been eating at this restaurant for years, like the food, however, had been over-charged a few times, from a few dollars to close to $100 most recently..i generally do not review the bill, however every time i did i discovered the charges to be inaccurate. the strange thing is without exception, the waitress not only did not acknowlege the mistake, the bill get adjusted voluntarily without a word. does anyone else have smiliar experience?

This is among my favorite top 3 sushi restaurants in LA/OC. Yes, Sasabune is pretty expensive, but the chef know how to choose fresh fishes everyday. The sushi that the chefs made are based from the traditional Edo style which I tasted from the high-class sushi restaurants in Tokyo, warm rice with a decent size of melt-in-your-mouth fish. Not everyone appreciate this style of sushi, but if you like it, you'll totally love it.

I recently went to this restaurant and had a horrible experience. The sushi chef seemed to drench everything in ponzu sauce, the cuts of fish were small, distorted and mangled, the sushi rice ranged from adequate to gummy, and the green tea ice cream was horrendous. Thee food quality has fallen here, and I don't think I will go back.

this is without a doubt the most special sushi experience you can have in los angeles. it is very authentic and something that you have to experience if you like raw fish. everything they serve is mouth watering delish and that is the reason not to use a menu-it is as fresh as it gets and I am a picky fish eater. I hate weird and old food...so I highly suggest you try this place...this restraurant is in my top 5 LA picks.

Simply the finest sushi in Los Angeles. Nobe creates his Omakase menu based not only the absolute finest fish available that day, but also to his guests' preferences, as he gets to know you. In other words, each time you go there, the experience gets better. His slogan of "Trust me", should be taken at face value, for that trust and appreciation of the exquisite and often unique fare he serves, is returned tenfold. (Please note that my low rating for "scene" reflects the old Sawtelle location.)

Not for the sushi newbie, just let them guide you through the meal.

Uncompromising in the selection of fish, Sasabune has the best sushi in town. The decor is as spartan as one can imagine, and there are none of the typical Americanized favorites--the closest they come are blue crab hand rolls (delicious). The omakase is stunning every time, and won't kill your wallet ($45-$60 per person, food only).
