Very generous cuts of fish on their sushi rolls! Great value for the quality. I recommend the Under The Sea roll - this was my favorite and had a good blend of flavors. A hefty roll! The Double Roll is also a great option for those who enjoy simplicity and one kind of fish in particular. The table shared the Beef Sukiyaki, which is on the sweet side. Very flavorful and packed with umami! I enjoyed this a lot. A good contrast from the sushi we ordered. I also tried the Escolar Nigiri, which was a thin cut. The quality was decent and the fish was fresh.

Azuma has been open for several years and is one of my favorite Japanese restaurants around Cupertino! Over the years it's definetly gotten more pricey. There is a large variety of food you can order from sushi, bentos, stews, donburis, and more. Some of my favorites to order are the spicy tuna roll, unagi cucumber roll, agedashi tofu, and chicken karage. The service has always been super fast and the food is delicious and perfect to share and eat family style!

Very busy on a Friday night. The website doesn't allow for reservations but when we got there the hostess asked if we had a made a reservation by phone. We had a table of 6. The donburi/hotpot/combo menu is extensive. They only had 1 sushi menu that we all had to share. The Big Smile Roll was my favorite. The tuna was delicious and I loved the crunch on top. The 49er roll with jalapeno was super spicy and good. Service is very slow, plan for a long dinner. It was loud with families.

My mom, a mom's friend, and I all came to Azuma around 20 minutes before closing for lunch (1:40 when it closed at 2:00). We did feel rather rushed to order, but it is understandable since the kitchen would close and they would have to clean up and prepare for dinner time. Despite us ordering within 2 minutes of arrival, it did take some more time for us to actually receive the food and eat it so we left around 2:30. Allocate for an hour, there were a lot of people inside for a Thursday lunch actually! The ambiance and interior is beautifully decorated. It almost transports you to Japan itself, the sit down is worth it. We ordered the chirashi bowl, a 12 piece sashimi platter, nabeyaki udon, and sukiyaki combo with beef sukiyaki and tuna roll. It was a LOT of food for three people, so we finished the raw fish dishes first and took the rest to go. The nabeyaki udon and sukiyaki combo both came with miso soup that had an amazing broth, seriously the best miso that I have ever had. It also came with a side of salad! Chirashi bowl and sashimi platter was very delicious and fresh, the sushi rice from the chirashi bowl was delicious. I love salmon, the tuna texture was a bit older from this and the tuna roll in my mom and my mom's friend's opinion. Might have been a one off thing, though. The nabeyaki udon broth isn't salty at all, I practically inhaled all of it. The vegetables and chicken are very delicious and taste very unprocessed/have little additives in the way of admiring the quality of the ingredients used here. Beef sukiyaki was definitely the least favorite dish of the table, it was too sweet. We packed it to go and added some more of our own noodles and vegetables at home to dilute the strength of the flavor within it. We didn't want to add too much salt since sukiyaki is soy sauce based, anyway. Overall, it was a pretty solid meal in the Cupertino area. It's in a plaza that's easy to ignore, but there's plenty of parking and it was an enjoyable experience.

Happy Lunar New Year! To celebrate after cooking a Chinese/Vietnamese feast for our family the night before, my hubby and I treated ourselves to some delightful sushi rolls from Azuma on Lunar New Years Day! I preordered our sushi rolls on Uber Eats and picked it up 20 minutes later - so fast and satisfying! Azuma has become our favorite sushi restaurant for the days when we have a craving for sushi and want something fresh, unique, and delicious, but don't want to wait a long time. We love trying the different inventive sushi rolls. This time, we chose the Alaskan Mango Roll, White Tuna Tataki Roll, Jungle Roll, and Crazy Crab Roll which were all perfectly presented in to-go containers. Once we got home, I like to transfer the rolls onto dinner plates so it feels fancy and worthy of a social occasion. I don't have a favorite one because they are each special in their own way. Alaskan Mango Roll has a creamy, smooth mango purée that scrumptiously melds with the mango and salmon topping. White Tuna Tataki Roll's mix of garlic ponzu glazed and slightly seared white tuna over spicy tuna inside is a subtle umami bomb. Jungle Roll may seem basic but the explosion of seaweed salad is anything but. Crazy Crab Roll, I admit, may actually be my favorite of all. The meaty soft shell crab tempura fried tops spicy tuna, cucumber, and avocado and drizzled with a sweet and tangy mystery yummy sauce. It's a chef kiss sushi roll for sure! Definitely hits the spot every time!
