Sasabune Glendale

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.

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.

What a wonderful place! On the pricier side, but definitely worth it. My friend and I went for the Omakase meal and it was an exceptional experience. The service was fast and great, and the food was delicious and authentic. You can tell the people working care about their craft. They were generous and nice to us. Would definitely come again!

5 Star Dining Experience and Freshest of Sashami. Great Value on the Happy Hour Menu!

I’m not used to “upscale sushi” or I guess authentic really. The place really caught me off guard by how nice it was and how impeccable the service is from start to finish. They give you a little warmed wet towel to clean your hands when you walk in, it was a nice touch.

I cannot stress how much the happy hour menu made it easy for me. It was a very fair price for what I received and was extremely filling, I got a plate of sashimi to start, 7 sushi pieces, a crab hand roll, oysters and mussels, and a Sapporo beer to wash it down. Everything was delicious and high quality.

Although a little hard to find and nestled between a loud Olive Garden, it was such a nice hidden surprise, would definitely go back to support more!

I love to come to this restaurant every time! Food is always tastes good, chef is always kind and good dude!!

My second time omakase at Sasabune. I’ve tried multiple locations or other restaurants, but one in Glendale is the best. The location is hard to find, but if you direct to California Pizza Kitchen, they are right next to it.

We’ve ordered Japanese omakase and it was phenomenal experience. More than enough and fresh sushi and sashimi.

It’s as good as you eating sushi in Japan! It reminded us of sushi in Tsukiji in Japan. We’ll definitely come back again!!

I went to this place for my wife’s birthday. The serve was really attentive and the chef’s hand roll towards the end was truly amazing!

It was truly a hidden gem! Our first time omakase experience, they made it unforgettable. We tend to only get Salmon, Yellowtail, or any basic fish, but Omakase covers them all and some fish that I have never tried. I will definitely come back:)

Food was fresh and aesthetically pleasing We ordered several sashimi plates and were very pleased with the over quantity and service. Highly recommend the scallop plate and their delicious hand rolls. Chef came to table and made each rolls!
