Was very good. I had better sushi at the Laguna Beach location. It's def worth going but sitting at the bar is more fun at other sushi spots I've been too. It's a lot of fun when the chef will take a shot and talk to you. read more

I'm going to start with the service for the first time, the service alone I gave it 5 stars! Our server Marcus was exceptional, we had a really big group that included 3 kids and a new born and he was so nice and positive from start to finish. Typically a big group like this with kids and everyone being disorganized and not paying attention would irritate any server, totally thought he would be faking his 'niceness', but he was so genuine, he was awesome. Their staff were all hands on and everyone was great, but Marcus definitely stood out. This location was much bigger than I anticipated, great if you have a big group or even if it's just the two of you. Very casual, and great location right across from the Americana. Now to the food, I did not focus too much on the food with everything going on around us, but everything I tried was great! I had a little bit of everything, it wasn't my absolute favorite sushi in La but it was better than most. I will definitely come back again. This was much better than their handroll bar in studio city. I really liked the pressed tuna, has a great Smokey/char finish, and also really liked the hot night roll. Those I would definitely order again. The tuna explosion was a bit underwhelming, but it's still good. read more

This afternoon, I took my wife , for her birthday to Seabutter on Brand. It was the best sushi I have had in a long time. The yellowtail is off the charts, the rolls we ordered were perfection, the sweet shrimp was excellent, crispy rice with spicy yellowtail was delicious. I also need to say that the service by Bo was A #1 ! There was also a Gentleman there by the name Alberto who oversaw everything. He was charming and a fabulous conversationalist. He made sure we enjoyed everything and he sincerely cared about our opinions. We are definitely coming back soon. There's parking behind the restaurant . We decided to park across the street at the Americana so we could do a little shopping after lunch and see the Christmas decorations. It was a beautiful experience, Glendale, you sure know how to combine dining, entertainment and shopping in a safe , friendly environment! read more

Seabutter is a solid sushi spot and if you find yourself near one of their locations its not a bad option. LA is full of amazing sushi so its really hard to stand out but I enjoyed our meal. Maybe less tempura/cooked options but otherwise solid. read more

Good quality and fresh sushi - niguri and particularly the Uni was delicious. I would stay away from the fixed or "omakase" - not really true omakase. Just stick with nigiti and rolls. read more

Absolutely delicious sushi and the variety makes it even better. Highly recommended if you love sushi and if your looking for a busy but pleasant atmosphere, heres the place read more

Amazing food and service! Main chef made the whole experience ten times better. Though it was crowded, it still felt very calm and pleasant. Highly recommended!!! read more

Well located, clean, nice service. The food was just ok. The best thing I had was the blue crab hand roll - as such, I plan to return to their hand roll bar next time instead. The crispy rice was good too. Everything else was somehow flavorless. read more

If I could give this place more stars I would. I walked in and was greeted by their host and a waiter. Every staff member is really friendly and I love the ambiance in here. It's very beautiful inside, there's a sushi bar you can sit at and a bunch of beautiful white tables to sit at. Now the food, there's a lot I can say on the sushi but one thing I do want to highlight is the quality of fish. Usually I don't like thick cut pieces but their yellowtail is insane, I love the pressed sushi as well as the chicken teriyaki! You guys SO close to me, you're officially my local sushi spot! Thank you for having us. read more

We dropped into Seabutter for a late lunch on a Sunday. We go lucky and found parking in the back, else we would had to park in one of the neighboring lots. I dropped off my partner and then found parking on my own. When I tried to use the back door of the restaurant, I found it locked and walked thru Phil's Coffee to get to the front (sorry Phil's!). My partner however said when he tried the door, it was open. So FYI. The food and service were both top notch. We enjoyed our food and the calm ambiance of the restaurant. We got 1 sashimi style order which was very fresh and 2 rolls (as that's my partner's' preference). I would dine at Seabutter again when I'm in the mood for sashimi. If I'm mainly ordering rolls, I'd likely go elsewhere as despite their rolls being good; I find that the rice and other items in and on top of rolls really mask the fish's quality within. As such, roll style sushi can be gotten elsewhere for less (if you're being budget conscious) and taste about the same. Just my opinion. I'll happily pay for quality sashimi though. read more

First time here, we chose Seabutter randomly while at Americana at Brand shopping area. It was an anniversary dinner for my brother and sister-in-law. The restaurant recently opened in Glendale and the space they are in is on the smaller side, but light and airy. They call their food modern sushi and they do have some unique items on the menu. We shared an order of the garlic edamame and ordered a rainbow roll (made with blue crab vs dungeness), daddy long legs (soft shell crab), the hottie (low carb) and pressed toro (think a layered roll cut into rectangles). The Wasabi served seemed to be freshly ground based on texture, but I didn't confirm that. The food was tasty, although my brother said he prefers dungeness in his rainbow rolls. I throughly enjoyed the items I tasted, including the rainbow. Everything was super fresh. Only three minor things keep this from 5 stars, our main waiter seemed a bit aloof and distracted, but that could have been due to how many tables he was managing. The support team was attentive and friendly. The cute, but super messy soy sauce pot (I understand they are replacing them) and lastly, there was no acknowledgement of the special day we were celebrating, even though I mentioned it when we were seated. Overall I would go back and recommend the restaurant to others. read more

One of my favorite sushi spots in Glendale! They serve your food super quick and always provide a free small ceviche app, which is delicious. Their nigiris are small but soft and delicious. I love the truffle flavor they put on their king salmon sushi. Also really enjoy their soft shell crab appetizer - super light and crunchy. read more

Top notch service! I've never had so many different hosts/servers come by to check on our table at a restaurant before. Didn't think that was absolutely necessary but thank you for your care and attentiveness. Also love that they brought out a kids' water cup without us having to ask. These servers just know what you need! The shiso roll was amazing. The fresh flavors went together perfectly. If you like raw sushi, definitely order that one! The marinated carrot in that roll brings back happy memories of eating at traditional sushi spots on the westside. Gyoza was deep fried very well. Typically I hate it when gyoza is deep fried because it's usually too thick and too crispy/hard but theirs is expertly prepared, maybe their gyoza skin is thinner? It was just so light and airy, I really enjoyed it! The pressed roll had a fun presentation and a nice seared flavor but I barely tasted the truffle in the salt/paste topping. Also, I think if fresh pineapple was added to their chicken teriyaki rather than a canned looking version, it would really elevate that dish. But overall those plates tasted good. My son loved their version of the dragon roll. Difference with most establishments is that they use salmon tempura rather than shrimp tempura. Honestly I feel that the salmon overpowers the roll a bit and would prefer shrimp tempura but I'm sure anyone who loves salmon, like my son, will also really enjoy it. At the end of my meal there was a sweet thank you note attached to my to go bag! Despite some things I would improve or change about certain dishes, I'd still say this dinner was memorable for all the right reasons. Parking lot behind restaurant. Must pay at kiosk by entering license plate number. read more

9/8/24 .., located next to Phil'z coffee on the corner of Colorado & Brand, we chose to have dinner here on a Sunday evening (2 days ago) . Looking to get our sushi fix, my girlfriend & I chose this spot for it looked highly recommended. There is parking behind the restaurant & is metered hourly. Upon entry the ambiance was nice, clean, & modern. Having no reservations, even though the restaurant wasn't packed at 6pm we decided to sit at the bar to avoid a wait. Service was friendly, and after we ordered our starters consisting of edamame & 2 orders of Crispy Rice (2 pcs. per order) the place eventually became busy. Our server was friendly but soon forgot about us after we received our appetizers. We ate them slowly hoping he'd return so we could order our entrees without having a huge gap between meals but given they were only 2 pcs. per order they were done within minutes. My only critique with the Crispy Rice rolls is that the rice isn't fried on all sides of its square base which makes grabbing it from the side with chopsticks a hit or miss for it can fall apart if grabbed by the uncooked side. Other than that the flavor was awesome. Due to a previous review, someone had mentioned a sushi chef reprimanding her for using soy sauce & wassabe on his sushi creations. But during our experience while seated at the bar the sushi chefs kept to themselves & hustled throughout the busy dinner service. Only downer about sitting at the bar was the constant reaching over, under & around you by the servers as they got their orders. If you value your personal space then the bar isn't for you lol. After our main server passed us multiple times avoiding eye contact? I was able to get his attention as he was walking with another patron's order. He apologized multiple times and his attentiveness improved. His recommendation of the Hye was appreciated, for that was indeed delicious. We also ordered the Mr. Crab & that was also enjoyed with its generous morsels of baked lobster on top. I understand the nature of the sushi bar environment but 2 of the servers would not say excuse me or anything when grabbing a plate and grazing my head or shoulder with their elbow as they got their orders. One female server would always reach under my girlfriend's arm as she was eating to grab an empty plate without saying a word which made it uncomfortable for her. Towards the end of our meal, another female server reached over my girlfriend's head to grab a roll & a flower garnish fell off and into my girlfriend's water. All she said was oops sorry and walked away without offering a new glass? Other than that the other servers were great and checked on us when our main server was absent. I'm open to give this place another shot if back in town & seated at a table for a different experience. Do I crave it or have the urge to come back anytime soon, not likely. read more

We went here for dinner on Valentines Day. The food was delicious. The miso sea bass was amazing! The issue we had was with the service. We ordered appetizers including miso soup. We were told the sea bass would take 30 minutes which was why we ordered appetizers. The sea bass showed up in about 20 minutes and was there before the soup and salad. We asked several times about the appetizers but the staff did not seem concerned at all. Tables around us kept getting their food in a logical order. The sushi showed up about 3 minutes later so we had food crammed on our table at all different temperatures. We eat sushi often and are aware that it comes as it gets done but getting the main before the appetizers made our meal difficult to eat. In addition, I never got my water refilled despite asking. Again, the food was wonderful but the lack of proper service made it difficult to enjoy our meal. read more

There are so many sushi places in Glendale, but Seabutter steps it up a notch. It's modern, clean, and offers some of the freshest fusion-esque sushi without breaking the bank. They have a good variety on their menu - sushi, sashimi, rolls, a few hot items, handrolls, and to my surprise pressed sushi! I don't see this often, so this was a nice surprise. Their nigiris, Pressed sushi, and "Sushi Style" portion of their menu are my favorite so far, and the way they prepare their fish is literally like butter. I've tried their omakase select, which is a good variety, and highlights all the best flavors Seabutter offers. I'll definitely be coming back here for my sushi fix, and I'm glad that they are now in this area! read more

This was our third visit to this SeaButter location, and we keep coming back for a reason! While we're personally not the biggest fans of the hand rolls, the seaweed can be a bit tougher compared to other popular hand roll spots nearby, the quality of their sushi, sashimi, and rolls more than makes up for it. We tried the 911 Roll for the first time, flavorful, but we still much prefer their nigiri and sashimi options. Our absolute favorite has to be the Golden Eye Snapper (Kinmedai), it's packed with flavor and melts in your mouth. Another standout is the Salmon Medley, we also swore it was our favorite thing on the menu. The variety and balance of flavors in that dish are exceptional. To make the experience even better, one of the chefs surprised us with a complimentary ceviche, such a kind gesture and a great way to round out the meal. This SeaButter location is conveniently located right across from The Americana, with plenty of seating and a clean, modern atmosphere. The staff are always helpful, attentive, and genuinely hospitable. read more

This is my new favorite sushi spot. Take out or eat in, the quality remains the same and the food is delicious. To start off, this place is located right across the Americana next to Philz coffee. It's a cute, dimly lit sushi restaurant with an extensive menu of fresh cuts. When I tell you everything, absolutely everything, we got was delicious- I tell no lie. From the crunchy albacore, to the YTK (my favorite). We got sashimi, sushi, rolls- all were great, with bountiful flavor and not overdone with sauce. Our server Marcus was the kindest, most efficient server we have had a sushi restaurant. He knew his stuff, walking us through the menu and guiding our decisions with choices that were spot on. I think we got approached maybe 5 times for refills and orders- like for ginger, which usually you won't have happen once in most sushi restaurants. The flavors and quality of the food, as well as impeccable service really sets Seabutter apart. Best sushi place in Glendale! read more

Finally - an amazing sushi spot in Glendale. I was so excited to learn that Seabutter was coming to Glendale and it did not disappoint! If you want fresh fish, amazing service, melt-in-your mouth kinda food, and a clean and modern ambiance, look no further. Seabutter has it all! The menu is incredible and you literally can't go wrong with anything you order. Everything is incredibly fresh and tasty. The mix of flavors in everything is unique and utterly perfect. I am allergic to soy sauce and avocado and the chefs are super careful and accommodating, making new batches of things just to make sure I am able to have my favorite rolls. I am obsessed. Hands down, best sushi spot in Glendale and potentially all of LA. Highly recommend! read more

Came here for a light lunch and everything was top notch. We were welcomed by a friendly host upon arrival, he allowed us to pick our own seat, and then their chef gave us a complementary yellowtail sashimi dish to try! Incredible. We ordered the Hye sushi style which was minced fish with citrus yuzu drizzled on top, the sunset roll (literally melt in your mouth delicious), and the albacore belly. It is clear their chefs believe in superior taste and experience for their guests. We will be coming back soon. read more

Was in the area with a girlfriend and we wanted to stop by for some sushi. We came across Seabutter for the first time, and while the sushi was undeniably fresh, the overall experience left much to be desired. The quality of the sushi was good, but unfortunately, the service was a real letdown. The staff seemed rather standoffish and almost rushed us through the meal, which really impacted the atmosphere. It felt like they were eager to turn over tables rather than give us a chance to enjoy our meal at a comfortable pace. While the freshness of the sushi is a positive, the poor service overshadowed the experience. Given the hype around this place, I expected more both in terms of hospitality and overall dining experience. read more

Oh no, I really wanted to like this place! It started off with so much promise and really devolved after an unfortunate situation with one of the dishes. It was a pressed tail that was made incorrectly- they loaded the bottom with too much rice and allowed it to get wet. By the time it arrived to us from the kitchen to eat it, the roll had collapsed. My wife tried to send it back and the manager brought back spoons to help the crumbled stacks and took it too personal for such a simple ask (there clearly were major issues with the dish). After that our server disappeared and we weren't able to order anything else, nor get a timely check. I'm really hoping this is just a one off, the chicken teriyaki seemed normal, and the wait was minimal so the service is usually good around 5pm. I think the wait staff maybe could have used some extra hands they seemed stressed and unable to help us when we needed it towards the end. read more

Our new favorite spot! Gone here for lunch with girls and also on my anniversary with my husband. We love the service and waiters that come with recommendations on favorites and it hits the spot every time! Love that it's not drenched in sauces to cover the taste, the sushi itself is so good and taste doesn't need any extra sauces!! read more

I ordered the Salmon Supreme via uber eats and the restaurant added shrimp without telling me. I haven't had shrimp in 10 years due to a severe allergy -- this could have been dangerous. Restaurants should follow their menu descriptions, and if they swap ingredients, they must inform the customer. This was careless and unacceptable. read more

Came here last Sunday at 1pm and it was empty! Which I loved, we got seated immediately and our food came out quickly. The gentleman who sat us, gave us over the top customer service. I can't remember his name but he has a man bun, it was probably the best customer service I've received in LA. The food was delicious as well. My favorite was the HYE : minced yellowtail belly, sesame oil, truffle, kizami wasabi, sea salt. So yummy! Will definitely be returning. read more

I want to start by saying that my sister and I are originally from Hawaii. Although we don't live there anymore, I still live in a state that is known for fresh seafood. And my sister married a chef who is also Japanese. During my recent visit to CA, my sister and I chose sushi for our first meal. Seabutter was in close proximity to our hotel and only required a short walk (like short, short, kitty corner to our hotel). It was just after lunch on a Friday afternoon, so the restaurant was pretty empty. There were servers and wait staff who were trying to find ways to keep busy and prep for the dinner crowd. We were greeted and seated quickly. We probably had about seven staff members ask us if we needed anything, if we were ready, if we wanted anything other than water, if we had been there before, and if we had any questions. It was a little overkill with service at the moment, but again, they were all trying to find something to do. Anyhow, we ordered the shrimp & veggie tempura, a sunset roll, and a salmon avo, as recommended by the wait staff taking our order. Everything was excellent. The chef even gave everyone (only maybe four parties in the establishment) a small serving of ceviche to taste. After all of our food was served, the staff didn't bother us much, only checking in if we needed more water or tea. We stayed a while, chatting and savoring our hot tea while contemplating ordering more, but we didn't. On Sunday, before our scheduled event, we went back for sushi. The restaurant was fuller this time, but we didn't have to wait for a table or service. We ordered a soft shell crab, U.S.C, dragon, and kanpachi yuzu. We could have eaten more, but had some walking to do and a four hour sitting event to attend. Both times, everything that should have been crispy was. And everything that was should have been buttery was. Everything was pleasantly fresh and melted in our mouths. We would have had this for dinner that night, but it was closed by the time we walked back that way. If we're ever in the area, we know where to go! read more

Came in on a Sunday day, first time, service was excellent! A young lady was our server, explained everything well and was attentive and kind. Food was delicious, fresh and came quickly.
