   If I could give it zero stars I would. Made a reservation for 7:30 on Valentine's Day, got sat at 8:10pm. It took them over 3.5 hours to serve us with over an hour gap between courses, with the waiter just periodically walking by and pointing at our tables as he walked by! Last time we will come to this place and will not recommend it to anyone! Service and food needs a lot of improvement for what they are charging!

   Food was decent. It was more about posting a pretty pic for social media than actual good food. No complaints about service and my drink “old fashioned” was delicious.

   The experience was amazing. The staff goes above and beyond. Joshua and Rashad were very helpful. I highly recommend this place. Hospitality and food service is on point. I will be back again. Thank you to the team for the first time impressions

   We had an overall good experience, I think next time I would like to not sit on the side with the bar. Everything was good with our seating but I think our customer energy is not at the bar side level

   El mesero muy amable pero el dueño muy patético, la comida es rica pero nos dejaron esperando sin preguntarnos, no sabían quién era nuestro mesero.

   Food is delicious but it’s very very loud and they will not turn the music down if you ask.

   I’m a guy who doesn’t usually write reviews. Good food and service are expected when I go for a night out. But, Azabu is a place where simply goes above and beyond expectation to give you a high-end, premium experience. It is so awesome to them in Whittier! Definitely a place to go when you want to impress a date or you have a special occasion to celebrate! Every time I come, I keep ordering different things on the menu, and I am never disappointed! The sushi is always high-end. This time I ordered the Charred octopus as an appetizer - I mean, it was SO GOOD! I’ll be ordering this again and again! Also had their delicious signature sushi roll with wagyu beef slices. It comes out with an incredible presentation, unveiled with mysterious smoke swirling around it. The wagyu is melt in your mouth, and I absolutely LOVE the subtle tinge of smokiness that is imparted to the flavors. On past visits, I have ordered Japanese beers and sake. They have some delicious high end options that you don’t get at other sushi restaurants (even really good ones). On this visit we explored several different cocktails. Every single one was smooth and well balanced. We were celebrating, right, so I was delighted to try their top level old fashioned., and yes it is actually worth the price tag! When you come here, this is not a place to skimp, it’s a place to celebrate and treat yourself to a premium experience. Don’t be afraid to try the high end items, I promise you, they will be worth it! I have to give a shout out to Christine, our server - So attentive and friendly! No five star experience is complete without staff that can make you feel relaxed, comfortable, and welcomed. At Azabu you get a super special, high-end experience without any snootiness or snobbishness that could ruin the vibe. Everything about the place is a high-end experience, from the beautiful murals on the walls to the chairs you sit on. The owners of Azabu know how to dot their I’s and cross their T’s!
