Ázuma Japanese restaurant .The service is as charming as it gets – picture a smiling waiter always ready to top up your rice or soup, making you feel pampered and cared for.Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the grilled fish. It's not just right; it's a symphony of flavors that transport you to Japan with each bite. The authenticity here is unbeatable, making every dish a delightful adventure for your taste buds.But what truly steals the show is the cozy atmosphere that turns every meal into a cherished family moment. This place isn't just about food; it's about creating memories over delicious dishes and heartfelt conversations.In a nutshell, this Japanese restaurant isn't just a dining spot; it's a delicious journey into tradition and hospitality. You'll leave with a full belly, a happy heart, and a craving to come back for more.

Been coming here for years and it the most perfect little place ! U always order the Steak and Sashimi dinner plate with a side crocket! It’s to die for! Forever my favorite place to dine the atmosphere is great not too loud low music playing in the back ground and sitting at the bar is my favorite.

Favorite Japanese restaurant. The beef teriyaki is basically a steak, perfectly seared with a good amount of fat. Tempura was crunchy and massive. The whole combination plate was actually huge. The chicken skewers were also very good.This place is on the pricier end, but the portion sizes and quality make it worth it. I will be coming back.

Glad this place reopened after the fire, waited 2 decades to eat back at this place and did not dissapoint. Had to wait awhile outside since our reservation was a bit messed up but they did their best to sit us when space was available. A bit noisy but expected at a popular restaurant, the food speaks for itself. Had three combo dinners for each of us, the Tempura/sashimi, the Black cod/Sashimi and the Tonkatsu/sashimi and the portions were enough for some to take home. Luckily scored the last two bottles of Orion Beers (iykyk) that made this last meal in Cali one of the best. 5 stars, ill be sure to be back when in the area??Parking: Free parking in back of restaurant

The koroke was hot and very good. There isn't much atmosphere as they try to stuff in as many tables as possible. The waitress looked stressed and tired, she was taking care of all the people in my area and most likely so up front. This was right when they opened. They need to hire more food servers. The food came out on time and hot though the waitress seemed a little snippy, I would probably be too if I had her workload.

"Don't know what you got, until it's gone...". So happy they re-opened 10/4/23. Have been back twice since they re-opened and the food is even better. The prices went up a little bit but it's still worth it and excellent! I regularly order the Beef Teriyaki combo and the black cod. Simply, the best out there, highly Recommended!

The sashimi is very fresh and tasty when dipped in ponzu with green onion. The beef teriyaki is delicious as well, if you're not a fan of teriyaki sauce you can substitute it for ponzu. Portions are very generous, the tempura is light and crispy. I've never been disappointed by any of the dishes I've tried here, overall a solid spot.
