Go to the one in Santa Monica. If you already found this place and think this place is good, go to their Santa Monica location so they can actually blow your mind.

The best taste in the world!!! I have travel around and there is nothing better . There's no words . My favorite omakase , the taste is amazing !!!!!

This was a Japanese restaurant my husband and I discovered by surprise — and it was such a wonderful find. It’s very quiet; we sat down around 5 PM. They have some special items on their menu, and every dish is beautifully crafted. The sashimi is a must-order. For dessert, we tried the “Magic Grape” — it felt whimsical and unexpected!

The overall atmosphere is perfect for a date or a celebration. The restaurant is located inside an office building, so you might have to look a bit carefully because the signage outside isn’t very obvious.

Highly recommended — this is definitely a place I would return to. I really love all the thoughtful details in their service, even their tableware has a sense of aesthetics and design.

Service was great.
My Japanese wife absolutely loves the fresh food. Me as a vegan had edema over rice. But this was for her 90th birthday. I would have been ok with rice only.

This place was amazing. Our chef and waiter were both very attentive and super nice. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming and the food was really good. We did the omakase. Their desserts are amazing too!! Worth every penny.

Dining at Sasabune Glendale was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first bite, the omakase meal felt like a story unfolding — a journey across the sea, where each course revealed another chapter of flavors, textures, and artistry. Every piece of fish was pristine, each preparation balanced and intentional, and the flow of the meal built a sense of anticipation and wonder.

What makes the experience even more special is its surprising location. Tucked inside a mall, right next to a California Pizza Kitchen, you’d never guess such a world-class omakase experience could be hidden here. But once you sit down and the first dish arrives, you know you’ve discovered something truly unique.

Sasabune Glendale is not just a restaurant — it’s an unforgettable adventure for anyone who loves sushi at its highest level.

A classic in its prime. Looking for Edo-mae style sushi in its classic form? Look no further. Not inexpensive, but given the curiously supersized inflation on Japanese omakase in Los Angeles, now a relative bargain.

Marvelous food and service! Had the Japanese Omakaze. I've had Omakaze many times before. Everything was terrific, but the one thing that blew my mind was the blue crab handroll at the end. The most amazing feature of the handroll? The nori! (Seaweed wrap). I've always wondered why some nori at the Japanese grocery near me are more expensive than others (like, crazy expensive!). Now I know! So crunchy, and subtly delicious! Try the blue crab handroll!!

The staff at Sasabune are exceptionally friendly and accommodating, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. While the prices are on the higher side, the exceptional quality of the sushi and the meticulous attention to detail make it well worth it. This is truly authentic, top-tier sushi—an experience that leaves a lasting impression on your palate. I highly recommend for your next special sushi occasion!

This is the best and freshest sushi in LA. Truly a hidden gem. My friend and I did the $200 omakase and it was honestly worth every penny.

I loved the anago, toro, crab, oyster, uni!! And the matcha dessert 🤤

Great service and high quality Japanese food! I’ll definitely be back, thank you Chef!!

Easy to park since they validate!

Top notch traditional edomae omakase, fantastic quality fish flown in from all over the world, rice was perfect, chef was a master of his craft. Wow.

(They also have non-omakase options and a happy hour, but the move here is the omakase trust me)

Been to the NY, HNL, and other LA original location. Not as good as it used to be for the price.

Glendale is lucky to have such an incredible Chef and restaurant. It's honestly like stepping into a high end Ginza restaurant in Tokyo, but right here in LA.
