Sushi Ara in Azusa

New owners! Fresher fish, live seafood, great flavors! Kevin, the new owner and head chef, is very friendly and knows his sushi.

Good food, me and my boyfriend had the chicken bowls. Wonderful atmosphere. Sort of like a high end waba grill

Great sushi, very reasonable prices, and great service. All around awesome experience

Great service an good prices

Good food good service

Disclaimer *This not based on staff* The wait time was beyond crazy. Went with the all you can eat option, first round took about 1 hour to get! The staff was nice and the first round good but couldn't deal the wait. Place was about 80% full so it seem like the chefs could not keep up. The tables around us were dealing with the same pain we were. Made a deal with the server to pay a portion, so we could leave.

Love this place so good amazing service fresh

The prices are insane at happy hour.

Food is always delicious and always fast.

Food was delicious and the place is really nice.

This place just switched to a new owner, and I loved what they've done with it. Great sushi, friendly staff, nice ambiance. I'll go back.

Bang for buck the best AYCE sushi I've had.

Great sushi excellent service fair prices good atmosphere

A delightful sushi experience. Good food, good date spot potential.The servers were friendly and helpful. When it comes to the price to value and experience ratio, I would say it's a five-star sushi spot. Their sushi is reasonably priced compared to the quality. Quality of the fish is pretty good. I would say the plain eel cuts were not worth it, but the rest definitely was.Atmosphere was great. It has great aesthetic appeal and felt like a good place to hold a conversation. It's the type of place I can see myself bringing a girl on a date or treating some relatives and friends.

First time I went here for dinner and I found they have live fish in the tank!! I really like sashimi so I didn’t hesitate to order live fish. They served many kinds of food for appetizer. Live fish sashimi was very fresh and tasty, price is so reasonable. Now I don’t have to go far away for having live fish. I love this place.

My first time here tonight. I had an hour to kill and was hungry. I selected the two choices dinner option. I had the salmon and 4 piece sushi option. The sushi was fresh and descent quality. It came with a salad with a delicious dressing and miso soup. The presentation of the food was good and glad the taste was good too. The price very reasonable

I don’t necessarily like to give reviews, occasionally yes, but here I really enjoyed my time. Rolls were very well done and normally, I’m pretty picky with my rolls and sushi. Here the price was great and I was incredibly satisfied with the taste. I will most definitely come back again.

The staff is friendly and the Sushi is Delicious. I would recommend it to my family and friends!

Awesome service and great food

Not great the salmon was...watery if that makes sense and the roll had tasted weird. Also for most of the meal we ate off our napkins because they didn't give us plates. I'm just glad they forgot to give us one of the two rolls we ordered. Because I couldn't stomach to eat any more.

Great sushi and super friendly staff, awesome all you can eat lunch special!

Chef prepares your order a bit slow. Otherwise it would have been a 5 star restaurant.

Overall good sushi spot. B rating in the door kinda made me think twice but with this pandemic and limit sushi spots might as well give it a try. Food was good. The salmon skin handroll with masago was one, if not the best I've had, kudos to the chef in making that happen.

Excellent service great food

Absolutely amazing sushi, service is excellent, staff is super friendly, LOVE THIS PLACE

Friendly local restaurant with great customer service and tasty food. Variety in Japanese menu and some Korean dish.Bentobox is a definitely great choice for takeout.I will definately come back and try again.

Had a great time w my hubby!! Great good, great portion for the price!! Also loved the interior! Will definitely visit again!

It’s really good! The workers are sooo nice! Love the California rolls! It’s the only one I’m familiar with. This is an awesome place to get sushi usually I would have to drive 30 minutes to get some great place! Love it

Great deal to buy 2 rolls and the 3rd for $1, best dynamite roll and Vegas roll too

Service was excellent. Great price. Good beer on tap. We will definitely go back. Also we have recommended to our friends.

Highly recommended! Fresh delicious sushi and every food was look so beautiful. The chef in this restaurant is so professional and respectful. Inside tables are clean and tidy. I could enjoy fresh sashimi also and taste good. The restaurant's mood is calm and enjoyable so I felt comfortable in there. I definitely would like to visit again. Are you looking for some great sushi bar? Go Sushi Ara.Best choice.

first time at this sushi place overall the food and service was great. Definitely will come again.

first time back after about 2 months come to find out there is a new owner and has been remodoled, but i have to say its still a great place great service and food.

One star for (newly renovated) decor. I swear there must be new owners! I gave this place 5 stars about 8 months ago... Give or take. Was excited to come back only to be completely disappointed! Terrible server (she goofed up my order, didn't know the menu or specials) and poor quality food (sushi rolls crafted as if they're on a tight budget... Very slim with little fish), tempura (was supposed to be shrimp but got veggies with 1 shrimp) tasted like it was fryed in old oil (didn't get sick, thank goodness). Missing the old place! Bummer

Best all you can eat ever

The fish is exquisitely presented and stunningly fresh. Eel melted in my mouth and, oh, the mussels are impeccable.

Poor service. Wasn't terrible, just sub par compared to other places nearby. AYCE menu was confusing. There's no reason to have 2 papers with AYCE on one side and a la carte on the other. Have 1 paper for AYCE and one paper for a la carte. I didn't know half the AYCE menu because of those papers. Rolls were decent, but the thai tea I ordered had no flavor at all. It was like watered down milk. I asked for more tea but it just tasted the same. Bland. I don't recommend this place, go to Sake Roll across the street. It's small but I'm a regular and they are consistently good with their AYCE.

Customer service is on point. Food is great !

Fast service great food friendly staff

Food's good, but I guess I must've been sitting too close to the kitchen because it was a bit muggy. Would be much more immersive if they played traditional Japanese music to attain an elegant, reverent ambience, or they could play contemporary stuff for a fresh mood too.

Food was good, what we got any ways. they forgot half the order and when we asked they blamed it on trainee and took long. my advice don't go if the servers are guys. They Don't know how to multitask. disappointed customer. Won't go back... Sushi Holics never disappoints.

So I’ve been here a few times and it seems like the owner changed. The food is pretty legit here and I do appreciate the service very much. It is very nice inside so I was in favor with that portion.

Beware of hidden cameras. You'll get charged extra if you don't finish all your food. They're able to see everything through the hidden cameras, and will be watching you eat. My buddy got charged $8 extra for simply not finishing his rice. They told us that they saw us through the hidden cameras. In addition, the sushi was mediocre.

Good.food.good.service a little expensive

Their Dragon roll is really good and I really enjoy the inside of the restaurant. They're very polite and the owner even gave us some free spicy albacore which was divine!

One of my favorite sushi places to go to :)

Great place! Good customer service, reasonable prices, awesome happy hour, and yummy food!

I always stop getting some food in this spot. I love the prompt customer service and well prepared food. 5 stars.

Food is great, great prices, friendly staff.
