We've dined here once but we've order to-go here a couple of times. The fish is fresh and the flavors are delicious. They have so many options and I really can't complain about anything I've had here. The service is great and they are all about making you happy. read more

I really like their lunch specials! Plenty of options that are not teriyaki chicken, spicy tuna or California rolls. They have sashimi salad, rolls, handrolls, yellowtail collar and sushi combos. Unbeatable lunch special where you have plenty of enticing options! However, in terms of quality of the fish, sadly it's average... not five star worthy. I would rather pay a little more and get quality sushi. read more

Great service and fresh food. I have gotten take out and dined in here and they never disappoint!

Let me eat my previous words, this is now our go to sushi spot. Every other Friday we order and I can't imagine ordering from anywhere else. The fish is consistently fresh, the packaging is so beautiful and they have very unique rolls and flavors. They add to the sushi. Great neighborhood spot. read more

I had this placed book marked for a while and I was finally able to try it yesterday. My husband and I both had the 12 piece Omakase and we added uni at the end. The uni was from Mexico which we had not tried before, we are used to Japanese uni or uni from Santa Barbara. The uni was not fresh and the rest of the fish was just okay. I most likely won't eat here again, but I couldn't give it anything lower than 4 stars since the service was really friendly and attentive. read more

Okay food, bad service. I called for a pick-up order and they told me to come in after an hour (fine). After arriving they asked me to wait another 20 minutes. After the 20 minutes were over, I had to wait another 30 minutes for them to finish. This is completely unethical and irresponsible. Waiting nearly two hours for a sushi order is unacceptable. If they could not fulfill my order on time, they should have never taken it in the first place. I would have left without the food but they took my credit card over the phone before picking it up. It seems like enough customers had similar miserable experiences like me, so now Seabutter is taking payment upfront. They gave me free Sake to say they were sorry, but it was packaged in a disposable miso bowl (gross). I immediately threw it away. I won't be returning here. This place isn't anything special, and in a city of sushi spots bending over backwards for their customers, I will gladly go somewhere else. read more

Terrible customer service. If you value your time, don't come here. We got a server 15 min after sitting down... she came and left. 15 min later someone else came and claimed they were our new server... But there was never an exchange or introduction. And then she left too... And then another server came and said now that SHE is the server... And we waited for a total of an hour, didn't get any food or any notice on the status of our order. read more

Small place doesn't look like much from the decor and the chairs very simplistic, service was adequate had some bumps but apart from that the food itself was the winner. Great quality of fish and ingredients. Crispy rice very delicious, rice as it should...crispy and tasty spicy tuna. Rolls were delicious....the star of the show was the fish, amazing kanpachi and bluefin tuna and of course my favorite of the night....Japanese uni great combination of sweet, salty and acidic. Im definitely coming back read more

Fresh sushi, it's extremely important for sushi places to serve fresh fish. A little expensive, but totally worth it. The service is excellent, can remember my servers name, she was great. Wonderful experience! read more

Do not. The smell hits you once you open the to go containers. The food was not fresh and sliced too thin. This was the first and last visit. Maybe an off night, but there are no off nights in sushi... No boo. I should've read the previous reviews and so should you. read more

Try going to Google Maps and searching for "sushi". You'll be amazed how many there are of them in Los Angeles. The sushi game is very strong here. It's gotten so big that there is probably at least a sushi joint on every block. Yes, yes Starbucks, Chipotle and sushi. And though the are a ton of them to go to I have literally ran out of any to pick from and stopped going to Sushi restaurants just because I got bored of them. Whethever you go to a simple Sushi stop or a top dollar gourmet place the menu seems like they keep copying one from another. Same couple different versions of California, eel and rainbow rolls. When it comes to eating sushi lately I'd rather go to Whole Foods, pick up a little box to go and enjoy it just as much as I would at a top restaurant. Here Comes SeaButter though! The atmosphere here is completely different. It seems like the chef himself has the same mindset of being bored from regular sushi rolls. The restaurant always has something unique to try. You can literally ask waiters, owners or the chef himself for something new to taste and they will always have a unique new idea in mind. A sushi restaurant that actually screams with passion for the craft. I know very little about sushi making myself but always trust the staff to surprise me with new, tasty treats. A couple of visits so far and no disappointments. Will be back again and highly recommend you to try as well. read more

One of my favorite sea food restaurants. I think their fish is fresh and their dishes are simply seasoned and taste great. I had the truffle dishes, a hot cooked fish dish, the crispy tuna rice, and many other dishes that were all good. read more

The worst experience ever you order over the phone they tell you 45 minutes when you get there they tell you it's gonna take another hour for your pick up order. Very unprofessional service just ruin the evening for us. read more

This meal is one of the best sushi meals I've had. Yukino was very sweet. The scallop is one of the best I've had, the kanpachi yuzu was seriously delicious and the toro melted in my mouth. The one thing I really disliked was the oyster shooter but everything else was 100000%. Love it! read more

If you're looking for high quality sushi, this is your place. The fish quality here is on par with many of the top sushi restaurants in LA. I'd much rather eat here rather than Matsuhisa. It also has a pretty casual atmosphere with is nice when going to for sushi with friends. I really enjoyed going here, the only reason it doesn't get 5 stars was because it's a little overpriced. But if money isn't an issue for you then I suggest giving this restaurant a try. read more

This was a rewarding find. Since my usual go-to sushi spot moved to the valley I had a very hard time replacing it. Yesterday my son and I decided to try a neighborhood sushi spot Seabutter for our weekly Friday night dinner night. I was a very pleasant surprise. The staff was friendly and efficient. There was a nice clean ambiance and best of all the sushi and add ons were delicious. I will definitely go back and please to say we found our new neighborhood sushi spot worthy of our time and their time after a long week. I recommend this establishment and stand by my opinion of it. read more

Service was mediocre. We called in an order with a few questions and they were unable to answer them so they transferred to another person. They proceeded to hang up on us before we could even place the order on our first call. When we got there, they had forgotten one of our rolls. The food: great but expensive for the portion size. There's so many comparable spots in LA for a better price point or a bigger portion/higher quality for the same price. With so many options in LA, I'd skip this sushi spot. Rainbow pressed sushi - fun idea, but ultimately nothing too special and a bit rice heavy. Crispy rice with spicy albacore - delicious! Must order. 911 roll - get this! The sweet yuzu sauce was refreshing. The scallop and salmon sushi were fresh and fatty. Blue crab hand roll - solid. Comparable to sugarfish's. read more

Service is overall TERRIBLE. Have been several times and was giving them a chance to improve service since they are a newer restaurant. It has not improved - it has gotten worse. Waiters are rude and don't pay attention. Takeout orders are consistently missing items. When you try to call them to complain about the missing items, they don't answer the phone. The "chef" walks in and out of the kitchen in flip flop slides and exercise shorts with disgusting dirty feet. Not a great dining experience read more

Seabutter - Japanese Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Amazing food!! I've wanted to try this place and needed to do take out one night so I ordered the Baked Cod handroll, spicy tuna handroll, spicy yellowtail handroll, and sexy albacore sashimi. The spicy tuna is extra spicy which I love. Very fresh fish quality. The sexy albacore sashimi was heaven in my mouth...it was basically a riceless roll since it was spicy tuna wrapped with albacore, jalepeno and a delicious garlic ponzu sauce. Although it wasn't too busy when I went in for pickup and it is a chill atmosphere (that's why I couldn't give it a 5 star), the sushi is amazing! Either way I'm soooo happy this place came instead of crazy fish because I really wasn't a fan of that place. Can't wait to go back to try everything else!!! The menu seems very creative and I can tell I'm going to love everything else!! read more

Ordered from Uber Eats. The order was fantastic. The spicy tuna on crispy rice was fabulous, the yellowtail belly melted in my mouth. The salmon sushi was wonderful. So was the edamame and avocado on crispy rice. They sent a nice thank you note with the order. You can bet I will order from Seabutter .again. read more

SEABUTTER SAVED ME FROM DEPRESSION Going to Japan last year ruined sushi for me. For the past 4 months I've been dealing with this "sushi depression"... like for real. I continually failed to recreate those moments of blissful satisfaction I had experienced in Japan, until I made a visit to Seabutter. If you or a loved one has been suffering from similar symptoms of depression, contact Seabutter, they have the cure. read more

Had such an amazing experience with my roommate here. We called ahead of time to ask what the wait time was and I even mentioned how pleasant the host was to speak to. The entire staff is so nice and welcoming. About the food.. it was both of our first times at Seabutter and Angie helped us order. She was soo passionate about the menu and knew exactly what to recommend us. Each piece of sushi seemed to be bettter than the previous. It was a DELICIOUS meal and so unbelievably reasonably priced. We were so impressed with the ambiance, the staff and the delicious food. We're excited to come back and try other items read more

Average looking place but the food is PHENOMENAL!!!!! Service is very good too. Prices are good for the high quality of food you get. Definitely coming back! read more

We visited Seabutter last week. I'm sad to say it fell short of our expectations given our stellar first experience. The seafood was average. We dined on one spicy tuna handroll, a sushi roll, and a bottle of sake. The bill was nearly $80. I can and will pay for amazing sushi but this didn't meet the quality I expect for the price. The sushi chef was not as friendly and engaging as the owner, David. We took a star away because quality, and service should be on par with the price of the sushi. read more

I have eaten here preCovid, delivered many times during both shutdowns and now that we have outdoor dining again, came back to enjoy. And this awesome sushi joint has never missed a beat. The food is always fresh, the flavors to die for and now back at the restaurant, the vibe fun and unique. So happy this place is here and surviving. read more

Sadly, we didn't get to eat here. We arrived on Valentine's day for a 6:30 reservation. The hostess informed us that it would be a short wait because they were waiting on some tables to leave that had already paid. We waited, and waited. At 6:50, I went to the hostess again to ask how much longer it would be and she said she would check with the server. She then came out to inform us that it was still going to be a wait, she then said oh it's so windy out, or something like that basically to the point that we should go home. She asked us if we lived far (maybe for take out, I don't know). Anyway, we told her we drove 40 minutes to be there and then she said that she would check with the manager to see what they could do. She came back out, took a table and chairs from a 4-top that only had two people and put the table at the end of a row about 5 feet from the crosswalk. She called us over to the table without any kind of sanitizing; we had to ask to have it cleaned. Once we sat down, someone came over immediately to take our order. We let them know that we hadn't looked at the menu yet and they left. And then they never came back. We sat there for a good 15 minutes with no one ever returning. So we got up and left. I know the hostess was trying her best, but honestly the manager should have done something to fix the situation. read more

Absolutely amazing!!!!! I loved the service and the food was incredible. It was beautifully plated and the quality was on point. I loveeee their nigiri the most especially the aburi salmon. They also use truffle in an excellent way. The decor is nice and the music creates a chill ambiance. This is definitely going to be a new regular spot for me! The owner George was there and was super nice. I love the name seabutter because that's exactly what it feels like when you eat the sushi is rich in the BEST way possible. read more

Seabutter - Japanese Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Holy mackerel -- this sushi is unbelievable. From our first bite, we agreed that the name "Seabutter" is more than appropriate, as each bite melts away. Standout items were the Emma, the Hye, and the Wagyu handroll. The Tuna Citrus pressed roll (which we learned is the traditional style in Osaka!) and the Marilyn Monroll were also both delicious and unique rolls for when you want a roll but know better than to order a crunchy shrimp tempura. All of the fish was incredibly fresh, vibrant, and tender. My two most favorite were the Emma and the Hye, which are both torched nigiri that absolutely melt. In. Your. Mouth. Both pieces of sushi have rich, unique, but not overwhelming flavor combinations (think truffle and yuzu!). The service is warm, the staff knowledgeable, and the owner, Angie, can design a perfect order for you, whether you're a sushi noob or it's all you eat. The atmosphere is welcoming and fun, but you don't have to strain to hear your dining partner. Though tonight was our first time at this Beverly Hills sushi hotspot, it already felt like our own neighborhood spot. We're already fantasizing about our next visit! read more

I wouldn't call this your average Japanese sushi restaurant. Though the price is a little high, I thought everything I ordered was worth every bite. Now I know why they named this place Seabutter. Everything I ordered seemed to melt in my mouth. The ambiance was nice with the dimly lit lights, perfect for a dinner date or a small dinner with a group of friends. We started off with the uni shooters as an appetizers and the uni with the soy sauce concaution complimented each other well. That was something different I haven't tried before. Our second appetizer was the spicy salmon crispy rice. I liked the soft texture of the fish with the subtle crispiness of the pressed fried rice. On top, it was drizzled with eel sauce and spicy mayo sauce which gave it the right amount of flavoring. We ordered the Lux medley as an entree, which is 4 pieces of "special" nigiri the the chef chose: hye, emma, salmon truffle and uni scallop. We also ordered additional yellow-tail belly, scallop, fatty tuna and toro. Every piece was a work of art. Slightly different flavors and textures, but all sea butter-like. I loved it. I recommend trying the medley plates (nigiri chef special combos) because every piece was unexpectedly delicious. Overall nice experience with attentive service. Sushi is to die for. I will definitely come back. read more

I ordered the vegan medley on postmates tonight and it was delicious. The roll was supposed to come with a shiitake mushroom and oyster mushroom sushi which is why I ordered from here in the first place, but sadly they forgot it and only gave the veggie, avocado and asparagus rolls. What I did receive tasted good and I would eat again it's just a bummer I didn't receive the full order. I also ordered the avocado crispy rice and it was soo good. The rice was very crispy and was heavy on avocado. Overall good food only removed one star for the missing sushi pieces. Also received a very kind note from the restaurant! read more

My favorite sushi spot in BH! The fish is always fresh and I always enjoy my experience. read more

Seabutter - Japanese Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Should be renamed "SeenBetter." Had very high expectations going into dinner as this place had 5-star reviews. Unfortunately this goes down as another BH joint that is rated by BH people who don't ever leave BH to eat. BH has horrible food people! (With the exception of Mastro's and a few other high-end joints). Service: slow as hell. Disorganized even. Food: Miso soup was average and lacked depth. It also lacked seaweed. Yellowtail jalapeño sashimi was mostly good but had way too big of slices of jalapeños. It was overpowering. 911 roll was way too drenched in yuzu sauce. Again, overpowering the natural flavors of the spicy tuna that it covered. The gyozas were extremely average and didn't have the seared goodness of the best gyozas you've had that have a beautiful burnt crust. The best food we had was the snow crab hand rolls. These actually were quite tasty but could've probably used a thin slice of cucumber to add texture and complexity to each bite. The highlight of the night was when the sushi chef gave us 4 pieces of nigiri on the house. We're still not sure why he did that, but it was a very nice gesture. Price: expensive for level of service and food you get. Was on par with Sasabune across the street. Mostly likely won't be returning, sadly. read more

An order took an hour and a half to complete. I understand the order was placed on Labor Day, but the estimated delivery time showed 30 minutes. The driver waited 45 minutes in the restaurant. By the time the food arrived we were ready to go to sleep. Called the restaurant twice. Very poor experience. read more

Everything was excellent! Definitely plan on going again in the near future. Great wine, great sushi.

I finally decided to try sea butter after all the hype around it and I was not disappointed. I try to not eat rice and they definitely accompanied me. The menu isn't huge which personally makes ordering a lot easier. The service was impeccable and the owner, George, was extremely kind. I was getting a little cold in there and asked if they could turn down the AC and he did it right away. The food was so bomb! Make sure to get the hye sushi, it melts in your mouth. Anything miso glazed is delicious and the sea bass was exactly that! The sexy albacore and hamachi jalapeño were also fire! Overall, it was amazing but the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of how limited the menu is, for me it was fine but my friend was having trouble! Make sure to check out their menu but also make sure to check out the food! read more

Delicious and great quality... have not been there before found it on yelp was totally happy

Brand new sushi restaurant with fresh quality! I am so excited to see a new sushi restaurant in the area! We came during their soft opening. We got to taste some of the sushi and rolls. The quality of their fish was nice and fresh. Some of my favorites are Scallop Sushi and Squared Pressed Sushi. The 911 Roll was nice too. Because we came during the soft opening, the menu was very limited, which could get pricey. The opening discount offer definitely helps! We also go to meet the owner, George. He is nice and receptive. We came on the first day they got their alcohol license. That's exciting! Can't wait to come back again to try their full menu! Parking in rear. read more

Four of us decided to try Seabutter last night because we were in the sushi mood. Other people's reviews on YELP with yummy photos helped with our decision. The restaurant did not disappoint. Everything we ordered was delicious and the owner, George, was very kind, personable, and kept checking on us to make sure we were happy. We sat at the sushi bar and two of us had beer and sake and the other two had wine, and the selection was good and George helped us with our choices. We will certainly be going back to enjoy more great sushi and the cool and relaxed vibe of the place. Some photos of our choices may help you with your decision... read more
