was amazing.

    Lunch good value. Sushi very good. They need to do something about the smell. Assume since it’s down in basement, lacks proper ventilation. That’s the only negative.

    Sushi AZABU is on many of the "best sushi in New York" lists (even though it lost its Michelin star in 2017), so we tried it and were very disappointed. We ordered many different kinds of nigiri sushi - all of the "special" fish the server recommended, plus fatty tuna, salmon, and sweet shrimp. The quality of the fish was OK-ish. The sushi rice was extremely vinegary which completely overwhelmed the taste of the fish. The seaweed salad was also doused in vinegar. The best thing we had there was the avocado roll. They have an excellent sake, wine, and beer list. Perhaps the omakase at the bar is different than what we were served, but I'm not tempted to try to book a seat at the bar in order to find out.
