Well. This place is fun! We had a really good dinner here last night. The ambiance is wonderful. There's a standard hibachi type seating for large groups. There's a dining area for general dining. There's a regular bar type setup, and there is a traditional sushi bar type seating areas. My daughter ordered sushi of various types. All were fresh and delicious. I ordered a stir fry scallop dish. Quite nice. I enjoyed my dish. We had a few drinks at dinner. My daughter really enjoyed her Sake. Service was great. Several people were looking after our table. Without a doubt we will be coming back here. We are from Northern Virginia, and are spoiled with the best Asian cuisines. This restaurant does a great job in our opinion. They offer Japanese, Chinese and Thai dishes. There's something for everyone here.

I've heard nothing but good things from friends that have been to Azuma Sushi. I couldn't wait to check it out myself, as I am a big fan of sushi. I was pleasantly surprised, walking in a few minutes after they opened. Already I could see diners well situated and ordering lunch. The establishment is surprisingly spacious and very clean. The decor is easy on the eyes and quite pleasing. As you enter, there's an expansive bar area and then lots of intimate booth and table seating. I was seated by the window and had ample time to look over the menu. They serve sushi, as well as cooked foods. Also hibachi, so lots to choose from. I had a shrimp tempura roll, spicy salmon roll and a salmon avocado roll. All tasted fresh and was not overly filled with rice. Service was great and the staff was efficient and friendly. I look forward to dining here again, and can't wait to try other menu items!

As I looked for a restaurant selling sushi on a Sunday night between Clifton Park and Saratoga I recalled one that we hadn't been to on Route 9 in Malta. But would they be open? Yes, their website said they were open until 9:30 P.M. That surprised me a little since many restaurants close earlier on Sunday. My next surprise was how many people were present at Azuma when we arrived near 6:30 P.M. They have three teppanyaki cooking tables, a sushi bar with a half dozen or so seats, a regular bar with maybe ten seats, an aquarium surrounded by about a dozen seats, booths and tables for up to four people, and several high tops for parties of two. We were offered a choice of seating at the sushi bar, the regular bar, the aquarium, or a high top. Otherwise, there would be a wait for a regular table or the teppan tables if we were looking for a Hibachi dinner and show. We chose a high top in the bar area where the noise emanating from the hibachi tables was less distracting. Their menu is huge and even includes some Thai dishes. Five of the ten pages are devoted to various sushi rolls, nigiri, and entrées. A separate two page drink menu offers wine, beer, sake, and cocktails. My wife started with a Pomegranate Marini ($13) which she found on the sweet side and concluded she would not likely order it again. I decided to try a beer from Unified Brewing ($6) which is located just down the road from Azuma. The mystery was not knowing what style of beer I would receive since the menu gave no indication. It turned out to be a New England IPA, All the Juicy Things. It was quite good, and I normally don't care for IPA. It was really a difficult decision trying to decide among all the sushi offerings. We settled on starting with bowls of Miso Soup ($2.25), followed by Yellowtail nigiri ($6.50), White Tuna nigiri ($6.50), Red Snapper nigiri ($6), Oshinko Roll ($5.50), Sakura Roll ($16), and Kiss On Fire Roll ($17). Btw, there are two pieces in each serving of nigiri. All the fish was very fresh. The wasabi was especially spicy, and the gari had a good, pickled characteristic. The Oshinko was crunchy and the combination of flavors and textures in both the Sakura roll and Kiss On Fire roll were very pleasing. Service was prompt, friendly, and efficient. We definitely need to return and try more of their unique specialty rolls. My only nitpick would be that they don't make their nigiri with wasabi between the fish and rice ball.

Food here is still great. The place was a ghost town on a Sunday afternoon. The new hibachi chef still needs to work on flipping those knives and spatulas. He kept dropping them on the grill. Everything was cooked to perfection, steak was medium like we asked for. The triple delight had great flavor. My kids loved the lava cake. Gratuity is added to your meal automatically.

Went for the first time with my granddaughter and her boyfriend who love sushi. It's not something I'm crazy about, but it was good. We started with potstickers which were very tasty. We were then served miso soup and a small salad, again good. I decided on a box lunch consisting of General Tso's chicken, white rice, 4 pieces of California rolls and 3 shrimp shumai. All was very good! Our service was excellent, the waitress was very cordial and helpful. The venue was very friendly and clean, nicely decorated.

I called to put the order in and asked if they can put the menu in and the guy told me they're at the front desk when I get there. I'm not picking up the food friend is and they won't grab a menu because they never grab a menu so I was kind of annoyed. I put my order in. General Tso chicken for the friend and I always get a spicy tuna a hand roll with aslice of avocado, sushi eel and Sushi Ikura(salmon roe) . It was heaven. It was also heavenly. The roommate let me have a bite of the General Tso chicken it looked and tasted so juicy and fresh and it was white meat. I normally like dark meat. It was coated well it had a lovely sweet flavor but not too sweet. My spicy spicy tuna hand roll it was flavored so perfectly not too spicy with the right crunch and the perfect flavor of tuna and avocado and it was just stuffed perfectly in very generously. I've been feeling dissatisfied from some of the places I've been ordering my eel and ikura from but these were heavenly everything tasted perfect. Everything tasted great with just the right sauces and just the right flavors and large pieces of eel and can generous with the the ikura. My friend reminded me we had to order there a long time ago but my memory is bad all I know is I'm remembering to order from there again. I didn't go inside so I do not know what it looks like but no one's had any complaints. I forgot we ordered crab rangoons. I don't like the skin that everybody's using in crab rangoons it feels like wonton skin or egg roll skin. It is tough not delicate. Even my friend who ordered the crab rangoon said this is very crabby. And it was very crabby in a good way. They also shape them differently instead of folding them over they made a flower shape. Wasn't fond of it. But again the filling was awesome. I forgot to take a picture of the eel and ikura. I took a picture of my spicy salmon tuna roll at intervals after biting it just to show how full of yumminess it was. It was substantial. They're not great pictures I drop my phone a lot. Not flies I forgot something else my roommate felt there wasn't enough rice. He was in a little small round container like when you go to a deli. That being said all the containers were well made and sturdy. That is very important because if the containers are not well made sauces leak and things can spill. None of that happened because the containers were well made. I could have sworn I took a picture of like everything all together but my phone hates me.
