" I have been going to Azuma for quite a while now and it never disappoints. The food is made fresh and the authenticity is palpable. I particularly enjoy the grilled fish and the teriyaki chicken—they pair perfectly with the rice. The only challenge is finding parking due to its popularity, but the quality of food makes it worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great little Japanese restaurant! Consistent quality and portions. I usually find myself ordering the curry udon—it’s comforting and easy to eat. This place doesn’t take reservations, which sometimes is a hassle, but the wait is almost always worth it with such satisfying food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Trying out new places is always exciting, and Azuma was a fantastic find! Their beef teriyaki was juicy and flavorful—definitely something I’d recommend to newcomers. Service was attentive and kept a good pace despite the full restaurant. Even better, the portions allow you to take home leftovers, making it a great value! " (*Curated Review*)

" A disappointing experience all around. I went in with high hopes for good Japanese comfort food, but the ramen I ordered was lackluster. They gave me a large portion, but the taste didn't justify the quantity. Service was friendly enough, but I’m not eager to return. It just didn’t live up to expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious! Azuma is a hidden gem. I've eaten here several times, and I've never had a bad experience. The authenticity of the food is fantastic! My favorite is the katsu curry—so comforting! I recommend going during off-peak hours as it can get a bit cramped. Their signature drinks are also a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not as impressed as I thought I'd be after hearing so much about Azuma. While the service was decent, I felt the food lacked authenticity; my curries didn’t taste as rich as I expected. The place has its charm, but I expected more flavor from the dishes. I might try again, but I won't rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are looking for authentic Japanese flavors, look no further! Every dish I ordered was well-prepared and fresh. The beef teriyaki was particularly tasty, and the portion sizes were generous for the price. The staff was friendly but busy, as the restaurant tends to get crowded. I will surely visit again with friends and family! " (*Curated Review*)
