So we came in for one night stay and happen to be at a hotel down the street. We gave this restaurant a chance due to a recommendation at the hotel. The service was great, the ambiance was great, but the fish.....the fish was amazing. We eat sushi twice a week minimum, and we were very impressed with the quality of fish. Plus they have a couple items that most sushi restaurants don't and they were fantastic items. We didn't have anything from the kitchen, all we had was sushi, and I can't wait for an excuse to come back to Beverly Hills. read more

DELIVERY Ordered for delivery so this may not represent the quality dining in. SERVICE From the careful and individual packaging to the adorable note they included, service was awesome besides the delivery time. It took 1.5 hours to deliver from the time ordered. FOOD We tried several items and although the sashimi was fresh, the cost was way too pricey especially for the rolls that were mediocre. SPICY SALMON HANDROLL- delicious with a slight kick! Although the seaweed was a bit soggy after the long delivery time. 4/5 SALMON AVO - aesthetically pleasing but lacked flavor 2/5 SALMON TRUFFLE - the truffle sea butter sauce was real heavy for me, but the fish was fresh and delicious. 3/5 UNI SCALLOP - uni was not fishy at all and the scallop was hearty. 5/5 DOUBLE T TRUFFLE TORO - the truffle just melts in your mouth! Toro was slightly on the tougher side. 3/5 EMMA - seared fatty tuna toro, yummy ! 5/5 HYE - yellowtail belly hamachi was refreshing and perfectly tender 5/5 SALMON BELLY - fresh! Nothing special. 4/5 MR CRAB - made with langostino and mayo, crispy shrimp tempura, and some kind of oyster sauce. Could be better and not worth it for the cost. 2/5 TUNA CITRUS - very pretty to look at, but lacked flavor. Not much tuna either. 2/5 OVERALL Would come back to dine in person, but wouldn't go for any of their pressed rolls or individual. Their sashimi is fresh, but definitely overpriced. read more

We were originally going to go to SugarFish but their menu is a bit limited and we decided to take a chance and try something new. This restaurant is an absolute gem! The quality of sushi here was excellent! So fresh and tasty. Their menu is very creative and the flavors were well thought out. Compliments to the chef! My best friend is quite the sushi snob which has rubbed off on me over the years as well, and we have not had the best luck the last few times she has been in town. Seabutter surpassed our expectations and was such a much needed treat! Amazing flavors and the service was great, too! Gotta give a shout out to our charming server, Astro ! He really added to our whole experience and was so wonderful. We went with a few of his suggestions and every single bite we had.. was just... delectable. 10 outta 10, melt in your mouth! Highly recommend! Thank you to the great team that worked yesterday read more

We enjoyed this dinner so much. We had reservations, showed up early, they seated us anyway. In fact, they were kind enough to re-seat us at the bar when I realized I wanted to watch the sushi chef do their work. That was a nice touch to enjoy the quiet night ambiance. The food came out lightning fast and was delicious! Some of the flavors are so unique, and the cuts of fish are so tender and fresh. Honestly, even a standard rainbow roll was taken to another level of flavor. I really enjoyed this restaurant and really want to come back. read more

Shocked and amazed at how good this sushi was. I was staying nearby on a recent trip but didn't have a car. I was craving sushi, this was about an 11 minute walk from my hotel. When I arrived I was honestly a little worried - I was the only person in the place despite it being lunch time. But given that this was my only option in walking distance, I was committed. The spot itself is no-frills and laid back, but the sushi prices are definitely on the higher end, which I would be mad about if the sushi wasn't so good. I went with the Hon Maguro, plus a toro hand roll and miso soup. The miso soup was good, but the tuna on this flight and hand roll were the real stars. So fresh, so delicious, a really nice mix of raw and torched sushi on this platter. I would come back again if I were ever in the area. read more

They have such good sushi rolls here, my favorites were the Mr. Crab, it has fried shrimp tempura, talked with fresh crab and lobster, and the sauce that drizzled is kind of a toasted sweet sauce. I also really liked the pressed toro roll, the truffle flavor is super prevalent, and it is so fresh. We also tried the 911 roll and the crispy albacore, both were really great as well! Service is really quick and friendly, there is also a small parking lot in the back as well, which is a plus for that area! read more

I ordered take out - crispy albacore roll and yellowtail scallion cut roll. Fish is fresh and the albacore roll with the crispy onions and sauce was amazing! My go to is always a yellowtail cut roll because not many places have good quality yellowtail. However, it's hard to review the overall quality when the cut roll was 95% rice which was disappointing... read more

This is quite literally the only non-Michelin restaurant, let alone sushi restaurant, I have EVER been to that charges you extra per dish BECAUSE YOU HAVE A GLUTEN ALLERGY. Mind you, half of what I ordered omitting sauces and toppings, yet they CHARGED ME $3-4 PER DISH THEY "ALTERED." I couldn't believe the lack of price transparency either. The waiter gave me no heads up and when it came to the bill and I saw I was charged nearly $20 extra simply for taking my rolls raw I was astonished. When I asked him about it and asked him why he didn't say anything, he pointed to a pt 5 font disclaimer line at the bottom of the menu that I had to wince at to actually read... and because of that little line, they get away with it. Not to mention the back of the house where I was sat down stinks of cleaning products and has both times I've been here (first time I wasn't ordering rolls, so didn't need anything GF). I will never come back here strictly because of the lack of price transparency. And just for a quick example, their crispy rice tuna appetizer comes only on 2 pieces, usually for $8.50. They up charged me 30% (yes another $3)... meanwhile my family who isn't GF was ordering all of their rolls this way too so that we could share not knowing that was gonna be added to the bill. A 30% up charge? DO BETTER. read more

Perhaps it was just an off night at Seabutter, but the place was empty the night before we dined there, and the quality of the sushi wasn't what we expected given the good reviews. In addition, the service was slow and server seemed not to care about her job. The sushi just didn't have much flavor, some dishes were overwhelmed by mayo and sauces, and the tempura was heavy and oily. Given the number of great sushi spots in the area, I would likely choose somewhere else next time I go out for sushi. read more

Our server was so attentive and friendly - so sad we didn't catch his name! We got the miso soup, which was one of the best miso soups I've ever had. We also got the scallop and spicy tuna crispy rice appetizers, and a negi-toro hand roll. The hand roll had a strong sesame oil flavor. For rolls, we got the crispy albacore, salmon supreme, and rainbow roll. The crispy albacore was the best roll in my opinion, and the fried onions were so yummy. My bf liked the rainbow roll the best - the crab flavor really comes out since they use real crab. Overall it was a great experience and we'll be back! read more

When I've gone to pick up my meal, the hostesses have always been so friendly and I love their little notes on the to go bags.

Had lunch with my mom and two sons on Saturday after a shopping trip nearby. It's a small place compared to other locations. We were seated right away since it wasn't busy. Welcoming and friendly staff. Our waitress was helpful and attentive. We ordered edamame and seaweed salad and liked both. The rolls were delicious as well. I liked how they didn't have too much rice in them, you could actually taste the fish. 911 roll was our most favorite but the rest were pretty good as well. We really enjoyed our lunch here. Clean and nice location. Great customer service. Great food. read more

We love Seabutter and recommend this delicious sushi bar to all of our friends and family including my Yelpers! They treat their customers like family and everyone is so warm and welcoming! We love the kimedai especially lightly seared. I also love the salmon truffle sushi and the yellowtail sushi. It's excellent from the service to the sushi read more

Solid sushi place! Came here on a Friday for dinner around 5:30pm and it was pretty quiet. There's free parking behind the building. Staff were very attentive and friendly. We ordered the 911, crispy albacore and Mr crab rolls. All 3 rolls were amazing. The 911 was very fresh, the crispy albacore is great if you like crispy onion and the Mr Crab Roll is a must order! read more

The food quality here is amazing with extremely fresh fish. The service was also good, they appear very busy around dinner time. Personally I enjoyed the salmon truffle the most it literally melts in your mouth. This was my first time having pressed sushi I find the concept very fun. I do think rolls are better read more

This is a delicious hidden gem off Doheny and Olympic, super easy to miss if you're not looking for it! The place is never crowded, so we thought we'd give it a go one Saturday evening. Seabutter did not disappoint! I ordered a Miso Soup, House Spring Salad, and an assortment of hand rolls. My favorite was the baked scallop which was wrapped in a rice paper, the texture is tender and rich in creaminess. I also ordered the yellowtail scallion and blue crab hand rolls, which were really tasty too! Lastly, I ordered the Rainbow Roll for all of the sashimi and the Teriyaki Chicken for a bento box feel. So good! The chicken was flavorful and with tons of veggies and rice. Great for family-style sharing! read more

We ordered takeout from seabutter & it exceeded expectations.

Everything was packaged so neatly & the crew even sent a super cute note along with our order! read more

Fabulous sushi! The new head chef Ron is a master, and it was so fun to take a seat at the sushi bar and listen to his recommendations. His presentation of the dishes is perfect and each one of the daily specials I tried were mouth watering, delicious and so flavorful. Make sure to eat slowly as everything is a taste treat. Standouts were the fresh toro, snapper, uni with scallop and caviar, and the fresh salmon. Each one had its own special touch and flavor, like a dash of fresh ginger or garlic, all on the most delicious warm sushi rice. They have lots of comfortable seating in the back of the restaurant. I just love the bar because you can watch the artistry of the sushi chef in action. My favorite classics on the menu are the delectable blue crab roll and their phenomenal pressed sushi. Try the pressed toro sushi with lemon. Incredible. The server was so nice and courteous. I love the relaxed neighborhood Beverly Hills vibe here. Easy free parking in back in the courtyard. You can enter parking directly on Doheny (take a right heading south just before Olympic) or via Olympic Blvd just past Doheny heading west and take a quick right into the Olympic Square parking lot. read more

Tried the Dine LA menu here which was $65 per person, which is a little steep for lunch but cheaper than the regular price on the menu of $95. It came with edamame, miso soup, sashimi, nigiri, pressed sushi, and a hand roll. It was a really good sampling of their menu and glad I tried it for my first time here. Everything was tasty though the ones with truffle were too strong for me. All the fish was fresh and they even gave us some green tea ice cream at the end. Would definitely come here again. read more

Great affordable sushi in West Hollywood area. It's not bougie which is great and I can tell they do a lot of takeout orders. We ordered so many items that we needed to do takeaway after for the leftovers. - spicy tuna and salmon crispy rice were really big but that meant we had a hard time to pick up w chopsticks. And we're Asian. - soft shell crab was soooo good - scallop sushi and HYE were heavenly - tuna shishito roll was not bad. 4/5. I like shishito peppers but I think they could've added more ponzu to balance. - crispy albacore roll also could've had more ponzu - hamachi jalapeño again could've used more ponzu as it tasted more gamey. Parking was easy on a Sunday because there's free street parking after 6pm (across the street) and always available. Not including the green meters. Overall I may come back if I'm in the area and need a quick sushi run. read more

I got a delivery from here, so of course it's not as amazing as in person... but it was still SO GOOD and I will be ordering again. First, I got the Spicy Tuna Rice. It comes with 2 so I got 2 orders. 10/10 for taste! The sauces come on the side with delivery and they were the perfect amount. I'm writing this wishing I still had more left. Also, it was messy to eat and pretty big bites so keep that in mind :) Second, I got the miso soup. It comes in a soup container with extra plastic wrap for reinforcing it during delivery. I ate it second and it was still very warm and also a 10/10! The perfect amount of flavors blended together. It does come with tofu, which I don't like/eat, so I just took those few pieces out (it was easy to do) and ate the rest as usual. Lastly, I got the Spicy Salmon roll. It came kinda oily in the package, but I never expect delivery to have a beautiful presentation. I do wish it came with soy sauce or something, but I had a little sauce leftover from the Spicy Tuna Rice that I used. The whole order did come with ginger and wasabi, but no soy sauce. I didn't see a place to request it on UberEats, but now I know to look for next time. Overall, amazing taste and I will be ordering again. They also left the sweetest note on the delivery bag! Love the care and customer service :) read more

Nothing but good things to say about Seabutter! There is plenty of table and bar seating inside so the wait is never too long, even during peak meal times. The menu is extensive, so it's easy to find something for everyone in your party. They have some pretty unique rolls/pressed sushi that I haven't seen anywhere else! I usually get the Sizzling Black Cod, Sunset Roll, Salmon Supreme, and Salmon Medley (Salmon, King Salmon, Truffle Salmon). The fish is always fresh and the portions and presentation are consistent. Pro tip: Sign up for their email list for monthly 10% off coupons. read more

Location 4: In the semi-residential, laid-back area of Beverly Hills, CA on Olympic Blvd. Street parking is usually no problem. There are many free parking lots around also according to the business, but I have not used them. Venue 3.5: Nicely decorated medium to small sized venue. Large sushi bar area. Indoor tables and outdoor (literally on the sidewalk) seating. They take reservations, so you will not have to wait long during busy times. Service 3.5: Polite, friendly and helpful but not frequent. Our server was attentive up until the food came but noticeably slowed down afterwards. Our order was taken quickly, and the food came quickly as well. Food 2.5: Nice, large assortment of small Japanese plates, sushi and rolls. Plating and presentations are very nice, and the menu is unique and creative. Pricing is a little above the norm, However, I have been going to Seabutter for a few years now and I am sad to report that the quality of fish is not what it used to be. Everything we ordered this time around not only tasted a little fishy and stale (and this was on a Saturday night) but at the same time lacked flavor and impact. Drinks 3: Smaller assortment of beer, sake, wine, soft drinks and tea. Pricing is a little above the norm. The last word 3: It used to be a treat for me to go there, but sadly not one of my top choices any longer! read more

We had a good sushi lunch at Seabutter in Westlake Village. The Yellowtail Collar was cooked perfectly. For sushi, we tried the Lux Medley, Marilyn Monroll, Rainbow Roll, Tuna Explosion, and Amberjack (Kanpachi) nigiri -- everything tasted very fresh and was beautifully presented. Service wasn't the best but it was pretty busy during lunchtime. read more

Food is My favorite is the HYE. This is my 2nd time trying Seabutter. First one was in Westlake Village, and then this one. I think this one is better. Not really sure why but my experience here was really good. We sat at the bar and watched the sushi chefs do their thing. Seeing them prep their ingredients by hand (squeezing their lemons and placing the juice in a small bottle for their use later, chopping the peppers with precision), it was all just very impressive! Everyone was also very nice. The servers were attentive and took their time to explain what we got. A little negative experience though was when a group of people came in and one of the staff greeted them loudly from our end of our booth and told the rest of the chefs and servers "can we pretend we're happy to see them?" I think that was cringe and i believe he's also the manager. Sooooo, I'm still gonna give the 5 stars though. Since my own personal experience was pretty good. read more

Gotta be honest, don't love the location but the sushi is exceptional! It really is melt in your mouth buttery.

Once again... amazing as always. I come to Seabutter at least once a week, and it's genuinely the best sushi I've ever had. The quality is always consistent, the fish is incredibly fresh, and everything on the menu is just so good. Huge shoutout to Astreaux cause he's the best. Every time I come in, he makes sure we have an amazing experience. He's super friendly, attentive, and you can genuinely tell he wants everyone to have a great time at the restaurant. Hands down my favorite sushi spot always. Highly recommend read more

I'm sad to write this review! I have ordered from here before and had no issue, but for anyone else who is ordering delivery be aware you may not get your food. Around 6:00 p.m., we placed an order for scheduled delivery targeting around 7:45 p.m. When our delivery driver arrived to the restaurant near that time, the restaurant told him to come back in a half hour. This was disappointing but things happen. While he was waiting, our ETA for delivery was adjusted by the restaurant to 9 p.m. Our delivery driver returned at the time they asked, and the restaurant let him know that 1) more than an hour after the scheduled delivery time and after the order was placed they had not begun to make the food and 2) they would not begin our order for another half hour. This would have meant a delivery at about 9:30 p.m. At this point, I called the restaurant to clarify the issue. The hostess confirmed everything the delivery driver said, explained that they hadn't planned enough lead time for their delivery orders, and asked us to cancel the order, which we of course did as we were already hours delayed for dinner and it honestly seemed unlikely we would get the food in the end based on the orders ahead of us. It was clearly a busy night for this restaurant but I haven't ever had a restaurant be so unable to navigate order volume that they delay your order hours and eventually request that you cancel it. Overall, something to be aware of if you want delivery tonight! read more

Came in hungry. Left emotionally attached to the food. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and dangerously easy to over-order. Service was smooth, ambience was chill, and my only regret is not ordering more. I'll be thinking about this meal for a while. read more

I used to tell people this place was an absolute gem. Never again. Ordered 12 hand-rolls. Every single one was made with seaweed the texture of rubber. Biting into them--or trying to, rather, with no success--was like trying to wrestle with a piece of overcooked steak, but worse. Had to toss an entire order because it was not possible to eat the hand rolls, without trying to swallow them like a pelican in one fell swoop at risk of choking. And now I am being told no refund will be offered. read more

He recommended items and even if they weren't on the menu, he made a way to make the items we were craving.

We had a decent dinner at Seabutter! I think there menu options are creative and unusual. We liked the hamachi jalapeno (sashimi style) the seared salmon truffle (sushi style) was really good, and the pressed sushi toro was pretty good. We also got something with crab that I did not like at all. So it was a bit hit or miss. I would definitely go back to get the seared salmon truffle and try some other things, figuring out which were my favorites and then always getting those. read more
