   The food and service was excellent. The sushi nigiri, rolls and sashimi were nicely prepared and well sized! Wide variety of Japanese whiskeys and mixed drinks. Love the energy of this place, inside and out!

   Very busy on a Saturday night at 6 PM. We ordered the tempura for an appetizer, then we later ordered some sushi- the sushi came out long before the tempura. The Japanese cocktail was very different and probably not a repeat.

   The server was outstanding but the kitchen staff, not so much, appetizers were ordered and roughly 15 minutes later our main dish was ordered. Our main dishes came out before the apps and unfortunately, the food services presented my salad with a large extremely brown, and rooted lettuce heart right on top. Some of our orders never even made it to the table. As for the food, besides the Madori Salad, everything else was very good.

   Delicious spicy edamame. The mixed tempura was light and tasty. The accompanying sauce was a bit bland, but we augmented it with some wasabi and it was quite good. We shared a Caterpillar Roll and a Rainbow Roll, and both were great. Friday night noise level inside was quite high so we were offered an outside table, which was nice but a bit chilly, and of course lacked the ambience of the interior decor. The cheesecake for dessert was tasty, but a bit pricey for the portion size. The service was friendly and attentive. All in all a pleasant dining experience. We'll go back.

   This is our nth time going to Aozora! We love the food and the place, but yesterday, four of eight things we ordered the person attending our table got wrong! She profusely apologised for the error and repeated the same mistake again! Got wrong drinks, served the wring order of foods and worst yet, charged us for all of her errors!

   We will definitely come back as the sushi was A+. Our server took care of this but our salad was made with lettuce where every piece had brown spots. It should have been thrown away and NEVER served. Someone in the kitchen should have caught this. The replacement salad was delicious but it's always awkward to send something back. Our food arrived before our drinks. We had to ask twice about our drinks. No hot sake but the unfiltered cold one was delicious. Great ambiance.

    Need to fix the acoustics. Can’t hear a thing at the table.
