Azukar

I’ve never came here for the club portion, but from what I understand at the moment it’s been shut down anyway because their liquor license has been suspended.
The location is kind of hard to spot because there isn’t really a sign for the place. And you have to enter these big metal gates before you actually get in. I almost missed the place if it wasn’t for a small standing floor sign with the menu out front.
I came here for dinner with my friends and I didn’t know it was an all you can eat sushi place. If I had known I may not have snacked beforehand. But everything was made to order which I thought was nice. With a group of five people, we were able to order quite a variety of different rolls to try out. And probably ate a lot more than we should have in the process.
But overall, it was a good experience. Costs a bit more then fuji’s but the quality was a bit better. Although no unlimited sashimi, you have to pay extra for that. And the atmosphere is definitely more fancy.

Been here three times now for lunch… I don’t know nothin’ ’bout the nighttime scene. The sushi is kind of weird, tho. Everything is made to order (a plus), fresh (BIG plus), and it really is AYCE (a plus if you’re into quantity). The shari, on the other hand, is bland and tastes like it has almost no seasoning at all (huge minus). Yeah, I know… whattaya want for 13 bucks, right? I guess if I had to choose between fresh fish/​bland rice or iffy fish/​tasty rice, I’d go with the former, but why can’t I have fresh fish AND tasty rice? I mean, really… skimping on VINEGAR?
I’ll probably go back, but I have to be in the mood for quantity over quality.

This place is by far the oddest dining/​entertainment establishment: Sushi restaurant by day, latino club by night. The one time I went to the club, i wasnt impressed, and apparently the club has even shut down recently. But the sushi place is still going strong. Where else can you get all-​you-​can-​eat, made-​when-​you-​order sushi for $ 16?! Well, $ 16 for lunch, $ 21 for dinner. But they have quite the selection on both menus, and even include appetizers (like gyoza and edemame), nigiri, and desserts in the all-​you-​can-​eat selections. Just make sure to ask for your check early if you’re in a hurry! Oh and for the avocado lovers out there: you gotta have the sunflower roll!

Ok… not bad but loads of room for improvement! I came here on Saturday to party with some friends. We had VIP on lock this night so it was free.99. Good start! We get through the VIP line no problems but then we get frisked to go into the club. A TSA pat down to go into the club??? Um Mix doesn’t do that! As a matter of fact I have never been frisked to get into a Vegas club either. I don’t mind getting groped but I was kind of hoping it would be from an attractive, (babelicious yea that’s my word) woman. At least 2 cop cars out front um what kind of place is this? Anyway not feeling the whole TSA pat down.
Now the place is not bad but a major remodel is in order. The VIP area downstairs is nice but very narrow. The other dance room near the entrance was pretty nice. The entrance and exit area are not well defined and looks like a cage. Not inviting at all.
The service was pretty good the wait staff kept coming by our booth to check on us which was cool. Now to compete with the Park, Mix in that same area Azukar falls well short and gets exposed on all fronts of what a club should look and feel like. It doesn’t have that vibe! Also They have a no IN and OUT policy which I found out the hard way. I told the security guy I was leaving and I would be back. The fact that I couldn’t get back in was never even spoken to me at all.
Well safe to say I probably will party elsewhere! Until this place gets a makeover or change their format! I will not return here.

Loud, sweat, and fear…
I came here for my friends B-​day party.
Loud: Downstairs in our VIP booth the music was so loud everyone had to literally yell just to talk to each other. I heard they were going to move or re-​model the place. Hint, Hint nows your chance to make the booths better…
Sweat: I went upstairs to check out the latin music playing and they must have wanted everyone to experience how the weather is in South America because it was ridiculously hot. The room was packed, but it was so hot and humid I decided to go back downstairs where it was cooler.
Fear: First off, I truly understand about security, but these guys looked at me as if I just got out of jail… didnt feel too secure about that, and that was just to get in. Some guys in our group told the door security they would come back and was told ok. Come to find out when they returned, they were not allowed back in… all cool points out the window…
Downstairs at our VIP booth, the workers and mostly security used the VIP space to travel back and forth so there was so much traffic that you couldn’t enjoy being there in the club without having to move out of the way for someone. The waitress was click to clean up the table and we had to remind her about the Champagne for the group…
Overall, its ok. I have been to way better, more comfortable, and more enjoyable clubs…

The sushi here is decent and at night it turns into a club.
*** Azukar has moved to Splash
Woah, been there twice and both time I left early to go home to my pets. Never again. Not for me.

This place is pimp. Again I’m not a bar/​club guy so I may be impressed by little things but hey…
Did a show here, wearing jeans, T-​shirt, Lakai’s and had me skateboard with me…
Part of the biggest reason I don’t go out, is because I don’t (with finger quotations) dress up. So even though it was urban line that was being shown (shout out to Shine Clothing) I got to get into a club wearing my normal clothing. Amazing to me, knowing that had I not been modeling that night, they might’ve never let me near the place.
I was there for rehearsal the night before so I met the manager and the owners, suave individuals I must say…
They made sure the performers were treated great, VIP, bottle service, all the things you can do to make someone comfortable.
Upstairs and downstairs are fantastic and clean. Get’s kinda sweaty on the dance floor but that’s what it’s all about right.
When I start wearing grown up clothes, I’ll come here anytime…

I’ve been here twice and both times had good times (but good times due to my company, not b/​c this place was so amazing and blew my mind away).
So, why 3 stars? Well, the place is overall alright. You can add yourself to the guest list and enter without cover before 11pm. So, make sure to do that… it’s not worth it to pay the cover. Expect to wait in line if you decide to show up like 15 minutes before 11 pm… which is what happened to my group and me. You can wear/​bring your jacket; there’s coat check. I think it costs you $ 3.
Inside, it has an upstairs and downstairs dance floor. I liked the music downstairs when my group went last weekend. The drinks were alright, typically priced. The bartender upstairs was pretty nice, but being topless and good looking probably helped.
Anyway, I feel like there were a number of creepy guys looking to dance with you. you think you’d be flattered, but no (at least not for me). So, yeah… no more comments. :o) Go to SF for nicer clubs.

I think this place is fun. It looks ghetto outside but inside is quite spacious with an upstairs, a downstairs and a foyer area.

Eh, this place is okay. My friends and I were invited to a private party downstairs, which by itself was a lot of fun, but there was nothing spectacular about the service, drinks, atmosphere, etc. The music was plenty loud and booming on both floors, and there was definitely a ton of dancing (mainly just grinding upstairs, though).
I didn’t interact with the bartenders upstairs, but the ones downstairs were friendly and accommodating. The party had cake but my friends and I showed up a few hours after they had served it so all the plates and forks and knives were put away already, but after my friend asked one of the bartenders to bring them back out, he politely obliged.
Note: the downstairs bathroom is a lot nicer and cleaner looking than the one upstairs, so if you’re able, head down there to do your business.

$ 15 flat-​rate parking fee (worth it, there are attendants.)
$ 15 entrance.
$ 3 per coat check.
Drinks, expensive. Bartender was very quick, especially when you’ve got cash in the air!
Checked out Azukar this past Saturday. The weather was not in our favor… pouring rain. Azukar was prepared. They had A few instant canopies up, line organized and kept dry. We weren’t in line long at all. The line guy was enforcing dress code before falling in line. I thought this was efficient since it was raining. Who wants to stand out there, wet and cold! Parking was a breeze. Costly, but again, the weather. Cute shoes, wet ground. You do the math!
Got in pretty quickly, checked in the coat and headed to the bar. The dance floor was packed! The place was packed! Wall to wall. There was enough room to lightly squeeze through the crowd. The music was fun, but I didn’t understand the lyrics. The majority of the patrons were Mexican-​Spanish descent. That was the only observation I had, but it sure made a fun night better! Everyone was dancing away. My drink fell out of my hand (so is the story I will tell). No, really…, I was jumping around and the drink caught my husband’s elbow. Liquor and glass on the dance floor. They should serve drinks in acrylic stuff! Ha-​ha!
Azukar has 2 dance floors from what I could see, but the other room is for VIP folks. I’m assuming this due to the bouncer that stood at the entry way. People were friendly and generally were out to have a good time. I danced til my feet gave up.
I’ll go here again, but put my name on the guest list so I don’t pay for entrance.

Two Words: Made Fresh :)
This is not your run of the mill all you can eat joints. Everything is made fresh right after you order it. Nothing has been sitting out, no food was kept warm by heat lamps… FRESH FRESH FRESH!!!
$ 12.99 for all you can eat Lunch. (if you don’t know me by now, I LOVE all you can eat joints… can’t stop, won’t stop eating) $ 19.99 for the all you can eat dinner.
After receiving our Dior make overs at Macy’s Downtown, my GF and I decided to go to lunch since neither of us had anything to eat the whole day and it was already noon and we both didn’t have to be at work until 1:30pm.
This place is amazing! Customer service was great. There were at least three people taking our orders or handing us our food. We tried four different roles at first. Each role had about 4 pieces; which is nice because you can’t get full off of one roll. You can still taste other things on the menu. We basically tried all the rolls on the menu and a couple of Nigri items (2 nigiri per order). We didn’t have to wait too long for our orders. For dessert we had sesame balls and sweet donuts. They were hot when they came out. Literally straight from the fryer. that’s how fresh everything was. I’ll definitely be back again!

Ugh. What a hole.
My work had a birthday/​going away party here on a Friday night and even the women I work with who frequent dance clubs in far worse areas of Norcal felt like an hour TOPS was worth what was paid for VIP. Why is everyone giving this low-​class pick-​up joint so many stars?

The drinks are a bit overpriced here… Actually, most of the drinks I ordered required some explaining which was a bit annoying because I just wanted a drink.
There are two levels… first floor had Latin music while the bottom floor had hip hop. The music that night (for hip hop) was really meh in general. They have so much more potential than that. I would have preferred dancing to the entrance room’s songs which was more like top40 music.
The ventilation throughout the place wasn’t too bad. Not a fan of the area in general, felt like I was constantly in danger.

916−444−8450 is the number to Azukar Lounge. or at least their lost and found. How do I know? I lost my camera battery, my memory card, some cash, my mac lipglass, my fave chapstick, and some pantyliners. Hahah. I’m mostly disappointed about my memory card, wahhhh! Take the battery, take the camera, but not the memory card!!!
Anyway, to add on to my previous reviews… their shots are HUGE!!! It’s what led to the loss of my beloved memory card! And apparently they’ve changed the décor? Looks a lot brighter and more colorful. Not sure though, night was a blur. Where did the time go? Did they close early?! =P

This place was over crowded, overrated, no thanks!
Music: the same thing they play over and over on your local top 40 stations, no thanks, sticky floors.
Bartenders: we walk up to the first bar; right by the entrance, waiting patiently; one bartender, were moving closer, yes we are at the bar it’s our turn, wait didn’t they just arrive to the bar and we have been standing her for like 20.69 minutes, OK, wave him done, he does not acknowledge us, again, passes up by again, again, WTF!!! OK, finally it’s our turn, service o stars!!!
Oh mind I mentioned I was wearing a black mini dress and I was overdressed, if you come here, come in your bra and panties and you will fit right in!
I would not waste my time going here again I think I only survived about 25 minutes in that place waste of $ 30.00

Ya know a club is sketch when:
— Tha ladies get in free (at least on the evening I went)
— You hear comments such as «I should have dressed like a hooker, I feel outta place».
— The boys have to pay a cover, unless they’re on the list (luckily, they gave the old man a refund)
— The boys get frisked, within an inch of being molested, before they can enter
— There’s a police car parked right in front of the entrance
— Oh, at least 4 po-​po are on hand, to take care of those who get outta hand.
… And, all of this was before 10pm, on a Friday night. We only stayed a good 15 — 20 minutes; just enough time for the old man to get frisked, get my purse searched, see lots of cleavage, say «hi» and buy the Birthday girl a shot or two, or three. I guess the more shots you take, the better… that way, the cops can come to your rescue faster.
Maybe I’m just a dive bar kinda gal? Maybe I’m just getting old? I surely don’t want to pay a cover to grace this place with my presence.
Don’t think I’ll be coming back here… next birthday person that has a party here will be getting a card and an invite to a little less sketchier establishment

We didn’t come here for the after hours dancing– but rather for the food.
The menu states that Azukar is a fusion of Mexican and Peruvian. I would have to say that the food is definitely VERY authentic Peruvian. Since coming here, I hadn’t found a restaurant in the states that made Ceviche that tasted near identical to the dish in Peru. I also ordered the Aji de gallina– which was fantastic as well. Very very good restaurant and I highly recommend it for people looking to satisfy any Peruvian cravings.
For you alcohol lovers– I requested a Pisco sour which is a traditional «cocktail» in Peru. Apparently they will be getting some in next month (late June possibly?) — I recommend you try this too.
Overall– excellent food. Excellent price (according to US standards– I’m sure you can get the equivalent meal for ¹⁄₃ the price in Peru). I highly recommend it!
Cheers!

This place is ok. They hold the line for a while, which can always be a bit irritating, but whatever. There is a dress code and cover — varies from night to night. There is one long main bar and one shorter bar on the back wall — and it is hard to get drinks from either one.
I’ve gotten a table once at this club and it seems like if you have a table then all of the above go away. No waiting in line, no hassle about dress code, and never waiting in line for drinks. Just walk in, dance, and drink.
So unless your getting a table you might be better off somewhere else.
[I’ll update this if I ever decide to go back to check out the food.]

Went there last night with the same people and of course we had a booth again! Don’t you just love VIP treatment?!?
We sat at our booth and in mere minutes they brought us our bottles of Grey Goose and Patron, oh and don’t forget the buckets of Beer!
These people here make sure when you spend that kind of money you get the right treatment and your moneys worth!
I love this place and will be coming back soon! Let me know if you care to join!
