Aozora - Japanese restaurant in Montclair - 407 Bloomfield Ave, USA

We are vegan. It is difficult to find really, really good vegetable sushi. Aozora takes so much care with theirs. I have had the avocado sushi roll twice now. It is perfection. I still can't figure out how they can get such perfect avocado every time. No hint of brown, perfect ripeness, beautiful and creamy. The sweet potato sushi is the best I have ever had. The tempura on the sweet potato is perfectly crispy and holds up in the sushi roll. We also ordered the pumpkin soup, and they were able to omit the shrimp and keep it vegan for us. So good and different from other pumpkin soups I've had. The chives were a great addition. We shared the tofu terriyaki, which was not only beautiful, but delicious. Tender, delicate triangles of silken tofu with a perfectly light and crispy tempura with a hint if salt. The terriyaki sauce was subtle and delicious. I was so excited to eat, i forgot to take photos first. Was so pretty when it arrived. Also, staff was very helpful, friendly, and very attentive. They were able to answer my concerns about food allergies and ingredients.

Aozora is one of those places that you'll walk pass and miss a fortune. The food here is phenomenal. Atmosphere and ambience are fantastic. Great place for any type of celebratory lunch or dinner. Staff is very attentive and service is great. We enjoyed the miso soup, followed by Vegetable Fried Rice - Philadelphia rolls, Fire Dragon, Red Spider, Salmon Lover and Omakase Sushi & Sashimi Combo's. To satisfy your sweet tooth after the all that soy sauce, try the Mango Mousse Cake and Cheese Cake. Finished it off with cappuccino's and an expresso. I highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed.

Very nice & clean atmosphere. Love the wall with ornaments all over. 10/10 on all sushi. Will be back!!

The sushi is fresh and delicious! Try the Sexy Roll, you won't be disappointed; the atmosphere is calm and serene.

I like the place, wasn't that crazy about the dumplings ( if I was you, skiped) but the rest of the dinner was pretty good. I got vegetables and shrimp tempura, nice portion, well fried, also a udon chicken soup, and some sweet potato tempura sushi roll. Overall is good price relation with quality. Nice ambiance, look nice for a date.

Fantastic sushi rolls! Some of the tastiest special rolls we've had👌🏻 The atmosphere of this restaurant is kind of fancy but the prices weren't terrible. The staff was very friendly and attentive. In the picture, right to left: Galaxy roll, fire dragon, Montclair, Aozora. Definitely recommend.

2 of their dishes are in my top 5 favorite dishes of all time. The duck and Chilean sea bass are out of this world. Everything else is fantastic as well. The sushi is fresh and well-crafted and even the fried rice is great. Every dish is executed perfectly. Don’t sleep on this place.

Cute place! My table and I shared a couple rolls like California, tuna and a sexy roll. It’s byob
