I've been to many sushi restaurants/bars in the valley. Asanebo from my experience is hands down the best sushi you can get. The service is immaculate, the best I've ever had at a sushi spot. I wouldn't be able to tell you something bad I've had there. Been going for a while now and everything is great.

Ventura has a million sushi spots and I've tried a bunch ... this place here I'm mad that it's open at 5 pm I'd be here all the time !!! Loved loved loved the yellowtail sashimi .. when I say I did the little dance as soon as it hit my palate I DID !!! It can be pricey it's literally fancy HOWEVER .. if you want one piece of sushi , that is 30 bucks just for one .. put all your money on that salmon caviar baby ... IT WAS THE PERFECT BITE!!!! Ten out of ten I'll be back !!!! Just yum chefs kiss!

Best sashimi/sushi in the neighborhood. Service was also quite lovely. This restaurant is located in a tiny strip mall with valet only parking. You can also find plenty of street parking. We skipped the omakase as they were all sushi selections and opted for a la carte sashimi. Photos below note everything we ordered but the standouts were: . scallop citrus yuzu . Mirugai (geoduck) . Toro Sashimi Though the sea bass miso soup and Hirame Truffle are recommended by others, I wouldn't necessarily order those again. The server does a great job of making suggestions and announcing the plates when served. Tip: Restaurant has small seating capacity so a reservation is the way to go. 4% service fee (presumably for credit card)

One of the best sushi I ate! The sushi melts in your mouth, the fish is amazing, just like in Tokyo. The service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is great! Now one of my favorite sushi restaurants.

Hands down best food I ever had in my life. Everyone is kind, funny and helpful. Its a small place but perfect for a shared experience with a partner. I believe everyone should try their food at least once in their lifetime. Its outstanding and memorable.

Our first dish was our favorite, but the rest were just ok and pretty pricey for just ok.

This place is definitely a culinary experience not to miss out on. I left this place absolutely joyous after what was definitely one of the best meals I have had in recent times. The flavor explosion for this meal is definitely one for the books and you bet ya girl will be returning. Now for what you all came here for....drumroll.... First up is the sunomono salad with crab. This was a very nice way to start my meal. The crab was plentiful in ratio to the seaweed and cucumbers and there was plenty of dressing to accompany every bit. Who doesn't like enough dressing in their salad to cover every bite? Next came the Hamachi Special which was a perfect blend of a citrusy flavor due to the Spicy Citrus Soy Sauce as well and salty. Next up is the unagi sushi. If you've ever had unagi and you're a fan like me, this dish does not need a review. I unagi. The crab special roll is a crab roll that comes with mayonnaise and either ponzu or yuzu mixed into the crab (sorry, I forgot which one). I personally didn't pick up any of the ponzu/yuzu flavor but it was great nonetheless. The Tai Yuzu (snapper) was also a citrusy flavor explosion that came with pepper paste. The two flavors melded perfectly. Don't go heavy on the pepper paste as it is a bit salty - little goes a long way. The ono and halibut sushi also paired well as prepared. No need for soy sauce. The wagyu was simply perfection! There was no need to use any of the condiments it came with. My only issue with this dish is that it was put "on hold" so it wasn't exactly too warm when I received it. Still was tasty af though. Dessert wasn't a must have but I did it anyways. Nothing to write home about. Feel free to skip dessert. I was on the fence regarding doing the omakase but I always worry that what will be chosen for me will not meet my standards as if I had made the choices myself. I know, control issues lol. So, I went a la carte and do not regret any of my choices. All of the items you see pictured were consumed by one person - ya girl. This part is for the boys. Boys, don't bring a girl here to try to impress her unless you have the bread - see the bill. This is place is not cheap. Men, you already know how to treat a woman right. Tips: Make ressies. This place is small and they do ask for the table back after 90 mins. Parking here is not easy as it is Studio City - valet is $9. Lastly, dishes are meant to be eaten as prepared so don't go ruining a perfectly great piece of sushi with soy sauce - the staff will recommend how it should be eaten.

This place has been on our list to try for quite some time now yesterday we decided to stop by for an early reservation. The staff was very kind and welcoming. Upon arrival. The sushi was wonderful although I will say the prices were far behind what they needed to be for the quality. The restaurant itself was very cozy and clean. if you're going to go here, I would say go for the Omakase instead of ordering from the menu itself.
Amazing sushi! Super friendly server as well! I had the best carpaccio as well. The entire restaurant was super clean and welcoming.

This is the best in Los Angeles. Consistently wonderful. Always new tastes replace old ones and always exciting. Never disappoints

One of the two best sushi spots I've ever been to and sushi is my favorite cuisine. Honestly, if you end up here you can't go wrong. Everything you get will be incredibly fresh, unique and a satisfying dish. I recommend getting simple fresh sashimi or the steak that they prepare on the hot stones. Absolutely phenomenal!

Used to be Michelin quality. No longer: food quality has deteriorated significantly. Very sad.
