We had a wonderful lunch at Seabutter. All the dishes including the Sushi, the Miso soup, the Edomame, the pickles, were fresh and delicious. The quality of the fish was very fresh and melted in the mouth. The customer service was fantastic, and the waitress was the best! It was a clean environment, and there was ample parking in the back! read more

Sea Butter is the kind of place that lets the food speak for itself. I ordered the Lux medley 10/10. The fish was absolutely otherworldly. My waitress was kind and genuinely attentive a presence that's rare to come by in LA. I'd absolutely recommend. read more

Seabutter - Lux Medley - Japanese Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

If I could give zero stars, I would. My experience at Seabutter was genuinely shocking and I will never return. The fish I was served tasted rancid -- unmistakably off -- and when I brought it to the staff's attention, I was told I "ate it" and needed to pay for it anyway. I barely tasted it before alerting them, and instead of concern or an apology, I was essentially argued with. To make matters worse, our table was relocated in the middle of our meal without any explanation or courtesy. No apology, no reason given -- and the original table sat empty afterward, which made the whole situation feel even more careless and disrespectful. I left feeling upset, dismissed, and honestly a little stunned at how poorly everything was handled. The food quality was questionable, the service was defensive and unprofessional, and the overall experience was uncomfortable from start to finish. What really pushed this from "bad experience" to unsettling is that my initial review disappeared. I don't know if it was flagged or reported, but having my honest experience seemingly erased is disturbing. I'm reposting because diners deserve to know what they might be walking into. Bottom line: terrible food, terrible treatment, and absolutely no accountability. I would strongly caution anyone considering dining here. read more

My husband and I came here for date night for the first time and we really enjoyed the sushi. The sushi was fresh. Our waiter was really attentive and helpful. read more

This is my third time visiting the restaurant. I came here last Friday with my family. I ordered multiple nigiri's and rolls. I waited more than 30-40 minutes to receive nigiri and as well as my rolls. The server, a female apologised and saying the chefs are busy and will bring out the rolls soon. But it seems like they were focused on the to go orders. This is not acceptable and I am disappointed. read more

Don't sleep on Seabutter! The fish was top notch, we ordered all sushi and splurged on the toro medley .. SO GOOD! Melt in your mouth toro. Top of it off with incredibly friendly and attentive service from the hostess to our server to various servers dropping off food it was a great way to spent a Friday evening. There are only a couple outdoor tables if you don't mind a busy street. By 830 it was buzzy inside, great vibes! read more

The food is great and priced very reasonably. I got take out and it was so fresh and tasty and the hostess was very nice.

This is an excellent sushi restaurant with excellent service, food and very convenient location. I was seated right away at the table of my choice with very attentive servers and host. I had a nice assortment of fish tempura(outstanding), sushi nigiri(excellent eel), rainbow roll and last but not least, garlic edamame(healthy and delicious). The ambience has a nice upscale, yet relaxed flavor with nice decor and on the quiet side which I like. The location is great just on the other side of Starbucks(I also liked they did not hassle me about bringing in and drinking from my Starbucks cup)on the north side of Olympic and west side of doheny intersection. There's cameras there(at the intersection) so don't speed folks and respect cyclists and pedestrians. Highly recommended making my top 10 LA metro sushi list. read more

This is sushi art on a plate. 15 out of 10 stars, hands down. It is oh so hard to find legit pressed sushi in Los Angeles, and Seabutter offers a variety. They do a sample size of nigiri and crudo dishes, ideal for sharing. Everything is pretty AND tasty - a truly underrated quality in a flashy city like this one. Seabutter is worth every penny. This is a small, intimate spot - plan in advance and make a reservation if you want to have the best experience possible. You can make a reservation online, not sure if they take reservations over the phone or if you even need one on quiet weeknights. I respect people who show up without a reservation and wait it out, but I do need that sense of security... :) Everything I had - pictures included - was truly amazing. Great fish-to-rice ratio, great quality fish, and the Lux Medley was one to remember. The staff were polite, polished and so sweet, too. There is another location in Westlake Village, in case you are situated closer to Ventura County or Santa Clarita County. If you're in the mood for a delicious, upscale dinner for date night, the BH location is definitely a must. read more

One of the top 10 sushi spots in Beverly Hills! Incredibly tasty and fresh fish! Like amazing! Ambiance is cool, vibey, and hip. Owners are super super nice and friendly as well as the staff. Come here for amazing sushi, something fun and different. Love this place read more

I promised my boys sushi for our last meal in LA. We booked a 5:30pm reservation here at Seabutter since it got amazing reviews and was close to our hotel...although even driving a mile in LA seems to take awhile. It took a few trips around the block to find parking, but finally found a post in the parking lot next door (right where Dr. Sandwiches is). We were one of the first tables in the restaurant and were served relatively quickly: - A few orders of edaname for the table - House salad for me - Sunset roll for myself (yum) - Salmon rolls for my youngest (he said the best he's had) - hot night roll for my oldest son (he loved) - veggie rolls for my vegetarian friend And after a long few days at theme parks with my boys I was happy to enjoy a glass of wine. It was the perfect meal to the take the kids- low key, tasty and quick. I know there's so many great sushi options in the area, but we enjoyed this one! read more

Absolutely wonderful! Best sushi I have ever had in the states, and the service was lovely. My friends and I shared the Hye, the pressed toro, and the new Saki bomb roll they just added to the menu. Fantastic! read more

What a great hidden gem. The place is small and cozy. All the chefs made eye contact and greeted us as we walked in. Astro, our server, was very professional and nice. The food was amazing! you could taste how fresh everything is and every single roll brought something different and special. read more

As someone who's always looking for a new go-to sushi spot, I really wanted to love @seabuttersushi , but unfortunately, their quality fell a bit short for me, especially for the pricing. Salmon trio sampler: I would actually highly recommend their salmon, which was super fresh (with a slight hint of sweetness and a super buttery flavor from the belly) and well cut! This was definitely worth, especially considering that you get 3 pieces for $14. Rainbow roll: Seabutter is known for their pressed sushi rolls, which are a bit more compressed compared to a traditional sushi roll. However, despite being plated beautifully, the crab filling was tasteless, and the sashimi on top did not taste fresh. I really wish I loved my experience more, especially seeing the care that the employees put into plating and preparing even my delivery meal, but unfortunately, the mediocre quality doesn't justify the high prices. You can definitely get better sushi for around the same prices, or the same quality for a lot less money in LA. read more

Delicious as always. This place never misses, and one of my absolute favorite rolls is the Mr. Crab Roll. The lobster in that roll is unreal, and the sauce they use is so good. Also, Astreaux (pronounced Astro) is the best waiter. He's always so kind and somehow knows exactly what to recommend, especially since I love trying something new every time. He never steers me wrong. Can't wait to come back (again). read more

This was my first time ever trying Presses Sushi, and what an interesting concept! While it had great flavor and I loved the fish, it fell apart and was more difficult to eat than regular sushi or cut rolls. I went with the Tuna Citrus ($19.50) because the server said it was one of their most popular from the pressed section. It had tuna, spicy albacore, gobo, jalapeño, and a small fresh lemon slice on top. Pressed sushi is something I recommend every sushi lover try at least once for the experience. They have a variety of crispy rice options that range from $6-$15, and we went with the spicy tuna crispy rice for $8.50. It comes with two pieces and it's absolutely amazing, a must order. I loved the amount of truffle and yuzu on their menu. My favorite thing about Seabutter was that they had fresh wasabi available. The name of the restaurant really threw me at first, but it was a great choice if you enjoy unique sushi. For parking, I'd recommend dining after 6pm so that you can get free metered street parking. read more

Delicious food. Excellent service. Music and decor relaxed. The Bluefin Carpaccio with fried onions and sautéed mushroom was off the charts. Garlic edamame and miso were good as well. I'll be back for sure. read more

Upon walking in, I noticed it was very busy during dinner hours. There is plenty of seating heading towards the back of the restaurant, but I had made a reservation ahead of time through their Yelp page, so my boyfriend and I were seated at the sushi bar. The restaurant seemed casual and was lightly decorated. The sushi chef taking our order was very kind, and our waitress was also very friendly and checked in on us often. We ordered a bottle of Sapporo and three rolls. I cannot remember the names of the rolls, but my goodness they were extremely delicious. The prices seemed reasonable too, which surprised me. I was expecting ridiculously high prices for sushi in Beverly Hills. Overall, I'm so happy to have found a nice sushi restaurant with good prices and amazing food and service, and will definitely be coming back. read more

I got takeout from here, wasn't wowed by this place, especially given their pricing. The fish was fresh, but the flavor combos weren't anything inspiring. We ordered: 911 Daddy long legs Sunset Shiso special Sunset Tuna explosion Marilyn Monroll (carb free), wrapped in a thinly sliced pickled radish strip, no rice or seaweed. Salmon truffle sushi...?? Not even sure we got the true salmon truffle sushi -- I initially thought they forgot to give us the salmon truffle because it was the only roll that wasn't written on the box it was in, but then we noticed three different rolls in one box, but the box only listed two. But then there wasn't even a whiff of truffle, artichoke or citrus which the menu describes the sushi as having -- blandly tasted of salmon and rice. Wanted to love this place. Will continue the search for my go-to sushi place. read more

Seabutter is perplexing to me. I can't figure out why nothing is ever spicy. I have ordered delivery multiple times and dined in, and for some reason their spicy tuna mix is always bland. I started ordering with extra jalapeño and extra wasabi, and those aren't spicy either. I really want to love it, but it just misses the mark for me. read more

Came here today with my mom and loved it. Super affordable pricing and delicious food. The waiters were extremely nice and gentle and I overall had a really great experience. Will definitely be coming back here read more

Fantastic quality for the price. Seabutter is a great alternative to Sugarfish or Kazunori and is my new default sushi bar. I appreciated the buttery scallop cut roll and the rainbow roll filled generously with blue crab. read more

Really good. Removing one star because I feel the recipes and dishes here are slightly different than the Laguna location (which we have been to many times). Still tasty but the spicy tuna for example isn't spicy like in Laguna. Still a great sushi spot - would recommend. read more

I absolutely LOVE this spot!! I've never ever been disappointed by a sushi roll while dinning here. I've only been here about 4x and I can't wait to go back! Their rolls really melt in your mouth! The quality is always fresh and delicious. The salmon collar bone is always exquisite! Last time I decided to dine solo since my friends were unavailable and I could no longer wait! Their sunset roll is so delicious that I could eat 10 of them! Customer service is also always super amiable and friendly. 10/10 sushi spot I wish they had some closer to downtown LA!! Hello??? Or Inglewood area!! Please lmk when you open up another spot read more

The sushi was pretty good but for the price there is better sushi in LA. The ambiance is nice, but nothing special. Again, it's not bad but for a town filled with great sushi it doesn't really compete. read more

Quality fish! My entire party was really impressed by the yellowtail sashimi. We came for dineLA lunch and left feeling satisfied. However, the quantity and quality definitely did not warrant for its price. We also felt very rushed with our meal, due to the server constantly hovering and asking to clear plates when we weren't quite done with our course. We all agreed there are places with easily better service, ambience and sushi for a similar price range. Probably wouldn't return due to that. read more

Yum. Very fresh and tasty sushi. I ordered it via a delivery service and it was so good. I recommend this place and will go in person at some point t. read more

Although it wasn't my favorite type of sushi due to the small portions, I have to admit that the quality was truly amazing. The flavors were exquisite and the ingredients seemed incredibly fresh. While the portions left me wanting more, I couldn't help but appreciate the attention to detail in every bite. Just thought you might find this information interesting. If you're in the mood to try some exceptional sushi in small portion, Seabutter might be worth a visit. read more

4 stars - nice experience, worth the visit! Seabutter has an attractive sushi & roll menu, but what got me in here is their selection of crispy rice options. My favorite item was the crispy rice baked lobster, I loved the crunch to the rice to the warm lobster on top. It comes with two per order, and sadly both pieces did not have the same lobster proportion. The spicy tuna crispy rice was also nice, it had a nice kick to it. But honestly I enjoy the spicy tuna arancini at Fia better. The presentation of the food was beautiful. The albacore belly sashimi was beautifully placed, like a work of art. Fish was fresh. The rainbow roll and Marlyn Monroll were ok, I liked the Rainbow better likely out of preference with the rice in the roll, as Marlyn Monroll has no rice (hence the low carb). I do wish there was more sauce on the Monroll. I got two orders of the salmon medley. Again, the size of the fish was different, where one cut was slightly bigger than the other, but the taste was delicious. I don't think I've seen a salmon medley on other restaurant menus before, so as a salmon fan, this was a nice find. I ordered green tea. I was slightly surprised that they gave me tea in a tea bag, as usually at Japanese restaurants they serve you tea from a pot, so I found that a bit odd. So when I asked for a second cup of tea I just got hot water and I moved my tea bag to the hot water. It was obviously a much lighter version of my tea, but I could still taste it. Also, good to note that the sushi chefs were all Japanese :) read more

Usually when I enjoy a restaurant I like going back and trying new things on the menu. I've been to both locations Glendale and Beverly Hills but a few days ago I wanted I was in BH and really wanted sushi. I had told my friends that I had been to seabutter a few times and really enjoyed it so I wanted to take them there. I wish I hadn't said that because I was so unhappy. I could not tell if it was just an off day or if the quality of fish had worsen. We ordered the sunset roll, Mr crab roll, hamachi yellowtail, halibut sushi, salmon sushi, red snapper sushi, a salmon roll which I forgot the name of and few other apps. The only thing that tasted good was the sunset roll and the yellowtail sashimi THATS IT. The rest was missing flavor. My halibut and red snapper sushi had a weird taste and I got a scale or shell in my mouth. The service was alright every time we would order one thing and we were going to continue with ordering more our waitress would just walk away. We had to call her over a few times to actually put the entire order in. Overall it was not a good experience and I'm not sure if I'd be returning. read more

Last time I was here, the food was incredible. I remember it being so good, I decided to order take out. It was horrible! The fish was so fishy and lacked flavor. It smelled so bad. I tried a few bites and couldn't eat it anymore. I gave it to my husband to try who's the least picky eater in the world and he couldn't even finish it. He said it was fishy and terrible. Not good and very disappointed! So fishy and gross. read more

Seabutter has been one of our favorite takeout spots for years. They go above and beyond for customers and the sushi is great, always fresh and deliver. When they make a mistake they make it right -- just today Ubereats delivered our order and it didn't have wasabi or ginger, so we called and an employee delivered it to our house with some extras... within 15 minutes. So nice! read more

Came by on a Wednesday around 1:30pm. It wasn't full at all and they had plenty of inside sitting. The waiter was friendly and very helpful informing us about the rolls we picked. My favorite roll had to be daddy long legs. It was so delicious and I love pickled radish so it was perfect. The 911 and sunset roll both had a very tangy flavor which I wasn't such a big fan of. It wasn't bad, don't get me wrong but I could do two pieces and I'm good. The garlic edamame was on point. We devoured them before I was able to take a picture. Definitely order them if you like garlic. read more

This review may offend a lot of fans, as the yelp reviews seen for this restaurant is nothing but spectacular. That's what attracted me in the first place. But I'll try to be as honest as possible. Seabutter is quite pricey, so my standards are a bit higher. Service/Ambiance: To start, everything was extremely slow. The restaurant wasn't too crowded, so perhaps they were understaffed? It took 20+ minutes to take out pt 1 of the chef special, and we proceeded to wait another 30+ minutes for the second portion. If you're serving a $100 set, the momentum needs to keep going. You can't let someone snack on first half and leave them hanging for over half an hour before 2nd half comes. Music was pretty loud, so a bit hard to hear each other, but not a big deal. Food: - Ginger was cut really thick - Black sizzling cod was way to sweet. Like actually sweeter than most desserts to give some perspective. - Chef special was ok, the fish they use was fresh, but in my opinion, we can't just be drenching everything in truffle oil. - The torched toro was an interesting one. Felt like it was torched to the point where the whole thing was basically cooked, so it firmed up and looks like a piece of spam as seen in the picture below. Not appetizing. Overall, I would skip this place. I think their attempt to be creative was too strong. There are many many MANY terrific sushi places out there for this price point. read more

Seabutter has gradually become my favorite sushi bar in this part of town. Extremely fresh fish, delicate flavors, and the sweetest staff who will write hand-written notes and drawings on your boxes even if you're just picking up takeout. The space inside is fairly small and can get crowded, yet there usually isn't a wait. Despite the Beverly Hills naming, the prices aren't outrageous. Some of the freshest hamachi and kanpachi you'll taste, and they have some pretty varied tempura dishes too. Note that they sell their nigiri individually rather than as a pair. Small parking lot in back, but if it's full, the street parking nearby isn't horrendous at least. read more

Boyfriend and I were attracted to this restaurant because of the great reviews online. We made a reservation, we came, we ordered, we ate, and I had to pat myself on the back for stopping my boyfriend from ordering their Omakase or a bunch of sushi on our initial order. Long story short: Food was okay, but with the price tag and the hype on the reviews, I was really expecting something more. Seabutter was a huge disappointment and I am not recommending nor will I be returning. read more
