Reviews for Azuki Sushi Lounge in San Diego, CA
After hearing good reviews from friends and seeing the mass amounts of reviews on Yelp, I finally had a chance to try out Azuki... Sushi for myself. We booked a reservation on Yelp just a few days out, which was surprising that it wasn't filled up already.However, the rest of the times were gone by day of. Would highly recommend making a reservation and not take any chances! -PARKING - Street parking only, although there are several adjacent streets that are walking distance from the restaurant. -SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - There was tons of traffic so I called ahead to make sure it would be ok if we were a few minutes late, andthey let us know there's a 15 minute leeway time. We got there 5 minutes before the cut off and were seated in the upstairsarea. Once we sat down, I saw there was a bug in my water cup which definitely wasn't the best impression to start off on. Wegot our orders in and food came fairly quick, although some appetizers were oddly spaced out. The rest of the meal went well,and service was attentive. My friend did notice one of the employees scaling down the stairs without any care and almost hit herin the face while he was swinging down the handrails... not sure if work is the best place for that type of behavior? -FOOD/DRINK - Tranquili-Tea ($14.00): Such beautiful presentation!!! I was in love with the drink right when it came to the tablewith the gorgeous flower in a elegant cup. The drink wasn't too strong taste-wise which is honestly perfect for me! Loved themix of flavors, was super easy to drink and enjoy. Miso Glazed Eggplant ($12.00): 3 halves of Eggplant, all fairly small inrespect to normal sized Eggplants. I do think the flavor was very tasty, but the portion size left me wanting more. Worth a trythough! Hamachi Kama ($18.00): This has got to be the biggest Kama I've ever gotten! Was honestly shocked at how big the pieceof Kama was, but I did not complain. The meat itself was very juicy, and easy to pick off pieces. Miso B Read more
One of my new faves in Bankers Hill! The food is fresh-tasting and delicious with a great ambiance to boot. Not only is the... sushi good, but the shared plates are also very yummy. We tried the miso eggplant, the dumplings, karage, and the fried rice.Specially rolls are pretty creative flavor wise! There’s also a variety of well crafted cocktails and highballs. On top of allthat the service was really warm and attentive. Must try! Read more
Amazing sushi restaurant in downtown San Diego! I went here to celebrate my best friends birthday and we just happened to find... it near our Airbnb, get a parking spot close by, and be seated within 30 minutes! We sat upstairs and it was quite noisy, so Iasked our waiter if we can be moved to a different spot and he accommodated us! Excellent food and service. Everyone knew themenu very well and were very knowledgeable on sushi. I have some shellfish allergies and I was guided on what to order toaccommodate. Great experience! Read more
I one hundred percent love this place! We came here for a Saturday dinner and of course it’s better to make a reservation... beforehand. The foods here are amazing, we ordered a bunch of different things. My favorites are Uni Nigiri, sardine nigiri,lobster rolls, pon hama, and crispy rice & spicy tuna. All the fishes are beautifully cut and super fresh. The sushi roll flavoris very well balanced with a unique taste. Here’s service is nice too. I highly recommend you come here to check out if youlove Japanese food. Read more
I would rate this restaurant as 5+ star. Normally, if the food is tasty and the service is good, I’ll rate 5 star. However,... this place has another amazing thing: the gods serving speed is super fast! Normally for sushi place, especially for expensiveone, the serving speed would be slow. But this restaurant successfully delivered an impossible triangle: great taste, greatservice, great speed! Read more
One of the higher rated sushi spots in San Diego. Service was great and so was the quality. Kind of on the pricey side, and I... wasn't in love with the specialty rolls that I ordered. They had a lot going on with them. Wish I would have stuck with acouple of the classic hand rolls to offset the elaborate specialty rolls. I'd go back to give it another try. Read more
One of the best fresh delicious tasting sushi I have ever had. Will come back again. Absolutely amazing. Prices were... reasonable for the quality. I have been to many omakase restaurants that were high caliber and I’d say this one ranks prettyhigh up there for me. Dessert was amazing too! Read more
Food was amazing. The Kobe roll was on point! If we had time on our way out of town, we were going to order another one for the... road! Staff was fantastic. Would highly recommend. Read more
