Azabu - Sushi restaurant in Whittier - 13119 Philadelphia St, USA

Recently visited for the 1st time and this place was great. Uptown is really starting to have great places to eat. I'm ready to go again. There were four of us, so we ordered about five or six different items, all delicious.

First off this is a fancy decadent sushi restaurant. All food is obviously made fresh. We didn't get much this trip: tuna& California roll, the medley fish tacos, which may be an acquired taste very fresh but bland, the shrimp chunks I did add wasabi & some soy sauce, but I felt needed something more, wish I could some of my salsa on it, lol. The shell was maybe a small flour tortilla? Or maybe a egg roll wrap? Then clasped w/a small seaweed square, Then ordered 2 crab teriyaki rolls which were quite delicious, my drink was a pretty Ricky which was perfect to make you relax, then a small bottle of saki, which hit the spot. Service was good, beautiful art.

Wagyu dumplings were 🔥🔥 as well as the salmon roll and spicy tuna roll. The salmon entree was phenomenal as well. Looking forward to retuning and trying more sushi and wagyu dishes.

The sushi was immaculate! Fresh and flavorful. My favorite was the Smoked Azabu. The A-5 Wagu was on point and the smoke flovor just took it to another level. My husband loved the nigiri sampler. It is definitely a "must try." Our server, John, was the bomb! He was friendly, had great recommendations, and hooked my husband up with this awesome ube desert for his bday! Will definitely be back!

Great vibes in the air at Azabu! This is an absolute gem in the City of Whittier. The decor is trendy yet classy. It's my favorite restaurant. Their menu has a wonderful selection of entrees and appetizers. We usually order some appetizers and share while having a couple of drinks. The staff provides phenomenal service and take pride in it. Their quality of service is in a league of their own. Nothing but fun and positive vibes here. Sashimi lovers! Their sashimi sampler is a little piece of heaven. It is fresh and melts in your mouth. Presentation is more of a work of art. My favorite at Azabu. We also had some edamame. It was delicious and also fresh. I Love their smokey old fashioned. They smoke it for you at your table. The smokiness elevates the drink and complements the other ingredients. It's my favorite drink here. It's a beautiful drink that is good for the sould. *make sure to let your awesome server know you want it smoked* My brother had the house saki. It didn't disappoint. It's smooth and makes you feel warm and fuzzy. Every dish is a beautiful work of art and everything that I have had is delicious. This is the perfect place for happy hour with friends. The decor is a great background for your pics. It's also a perfect place for date night or any other occasion. Check it out for yourself. You won't be sorry. This is a hot spot and reservations arenthe best way to get a seat without a long wait. Although, Azabu is well worth the wait. You will have a wonderful time while enjoying some excellent food and drinks.

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!

Nice spot in Whittier. Great food, good drinks and service was fast. Definitely recommend for a dinner date or special occasion .
