This was our first time at Azuma Sushi. My toddler niece loves having sushi with me for lunch, and her go-to is usually avocado rolls, miso soup, gyoza, and tempura, sometimes chicken teriyaki. We also ordered steak and scallop skewers which were pretty tiny. In addition, we ordered a sashimi assortment, unagi nigiri, and shrimp nigiri.Overall, while the food was good, I wouldn't place it among the top-tier sushi spots we frequent. The service was good--friendly and attentive--and the ambiance was authentic, with traditional decor and a spacious layout. We arrived late for lunch, so there was no wait, and parking in the plaza was plentiful. Since we were there right before their lunch closing, we had to eat quickly, which was a challenge with my toddler niece's slow eating pace. However, they didn't rush us at all. We had an enjoyable time, but given the many sushi options in the Bay Area, especially along Stevens Creek in Cupertino, we'd likely explore other places before returning.

Not the best sushi place.The miso soup is served room temperature and is so bland. There are SO many places that serve better miso soup!!The Karaage items are incredibly dry and overcooked...The "service" is terrible. You have to get up and ask for help, because they completely ignore you once they bring the food.

Been coming here for Christmas eve dinner for a couple years. We're usually a big group about 12-14 people. The servers come around pretty often. Food came out quickly too. I got a 2 item dinner to share with my toddler. She ate a little bit which is always a win. I've also came here with my toddler and they have a great lunch bento. They have a toddler cup but I wish it wasn't ceramic in case it falls. Other than that I felt comfortable coming with a toddler and will come again.

There's no shortage of good Japanese food in San Jose, but Azuma might take the cake for my current top spot! Service, lighting and ambiance inside, and food was all top notch. Uni $20 MP as of Sep 2024 - 9/10Two rolls that felt generously filled and high quality uni. This was definitely on par with Santa Barbara, though it wasn't sourced from there or Japan. Delicious, one of the few times I've genuinely enjoyed uni! Sashimi Lover's Bento 9/10 Oh my gosh I love the yellow tail, salmon sashimi, and cucumber salad. Beautiful balance and great technique on the sashimi. My only qualm was the salmon rolls were not great, 5/10 for those. Girlfriend got a different roll that I forgot the name of, but also very tasty! Unfortunately for my wallet, I think I'll be coming back soon hehe.

The exterior of this restaurant looks interesting. For a Sunday evening, it's not crowded. Plenty of spaces to park in. The lights inside makes it dark and cozy, and there are tatami mat seatings for those who enjoy that vibe.Sadly, this is a restaurant I do not want to come back to. There was a splotch of odd-looking residue on the table that hasn't been cleaned. I didn't get to read the menu yet, and right when I sat down, they were pushing me to order already. It didn't feel pleasant. There were also a few small stains on the plates.The menu had a huge variety of items. I had grilled teriyaki chicken with rice, salad, and miso soup. The soup was fantastic. I felt the grilled chicken teriyaki could significantly have less sauce. The portion was generous, but I kind of felt stomach hurt after eating this meal. Sanitation is a big thing for me, and this impression didn't last well.

Our family is ECSTATIC to know that Azuma has reopened for business! This is by far *the* best Japanese cuisine in the Bay! This is our spot! (It's family-owned too!) They have THE best teriyaki, THE best in-house salad dressing, *the* best tempura & tempura dipping sauce, *the* best gyoza & gyoza dipping sauce & SO MUCH MORE! Our favorite is the traditional Japanese seating areas & private room for larger parties. (We often have family meals there with many family members.) They offer regular chairs & tables too. Service can be hit or miss, but honestly we do not go there for the extraordinary service. We go there for the bomb food!

Came here for dinner last week and it was the first time I had been back here in many years. The place has changed quite a bit since the last time I was here. Parking is still very easy. We were greeted and seated right away. The first thing I noticed is the lovely Japanese music that used to play in the background is gone, and it has be replaced with silence and the background noise coming from the kitchen. The lovely geisha girls wearing the beautiful Kimono's have been replaced my waitress dressed in all black. The service is very efficient but cold. I did notice there were no bussers clearing the tables, and that the restaurant seemed to be understaffed. Although the restaurant has lost its warmth and its charm, the food is still very good and the portions are very large. We all had leftovers to take home with us. The salmon teriyaki was delicious. I do recommend coming here for a meal.

Very generous cuts of fish on their sushi rolls! Great value for the quality. I recommend the Under The Sea roll - this was my favorite and had a good blend of flavors. A hefty roll! The Double Roll is also a great option for those who enjoy simplicity and one kind of fish in particular.The table shared the Beef Sukiyaki, which is on the sweet side. Very flavorful and packed with umami! I enjoyed this a lot. A good contrast from the sushi we ordered. I also tried the Escolar Nigiri, which was a thin cut. The quality was decent and the fish was fresh.

Again with the incredibly slow service. Food arrived at different times for our table of 4. For the $22 price, the portion of fish was way too small in the Spicy Sashimi Donburi. Also so much rice that tasted like butter when I prefer plain. Splurge on the $27 chirashi that has a lot more protein. No one came to refill our empty waters. The bill was left at our table without a word, and before asking for dessert, and it was someone's birthday. It was quite rude. Tables around us were left dirty for a long time. They need more servers and cleaners.
