For some reason the
name of this place looks really cool written out. Look at it. There's
something about the way the 'z' and 'k' set each other off, I think.
But maybe it's just me. If only Azuki's food were as cool as its name
looks. What it does have going for it, tough, is the sheer volume
of grub that comes in your plastic and cardboard to-go containers.
I ordered the chicken teriyaki lunch bento box, and the thing came
with chicken teriyaki, California roll, steamed shrimp dumpling, edamame,
miso soup, salad, rice and a Roman bucket into which I'd deposit the
first three courses before digging in to the rest of my feast. All
this, and for only eight bucks. That kind of scratch buys you like
a half of a tuna sandwich in a fly strewn bodega in Manhattan these
days, so this thing turns out to be quite a deal. Was I blown away
by the food? When was the last time lunch blew you away? And, yes,
I know some of you out there have business accounts that allow you
to go to fancy pants midtown joints with other dudes in suits. Me,
I go to mediocre Japanese restaurants and gorge myself on barely memorable
grub that only leaves me feeling extra gross and super sad that I
don't have a corporate card and suit of my own. [MF]
