Azuma Japanese Cuisine

About my third time here. Had several items: *Kikko liver. Interesting dish. Chicken livers and mushrooms baked in a sweet sauce. Tasty but too sweet. *Soft shell crab appetizer. Not greasy. Generous portion. Nothing special. *Shrimp kushiyaki skewers. Two per skewer, two skewers. Swimming in yakitori sauce. Could taste the grill, but overcooked. *Chicken yakitori. Same as shrimp. Cooked well, still too much sauce. *Cucumber roll. Not bad. *Chicken domburi. Very large portion with tempura veggies. Sauce on the side allowed for control. Good. Came with soup and salad. Service was great, they were busy.

Poor service, food prep took 40 min, while they were moderately busy and there were 4+ people behind the sushi counter area. That plate on the bottom right of the photo was under my elbow the whole lunch, even though we had empty plates that could have been taken away by staff, which made it very uncomfortable for me. The steak shreds on top of the sushi were cold and blend, while the sushi itself was warm.

I was impressed with the rolls and how neatly the food was packed. I usually don't eat sushi since I prefer sashimi, so eating baked rolls is still very new to me. I loved the Sushi Pizza Roll (bottom roll) because it had everything in it: shrimp tempura, unagi, hamachi, avocado, cucumber, crab meat, gobo, and cheese!
