Reviews for Azyun Restaurant in Markham, ON
I wanted to treat my friends to a unique dinner as a gift, and enlisted the help of Azyun to create a custom iron chef menu for... us. My friend wanted uni as the main ingredient and Azyun thoughtfully came up with a six course menu. Would highly recommend ifyou’re looking for something out of the box and more personal than your usual fine dining, as a custom iron chef menuexperience is not available anywhere else as far as I’m aware of. Prices are reasonable, depending on your ingredient. Read more
We came here for dinner and had the set menu for 2. The edamame spring rolls, chilled noodle salad, spicy cabbage and cherry... belly rice were our favorites. I also had a drink that they were testing out which was a spin on lemon meringue pie which wasdelicious! The staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable. I would recommend making reservations as inside seating islimited. We will definitely be back again! Read more
Very tasty. Overall small/cozy environment. Ordered set menu for 2 and really enjoyed the cherry pork belly rice and beef... tartare. Mango delight drink was surprisingly frothy and creamy. There's also a VIP promo on Facebook/Messenger (as of August2022) for deals Read more
I think people that haven’t tried Azyun before doesn’t realize that 1) they serve some dishes in slightly smaller portions... 2) it’s best you go with a group of people to really enjoy the variety of the food on the menu eg: 6 people 3) yes, it costs abit but it’s well thought out fusion food 4) so be prepared for the fabulous umami from the food. Also wanted to note, Ourserver was very accommodating and was right on with suggesting the food we ordered would be enough. Have we ordered that extradish, it would’ve been in a take out box. We’ve tried Azyun in the first year they opened for business and I can tellthey’ve really enhanced their menu. My whole family was super impressed with the food and everyone went home with a very fullbelly. Keep up the amazing work! PS: my favourite was the truffle rice and the crunchy ramen. Read more
We REALLY liked the appetizers like chilled noodle and eggplants hands down. So damn good. I can have these every day. Paella... had such a strong conch flavour overpowering everything which I thought could've easily been swapped by shrimp? I'm justassuming they were testing out more innovative combos but really didn't work for me. Fried chicken tasted great but I think itwas a wrong call by me, assuming their other dishes might have been more innovative and has flavour combinations that I've nevertasted. The homemade kimchi was a nice touch and tasted great but I think I still prefer pairing fried chicken with sour andcrispy veggies(pickled radish, coleslaw etc) to balance out the heaviness. Mackerel was thoroughly de-boned which I know takeswork, and the sauce was nice too but mackerel is mackerel. Its own flavour is always so strong and you can't really experiencesomething new because of that. So if you love mackerel no matter what, it's definitely for you. My friend recommended thetruffle fried rice and yeah, this hits a good spot. I definitely enjoyed this one the most in the mains. Drinks were alright. Ihonestly don't remember much about them, didn't leave strong impressions but they were not bad either. Read more
Got the dinner for two. Dishes were really good but I would say it was slightly better prior to covid days. Fried chicken had an... amazing crisp to it and truffle fried rice had the wok flavours. The eggplant was a tad too salty. Lighter seasoning overallon all the dishes would be perfect. Great, cozy atmosphere for anyone who wants to come by and have a nice, quiet meal and goodconvos.

I visited here thanks to my friend. It's one of the best dinner nights I had in like years. Their foods were all very different... in a exceptionally good way. We ordered from cheesy spring rolls to the best pallea I ever had in my life. It was full of Uni ifyou know what I mean. This is somewhere I would bring my family when they come visit me in Canada. Ask Ricky if you need asuggestion on any drinks or even foods. He'll help you out :) Read more
Unique and interesting food in a vibrant downtown ambience. The pork belly here is very special. Super tender and delicious. The... crab chawanmushi was a bit too different and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone unfamiliar with the dish. Read more
