Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Diamond Bar

Food, service and everything inbetween were amazing! Jake is an absolute star of a server and made our anniversary evening so special and memorable. Couldn’t recommend this place more for a special evening or if you just want to enjoy some really great italian food.

I’m a guy who doesn’t usually write reviews. Good food and service are expected when I go for a night out. But, Azabu is a place where simply goes above and beyond expectation to give you a high-end, premium experience. It is so awesome to them in Whittier! Definitely a place to go when you want to impress a date or you have a special occasion to celebrate! Every time I come, I keep ordering different things on the menu, and I am never disappointed! The sushi is always high-end. This time I ordered the Charred octopus as an appetizer - I mean, it was SO GOOD! I’ll be ordering this again and again! Also had their delicious signature sushi roll with wagyu beef slices. It comes out with an incredible presentation, unveiled with mysterious smoke swirling around it. The wagyu is melt in your mouth, and I absolutely LOVE the subtle tinge of smokiness that is imparted to the flavors. On past visits, I have ordered Japanese beers and sake. They have some delicious high end options that you don’t get at other sushi restaurants (even really good ones). On this visit we explored several different cocktails. Every single one was smooth and well balanced. We were celebrating, right, so I was delighted to try their top level old fashioned., and yes it is actually worth the price tag! When you come here, this is not a place to skimp, it’s a place to celebrate and treat yourself to a premium experience. Don’t be afraid to try the high end items, I promise you, they will be worth it! I have to give a shout out to Christine, our server - So attentive and friendly! No five star experience is complete without staff that can make you feel relaxed, comfortable, and welcomed. At Azabu you get a super special, high-end experience without any snootiness or snobbishness that could ruin the vibe. Everything about the place is a high-end experience, from the beautiful murals on the walls to the chairs you sit on. The owners of Azabu know how to dot their I’s and cross their T’s!

The food was outstanding. Service was excellent. It was quite loud however. It was hard to hear someone speak across the table. The views were lovely. Gorgeous decorations. Valet service was good as well.

DELICIOUS. Wonderful cocktails, tantalizing appetizers, and each of our 4 entrees were fantastic. Highly recommend the country bread shareable, the crispy fried chicken sandwich, and the butcher cut pork chop. Can't wait to go back - thanks for a delightful dinner!

Above and beyond expectations. Everyone there is extremely friendly and we are not gluten free and everything was amazing.
