“If you are in the San Gabriel Valley area you must stop here if you want amazing Sashimi. Started with fatty Tuna that melted in my mouth so fresh delicious then moved on to giant Clams (Mirugai) it was sweet & crunchy I could have gone for second order not many sushi restaurants have (Mirugai)The fatty belly Salmon was buttery & the spicy Tuna hand roll sashimi was perfect coz I’m a spicy food addict it was just heavenly for me. Yum yum 🤤 ended with Kumamoto Oyster 🦪 it was so sweet like cotton candy in your mouth made me wanting more which I did order more. Lol 😂 The house hot Sake was good for a cold night paired so well with my amazing Sashimi! Great way to end my Friday night here! Thank you Chef!“

“Give it a 5 1-5 great customer services great food“

“Great food and great quality“

“I loved the ambience here! The space was very clean and minimalistic, and the service was amazing as well. You can really taste the quality of the fish here, and you can’t beat the prices either! I definitely will be coming back very soon!“

“Mixed tempura was delicious (they gatekeep that tempura dipping sauce like nobody's business). Bento box was tasty (salmon was cooked perfectly). The salmon skin roll was well liked by the wife. Loved the fact that Mikomi had Pacifico Beer on tap!!!

Highly recommend this spot, especially for lunch.“

“Easy 5 stars. Genuinely some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. Everything was incredibly fresh, and I loved that the dishes weren’t overloaded with sauces or unnecessary toppings, the quality of the fish really spoke for itself.

The salmon was buttery and melted in your mouth, the eel was warm, rich and perfectly glazed, and even the cucumber salad was ridiculously good. And if you go, definitely try the fatty tuna, highly recommend it!

This is one of those places that makes it hard to enjoy average sushi afterward. 😂 Already looking forward to going back.“

“I highly recommend Sushis Takeda. I absolutely loved the experience: the service from the waitstaff was excellent—always attentive and very friendly—which made the whole visit even more enjoyable.

What stood out most was the *omakase* format, where the chef prepares a perfect selection —and honestly, it does not disappoint. I was served by the team of Jairo, Sami, and Demi, and everything we tasted was delicious. Every single dish had incredible flavor, and the quality was evident.

Plus, I really enjoyed the sake 🍶; it complemented the entire experience perfectly.

It is definitely a place I would return to without a second thought. 👌🍣“

“my friend and I stopped at this cute lil sushi spot because we wanted a more intimate vibe than a full on restaurant. it was quaint and cozy and the sushi was absolutely AMAZING!!! Vivian and her husband were the absolute sweetest couple that treated us like long time friends. we had fantastic conversation and it is clear that they both are extremely passionate about what they do. i’m so grateful we visited during our time in LA. we will SO be back !!!! 😊😊“

“Exceptional food! Hamachi collar, red snapper soup! And sushi. Authentic; which is why it was so good!“

“It was Absolutely delicious!“

“The service, the food, the environment and the kindness and efficiency of our server tonight! 😋👍“

“Sawa is easily a top-10 restaurant in my opinion. The chef deserves a star. The entire experience went beyond my expectations, truly outstanding. I had so much fun dining there; the environment is friendly, and every bite was delicious. The host was spectacular, especially for suggesting we split the sake pairing, for someone who doesn’t drink much, it was more than enough. I’m already looking forward to coming back.“

“My husband and I recently visited Oji Sushi & Sake Bar and we really loved this restaurant! Food is very tasty, atmosphere was amazing. Kat, our waitress was wonderful! She took such a great care of us. Kat was nice, friendly and professional. We definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone!“

“First time coming here.. First impression was very good, the staff was very friendly and they give me good recommendation and the place is clean, a very pleasant environment. The food is very delicious and the flavors are very rich, I really recommend you here.“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“amazing food, service and ambiance!“

“Great food and great service“

“I recently tried Koki Ku Sushi, a newer Japanese restaurant in Duarte, and came away pleasantly surprised.

I stopped by for their lunch special and found the service attentive and welcoming throughout the meal. The 5-piece chef's choice premium nigiri was fresh and enjoyable, with each piece offering a nice variety of flavors.

I also ordered the Salmon Teriyaki with Spicy Tuna Roll combo. The teriyaki salmon was flavorful, although the slices were a bit thinner compared to what I've had at other sushi spots. The spicy tuna roll was generously portioned and filling enough to make for a satisfying lunch.

The restaurant itself has a clean, modern design and is conveniently located in the Target plaza, where parking is plentiful and easy. Overall, Koki Ku Sushi is a nice addition to the Duarte dining scene, and I'll be back to try more items from their menu.“

“Overall 5 stars:

Rationale:
- tons of treats, snack, to choose from
- raw fish quality looked decent and fresh
- sushi quality is superb for being made in advance
- prices : very reasonable

Only suggestions for a better overall customer experience:
- better organization for the refrigerators
- it's too tight and not enough space to open refrigerator doors without bumping people or bothering others while shopping
- the Yama in LA felt like it has a better organization to it, the space size appears to be similar from what I recall, I may be wrong

Having said that:
- this place is phenomenal and you should definitely give it a try
- staff is incredibly nice
- the quality is top notch
- variety/options are decent
- you won't be disappointed and you'll definitely find yourself returning for more“

“Our server Peter was fantastic. He has a great personality, a genuinely friendly attitude, and never made us feel rushed, which we really appreciated.
The sushi was fresh and delicious. One thing that stood out was that the rolls had a generous amount of fish instead of being mostly rice. In fact, the rice portion was surprisingly light, which I personally loved because it let the quality of the fish shine through.
And the Red Wine Roll is an absolute must try, trust me, you will thank me later.“

“Went here for lunch, had the 4 roll combo. It's a small place. Not many tables, but we ordered quickly amd found a table. Fish seemed fresh, and they have special wrappers on the rolls to keep the nori crisp until you eat it. Nice, quick amd casual. For those concerned about such things, It's just down the block from the Market, and the area in general is a little run down, probably worse at night.“

“I've visited this restaurant four times now, and the experience has consistently been great. The food and service quality are excellent, and the staff is incredibly accommodating. When one of us mentioned not eating raw fish, they prepared several complimentary cooked dishes to ensure we left satisfied. While I have noticed that portion sizes seem slightly smaller than before, I still left feeling full. The kaiseki and shabu are must-tries, and I am already looking forward to returning for their sukiyaki.“

“A Delightful Sushi Experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The sushi was outstanding—fresh, expertly crafted, and beautifully presented. The chef’s special sashimi, were bursting with flavor. The nigiri was a standout, with perfectly seasoned rice and melt-in-your-mouth fish. Service was impeccable; the staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. They even made excellent recommendations based on my preferences. One thing to note: Fillet doesn’t have a liquor license yet, so if you’re someone who enjoys pairing sushi with sake or wine, this might be a consideration. They said it’s coming soon, I can’t wait to come back here again.“

“best japanese rich fllavors unique taste simple fresh and delish“

“WOW! This might be the best and most authentic sushi i’ve ever had in California. The sushi isn’t like anything you would have at your average sushi restaurant. This fish tastes so fresh. And don’t even get me started on the rice. The sushi rice they have is AMAZING. I could eat an entire bowl of it. If you don’t come at least once in your lifetime you’re missing out.“

“Quality food & service at reasonable prices 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“I loved everything I ate (spicy tuna roll and chutoro being my favorites). Everyone working there was so friendly and accommodating!! Shoutout Han at the bar who really just understood me -- every cocktail was delicious. I will 100% be back and recommend to friends.“

“Seabutter, in the heart of Glendale lies this sushi restaurant that is a masterpiece. It is right next to Americana, sadly it has horrible parking but near places like Shake Shack, bourbon steak, In-n-Out, Capital One cafe, BJ’s brewhouse, and I’m quite sure a Starbucks as well Joe & The Juice literally next door.

Every sushi is fresh and tastes delicious, the atmosphere is like you’re a Roman patrician arriving at his Villa where his luxurious life is. It doesn’t look so fancy, but it feels comfy. There’s no trash nor dirt on the floor just clean and has a nice modern look.

The service here is very quick, the wait time is non-existent and the staff are very kind-hearted and quick with orders. When we come here, we are usually give On the house meals which is nice. There’s also a bar area and you can watch them make your sushi!

The food here is the spotlight in the show, it is the best sushi I have ate in my whole entire lifetime as well my whole bloodline. The sushi here is fresh delicious and it’s nice. I showed pictures of non-sushi items like Chicken Teriyaki, and Garlic Edamani, but most of the pictures are just sushi.

In the end, after coming here 50+ times I can agree this is the best sushi place I will ever touch on earth. If there was sushi in heaven, Seabutter will be there.

They also have another restaurant place called The Bar which I will review one day. But other from that, this place is a must-go and is very underrated and overlooked.

PS: before you go here, the parking is absolute garbage due to Americano and other popular places!

Peace✌️“

“Except for the location of the restaurant, which is not easy to find, and a little too much sushi rice, everything else is perfect.“

““Oh wow” the first words that I could come up with when my wife asked me how the food was.
We ordered: Japanese ceviche, Y-not roll, Salmon roll, California roll, yellowtail sushi and halibut sushi.
Everything was absolutely fantastic, fresh and full of flavor.
I highly recommend the yellowtail sushi if you want raw sushi
I recommend the y-not roll if you want a specialty roll, it is a little spicy so beware.
If you want to try something new we recommend the Japanese ceviche, it has the perfect mix of sweet and salty.
Overall you could tell the fish are fresh and not old mush, and even the plating of every dish was admirable.
The service is also fantastic, we were checked on regularly by our servers, had all of our questions answered and even got solid recommendations.
This place is definitely worth traveling for, decent prices too!“

“It was amazing to experience Chef Sago’s delicious and truly artistic meal. My husband and I have eaten so much omakase throughout the years but for some reason every dish we tried here was absolutely something new with ingredients we never knew could be combined. He literally blew our minds away. If you visit his website, his “about” is true to the T. Thank you very much Chef for letting us hop on your journey of culinary excellence for a night and truly have an unforgettable evening. It was beautiful and tantalizing to our taste buds! We will be back and looking forward to our next experience!“

“We came to this restaurant as it is open late and walking distance of the Hyatt place. It is a quaint small restaurant. Great service. Sushi is definitely above average - there are so many good sushi restaurants in LA so tough competition. But within old town Pasadena area, this place is a definite must. Garlic edamame is a must try!“

“I got in pretty much as soon as they open, so I got the special opportunity to get to talk to Kristine. After a lovely conversation and delicious food, I left feeling so full and at peace. The tempura was crispy and airy, the rice was perfectly cooked, the fish in the sushi tasted fresh. I cannot recommend visiting here enough. I am sure it can get busy, as the place is small, but I think that is part of its charm: meeting with a group of strangers for a good meal and a moment of peace before heading back into the world.“

“Salad Dressing is amazing. Parking is horrible. They said 10-15 for my order. 25 minutes and I got a $52 Parking Citation🤬🤬🤬🤬“

“Great setting and great Sushi two thumbs up 👍🏽“

“A Michelin recognized restaurant that’s just perfect for a quiet evening. The atmosphere is chill and the playlist vey ear pleasing and well as the decor. Modern style design that’s chic and comfortable at the same time. We ordered the Wagyu Cheeseburger and Uni Pasta. Both of the dishes were good with flavor but the Uni pasta could’ve used a little more sauce but it’s a preference I guess. The cheeseburger came out looking like a hot mess but it delivered with flavor. The Basqu Cheesecake was the dessert we ordered and it was perfect with flavor and the presentation. Service was attentive and on point most of the time. So if you’re looking for a nice place to have a delicious bite or drinks then definitely check out this place, especially the gorgeous looking bar.“

“a minimal seating and parking area; but amazing service, great atmosphere, and top-notch food! Sushi, soups, bento boxes, you name it! everything is fresh and made to order. I love this gem of a restaurant.

Parking: parking is limited due to it being in a small center.“

“Unsure initially but after reading reviews convince to visit and after ordering fully engulfed! I had the Red Dragon Roll, loved it! My son had the crunchy roll. And then I tried the beef bowl. Delicious. Vert flavorful. And the best part about this spot is that it’s not in the crowed Dtla area. It’s on Cesar Chavez and with plenty of street meter parking. Very manageable. I will be back.“

“Just go and order Omakase. It is the sushi experience of your life!“

“Best sushi in LA! Everything melted in your mouth! The fish is fresh, the price is affordable, and the service is great! It looks like a hole in the wall - but wow :)) We eat there once a week and love it! Drove all the way from Studio City to have dinner there - 2 hours each way in traffic - so that's obviously what it says :)) Haha Just love it!“

“I recently had the chance to dine at Sama Handroll in the Arts District, and it exceeded my expectations. The quality and freshness of the fish were outstanding, and every hand roll was prepared with great attention to detail. The menu offers a creative mix of traditional Japanese flavors and unique dishes that set it apart from other sushi spots.
The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. The atmosphere is modern, welcoming, and perfect for either a casual dinner or a night out with friends.
A few standout items were the hand rolls, grilled dishes, and the excellent presentation throughout the meal. It's clear that a lot of care goes into both the food and the guest experience.
I highly recommend to anyone looking for high-quality sushi and hand rolls in Los Angeles. I'll definitely be back.“

“so far everything I've tried has been delicious!“

“Every bite feels like an artful blend of freshness, flavor, and precision. Good place for catching up with your favorite person�“

“This place is SOOO GOOD!! My friend and I got the spicy tuna and California rolls to split. They come with 12 pieces each and theyre such a good size. We also got the spam musubi and its DELICIOUS! So flavorful and the staff were very very lovely. I recommend ordering before you get there, so the staff have enough time to put love and care into your meal!!! :] I highly recommend this place!!! 😋“

“Great food and great service!“

“Excellent bento dinners. Very generous servings and taste was excellent. Great to take into Dodger stadium!“

“Neighborhood’s Japanese Restaurant with good Value !“

“Each piece of nigiri was exquisite, melted like butter on my tongue! Each one was individually seasoned to perfection, either on the rice or the fish, no soy sauce in sight, and definitely not needed! The fresh ginger was the only garnish, and it had to be the most flavorful I have ever had. Chef Fumio is an absolute artist, and gave us a little info on each piece he served. He obviously takes great pride in his work, and it shows! Best Omakase experience I have had in LA, so far, especially for the price. Went for lunch, but will be back for dinner.“

“An absolute hidden gem! We drove all the way from Santa Monica for a fun night out and were blown away by how exceptional the sushi was. Every bite felt like a surprise — the fish is incredibly fresh, the hand rolls are a must-try, and the sushi rice is easily the best we’ve ever had. For the quality you get, the prices are unbeatable. This spot is top-notch in every way, and we’ll definitely be coming back again and again.“
