If I could give it 0 stars I would. Sloooooow service. Wasabi was not created correctly, close to zero bite. Not worth the price. I had better food and service at Panda Express. My wife would rather eat at Safeway's food counter. Save the money, drive to L.A. and enjoy real sushi at Sasabune. more

The Party: 70-year old grandma that does not like sushi, picky 6-year old child that only likes pasta, 41-year old that eats sushi infrequently, and a 35-year old that loves sushi (me). The Food: Outstanding! The 6-year old that did not like much of anything devoured the teriyaki chicken with noodles. She talked about her food on the way home.... more

Zenbu shines from the moment you walk in the door. This is a surprisingly chic place that really has created a mood. It could be the minimal lighting, lavish use of flowers, and candles- but no matter it works! Lots of pretty Mommys enjoying the excellent food and good vibe. The menu is pretty typical fare short of their twist... more

This is the best Japanese restaurant in the world - or so my daughter has told me when I want to compare something to it. And they did not disappoint me this year when I called them from Australia to make a special birthday night for my daughter. First Kristy, then Jacqueline - went that extra mile to accommodate every... more
