About

Azuki Sushi is in Banker’s Hill, centrally-located in the heart of San Diego. We are within walking distance of Balboa Park, The Gaslamp Quarter, Little Italy, and Hillcrest.

We have been providing a modern approach to the rich traditions of Japanese cooking for over 10 years. We pride ourselves in our charming and boutique setting. We offer a warm and inviting atmosphere for those wishing to indulge in our culinary delights.

As in Japan, the menu is based on the seasons, savoring the peak flavor of the ingredients. Our outstanding chefs deliver the fundamentals of Japanese cuisine, respecting the individual ingredients’ natural flavors.

We are passionate about what we do. We take special delight in introducing our guests to new wines, great cuisine, and surprising pairings of food with wine and sake.
We invite you to visit us for lunch or dinner. Reservations are highly recommended.

Food

The exceptional quality of our sushi is attributed to a unique combination of fresh ingredients, modern preparation techniques, and our Executive Chef’s more than 30 years of experience in Japanese culinary arts. Never satisfied with the mundane, we are constantly experimenting with innovative methods to refine our menu. Since we began our culinary adventure, we have only pursued the most sustainable and freshest products available.

Azuki Sushi offers a traditional and contemporary mix of sushi along with a variety of eclectic seafood items. We pride ourselves on using the finest quality of local and seasonal fresh fish, which arrive daily from local purveyors as well as the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo. Maintaining a sensitivity to environmental demands, it is our practice to offer sustainable varieties over overfished stocks. We are committed to using as much organic and local products as possible to ensure an ecologically-minded component to your eating experience at Azuki Sushi.
