this place is a hidden gem. The food is amazing and the drinks are not far behind. The hostess was friendly and knew what to recommend. This is a great place to go out on date night or go out with your friends. The sashimi and sushi rolls are an excuse to go again.

Hidden gems is an understatement! Azabu did an amazing job with the menu and cocktails, especially the vegan options, they are well executed and presented beautifully. I love the vibes here, ambiance is hip and trendy, perfect spot for a date night, happy hours, or late night grubs. The sushi is immaculate, good quality ingredients, fresh and simply delicious. The drinks are neat, definitely Instagram-worthy for younger crowds. Shoutout to Chef Chalo Martinez for personally coming out to serve us, his wonderful hospitality goes above and beyond. Not to mention the level of creativity that goes into the vegan platter (VIP Nigiri samplers) is incredible. Me & my friends absolutely loved it. Job well-done! And shoutout to our server Lauren for being an efficient member, while accommodating our big party. It was a lovely evening, highly recommended – totally worth checking out!

Good food, atmosphere. Service is OK. Too many employees for too little attention. It seems to me that they assign tables to one person, and you become invisible to the others. But the server was good when rarely she came by.

The food and drinks were good. Beautiful restaurant. But beware of getting large party service charge of 20%. This happened to me and we only had 2 ppl in our party. When the menu clearly specifies 6 or more for large party service charge. Very unethical.

I’ve been here a few times and the flavors created by the wise chef are pure deliciousness. The cocktails are just as great. Great vive, great food and drinks. Best sushi and Sashimi in Whittier in my opinion

I loved this place, the sushi was so good. I didn’t like the ceviche, there was hardly any seafood in it , mostly onion and cucumber. Their wagyu roll was really good. They give fresh wasabi with the sashimi which was cool. It’s a very nice looking restaurant too, but unfortunately the surrounding area isn’t that nice. I would definitely come back here for the food though and all the servers were excellent.

I’ve had a lot of sushi in my life and this was top tier fish with amazing recipes/flavors! Our server Mia was super attentive and sweet. Chef Chalo was humble and sweet. Thank you for the great experience Azabu p.s. I’m not typically a dessert person but the dessert sushi, which I was told is new to the menu, was outstanding!

Food is delicious, service is great. A few items on the menu were sold out, our choices were limited. We had a reservation and still waited about 20 min to be seated. Parking was $10, if you look around you will find parking.

Really nice ambience and friendly welcome. The host opened the door for us and sat us at a nice table and then our waitress gave us a nice but lengthy introduction since it was our first time. We were here for happy hour and the drinks were great. The crunchy roll was good and fried rice was awesome but we had to try their specialty rolls (not on happy hour). I forgot the name of the roll but it just tasted like avocado and rice. It had yellowtail and not forgot what else but it was all bland. Got another cocktail which was great again but wanted to try some nigiri (bluefin tuna and rice) to give them one last shot. And it was grocery store quality. Still had fishy after taste in my mouth after I left too. The presentations were nice and I think we will come back for drinks and some other appetizers but not for sushi. You can get better sushi for half the price at other local spots.
