“Chef Richard Ly isn't just making the best Japanese food in the city; he's making some of the best food period in the city. If you haven't been, slap yourself in the mouth.”

“Still sitting in the parking lot of the restaurant to accomplish this review. If you are looking to walk into a restaurant and feel like you are walking through front door of “home”, this is the place. The atmosphere is relaxed; the staff welcomes you as if they have known you for a thousand lifetimes, and the food… the food is pure art. The food is a beautiful blend of art, poetry, passion and flavor. Chef Richard is a master craftsman who transports you into another world with his food. If you are wanting to ignite your soul, and you love food; please give this place a try. You won’t regret it.”

“I lived in Japan for about 10 years and I've got to say Awaji was very authentic! The Japanese curry was just as I remembered it from central Tokyo! Do yourself a favor and eat here! The decor is awesome, sushi was fantastic. Chef Richard, keep it up!”

“Holy moly. This is the best Japanese restaurant I ever been to. Service by Mr Noah was impeccable, the food was amazing, the drinks were outstanding. The environment and chill atmosphere is precisely what my partner and I were after. The prices were more than reasonable. Even though it’s a new establishment, it was absolutely phenomenal. We WILL be back soon, count on it!”
