Amazing first experience dining here; was too hot for soup so skipped those. Had chawanmushi (just a tiny appetizer to whet your appetite), a salad w/apple dressing, 2 sushi rolls (crab, salmon), and fishcake tempura with onion salad (mixed w/mayo which sounds weird but it was delish). You help yourself to water and tea.
Def not an entry level Japanese resto, but recommend it. Knocking a star off atmosphere because it was crazy hot with the door open.
Delicious handmade udon noodles! There are lots of options when it comes to what to have those noodles in. The price may look high but the portion is huge and for handmade noodles and high quality soup and accompanying meats, seafood, or vegetables it’s completely worth it. The space is small and it’s not easy to see from the street, so look for All the Best Pet Care and it’s to the right. Service is solid with a small but mighty team working in a small kitchen....read full review
I love this place. I go here often and the food is exceptional. The chef makes the noodles by hand, the broth is all made in house, and it is the most authentic udon I've ever had. I love this place so much. Thank you for bringing a taste of Japan to Seattle and for putting love into every dish. The portion sizes are massive and it's so great.

Azuki is a renowned restaurant specializing in authentic Japanese udon. Located in the city, it is considered one of the best places to enjoy this traditional noodle dish, with reviewers drawing comparisons to the udon found in Tokyo. The restaurant's intimate setting, with seating for less than 20 people, creates a Japan-like atmosphere, providing a unique dining experience.
The udon and broth at Azuki are highly praised, with the Garlic Pork, Signature Beef, Yuzu Shio, Miso Shippoku, and Mentaiko udon being particularly popular choices. Reviewers have commended the noodles for their exceptional texture and chewiness, noting the skilled handmade preparation. The restaurant also offers Unagi fried rice and curry, both of which are praised for their authenticity.
Azuki has gained a loyal following among locals since its opening in early March 2020. The owner, Ryuji-san, is described as a dedicated chef who takes pride in serving genuine Japanese udon. Diners have praised the restaurant's attention to detail, with the small chawanmushi, pickled cabbage, and azuki bean jelly that accompany the udon adding value to the meal.
Due to its popularity and intimate size, Azuki can experience long wait times, so it is recommended to arrive early or be prepared to wait. The restaurant offers both dine-in and takeout options, catering to a wide range of customers. Reviewers have highlighted the restaurant's ability to transport them to Japan, with its authentic flavors and fresh noodles.
