"Azumi is an Japanese fusion restaurant with a nice view of the water. Some issues started during ordering. Initially they weren’t able to accommodate a pescatarian for the omakase option. They were able to make adjustments on the fly, but at this price point (comparable to Michelin star restaurants) in a sushi restaurant the initial lack of variability seems a bit silly. The omakase was generally good, but had a few misses. At this price point that’s pretty rough. Dishes were also rarely explained, which would have been a good touch. As far as dishes go: Yellowtail jalapeno was oversauced. Crispy rice tuna was great in texture and taste. Tempura crab was also excellent. Wagyu gyoza was good too. The california roll was good (and uses real crab, to be clear). Sashimi and nigiri were good but not particularly standout. Wagyu beef was fantastic. The pescatarian received miso black cod, which was also delicious and perfectly cooked. The Spicy lobster miso soup was unfortunately too salty for most of the table’s taste. Dessert was a great way to end the meal though. The coconut almond chocolate bar and strawberry tofu cheesecake were all incredible. Service was generally good, with regular checkins and water always being topped off. Overall, a good experience, but probably just go for the fried appetizers, the wagyu, and the desserts. The tasting menu didn’t quite feel worth it, and the sushi didn’t stand out for the price."

"I came on a friday night, and I was actually super excited to come here. only because, I’ve passed it multiple times due to it being conveniently located near the metro. also because the entrance is super intriguing making you feel like you’re in japan (iykyk). but they fell short on their lack on communication and customer service. the hostess was quick to immediately tell us, we can’t accommodate you inside because we have reservations. never did she once, try or offer any options to satisfy us. to me, it’s about trying and doing your best. she didn’t even try and shut me down with a no and to go to the bar. until another lady accommodated us politely. I didn’t really enjoy how you have to close your tab at the bar in order to be seated. crazy how we live in 2024 and you can’t transfer checks lmao. the server was alright. I guess going to a mid-class sushi restaurant gives you inadequate service. genuinely, it makes me feel like I have to spend top quality money (like novikov, zuma, and etc) to get amazing service. I may not be a server, but the lady kept pouring water in front of me. blocking me with her hand in order to fill our waters. number one rule as a server, never block the guests view with your arms. so for the service I received was poor. leading to a no tip and no empathy for receiving a no tip. try harder to actually satisfy your guests. thank you."

"This place used to be one of my go to sushi places in the area. However their service and food have gone downhill real fast. We were only ones eating in the restaurant yesterday and despite this, all the staff were standing around chatting about nothing in particular. One waiter and about 3 other people including the food prep guy are doing nothing but chatting. We had to flag down our waiter multiple times for basic requests, i.e. ready to order, more wasabi, and most importantly our hot sake tasted horrible with a bitter weird funky taste. We told our waiter about it who apologized and disappeared for another 10 15 mins. He finally came to take our order (still hasn 't brought us a new sake back). Another 5 10 mins he comes over and brings us a new sake and actually tells us, sorry about the sake, it was a bottle that was almost empty and had sediment that had built up at bottom of bottle. He didn 't seem to show that he cared that they had just given us this; you don 't serve that to customers. He brings the new sake (still didn 't taste very good) and brings our meals. The meals chicken teriyaki, and sashimi with tempura tasted bland and the sashimi pieces were cut sloppily and looked too big. With all of this we still had to flag down our waiter again (they are all so busy chatting) just to pay the bill. Expecting some form of reconciliation for all this, I get the bill and see everything has been charged even the sake despite him admitting giving us bad stuff (that would have likely made us sick if we drank it). I rarely write reviews and really it has to be significant for me to leave a bad review....but people should know this. Very overpriced restaurant for bland average food. Won 't ever be back here to eat. Go to Sushi House on San Mateo Ave in San Bruno for a far better experience and good quality food (and sake)."
