Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Puente Hills

We sat on the outside patio, there was a man playing guitar and singing inside, they had a speaker out side so we could still here him. He was pretty good, and it wasn't so loud we couldn't talk. The food was seriously amazing, everything we ate was so darn good, we got one of the flat breads, the dirty fries with rattlesnake sauce (or something like that), each got a steak, also got the Mac and cheese with the bacon, and a side of the bacon along with a dessert item (a cobbler). Seriously one of my favorite restaurants in Southern California, if I didn't live 45 min away I'd eat here weekly. Especially since the entire menu (besides a couple beers) is gluten free. I took a non Celiac gluten eating friend there, he was amazed that it was all gluten free, said he could not tell.

Food, service and everything inbetween were amazing! Jake is an absolute star of a server and made our anniversary evening so special and memorable. Couldn’t recommend this place more for a special evening or if you just want to enjoy some really great italian food.

I’m a guy who doesn’t usually write reviews. Good food and service are expected when I go for a night out. But, Azabu is a place where simply goes above and beyond expectation to give you a high-end, premium experience. It is so awesome to them in Whittier! Definitely a place to go when you want to impress a date or you have a special occasion to celebrate! Every time I come, I keep ordering different things on the menu, and I am never disappointed! The sushi is always high-end. This time I ordered the Charred octopus as an appetizer - I mean, it was SO GOOD! I’ll be ordering this again and again! Also had their delicious signature sushi roll with wagyu beef slices. It comes out with an incredible presentation, unveiled with mysterious smoke swirling around it. The wagyu is melt in your mouth, and I absolutely LOVE the subtle tinge of smokiness that is imparted to the flavors. On past visits, I have ordered Japanese beers and sake. They have some delicious high end options that you don’t get at other sushi restaurants (even really good ones). On this visit we explored several different cocktails. Every single one was smooth and well balanced. We were celebrating, right, so I was delighted to try their top level old fashioned., and yes it is actually worth the price tag! When you come here, this is not a place to skimp, it’s a place to celebrate and treat yourself to a premium experience. Don’t be afraid to try the high end items, I promise you, they will be worth it! I have to give a shout out to Christine, our server - So attentive and friendly! No five star experience is complete without staff that can make you feel relaxed, comfortable, and welcomed. At Azabu you get a super special, high-end experience without any snootiness or snobbishness that could ruin the vibe. Everything about the place is a high-end experience, from the beautiful murals on the walls to the chairs you sit on. The owners of Azabu know how to dot their I’s and cross their T’s!

Great fast and friendly service. The food was amazing as were the coffee, mimosas and bloody Mary’s. I highly recommend this lil gem in the flower district of LA.

I have been here before and have received excellent service in the past. They were not that busy this time , yet we had to look for our server many times through out the night . Also, I had the sushi this time around it was not as fresh as times in the past. Still one of my faves from the area, but the quality did dip a bit.
