Sushi Sasabune
Owner
Sushi Sasabune is a Japanese sushi restaurant located in the upscale Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. Previously housed in "Little Tokyo West" on Sawtelle Boulevard, this authentic sushi gem now has a more spacious home. Choose between table seating and a seat at the busy sushi bar where you can see Sushi Sasabune's chefs at work. High-quality menu items include sushi, crab rolls, salmon, and much more. For an adventurous experience, try the omakase (chef's menu). The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner.

The Scene – Nestled into a Wilshire office building, the minimalist dining room here is spacious and airy, though somewhat noisy. Tall windows and white walls are accented with blond wood and cherry-lacquered tables; a slinky wraparound sushi bar encircles a half-dozen lively sushi chefs. Business crowds come for lunch, while after-work groups and younger upscale Brentwood locals stop in for dinner. – – The Food – Like his famous sushi master Kazunori Nozawa chef-owner Nobi Kushuhara offers a streamlined menu of only sushi and sashimi--no hot dishes or fancy rolls.…

Soooooooooooo overated, had no good experience
by niceandcute at Citysearch
Went there with my boyfriend on a Friday night. I made reservation ahead. But still got a bad spot. Maybe it's just they are too popular so they are running out of nice spots. Each customer must order at least 4 items. Food is good, but it's not beyond my expectation. IAnd each came in a tiny portion, only 2pcs for each order. And there's nothing other than sushi on the menu which means my boyfriend and I have spend more than $50 on sushi and still feel starving. And the waiters are not friendly.
- Pros: food is ok
- Cons: overated, bad service, expensive

Good food

Little Tokyo has the bomb sushi for realz...a great spot. Club Sushi is the best in Hollywood. It really depends on where you want to drive for good food.

- Pros: Great Food

The Details on Sushi Sasabune
Know Before You Go:
The chef insists that the warm rice sushi won't travel--even a block--and forbids that even a single roll be ordered for take-out.
Look Good:
If you want to sit at the sushi bar, you must order omakase. Note that the staff will accommodate specific requests and dietary restrictions.
What to Drink:
There are a handful of red and white wines offered, and a more select premium sake list. They also offer soju, plum wine and a special Hitachino Belgian white ale from Japan.
