Some of the best sushi I've found in Seattle, and I love that it's an independent family business that's been a staple around here for a long time.

Love going to Azuma as it’s one of the better Sushi restaurants in the West Seattle area. The owners/employees are very friendly and the food is good quality. Only downside is that Azuma has stayed “take out only” since COVID restrictions lifted. This would be fine if inflation didn’t make the prices skyrocket. Sadly, it’s hard to justify take out for such a high price. I would be much happier paying high prices for good sushi if we were able to sit down in the restaurant to be served and eat.

The food was good, but the prices posted in the online menu are not correct. They need to update that.

A great spot with tasty options! We ordered the Una Ju and Chicken Katsu. Both portions were very generous too! One of our favorite spots.

We were looking for sushi in W. Seattle and base upon Googles review and information we chose Azusa Sushi. After scrounging around for parking we entered through the back door only to be told that they were “take out only”. Since we were looking for a place to sit and have dinner we left as we weren’t interested in eating in our car.Parking: Parking in the junction area can be a challenge.

I moved to this area in 2020, just before the COVID shutdowns. This restaurant looked like a great local neighborhood sushi place that I could go to a couple times a month - good neighborhood reviews at that time.Of course then everybody had to shut down for COVID. This restaurant has stayed Take Out only, which I think is a mistake. Their dining area is spacious and nice - and rent in the Junction isn't cheap. It's a shame that they are not using their whole space effectively.My wife and I have been wanting to try it for more than a year now that COVID restrictions have eased, but have been waiting for them to open their dining room. We couldn't wait any longer, so today we got a late lunch. A few rolls from the menu (dragon, dynamite, and crunch roll) and a special request - a spicy scallop hand roll.We waited a few minutes. The lady and the chef were friendly. We took the items to our home nearby.First the good - the presentation was very nice. All 4 items looked pretty good.And the not so good - it was much more expensive than expected, totaling $67 before tip, for the 4 items. The Dragon roll (shown on Google in an old menu) is not $23, not $16 - prices are up over 40%.And the bad - I think a lot of the seafood was just too old. Flavors ranged from 'tasteless' to 'something is wrong with this'. We didn't finish any of the items. For the first time in my life I threw away sushi. It was not edible.My theory is that the take-out only format is not allowing enough business to use the fish in time, which is disappointing because the people seem friendly and the space is nice. My wife has put this on her 'never again' list. At almost $80 for 4 items, I think there are plenty of alternatives.

They are takeout only but the owners are such great people! Great food
Have been coming here for 20 years. Feels like family. Their sushi is an expression of their dedication.

The food is good! The chicken on my teriyaki is nicely charred. I enjoy it very much, it has been my usual when I order here. They do a combo deal that comes with a California roll, and that's what I always opt for. I'm not a big edamame guy, but the edamame here is something else that I get every time. I love the Azuma maki because it has a variety of fish in one roll! But, sometimes, I like to taste the salmon alone, so I get the Alaska roll too! I love the miso soup (reminds me of home as a Japanese). The scallions and tofu, and I drink every drop in the cup they serve it in. The service is great, they are friendly, fast, regardless what you get. Also, the sushi isn't premade and packed to just sit there like in a grocery store. Everything is made to order!

I love Azuma! Have been coming here with a friend who lives in West Seattle for years! Most recently about a month ago we came for take out, luckily we did since they no longer do dine in. I think they’re very reasonably priced and have yummy fresh sushi. My fiancé does not even sushi so it’s convenient that they have several options that were not fish for him. I believe it’s family owned small business. Check it out!
