Azabu

A Must-Visit Sushi Spot! I recently revisited one of my favorite sushi places from when I was younger, and I was thrilled to see it had undergone a complete remodel. I’ll admit, I was a little skeptical at first—could it still capture the magic I remembered? But once I sat down and took my first bite, all doubts melted away. The sushi here is absolutely amazing! Every piece is fresh, authentic, and bursting with flavor. The attention to detail in each roll and the variety offered truly stand out. On top of that, the staff is incredible—friendly, attentive, and so knowledgeable about the menu. They helped make the experience even better by recommending dishes and sharing insights about the flavors and preparation. The updated atmosphere complements the incredible food, creating a dining experience that feels both modern and welcoming. I highly recommend giving this place a try. If you’re a sushi lover, you won’t be disappointed. Next time I visit, I’m definitely ordering their impressive sushi boat—it looks like a feast worth every bite!

We just happened to stumble into Azabu while looking for a sushi dinner spot. The restaurant is very nice and modern. The waitstaff was attentive, professional and knew the menu well. We started with the black crispy rice which was delicious. Next we had the Geisha roll (it’s a roll with spicy tuna, shrimp tempura and topped with albacore) yum! We had the seafood ceviche after and finished off with the tuna tataki (not pictured). All of our food was exceptional and presented very well.

This sushi restaurant exceeded my expectations. The decor is so cute and romantic. They have beautiful painted murels with so much detail. The sushi rolls are amazing, but the chocolate cake is fire. The staff is friendly and absolutely accommodating. The decor, food, presentation, and attention to detail is far beyond words. My new favorite Sushi spot

This was our first time here at Azabu in Whittier. Let me say, what a romantic atmosphere. Azabu had such a luxurious vibe. A welcoming smile greets you at the entrance and from there on out everyone was extremely accommodating. Our first experience here was perfect. Our waiter was busy with another customer, but he took the time to tell us welcome and he'll be right with us, and 3 min later he was taking our drink order. So professional... The atmosphere was elegant and fun. We sat at the sushi bar and we were made to feel extremely important. Everyone was accommodating and the food was DELICIOUS .. Presentation was perfect and I was blown away by the taste. We also tried the scallop shots.... DELICIOUS!!! Those became a repeat order . We had a wonderful evening. We will definitely be back again... Absolutely!!!!

The food was incredible. Yes, it's pricey, but this place actually delivers. The flavor isn't just on the walls, each dish is carefully thought through and executed. And then there's the drinks... Not just presentable, but wonderfully balanced. If that wasn't enough, the waitress took an interest in our flavor preferences and made conscientious recommendations, even some substitutions. We had an amazing time and have vowed to return as soon as possible.
