Editorial Review for Azuma-Downtown – by Joshua Hinsdale
In Short
With a chic location in the Rice Hotel and a modern Asian-inspired decor, the second Houston location for Azuma caters to hustling downtown hipsters who visit at lunch for their weekly sushi fix or saunter in during happy hour to try something new. Fried noodle soups, tempura and teriyaki augment a traditional sushi menu, ensuring non-fish eaters don't feel left behind.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoThe chef from the original Azuma location oversees both restaurants, so diners can expect the same high level of quality at Azuma/Rice as they do at the original Azuma in the Village.

I'm a huge sushi eater and lover and have tried numerous sushi bars. Azuma D/T is my favorite, hands down. I love the White Angel & Red Devil sushi plates..they are awesome! The fish is always fresh and I actually witnessed a delivery of fish once. They guy came in with this huge, fresh fish and they unwrapped the fish, cleaned it and began to slice it up for sushi. Ask for a Melon Rita..those are great too! I like RA too on Westheimer and their lobster & shrimp roll is to die for but to me, Azuma has better rolls overall and their sushi taste fresher.

It's nice having a sushi restaurant downtown, but it's not very impressive. The decor is wonderful and the service is nice, but the two times I have eaten here I wasn't impressed. I've had fresher fish at other sushi restaurants in town.
Pros: location, decor
Cons: not the best sushi
