Great Food, Poor Solo Service
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The atmosphere was great, and the food was fresh and of high quality. However, the service was poor, especially for someone dining alone. I experienced a significant wait to have my order taken, even after observing that parties near me were attended to multiple times before I was spoken to. While my miso soup arrived quickly, my waitress rushed off and I never received a spoon. I also never got a refill on my water. The food itself was lovely, but it's frustrating when dining alone means getting ignored.

Best Sushi Ever!
As sushi is my favorite food, I can confidently say this place serves the best sushi I have ever had in my entire life. I highly recommend the spicy crunchy California roll and the bagel roll. If you like cream cheese, you'll love it, and even if you don't, it's worth trying as it might change your mind! The tempura roll is also tasty, and the tempura veggies are a consistent favorite. I've been coming here for 20 years and will always return!

Exceptional Service for Sensitivities!
My experience at this restaurant was excellent, especially considering my dietary sensitivities. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my visit was both safe and enjoyable. The vegetarian offerings were a large selection, and the service was rated a perfect 5. The food also received a 5-star rating, and the atmosphere was rated 5 as well. I highly recommend this place for vegetarians.

Azuma Doesn't Meet Seattle's Sushi Standards
My experience at Azuma in Seattle was disappointing, especially considering the price. While the atmosphere was rated a 5 and the service was also a 5, the food quality didn't live up to the high bar set by other sushi restaurants in the city. The price per person of $20–30 felt steep for the food quality received. Parking was somewhat difficult to find, though free street parking was available. The noise level was very quiet.

Fantastic Japanese Cuisine at Azuma
My experience at Azuma was fantastic. From their flavorful miso soup to the Japanese Curry, and of course sushi, every item was not only delicious but also visually appealing. I particularly loved the bagel roll and their bento box meals. The atmosphere and service were both rated a perfect 5, and the food also received a 5-star rating. The wait time was non-existent, and there was plenty of parking available. The noise level was quiet, making it easy to converse.

Delicious Veggie Roll, Wonderful Staff!
My experience at the restaurant was perfect for a solo dinner. I enjoyed a delicious veggie roll, which had a perfect balance of avocado, radish, and cucumber. The staff was wonderful, and the food was great!

Great Takeout Sushi Rolls
On my second visit, I opted for takeout sushi rolls and found them to be super good and reasonably priced. It's convenient that it's close to my house for those last-minute sushi cravings!

Good Sushi, But Not Seattle-Level
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The sushi was good, but I felt that for Seattle, the bar is set higher. In a different city like Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, this would easily be a 4-star experience, but in Seattle, it falls short. The prices were good, and the staff were great, however, the food itself was sub-par.

Long Wait, Disappointing Food
My experience at this restaurant was a significant disappointment. I wasted my money due to an excessive 1-hour wait for a to-go order that was initially estimated to take only 20 minutes. Furthermore, the food quality was subpar; I found something sweet, orange, and chunky in what was supposed to be ikura, which was not ikura. The appetizers were also measly in portion size.
