We came to Aozora Japanese Restaurant to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. She absolutely loved it. We ordered the Cherry Blossom, Salmon Lover, and Under the Sea sushi rolls, and every single one was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Everything paired perfectly with a Japanese IPA and a Sapporo, which made the meal even better.The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night, which really added to the overall experience. To top it all off, before we left they surprised us with a birthday dessert for her, which thoughtful.Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. We’ll definitely be coming back, highly recommend for a special occasion or date night.

Disappointed because this place is so close to home. Service felt cold and unwelcoming, and our server was unenthusiastic. The sashimi didn’t taste fresh, and I experienced stomach issues later that night which is what ultimately prompted me to write this review.

Enjoyed a light dinner. Ordered the karaage and although it was done excellently it was very salty. Could have been the sauce. The rolls were good but not outstanding. Enjoyed sitting outdoors with wind protection and the heaters were on so I didn’t feel any chill.

I wanna start things off by saying almost all of the food was excellent! Sushi was clearly higher quality than other similar sushi restaurants in the area. We had a spider roll, Baja California roll, evil roll, hamachi, tempura, edamame, chicken karaage(!!!!), and a few others. The only food item I wasn’t crazy about was the card because it was a bit fishy. Otherwise everything was excellent.
However this place is severely understaffed. We sat here and ate for almost 3 hours. The food came out as such a bizarre pace, we had the main entrees before anything else.
However that said I do want to come back once they have worked out the kinks

Delicious!! Great staff ! We stuck to small plates and sushi. Sushi was a bit backed up but no worries small plates came out quickly and were tasty. Sushi was also great and kinda worked as a finisher. Drinks were awesome we enjoyed a sake flight and cocktails.
Foods were:
Sushi: Baja California roll
Gyu: Wagyu
Mekabetsu: Brussels sprouts with mustard sauce
Gyoza: were not our favorite would honestly skip next time
Karaage: Japanese style fried chicken sweet/spicy sauce ! Yum
Cocktails:
6 Feet Apart ( gin based) yum
When is it going to be here ( tequila based) YUM
Dewazakura Sampler ( this was our first sake experience and it was very pleasant)
Awesome place would highly recommend, we sat outside, great atmosphere and heaters!

Great Japanese restaurant in Danville’s Livery. We like that we can make reservations at this restaurant especially on a weekend when it’s quite busy. It has a fair amount of seating inside the restaurant as well as outdoors with a few portable heaters.
The staff is courteous and attentive despite it being a busy night when we were there.
Food was delicious and we were served very quickly. I was amazed at how quickly everything was prepared. We had several sushi rolls, Salmon dinner, and Okonomiyaki (prawn and cabbage pancake). All the rolls and salmon dinner were great! The Okonomiyaki could be better; it was just too doughy for me.
Overall, the experience was good.

We came for my brother’s birthday and had a great time. We dined outside, had delicious drinks and the food was outstanding. Also enjoyed the music selection that played. Overall, just a really great dining experience!

We received a gift card for this place and went in with zero knowledge. The spicy garlic edamame was a welcome surprise and def worth to get. I think every single drink is overpriced and it’s better to get another sushi roll that might even be cheaper. The fish was super good and all the rolls while a bit pricey were very tasty. Hot tea is $2 a person, not on the menu? The fire warming stations outside are nice and fun. Our waiter was fine, the waitstaff were great. I would only come back with another giftcard as this price per roll is high. But i did enjoy my time.

Honestly they could have earned a 5 Star If the service was better. The food was excellent. Sushi ripe are delicious. Stars of the show were Karagi chicken, and miso black cod.
Service really lacked. I’m assuming the waiter was new….☹️

Ordered takeout for my virtual holiday party and was pleasantly surprised with the quality and freshness of the fish. We tried the spicy garlic edamame and karage chicken and both great. And the tempura was excellent considering it was takeout and not really warm when we had it. The tempura was still crispy. We will definitely be back again!
