Azuma Sushi & Robata Bar-Rice Village

I heard so many great things about azuma that i had to come and see it for myself. As i walked into azuma, I was greeted with a chirpy petite hostess with a huge smile on her face. she happily ( I mean very happy) sat us at a table. My server was exceptional! I explained to her that this was my very first time dining at azuma and that i needed some help. She explained to us that the red devil man roll and the crazy irishman are amongst the most popular rolls there. i went ahead and took her suggestion and boy it was amazing! I definitely will be coming back and try some other things out.

I am not sure why anyone goes there, particularly when there are so many excellent Japanese restaurants with better service and more reasonable prices. The sushi was not fresh. It is also strange that they have robata bar in their name, but everything we ordered from the robata grill was either fried or pan seared. All this with an outrageous tab.

I recently visited Azuma for the first time ever with two friends for lunch. We were looking for good sushi at a reasonable price. We left paying $74.58 and $15.00 (20%) tip = $89.58 total. The food was average in comparison to other sushi restaurants in Houston. I cant say the price is justifiable for the food quality. Lunch is lunch, and you can get better and cheaper sushi elsewhere. So well never be back. My friends also stated that in the future I can never pick the restaurant for our lunch outings. Thanks Azuma

We ventured out to try a new sushi place this past week. We were pleasantly surprised at the good sushi (some pretty nice rolls) and they make good cocktails. The waitress that served us, both times we went, she is excellent. I would recommend this place to anyone. If you can't eat raw fish, don't... they have other nice items on the menu to try.

I have read other reviews of this restaurant . I am real sorry others have not had the great experience we had. First of all the restaurant is beautiful with lots of wood. It is a very nice restaurant to take a date. They play upbeat music at just the right volume to make conversation easy. They have a very large choice of non sushi asian fusian dishes. We had 2 sushi rolls, miso soup, hot tea and rice. ( I had traveled all day and needed lite comfort food.) The fish used was fresh and the actual presentation was very elegant.
The restaurant was very crowded between 9:30-10 pm. However, we only waited 20 minutes. Our server was EXCEPTIONAL. He kept up with our table and a huge table of 20 or so next to us. He did a great job. This time when we go we definitely get Sake. They have many choices. We are taking our friends here as we are very pleased with EVERYTHING. I like the contemporary decor with the exposed wood beams. Very lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience.
