We had an excellent experience at Azumi while celebrating my husband’s belated birthday! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make the evening special. The ambiance was elegant and perfect for a celebratory dinner. The food was absolutely phenomenal — each dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The sushi was some of the best we’ve ever had, and the cocktails were crafted to perfection. What stood out the most was the exceptional service. The team was attentive, friendly, and made sure every detail was taken care of. They even added thoughtful touches to make my husband’s birthday extra memorable. Thank you, Azumi, for an unforgettable evening. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion!

This restaurant should really be considered one of the top two or three restaurants in Little Italy. Their food is awesome. The service… It’s personal. If you’re looking to get in and out in 15 minutes, this isn’t your place… But if you’re looking for a fantastic meal, reasonably priced, in a comfortable casual dining room with thoughtful old school service, this is your place!
