Everything we tried was really good, except for the spicy tuna on crispy rice - a must-order for me at any sushi spot- tasted a bit off here. Otherwise, I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely one of the better sushi spots in the valley. On a side note, we ordered fresh wasabi and they charged us $10 extra; we didn't say anything but it's definitely odd. For two people we spent roughly $300, without drinks. Not bad considering the quality. read more

Great Omakase in Studio City! They also have a tasting menu for $200 but the $140 sushi Omakase was filling and tasty enough for us. There is valet parking in the small lot. There's metered street parking or you can try to park in the alley behind the complex or park on Radford where CBS studios are 1/4 block north. Just watch for signs. They didn't get their uni delivery so they substituted waygu. The chefs prepared the pieces perfectly but they can do substitutions for diet. We heard from the table near that they didn't like white onion in their hand rolls and another table wanted gluten free soy sauce. Servers explained the pieces and how they all fit. They recommended our choice of miso (we got see bass and red snapper collar). It's nice inside. Bathrooms are well stocked, though the women's room has mouthwash. read more

Some of the best sushi in Los Angeles, everything was of excellent quality and so fresh. We loved the spicy tuna crispy rice, loved the all the different types of tuna, probably the best scallops I have had my entire life. Everything was absolutely delicious. The service here is absolutely amazing, everyone with big smiles and super kind and extremely attentive. Easily because my favorite sushi spot in LA. Great ambiance, parking is crazy in this area so valet is super convenient too. Valet parking staff was super nice as well. read more

It was ok. It'd be really good if it was fairly priced. But it's not fairly priced for what you get. And this is coming from someone who has dropped 1k for a sushi dinner before. Ambiance is small normal place in strip mall. The waiters and waitresses we had were friendly. Maybe a little rushed feeling. We did the 200 dollar omakasa type thing. It's. Or just sushi. More like some adventurous dishes. The. Some sushi. Some dishes were tasty. Some were average. The sushi was really average. I'd recommend a few other places before here. katsu-ya is better. And about 1/5 the cost. Unless you have a corporate card and are here for some kind of business meal. I think there's better these days. read more

Asanebo is an intimate sushi spot that has been around for quite awhile in the studio city area. There is a very good reason why. Probably one of the best sushi experiences that I've had in LA. My wife was mind blown with the quality and the service we received from the server and especially our sushi chef when we sat at the sushi bar. We got the omakase which was a pretty good price and everything was amazing. The texture and the flavor were on point for every piece of fish. Even the several different types of miso soup were fantastic. This is a place that without a doubt, we will be back. read more

Loved the delicious sushi here. Got the omakase. Awesome. Staff are just great all around!

Ummm... how come I haven't been here earlier?? I've actually always wanted to check this spot out, but I never go to Studio City, but boy is this sushi worth the trip! I came here because I wanted a quiet bday dinner for 2, and it was just kinda perfect. I was scared of not getting night of reservations, but I figured, on a Tuesday night, how busy could they be? I was able to secure resis at 6pm. Located unsuspectingly inside a strip mall, Asanebo has a tiny sushi bar to the left, and little sectioned off tables of 2-4 to the right. I felt like I was packed in a small restaurant in Japan. We decided on the sushi Omakase for $95 each, which came with 2 appetizers, miso soup, 12 pcs. Sushi, and a dessert. I think this is a very reasonable price for the amount and quality of the food. I will definitely come back to try the other Omakase option! read more

Absolutely horrible service. Took my mother there for her 74th birthday. They told us they needed the table back by 8pm from our 630pm reservation. But from the SECOND we arrived they were rushing us. Basically throwing food on the table, snatching plates from under us. By 730 they were giving us looks constantly leave. We were out by 740! 20min before they even said they needed the table. Food was okay (NOT Michelin worthy at all) but $400 to be rushed to eat in 40min and way ahead of the timeframe they stated was totally unprofessional and ruined a special event. Won't go back! read more

Had a lovely dinner at Asanebo! We had an amazing server, Meme, who went above and beyond and provided EXCEPTIONAL service. The fish was so fresh and just melts in your mouth, everything was great quality. They even make their sesame ice cream in house.. I will be back. read more

Honest did not like this place attt all. Let me tell you what we got. Two miso soups (which was fine you can't mess up miso soup) 3 pieces of nigiri including red snapper, golden eye, and blue fin tuna 2 hand rolls And spicy tuna on krispy rice. I took one bite of each of these things and spit it out. Fish did not taste fresh. The spicy tuna was like orange probably old. Thinking about it makes me nauseas. I don't know how this is a celebrity hot spot. And that order cost us 180$. And you have to valet so basically spent like 220 that night for nothing. read more

So in love with this place!! We've been here a few times already-- I always forget to check in because I'm so happy to eat here but that's just how exciting the food is. Ordered chawanmushi with uni, o-toro negitoro gunka style (had to write it down so we could remember it next time lol) scallopand spinach salad, misoyaki butterfish, hamachi sushi, and filet steak. My taste buds were cheering. I know I wrote a review before, but did I mention that Asanebo is better than some of the places we ate when we went to Tokyo? I probably did, but here's me saying it again. This place is SUGOI ne! Ho'ono in Hawaiian-- Or in Hawaii pidgin english terms, broke da mout' This is the BEST Japanese cuisine in all of Southern California. And you can fight me on that. read more

Everything was amazing! Excellent service, amazing food, and busy but chill ambience. Their recommendations were all mouth watering.

Fantastic hidden gem ! Amazing chefs. Small intimate atmosphere, very delicious fresh fish & good vibes.

A long-established landmark for quality Japanese cuisine in SFV I finally had the opportunity to drop in recently. Though smaller than I had imagined, the place was packed and many diners seemed to be regulars, and it reflects how the owner Mr. Tetsuya Nakao has won the hearts of many who seek a fine dining experience quite comparable to what is available in Japan. The restaurant does not engage in ritzy art deco or other 'attractions' many high-ranked restaurants offer - it's the quality and presentation of the dishes that will enchant you. We opted for the omakase and given the weak yen these days, this is a wonderful treat. A solid 4.5 stars. read more

Hands down the best sushi/sashimi Ive ever had and I'm a daily sushi eater. The device is impeccable and sincere. If there is any sushi restaurant I would ever recommend it would be this one. read more

This restaurant is very pretty and busy. They apparently pay attention to service as they make you feel attended. We were immediately seated and received the menus. The server was very knowledgeable and attentive. The menu had the usual items and more. For example I really like ají mackerel sashimi and the bone. Unfortunately, the sashimi pieces were very thin and the whole dish felt skimpy. A person, who orders this dish is not looking at the price but the pleasure of eating it, so their palate should be satisfied. Monkfish liver was nice and buttery. They had a very nice variety of hot saki. Overall a good restaurant. read more

Made a reservation as soon as they opened at 5pm for 8pm. Took about 10 mins for our table to be ready. Place is small but popular as it was packed -- bad economy my ass lol! Service was fast and friendly! Ordered pear bites x2, lettuce cups x2, 8 pieces of sushi, 3 cut rolls, hot tea x2, miso mushroom soup x2, fruit, two scoops of black sesame ice cream -- AMAZING!!! Strawberry crepe -- amazing!! The bill was $198 w/ a 4% service fee. Parking lot is tight basically need to valet or find a meter -- which I did. Sushi tends to get pricey and I expected a big bill but the prices really aren't bad here. Of course there are items that are quite expensive but you can enjoy yourself here for less than a $100 per person. We definitely ordered too much food lol. Great lil spot :) read more

amazing food ! love the bar. simplicity wins!! service is great everyone is so kind, well be back for sure

Amazing sushi quality. Everything tastes fresh and delicious. There's explosion of flavors in every dish we have tried. The service is also amazing which is very important for a sushi restaurant. We were seated at the bar which i liked the best because we could watch the chefs prepare the food and interact with them. Overall highly recommend. read more

I've been to 40+ sushi spots in LA and SFV and this definitely falls in the top 3 for sure. Super fresh, large variety of fresh caught fish. My favorite things were the Spicy Salmon hand roll and wild caught albacore sashimi/sushi. Service is top notch with quick servers that keep checking up on you and the chefs are super nice! Ambiance is lowkey and not too bright. Nothing too fancy looking, don't need to over dress. read more

Upscale sushi in a small strip mall. Serene setting with somewhat private, small cubicles for dining. Excellent, attentive service by polite, reserved staff. All the appetizers, rolls and sashimi were fresh and delicious with great presentation. A bit pricier and fancier than your average sushi place. read more

One of my absolute favorite sushi spots. Yes it's pricy, there is zero ambiance but the food is to die for. The parking situation is rough (valet with a tiny lot and a lot going on, makes me extremely nervous). Everyone needs to experience this restaurant at least once in their life. read more

Everything was awesome until the check arrived. Servers were attentive, friendly and fast. Food was out of this world. The place was small and crowded. Wish I had a thousand dollars to eat there. read more

Asanebo is one of my favorite sushi restaurants in LA. This is not a performative mid sushi place hyped up like nobu or sugar fish. Here you get Japan level quality in everything you order. EVEN THE TAKEOUT IS AMAZING- which says a lot cause most places can't say that. My parents have been coming here for over 20 years and now I've been constantly going. That should show the level of quality of the fish. It is expensive but you're paying for QUALITY over quantity (and don't worry it is filling) the restaurant is nice and simplistic and traditionally Japanese. If ur willing to spend a little money this place should definitely be on ur list read more

The best rolls are the most delicious All the employees here are very good, attentive, Anyway, everything is cool here, I've never seen such a service read more

While the food itself is very good, there is a grave issue with this restaurant. The service lacks any sense of respect for the diner, and any respect for the aspect of lingering and being allowed to savor the savories. We were a party of 5, seated at a table, not the bar. The Omikase (essentially a prix fixe menu, if you think about it) had delicious food. But the presentation of the dishes was perfunctory, rushed, and did not give the diners (us) any real time to understand each piece. In other places where you experience the omikase, the chef will prepare and explain to you what you are eating, and why. This was not the experience here. Our server rushed through what the various pieces were, and then warned us not to use soy sauce. This is not what one pays $140 (to start, without drinks). In a great sense we all felt cheated. And that is not a feeling to leave on the tongue. Any sushi restaurant in L.A. could have done better, at half the price. Shame on the disrespect I felt from their polite but insistently rushing service. read more

This place has been on our list to try for quite some time now yesterday we decided to stop by for an early reservation. The staff was very kind and welcoming. Upon arrival. The sushi was wonderful although I will say the prices were far behind what they needed to be for the quality. The restaurant itself was very cozy and clean. if you're going to go here, I would say go for the Omakase instead of ordering from the menu itself. read more
