“Good food in fun environment. Nice choices. A little more education about the process would have helped. I am older so the all automated menu was a bit off putting. However thevteam helped. A little bland in flavor. I would return. Check it out.“

“This was our first time at Azuma Sushi. My toddler niece loves having sushi with me for lunch, and her go-to is usually avocado rolls, miso soup, gyoza, and tempura, sometimes chicken teriyaki. We also ordered steak and scallop skewers which were pretty tiny. In addition, we ordered a sashimi assortment, unagi nigiri, and shrimp nigiri.

Overall, while the food was good, I wouldn’t place it among the top-tier sushi spots we frequent. The service was good—friendly and attentive—and the ambiance was authentic, with traditional decor and a spacious layout.

We arrived late for lunch, so there was no wait, and parking in the plaza was plentiful. Since we were there right before their lunch closing, we had to eat quickly, which was a challenge with my toddler niece’s slow eating pace. However, they didn’t rush us at all.

We had an enjoyable time, but given the many sushi options in the Bay Area, especially along Stevens Creek in Cupertino, we’d likely explore other places before returning.

Kid-friendliness: Yes, very family friendly.“

“A casual eatery for Japanese udon noodles. The menu was largely different types and styles of noodles. Service was quick. The udon noodles tasted fresh, and the broth was flavorful. I tried the Utsuke Udon Tsukemen, which had the noodles and broth served separately and then you add the noodles to the broth when eating. It was a solid dish. We also added a side green salad for some fiber and greens.“

“I came here a few years ago and thought it was good. Recently came again and their roll meat to rice portions are not great, I prefer rolls with more fish/meat. The sashimi was fresh with good portions so maybe their nigiri is more worth here“

“Good selection of healthy foods. Their beef is so tender . Fried rice is to die for. The chef Heli is so professional, very precise and amiable. Our waitresses/server , Maya, was so pleasant and attentive to guests . Next time I go back I have to try their seafood selections. My only complaint is the location . It should be out there along Stevens Creek like in Santana Row rather than hidden in that dark corner of the complex. But definitely I will recommend it to my friends.“

“A random, last minute find on a Friday night with no wait and can accommodate a party of two with an infant in a carseat.
Quaint and no frills restaurant with omakase. Our omakase sashimi order was about 107 dollars, a bit pricey and presentation was not very impressive but every bite was so fresh! Their miso soup was quite delightful, better than most miso soup I’ve had.

Kid-friendliness: We brought our infant in a carseat in, placed the carseat on a chair and tucked it between the wall and the table. I see other families with small kids dining comfortably there too.“
