    Fluke Sashimi
    Pooja G.

    Lovely lunch even though it's on the more pricey side. The service was pleasant and the chef did an amazing job with the plating.

    This isn't sashimi grade fish- it's something you buy off of Costco butchered into pieces by untrained hands. Tuna is pink without any flavor other than fishiness. Ikura is just not edible- mushy, leaky, funky odor. $78 sashimi assortment 'deluxe'. Is this for real or is this one of those scam uber establishments? I called them, noone answered. Their website is offline. I tried a few pieces for the money spent but ended up throwing away everything. Don't be me.

    The venue has some tall bar tables and 1 2-person dining table. We dined in during lunch and tried their fixed lunch menu for $25. Included in the meal is a miso soup, salad, avocado or cucumber roll, and a tuna or salmon rice bowl. The salmon was fresh and the bowl had a nice sweet warm rice topped with some dried seaweed, which was delicious. Unfortunately, I did not think the price was worth the food since the rolls did not include any fish and did not have anything to it! We were the only patrons so the service was fine. Would not recommend the establishment for any dates since it feels super small space.T

    I've tried sushi from a handful of places but the ones we had last night from Sasabune express was out of this world! Especially impressed by their takeout packaging. The sushi along with all the condiments were intact We got the Vegetable Roll with spicy sriracha sauce (which was so good!) and Shrimp and avo roll. Recommend for Sushi cravings!

    Blue Crab Roll
    Stephanie C.

    Ordered delivery of choice C, which basically came with a bowl of sushi rice, 2 kinds of fish (I got tuna and salmon) and a roll (I got the blue crab). Everything was delicious and high quality - there just wasn't very much fish and a lot of rice. For the quality of the food, I can understand the higher price tag, but I was left just slightly unsatisfied and wishing there had been a bit more food to go with all the rice. All in all though, I'm happy to have found a high quality sushi place that is in the $30-50 price range. Next time I'll go for the slightly more expensive but more bountiful choices A or B!

    Such wonderful sushi! Recommend the miso soup - warm with just the right amount of lovely soup to prepare myself for the sushi! The salmon,tuna and crab meat - so fresh with so much lovely grease that brings enjoyment Love this place

    A wall in the hole with fresh sushi and warm rice. I went there for lunch and really enjoyed the sushi. The price may seem higher than other similar sushi establishments on 51st street, but it includes tip already. That's a relief. The only thing I found disappointing is that their uni is from Maine instead of Japan. Uni from Japan has a better and smooth taste.

    I loved this authentic Japanese sushi spot on a quiet street. The rice to sashimi ratio was a bit off - too much rice - for the price. However the rice was made well and slightly warm as I like it and the sashimi was very high quality. I truly enjoyed the Donburi combo with blue crab and salmon for dinner, but I'm still slightly hungry. You come here for the sushi / sashimi ... don't expect a large repertoire of appetizers. This quality of fish here is equal to what I have had in Japan. In summary, the food is tasty and service was great. I highly recommend this place. 5/5!

    Lots of tuna in these bad boys
    Jessica C.

    Went here with my brother by his suggestion. Said it was crazy good sushi. The place itself was very hole in the wall, with soft music playing, and it was a nice refuge from the cold outside. The waiter was very polite, bowing to us and welcoming us, and we took our sushi to go. This sushi is delicious. We got all tuna rolls (my brother loves tuna rolls) from the Party B option. It came with miso soup. Each roll is very high quality fish, and the rice doesn't try to take center stage - this place is all about the fish. I was skeptical of this place based on the reviews, but they were not my experience at all. Also, I find rating a place poorly on its soy sauce (which is fine, by the way) is much like rating a place poorly on its ketchup. Really strange.

    blue crab stuffed squid
    Jenny S.

    I always pass by this place on my way home and it looked like a hole in the wall. I finally stepped in after work since I was craving some fresh sushi. I got the sashimi assortment, blue crab stuffed squid (special), and a bonito nigiri. I really enjoyed the sashimi and it tasted so fresh and had a melt in your mouth texture. The blue crab stuffed squid is a dish I would go back for. I'm a big crab fan and it tasted great with the squid which was cooked perfectly. The last thing I'm going to rave about is the bowl of rice I got with the sashimi. It was soft and not very vinegary like most sushi places. That made it a nice complement to the fresh sushi because too much vinegar really overpower the sushi taste. Now I have a convenient and quiet sushi spot to go!

    Don buri with spicy salmon and eel. Already consumed the side salad that came with it.

The atmosphere here was a bit more lively and crowded compared to the more relaxed vibe of the UWS spot. I enjoyed my meal even more this time around. I started with the beet salad, which was delicious and offered great value given the generous portion size. it featured sliced beets, arugula, goat cheese, and walnuts. I also had my eye on the hijiki soybean salad--which is a bit smaller and reportedly homemade--so I may try that next time, along with the warm mushroom salad which looked very tasty. The edamame was standard but served as a nice starter. For my main rolls, I chose the salmon avocado and the yellowtail scallion. Both were very fresh and definitely worth ordering again. The salmon avocado roll had a nice touch of sesame seeds on the rice, while the yellowtail scallion was prepared with the seaweed on the outside. My boyfriend's sushi entree looked excellent, so I am considering that or the sushi-sashimi combo for my next visit. The entrees provide a substantial amount of food, and I especially appreciate that they allow you to choose which roll comes with your meal.

One of my neighborhood favorites, I come here so often just for the combination of service, quality, and taste. My servers are usually Denise and Toshi and they are always on top of their game. I love it here! Will definitely keep coming back, just for their (excellent) service alone. Highly recommend.

They share a takeout menu and it's super easy to order--text what you want to the phone number on the website and pickup in ~20 minutes :). You pay on a handheld and they don't ask for tip for takeout. I love this process and truly wish more sushi restaurants in LA adopt the takeout box. The only one I know of is hefty but also $200 each lol, making Sanyuu's $69 omakase and $78 Everything don, not to mention the $30 giant salmon nigiri set, A STEAL! I enjoyed most of the pieces but I will say I don't like their amaebi or uni at all. I'm not sure what kind of uni is used here but it's the type with a very strong mineral flavor & aftertaste that I don't find enjoyable. We're spoiled by easy access to live spot prawns everywhere and fresh SB uni. Despite this, I wouldn't hesitate to come back if I lived in the city.

The slices aren't thin, delicate, and melt-in-your-mouth as one usually gets in a sit down; they are extra thick, and I had to really bite down on some of the pieces. The rice was nicely seasoned and was cooked well + portions are also big to match those thiccccc salmon slices. To be honest, I was getting a little nauseated after 5 pieces, haha~ They were definitely delicious but I'd probably just eat 3 or 4 pieces and share with a friend! It was easy to text the number on the website and coordinate a pickup time, and the staff was friendly when I arrived. The restaurant is a little hard to find as the windows are blinded and the sign is a piece of paper on the door.
