    Azie is my favorite restaurant in the city. As a Mid-westener, I am very picky. Especially when it comes to foreign cuisine, but my tastebuds were absolutely blown away by the unique blending of flavors and the exquisite sauces. The atmosphere is very apeasing, but my attention was continuously drawn to the open view of the amazingly talented line cooks preparing the meals (noteably the adorable pantry/sautee chef)!

    New chef Yo Matsuzaki presents delicious and innovative combinations. I was reluctant to order the green curry duck. We have Thai all the time. But his version of curry had a Chinese flair to it--hints of anise and cinnamon--made the best curry I've had in a long time. Another thing we enjoyed was his use of spice. I usually shy away from jalapenos as too spicy, but enjoyed three dishes with the peppers and thought the heat was perfect! First was the sashimi of the day. Japan-born Matsuzaki uses the sashimi to offer daily variety. I can't remember what type of fish we had, but each was crowned with a tiny circle of pepper and it was perfect! Also excellent: spicy shrimp small plate, seafood wontons. Beef small plate came as skewers of beef and green onion, with sauteed onion underneath and mayonaise. Classic taste pairing with a hint of Asian marinade and melt-in-your mouth beef. The short ribs are a signature of the restaurant that predates the current chef, as is the salted calamari. We didn't try the calamari, but the ribs were excellent. Also excellent was the cod. Matsuzaki says he plans to bring fresh items to the menu soon, keeping the good crowd of regulars happy. The atmosphere is lovely. Upstairs area can be reserved for a private party, which we have also experienced.
