Azuma (HUNTER)

Been visiting Azuma over the years and came to celebrate my friends 50th at their new location on Phillip St. Staff were attentive and friendly, and the new layout was open and inviting. The 8 courses were well presented, and can clearly see the attention to detail on the small dishes. The journey also included the theme of the Japanese elemental colours and the flavours were well thought out. The fish were also cooked perfectly. The only minor things was the broth in the soup dishes were slightly salty and the zenzai red bean was a tad sweet for my preference. However the flavour profiles were there. Finished the meal with their world famous chiffon cake. If you want to experience a genuine Japanese cuisine in Sydney using some Australian ingredients, I do recommend you to try. Probably one of the best Japanese restaurant in Sydney

A beautifully appointed modern but authentic style Japanese restaurant that I happened across while staying at the Sebel Hotel next door during the lead up to the Sydney Marathon. The staff were extremely friendly and polite which has been my usual experience in both Japan and Australia. I must admit when I ordered the grilled lamb cutlet for $28.00 I was expecting some sort of side with it. I ordered the agadashi (a favourite of mine) as an entree. Both dishes were superb in both presentation and taste but I was still hungry. I then ordered the tempura prawns and vegetables and again, just perfect🥰 I enjoyed a refreshing ‘Moho’ mocktail with my meal (no alcohol leading up to the marathon 😊). The meal was expensive but for lovers of fine food I thought it was worth it. I’d certainly return❣️🥢🍱🍲🍤
