User Reviews of Azuma Downtown

Better Sushi elsewhere

It's nice having a sushi restaurant downtown, but it's not very impressive. The decor is wonderful and the service is nice, but the two times I have eaten here I wasn't impressed. I've had fresher fish at...

Yelp.com Review - by Douglas P.

4.0 of 5 stars. The food tastes extremely fresh, the portions are perfect for dinner, the service is incredible (from the hosts to the servers), and the atmosphere is calm yet fun.

Yelp.com Review - by Helen C.

3.0 of 5 stars. I have friends that live and die by Azuma's, but I'd say it's a pretty average, middle of the road kind of restaurant. Like almost every other sushi place in Houston (or really, in the world), the…

2.0 of 5 stars. Generic, trendy, overpriced, downtown Japanese. While nothing was particularly terrible the two times I have been, nothing was really ever good. I would give 3 stars if they didn't try so hard to be…

Yelp.com Review - by Anthony B.

4.0 of 5 stars. I'm not a giant fan of sushi *gasp* but Azuma moderated that dislike. I went with several friends who are more sushisavvy (did I just make up a cool word?) and so there ended up with an assortment of…

5.0 of 5 stars. Azuma is one of my favorite sushi restaurants. My coworkers and I eat there as often as we can, and it's always delicious. It's too bad they no longer make my favorite roll, the western peppercorn…

4.0 of 5 stars. I can't believe I just gave Azuma 4 stars. I have to justify myself - a year ago Azuma was a 1 star. I remember on 3 different occasions having to go back to the kitchen after 30 min to find…

Had a great night. Food was good (had tastier tuna elsewhere), service excellent (we were drunk and a bit outrageous, yet our server remained polite and courteous and agreed to our every request). Nice decor,...

Customer service and the Kitchen's attention to detail have slipped cconsiderably in the past three weeks

Normally, I take people to Azuma's because of its great service and it is one of the more entertaining eating experiences in Houston. Food is good, but not 5 star. Service is generally 5 star. However, the...

good sushi, service is lacking

Well, the sushi here is pretty tasty. The spicy tuna indeed has a spicy kick. However, to bring out food for 2 out of 6 people and leave the rest of us waiting for our meals for 10 minutes is not only terrible...

Good Choice for Sushi Fix

Azuma's is a great choice for fresh sushi, drinks, crowd watching, and Japanese Udon noodles (which i love.) There's no hibachi tableside cooking here, but if you're a sushi fan, you will not be disappointed....

This is the best place to bring your "virgin" sushi eaters!!! All the specialty rolls are good; especially the Crazy Irishman, Patriot and Sumo Roll. And if you feel like getting a little tipsy, go for the Hot...

Awesome Sushi Restaurant

I haven't had sushi for 2 years and this was the best sushi I have ever had. The cost wasn't that bad either considering the fact that we ate so much. But anyway I recommend this restaurant to any sushi lover.

Great Sushi

Best I had in Houston. Patriot and Crazy Irishman are a must. Sushi is very fresh. Great environment. Price is a little steep, but then again I only splurge once in a while.

Service is CONSTANTLY TERRIBLE!!!

There's always something missing in the to-go orders, and they wouldn't even deliver after messing it up, even within a BLOCK!
