This one is a bit tricky because the food was delicious, but the service was quite bad. We never received one item, even though we reminded the waiter--who we barely saw--and a dish requiring silverware was served, but then got cold after the 15 minute it took us to flag down a waiter for silverware. They were probably understaffed, but still, it was off-putting having an automatic 20% tip added to our (3-person) bill for bad service.

So my baby boy Jude and I went there to get some early birthday sushi everything was great. Service was ok but the food made up for it.Parking: The place is located in Uptown Whittier so for everyone that is not familiar with the area not to worry there is plenty of free parking available all in their parking lot and the streets.Kid-friendliness: It's NOT a cocktail bar it's a Family restaurant with a Sushi bar my kid had a great time.

The appetizer and entre was really good. The portions are just enough, so leftovers. Pricing is fair, atmosphere is nice. The service is prompt. Would recommend and come again.

Yuli was the best!!!The food and cocktails never disappoint here. We had an amazing dinner with the best waitress Yuli. We just loved her, she provided outstanding service with a warm and welcoming demeanor. She demonstrated excellent knowledge of the menu, offering recommendations and accommodating special requests with ease. Overall, her professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail truly enhanced our dining experience. She's a true asset to the restaurant!

The food was incredible. Yes, it's pricey, but this place actually delivers. The flavor isn't just on the walls, each dish is carefully thought through and executed. And then there's the drinks... Not just presentable, but wonderfully balanced. If that wasn't enough, the waitress took an interest in our flavor preferences and made conscientious recommendations, even some substitutions. We had an amazing time and have vowed to return as soon as possible.

We drove from Burbank to check this place out and see what the hype was all about. I really liked our server she was really great. We really enjoyed the food as well. The staff was also friendly, the service was on point and the food was so fresh. We will come back again soon. It was well worth the 1 hr drive.

Best sushi spot in area hands down and better than most of the hollywood spots. The quality of food and drinks are top notch. Great for date night or special occassions. A little pricey but definitely worth the price.
My friend and I had a great time and our waitress Christine was amazing! She gave us great advice on food options. We tried the Fuji roll, lobster roll and geisha roll, these were the best! Thank you! It's a great place to relax and enjoy some time with great people!
I had the most incredible 5 course dinner on Valentine's Day. I wish I did not have lunch that day....but we powered through it like the sushi pros we are. Christine, our server was impeccable to detail, made excellent recommendations and paced the meals so we did not feel rushed and allowed for the food to settle in.

It is okay to place to try once. Wagu wasn't worth it to try. VIP nigiri was disappointed. There wasn't uni or raw shrimp, salmon eggs. Out waiter was good. But who hosted us to the table, he seemed like manager or owner ? He wasn't nice.

I recently visited this sushi spot and let me tell you, it was top-notch! The vibe inside was incredible, super chill and welcoming. The staff was so friendly, especially the bartender Nami and server Sharky. They took such good care of me, I was seriously impressed by their service. Even the manager, whose name slipped my mind, was super welcoming and brought some great energy to the place. It's the perfect spot for a date night, seriously. Oh, and shout out to Martin for recommending the VIP sampler – it was like Amazon quality sushi, seriously amazing. Five stars all the way!

First time at Azabu and it was amazing! Christine was an awesome host for our table, always appropriately checking in on us. Sushi was all phenomenal. Amazing flavours. Dumplings and rolls were all 10/10. Manager was also very accommodating and we look forward to coming back! ?
