    Best quality restaurant out right now. In service and food. They figured out the formula. Everything was perfect. The Spicy Garlic Edamame are a game changer ! I like steaming hot broths. The edamames come with this unique sauce that gives me the same hot pot sensation. You can eat that sauce with any meal

    I enjoyed the ambiance which is a huge factor for me when visiting places. The food itself was just okay. The “A5 Wagyu” was sub-par & the smoked whiskey should have been smoked a little bit longer. The salmon and roe was pretty buttery which was nice. It was our Anniversary and I noted that in the reservation but it was not acknowledged until I mentioned it to my server at the end of the night. There was a bit of a wait even with reservations (about 25 mins). It’s okay for what it is. If you’re in Whittier I would definitely check it out. I wouldn’t travel from out of the area though.

    This is an upscale sushi restaurant. The staff was attentive and personable. Joseph was our server and he did a great job explaining and recommending menu items. Eli was the bartender and made some awesome drinks. I liked the Azabu old fashion so much I had three.

    The atmosphere was great. Staff was also nice. I feel overall the food was overpriced for the small portions. The drinks were great. We waited 20 minutes for a Philadelphia roll. I’d go again maybe for the drinks or light lunch only.

    We had such a great time here! It was our first time and I took my boyfriend for his birthday! He LOVED it! The food is fantastic and the ambiance was very fun! They played good music and the owner came up and introduced himself. You gotta start with the Spicy edamame! It’s fun. It’s excited! And they’re something for everyone! They made a really good Moscow mule and old fashion! Very satisfied!

    I have now been here a handful of times and every single time it has been an amazing experience. From the hostess, to the waitress and waiters, the bartenders and the busboys, everyone is kind, accommodating and friendly. The food is delicious from the sushi, sashimi and the wagyu steak! They have one of the best friend rice sides I have ever tasted. Their craft cocktails will not disappoint! Must try.

The food and service was top-notch. Can’t wait for our next visit. Special shout out to the manager for going out of his way to reach out to me prior to our arrival and get us a table.

    Me and my wife love Sushi and usually can really care less about ambiance and Decore. Azabu really gives you all of the Above, Great Food, Ambiance/Decor, but the best was the Service by their staff and Chefs. They really know how to take care of you and suggest the Rolls or Sushi to try as a first time Customer Which I always appreciate . Now the food was spectacular and done right so fresh and well done on each dish. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a new Hot Spot.
