We visited Sushi Azabu during the summer. They had a nice outdoor seating, but we wanted to sit inside, as it was a hot day. The inside looked more modern than I expected, with exposed brick wall and the pop of bright green mosaics on the wall. The back room was quite impressive. Large space with gold mural shining with natural light from the skylight.
We ordered Hojicha and Chef's Lunch Omakase, which came with Seasonal Sashimi, Toro Tasting, Chef’s Hot Appetizer, Chef’s Choice of Sushi (Nigiri), Miso Soup, and Dessert.
The amount received was a bit more than I expected, which was great. All the sashimi and sushi piece was great, they mostly just melt in your mouth. Very fresh and high quality you can taste. We also enjoyed the hot appetizer, which was a Gindara fish, it was delicious!
The dessert was a bit interesting... We received the thinnest possible slice of Basque cheesecake. It was almost impressive how thin they were sliced... It was decadent and delicious though.
We had an amazing sushi lunch here, every piece was super delicious, high quality, and made our taste buds to go crazy with happiness. Our server was not so friendly, but it was a-ok. I would love to go back again for more tasty sushi and/or other dishes!
Sushi Azabu is my favorite place in NYC. They have great selection of fish. Servers are knowledgeable and very attentive. They even explain all the fish on the plate for you. Since they do not have a liquor license at the moment, they have good selection of Teas and you got to try the Organic Yuzu Matcha Tea. You will get a pot enough to share for 2. You will get a confirmation call regarding your reservation and the liquor policy.
Had Omakase at the table and it was delicious. I've been to couple of other sushi restaurants that serves Omakase but Sushi Azabu was one of the top quality, and the price is way less expensive compared to others. Server was very attentive and kindly explained all items. I like that fact that they have a choice for hot appetizers. Highly recommend someone who wants a high quality fish for a decent price. **Soy and Wasabi is already on the sushi so its all perfect, but if you need extra, server will kindly help you with it:)
