I’m not even joking when I say this the best sushi I’ve ever had in my life. Like this was so good I had to write a review. Me and my friend accidentally stumbled upon this place, had no idea what was in store for us. This was the best surprise I’ve had in a while, the sushi was excellent. Now I’m looking at the reviews and seeing even more stuff we could’ve tried. Not to worry though, we will be back.

Extremely fresh omakase and great service

Solid sushi place, relaxed vibe and pretty good service.
We got the Japanese Omakase set, and the standouts were the uni, tuna, and snapper. The octopus and scallop were great as well.
Not a bad value for everything that you get, so would recommend it you want Omakase without breaking the bank

I LOVE their dinner omakase - the sushi melts in your mouth, it’s very filling, and I enjoy the variety that they provide. Highly authentic and fresh, you can’t compare to other places like Sugarfish. The Brentwood location is far better than the Beverly Hills one (much better quality food and service).

Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. A chefs choice kind of restaurant, they allow for dietary restrictions which makes the experience enjoyable to all. Definitely one of my favorite spots in LA for high quality fish.

Sushi at its best. To noisy for a date, especially when busy.

Haven’t been here in a while but I swear the lunch special had a better offering a couple years ago.
The quality of the fish is still on point and fresh but the amount you get leaves most people hungry after the meal.
Was greeted and just asked if we had been here before and gave no menu. We went with the tried and true lunch special but was surprised that it only came with…
Small soup and salad 3 pieces nigiri (sushi) 1 chirashi style bowl (sashimi on rice, nothing else) 1 roll
All for $39 or really $50 with tax and tip

The sushi was excellent but the staff expecting 32% tip kind of ruined it for me and my friends last night. We all ordered omakase and our total dinner bill was $900+. After tax bill this ended up being $1000+ (this will be important a little later). As our group was leaving the waitress came after us, and asked if anything was wrong with the service, saying we only tipped 10%. We felt really confused, so we gave them another $100 so we can leave without being hassled and make a scene at what was supposed to be a really upscale restaurant.
When I got home, I was still confused about why the tip would be low (10%?) and re-did my math. The pretax bill was $900+, with the tips our total payment was 121.4% of the pretax bill amount, but 110.89% the post-tax bill. So that's where the waitress came up with the 10% tip figure! She expected us to pay tip on the post-tax amount of $1000+ instead of tipping on the pre-tax $900+! In a less expensive restaurant the pre-tax/post-tax wouldn't be a big difference, but at an expensive Japanese Omakase restaurant pre-tax/post-tax makes a large difference on tip calculations! With the extra $100 we gave we ended up paying 132.2% of the pretax bill and 120.79% of the post tax amount. But we should have only paid tip based on the pre-tax amount as the restaurant is not providing any service on the tax portion. Expecting tips on the post-tax bill just rubs me the wrong way so I'll probably never return to this restaurant again.
PICS IN SEQUENTIAL ORDER. Lunch special. Here my honest review!
Pulled up to Sasabune, drippin’ in heat, Salmon, albacore, tuna—can’t be beat, Buttery smooth, that sushi so tight, Every single bite had me high on the flight.
Albacore donburi? Man, that rice was weak, Weird lettuce on top, that ain’t my peak, But that blue crab roll? Straight up crack, Flavors on point, no cap, that’s a fact.
Chef in the back, like a samurai boss, Blade in his hand, no time for loss, Every cut clean, like a ninja on grind, Fish under attack, sharp in his mind.
Hostess said, “No Cali rolls, we keep it real, Straight up like home, that’s the deal u feel,” Server slid through, showed me how to flex, Soy on the salmon, tuna gets no checks.
Service on lock, they move like pros, Sasabune’s got that hustle, everybody knows, Lunch was cool, just tweak that plate, Crab roll’s king, can’t underestimate, Sushi Sasabune, got that vibe, I’ll be back soon, best believe I’ll slide.
Thanks

No frills Omakase for dinner.. and a nice lunch special. If you're looking for spicy tuna or teriyaki... look elsewhere since they don't serve those items.
However, if you want some top quality sashimi & nigiri in a casual setting with sake & beer, Sasabune will hit the spot!

This is what sushi should taste like. Amazing experience with the freshest and most carefully prepared food. Service was spectacular. Don’t forget to order mochi! Parking garage in adjacent block was really great for us to park in if you can’t find parking along street.

The quality of the sushi is probably the best I've had anywhere in the world. No fancy variations. Pure sushi at its best.
