    I had really high expectations for azuki and while it did not disappoint, I wasn’t blown away. The drinks were okay, the quality of the sushi was very good, but overall I think it was pricier than it was worth.

    Honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had in awhile. I had a reservation @8:45 on a Thursday night I was late by 10 minutes but they still at us immediately. The service was outstanding! I haven’t had such great attendance in at a restaurant in a very long time. The server Victoria was supper friendly and helpful in making recommendations and everything we had was SO GOOD!! I go eat sushi quite a bit and this was perfect. The sushi was fresh and the combinations the chefs created were very flavorful. A 10/10 hands down. Thank you🙏🏼🙏🏼

    Enjoyed most of the rolls but the rainbow roll had so much mayo that we couldn’t eat it. Server didn’t ask us how it was, just took it away and we got the check to leave. The “kobe” roll way amazing. We’ll go back for special occasions and get the fancy rolls - I’ll skip the basic ones for the price.

    Their nigiri is not only the best selection but also the best quality in all of San Diego. The ambiance is amazing for a cute date night or place to enjoy great food with great company. The bluefin four ways is a must.
