Queensbay Mall
The sushi conveyor carries a rotating selection of nigiri, maki, and gunkan pieces at accessible price points, while the a la carte menu includes sashimi platters, grilled fish teishoku sets, udon and soba noodle dishes, tempura, and donburi. Azuma's interior is spacious and contemporary, with dedicated sushi bar seating for solo diners and larger tables for groups. The restaurant positions itself above the budget conveyor-belt chains with a broader menu and higher-quality ingredients, while remaining more affordable than premium Japanese establishments. Service is attentive and the kitchen accommodates both quick lunches and leisurely dinners.
Azuma operates Tuesday through Thursday from 11.30am to 9.30pm, and Friday through Sunday from 11am to 9.45pm. The restaurant is closed on Mondays.

This is the saltiest salmon teppanyaki I've ever tasted. The drinks are fine but it's a let down for a quite an expensive dish tasted like this. I cannot finish the meal because it was way too salty. Even the soy sauce tasted too salty.

We had lunch here. Jayden was efficient, taking name & contact politely for waiting list, patiently explained estimated waiting time, called me once there's seat. This is what I call, Customer Service with a SMILE.

As a person who enjoys Japanese food, I find that the food tastes more like Asian cuisine than authentic Japanese food
