Strange location when approached in the evening- Chifley Plaza in Sydney is deserted, looks like a mall all glass and tiles and escalators. Decor of restaurant matches the plaza. However the service is very good, the sashimi is excellent as were the eel and scallop nigiri. They offer many meat and tempura dishes but we just had the seafood based offerings and all were superb. A side note for budding magicians: Beer in thick large mugs with glass walls so thick the actual beer volume is around 150ml! But the large mug gives you the impression of plenty. Quite the illusion.

Agedashi tofu: not bad, quite fluffy and sauce is right 2. Sashimi assorted platter: SUPER FRESH! It has been the best sashimi I have ever eaten. 3. Teriyaki beef: alright tasty because beef wasn't soft enough and it was really pricey. 4. Grilled salmon belly and kingfish nigiri: REALLY SWEET and FRESH! Worth trying! 5. Special: grilled kingfish - not great 6. Hand rolls: average, not worth the price. 7. Green tea cake roll: it came with green tea ice cream which was very nice (very green tea). Cake was not what I expected because it was vanilla cake with green tea cream instead of the whole thing as green tea flavored. 8. Green Tea: good in terms of the flavor. Summary: must get sashimi and nigiri sushi but not much of the mains. Service: Quite good but a little clumsy in terms of missing two of the orders and I had to wait for my green tea for quite long. But they gave me the green tea for free after. Atmosphere: - Really nice seating - Comfy for couples, small groups of friends/gatherings

Special dietary requirements were no problem for Azuma they handled everything with complete professionalism. Thoroughly recommend!

The staff are friendly and polite and if you are unsure of what to order they will make suggestions...which they think are good and popular with other customers. We decided to try the sushi with handrolls and sashimi and they were both very fresh and almost melt in your mouth and very delicious. The Wagyu Tataki was different as did not not know what to expect as it is lightly seared and this was very delicious also. All other dishes that we tried were very delicious and tasty. The dishes came out slowly as you did not have to rush your meal and could relax a bit in between courses. If you park in Wilson Parking next to Chifley Square you can ask the staff for complimentary parking and they will stamp the ticket for you and advise what to do if there are problems. I would definitely return to this restaurant again either to try the Shabu Shabu or the degustation menu and enjoy it all over again.
