Reviews for Sushi Azabu in New York, NY
Incredible. Best Omakase in NYC!
One word to describe this establishment-inconsistent. I have visited Azabu 4 times and ordered delivery once,which of course... would deem my rating as precise as one can get. It is such a shame, because I sincerely enjoy this restaurant and would evengive it a high 4 star on days the Head chef is working. On days he is not available or on vacation it is an absolute disasterservice wise and the food is almost a 2 star rating. Everything is Chewy, pale, horribly cut. When he is available everything ispristine. Buttery, fresh, delicious. Take a look at my depressing 150$ delivery order. My Otoro looks like it’s a phantom ofyesterday’s Tuna. Better to close your restaurant on days the head chef isn’t available then keep open and lose clients. Read more
Amazing restaurant! This is my first time to have Omakase, and it was a very pleasant experience I would say Omakase in Azabu is... a classic type. There’s nothing super original or creative, but I really love that when I want to eat great Japanesesushi The food was fantastic. Delicious, fresh, high quality and delicate. Ingredients are so fresh that you can taste theoriginal flavor of these seafood, and the chef is very professional. At the other side of the counter there were Japanesecustomers, and they seems to enjoy the food too Besides, the price I personally think is worth it. Definitely specialoccasion-wise. I compared several restaurants in NYC, the price in Azabu is like in the middle. We were quite full after wefinished. There were 2 starter, 1 sashimi set, 1 tasting, 1 choice of meat, 11 sushi, miso soup and 2 desserts. And mostimportantly the food was fantastic! Highly recommend to reserve to sit at sushi bar. You can not only see how the chef preparethe food, but also the chef will explain everything he serves to you. When we first step into the restaurant it looks like awestern bar so I was quite confused. After they knew we reserved a sushi bar seat, they led us to the basement and it changed toa woody Japanese sushi restaurant vibe immediately. The overall service was also very professional, friendly and flexible. Wepaid 22% tips eventually to show our appreciation (the highest rate they recommend when we paid) At the first time I reservedonline. There’s no counter seat option on the reservation platform, so I added on a note. However, when we arrived, they toldus the sushi bar was currently only available on Thursday, Friday and Saturday (I recommend the restaurant to put that onwebsite). Fortunately they allowed us to change the date without any punishment. And on the other day we changed the date againbecause there was a thunderstorm, and they let us change again. For lots of omakase restaurants if you cancel close to the time,they Read more
Fantastic restaurant. One of the best sushi experiences I've had in NY (or the U.S. for that matter) the Omakase was exactly... enough food and the quality was 5*. Very friendly staff as well which made it truly enjoyable. Read more
Came here on a Friday night for nigiri omakase. Enjoyed the meal a lot. Shari had good level of acidity and not overly sweet,... temperature was just right. The neta (toppings) were seasonal and prepared very well. Service was impeccable and tips isincluded. The restaurant itself is cosy and would be great choice for a date. Minor gripe is that the size of each piece ofsushi was on the small side, and makes it feel less satisfying when you put a piece in your mouth. This is common in NYCthough, so I think it's an NYC thing. For dessert, their Basque Cheesecake was excellent and totally recommended. Overall,excellent meal and would definitely be back. Read more
Sushi Azabu is one of the absolute best sushi restaurants in NYC. Having dined here twice in two years I can say the experience... is not only excellent but also consistent. The toro tasting, included in both omekase options, is a big highlight. Great forspecial occasions as well - I got to try all 3 desserts at the end of a birthday meal! Read more
A great place to have Omakase, highly recommended to sit at the bar so that you can talk to the chef and tell him your... preferences. Very small place, so they cater to small audience = hence delicious or one of the best sushi in NYC Read more
Excellent service, our waiter and the staff were very attentive and nice. Nothing fancy on the place, looks actually quite... cheap. The food mostly ok but i am pretty upset by the dessert where i felt the restaurant was making fun of me, making meunsure about the quality of the rest: we had a single strawberry. Ok it was really flavorful but it really felt like a joke. Read more
