Azyun Restaurant

Came here last night to try their set menu for 2 and it was amazing! What an experience for our mouths. We picked the eggplant, cold noodles, beef tartar, caviar risotto, and fried chicken and it was all amazing! We particularly thought the eggplant and beef tartar was very unique and a must try . Following those, the fried chicken and cold noodles also we're amazing - the chicken was so moist and crispy, and the kick & flavor of the noddles was . Lastly, the caviar risotto though very creamy and yummy , was missing some sort of wow factor. Don't get me wrong though, it was still amazing! We ended off with dessert which was not part of the set menu and was made during one of their iron chef challenges. I forgot exactly what it was called but it was essentially an ube-centered rice ball deep fried in a crusty coconut layer, surrounded but fruity drops on the plate. It was super unique from most desserts we tried and yummy as well! Shout out to the server who was also super knowledgeable, friendly, and patient Overall, for the price point $65 for set menu for 2 & $12 for dessert, before tax+tip and the quality of food and service, this place is a must try! You won't be disappointed. Excited to come back to try a new set menu, and maybe even their iron chef challenge on a special occasion! Dietary restrictions: The server asked about this to take into consideration, though we had none.

Azyun specializes in modern fusion Asian cuisine. I did enjoy their BBQ themed menu, but felt the food portions were small for the price. Flavour profiles were balanced and well seasoned. Unfortunately, our night was ruined by the terrible service. The waiter could not remember who ordered what drinks when addressing our table and forgot our fried chicken. I heard chefs rotate and do waiting shifts. Not a bad idea to prevent complacency, but this guy should be kept away from any sort of customer interaction. He killed it and not in a good way.

We came here for dinner and had the set menu for 2. The edamame spring rolls, chilled noodle salad, spicy cabbage and cherry belly rice were our favorites. I also had a drink that they were testing out which was a spin on lemon meringue pie which was delicious! The staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable. I would recommend making reservations as inside seating is limited. We will definitely be back again!

I wanted to treat my friends to a unique dinner as a gift, and enlisted the help of Azyun to create a custom iron chef menu for us. My friend wanted uni as the main ingredient and Azyun thoughtfully came up with a six course menu. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for something out of the box and more personal than your usual fine dining, as a custom iron chef menu experience is not available anywhere else as far as I’m aware of. Prices are reasonable, depending on your ingredient.

We REALLY liked the appetizers like chilled noodle and eggplants hands down. So damn good. I can have these every day. Paella had such a strong conch flavour overpowering everything which I thought could've easily been swapped by shrimp? I'm just assuming they were testing out more innovative combos but really didn't work for me. Fried chicken tasted great but I think it was a wrong call by me, assuming their other dishes might have been more innovative and has flavour combinations that I've never tasted. The homemade kimchi was a nice touch and tasted great but I think I still prefer pairing fried chicken with sour and crispy veggiespickled radish, coleslaw etc to balance out the heaviness. Mackerel was thoroughly de-boned which I know takes work, and the sauce was nice too but mackerel is mackerel. Its own flavour is always so strong and you can't really experience something new because of that. So if you love mackerel no matter what, it's definitely for you. My friend recommended the truffle fried rice and yeah, this hits a good spot. I definitely enjoyed this one the most in the mains. Drinks were alright. I honestly don't remember much about them, didn't leave strong impressions but they were not bad either.

Got the dinner for two. Dishes were really good but I would say it was slightly better prior to covid days. Fried chicken had an amazing crisp to it and truffle fried rice had the wok flavours. The eggplant was a tad too salty. Lighter seasoning overall on all the dishes would be perfect. Great, cozy atmosphere for anyone who wants to come by and have a nice, quiet meal and good convos.

I visited here thanks to my friend. It's one of the best dinner nights I had in like years. Their foods were all very different in a exceptionally good way. We ordered from cheesy spring rolls to the best pallea I ever had in my life. It was full of Uni if you know what I mean. This is somewhere I would bring my family when they come visit me in Canada. Ask Ricky if you need a suggestion on any drinks or even foods. He'll help you out :

Very tasty. Overall small/cozy environment. Ordered set menu for 2 and really enjoyed the cherry pork belly rice and beef tartare. Mango delight drink was surprisingly frothy and creamy. There's also a VIP promo on Facebook/Messenger as of August 2022 for deals Dietary restrictions: Our server asked us in advance if we had any allergies.

I think people that haven’t tried Azyun before doesn’t realize that 1 they serve some dishes in slightly smaller portions 2 it’s best you go with a group of people to really enjoy the variety of the food on the menu eg: 6 people 3 yes, it costs a bit but it’s well thought out fusion food 4 so be prepared for the fabulous umami from the food. Also wanted to note, Our server was very accommodating and was right on with suggesting the food we ordered would be enough. Have we ordered that extra dish, it would’ve been in a take out box. We’ve tried Azyun in the first year they opened for business and I can tell they’ve really enhanced their menu. My whole family was super impressed with the food and everyone went home with a very full belly. Keep up the amazing work! PS: my favourite was the truffle rice and the crunchy ramen.

Unique and interesting food in a vibrant downtown ambience. The pork belly here is very special. Super tender and delicious. The crab chawanmushi was a bit too different and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone unfamiliar with the dish.Food: 5/5
