This place is super cozy and has an awesome view of the chefs making all the delicious-to-order dishes. My friend and I went and both ordered the 6-hand roll menu option. It's six preselected pieces of fish; everything was fresh, soft, and absolutely mouthwatering. I couldn't have asked for better! The only thing I'll say is that the portions might be a bit small, but not tiny or anything. I'll also say, as far as affordability for this option, it can't be beat. They have more options that are expensive since they are more like specialty options. Regardless, I loved it and can't wait to go back! read more

Service was excellent- staff was super attentive and kind. Good was amazing- garlic edamame, pressed toro, crispy albacore, double t, green goddess, and avocado crispy rice. Everything was delicious. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite while Christmas shopping. Got the three roll special and the blue crab don. Everything was excellent. Staff were attentive and friendly service was quick, but not rushed. Been to a couple of hand roll places on the west side and I'm very happy to find such great value and quality on my side of town. Can't wait to return with friends and explore more things on the menu. read more

Tried out this new sushi spot and it was so good! There's a ton of seating and a lot of employees working at a time, the service was super quick. They have a lot of truffle in their menu, so keep that in mind if you're not a huge fan of truffle. The yellowtail crispy rice was my favorite, would be better if they served it with avocado. The jalapeño tempura was SO good on the YTJ roll and the tuna citrus pressed sushi was very refreshing. The citrus in the YTJ and tuna citrus were a little too strong and overpowering for me, but still good and the fish was very good quality. read more

This is a great addition to the Americana for sushi. The staff here is very friendly and service is very quick as orders come out efficiently. The space is open and more like a casual restaurant stop you can dress casual al the time. Ive tried several dishes and most dishes are tasty but there have been a few that didn't excite me. I feel that everyone has their own taste so I won't label anything negative elevation since I've been here a few times and always had a overall great experience. read more

The Rainbow roll here is amazing. Handrolls are good too, similar to the Seabutter across the street.

They were open on Christmas Day! Beautiful restaurant and the staff was amazing and friendly. I took my daughter for a special lunch. I ordered the Taste of Seabutter which is a 6 course meal and she had the Veggie Udon. Everything was beyond fresh and absolutely delicious.

We recently had dinner at Seabutter and the experience was perfect from beginning to end. Parking was easy, they have metered parking out front and more paid parking around the block. We got a spot right out front. Everyone greeted us as we entered. The room was fairly empty at 6:30 on a Wednesday, but I imagine it fills in on the weekends. It had a very modern, clean vibe. Before we even ordered, the server offered us a complimentary ceviche, which was citrusy and delicious. We ordered the pressed toro, salmon medleys, scallop nigiri, the daily special golden eye snapper, and spicy salmon crispy rice and they were all amazing. The king salmon in the medley was our absolute favorite, with the spicy salmon crispy rice a close second. I had mentioned that it was my partner's birthday and the staff came out and sang to us. They also brought out a complimentary matcha ice cream. We aren't usually fans of matcha flavor, but this ice cream was so tasty! The flavor was delicate and the texture was dense and creamy. I also ordered the plum wine, which was super sweet and syrupy, with an incredibly thick viscosity. I loved it! But it's definitely for people who like very sweet wines. One thing that stood out was the excellent service. No empty plate sat on our table. As soon as we finished a plate someone quietly whisked it away without interrupting our conversation. They gave us space but attended to any needs we had. We can't wait to go back! They have a large menu and so many things we'd like to try. read more

Only a few things. Both bathrooms are singles, so might get busy when restaurant is crowded. You have to ask for desserts because I didn't see it on the menu. Careful with soy sauce container as you pour it, especially when it is full. The top will leak when it is full. Overall, the pressed sushi was great.i got the pressed toro and had truffle on top. The Marlyn Monroe,low carb roll, a daikon roll with tuna, salmon, albacore, and yellowtail with avocado and gobo (braised burdock root). Shiso special is a cut roll with gobo, shiso (beefsteak plant leaf), tuna, yellowtail, salmon, avocado, cucumber, and wasabi. Emma nigiri is minced, seared, frosted toro with nikiri sauce, truffle, and kizami wasabi. read more

My absolute favorite sushi restaurant in Glendale! I have been coming here for the past year and it has never disappointed. The service is great and the staff is super friendly. I highly recommend the Crispy Albacore, 911, Tuna Citrus, the Hye, and the crispy rice! The fish is incredibly fresh and delicious. I recommend checking Seabutter out for lunch or dinner. The ambiance is great! read more

Terrible experience at this place. Our server and the manager were very rude and not professional. We ordered one of their pressed rolls and the roll was completely falling apart making it impossible to eat. When we asked for the roll to be taken away, both server and manager suggested that we eat it with the spoon and basically just deal with it. I'm sorry, but when I'm at the Japanese restaurant ordering a roll, I'm not going to struggle and eat it with the spoon. They continued arguing with me, and totally ruined our experience here. read more

This sushi here is just as good as the Laguna Beach location. It's clean (new) & modern. The staff was friendly & attentive. Parking (paid) was easy behind the building read more

We checked out their Glendale location for the first time and it didn't disappoint. Their fish is so fresh and their pressed sushi is so memorable. We had the pressed toro and pressed salmon which were delightful. The crispy albacore was really good. Everyone really loved the Hye and the Salmon Truffle sushi was reaaally good. read more

This restaurant was such a wonderful surprise! It's cute, well lit and clean. I love sushi so I can be very picky and particular about it. This sushi is fresh, and flavorful! The best use of truffle oil and wasabi that I've ever had. The service is friendly and extra helpful! My daughter has celiac and they offered so many gluten free options! They immediately asked us if we had been there before and we answered no, they immediately gave us a complimentary ceviche. We enjoyed the atmosphere, service and the food. read more

Sorry. Not good. I have been following their IG for a while and was excited to try it when they opened near my house. It's conveniently located right across from Americana and parking can be easily found at the back lot. Upon arrival, I noticed a really simple, modern interior. The front door was really huge! andddddd that was it. The main problem with their food is that everything is so bland. I can see that they make their own version of soy sauce and use that as a base for all of their sauces but everything tastes so watered down. I asked if they have regular soy sauce but they didn't have it. It should at least be available upon request. Fish quality was pretty standard but wagyu was inedible. It was way too chewy. Pressed roll had a nice concept but it didn't do much to the taste. Sea bass was good though. It was really thick and juicy. However, again, due to their watered down house made soy sauce, it didn't taste like anything. Service wasn't that great. The menu was priced little bit above average and I was expecting much butter service. The busser actually checked up on us more than the servers. There was a guy that looked like he had no idea what he was doing and he made the dining experience much more "fun". read more

My favorite local sushi spot! I've come here many times and each time the service and quality of food is top notch and consistent. You can tell the sushi chefs really love their craft because the appearance and taste of the rolls, sashimi, etc. are always awesome. The salmon sashimi really does taste so buttery yet fresh! My personal favorite is the hot night roll. The service is so accommodating and they check on you often. The ambiance is chill, we love the music they play, and the interior of the restaurant is very chic yet comfortable. read more

This place is awesome. Didn't notice that the chicken spot had closed down but when I did, I saw a new sushi spot and figured I'd give it a try. In Glendale, the #1 spot (in my opinion) is Kumadori. This place was clean, fresh and inviting. Modern ambiance with lots of positive energy from the staff. Our waitress (forgot her name but she had tattoos and was very attentive) greeted us immediately and after we sat down, she walked over with the menus. She made her recommendations and I must say, they were all AMAZING!!! My favorite dish was the Mr. Crab!!! We also loved the Pressed Toro, the Salmon Truffle and the Sunset. All the fish was fresh and they did not skimp on the amount of fish/seafood in each item. We loved the service from our waitress along with the food and we will definitely return. read more

I went to Seabutter this afternoon and all I can say is wow! The quality and freshness of the fish was excellent, and the flavors of the sushi were very unique and delicious. The Kanpachi Yuzu was TO DIE FOR! Most importantly, I'd like to thank Zoé for his phenomenal customer service. He made it such an enjoyable lunch and gave wonderful recommendations. read more

Ordered Seabutter through DoorDash. We ordered a bunch of sushi and a few hot dish items for 4 people to try a lot of things. The food came quickly and was impeccably packed but the quality and taste absolutely does not match the price. Two of the cut rolls were not even cut all the way through causing the pieces to fall apart when we picked them as they were still stuck together. The tuna on top of the YTJ roll tasted off. Not good poison bad, but definitely wasn't the freshest. Most of the other food was under seasoned and portions were very small. I wouldn't mind the small portions if the quality was high and the flavors were outstanding but it was not. The best thing we ordered was the veggie udon we got for my toddler. Unfortunately we came away very disappointed with this meal, especially with how much we spent. Probably won't order again (and this is the 2nd time I've ordered with the same thoughts). read more

The food is also really good but Honestly our server Marcus made our experience amazing. He was so attentive to us and made the sushi experience even better. Couldn't have asked for a better waiter. read more

My friends and I came here for a birthday dinner on a Thursday evening. It was quite empty when we arrived around 5:45, but it slowly started filling up around 7. Def get a reservation just in case. Food: We all ordered the Taste of Seabutter omakase special, hot house sake and some extra handrolls. 5 out 5 stars. Melt in your mouth good. Service: Exceptional. Our server was so funny and attentive. When he was busy getting our food, there was always another server around us just in case we needed something. Ambiance: Casual. But somewhat trendy without being pretentious. My only suggestion is dimming the lights a bit. It could be such a cute date spot but it's so bright in there! read more

The omakase style medleys are all excellent and varied and they stay good when you do pickup orders too.

Absolutely delicious. I will definitely be going back. The truffle salmon sushi was extraordinary.

Great service and simple but elegant decor. The spicy tuna is definitely spicier than the spicy salmon. The hot sake is sweet and smooth with no bitter after taste read more

It pains me to write this review as I have been a very loyal Client of Seabutter since they opened. The food is excellent and the staff is just lovely- and for that I would give ten stars. My husband and I look forward to our "sushi Sundays"- ordering a sizable feast from Seabutter almost every Sunday. It has always been the best part of the end of our weekend. Sadly, management has recently made policy changes which no longer honor the Client and were unwilling to make accommodations to keep my weekly business. In a city with many sushi options, this feels like a poor decision for them to make. In today's current restaurant climate, consistent business is crucial. Unfortunately, out of principle, I will be taking my weekly "Sushi Sundays" business elsewhere, which is truly disappointing. I can't patron a business which is unwilling to make very easy accommodations to retain me as a very loyal client. read more

Poor service, mostly towards the man who initially brought drinks and wasabi and ginger plates. Made a huge mistake and had a careless attitude. Our server was alright just didn't appreciate her trying to educate us how we should tip. Food was alright. My favorite was the sunset and 911 rolls. Albacore and yellowtail sushi were amazing. The pressed plate was overrated in my opinion. In fact that was the least enjoyed plate. I would've returned but due to the poor service I will not. I was frustrated from the start. read more

I came in today by myself because I wanted sushi really bad and it was DineLA week, so I thought I would give this place a try. They did not disappoint! Everything was super fresh and so quickly made. My waiter Zoét was incredibly attentive and made my experience really wonderful! It's a little pricey, so I can't be coming here every week, but for a special occasion, I would definitely consider coming back! read more

Nico! Hope I spelled that right!
