Sushi Sasabune Where do I begin? This place from the outside looks like a regular run-of-the-mill sushi joint. I came in thinking I've been to ALL of the top-tiered NYC sushi palaces as well as in San Diego, San Fransisco and LA and I was ready to poo-poo this place. Oh how wrong I was. This place rules with an... more

Sushi done their way and nothing wrong with that. Absolutely loved this restaurant! The food was great. Favorite dish was squid stuffed with blue crab. Others were very good, albcore, toro, and unagi all delicious. You cannot go wrong with the chef choice. I found the staff to be very polite. They were prescriptive with the way food was to... more

We went midweek and ate without a reservation. You have a choice of ordering regular(a la carte) or the Chef's Menu. The Chef's Menu is an "eat what the chef makes" meal. It could be something incredible or something you may not want. We wussed out and ordered regular. The sushi and sashimi are outstanding. It practically melted in my... more

Went early to Sasabune for my wife's birthday Tue, 8/11/09. Had read the reviews & was expecting the best sushi & sushi "Nazi" waiters. The restaurant decor appeared to be what you might find in traditional Japan. The waiters came across rather snooty. We wanted to try some sake & asked for recommendations. He suggested the mid-range stuff & gave... more

Everything was delicious and amazingly authentic. The chef's menu is rather interesting in that you must eat your fish in the exact manner specified by the chef/waiter. However, it makes for a very interesting and delicious dining experience. more

We sat at the sushi bar, and had omakase as it is this restaurant's rule. The fish was to kill for, I'm gonna have to kill somebody in to earn the fee to pay my cc bill. so I down graded them on value. But the fish here is the best. The seafood comes from all over the world. I'm... more

I was told this would be the best sushi I ever ate... Well since I eat sushi at least 3 times a week, I was really looking forward to a great meal. I was shocked as I pulled up with my wife and my son, and saw an awful looking restaurant. Being optimistic we went in to find the worst... more

I am a very picky mouth and this place has the best sushi I’ve ever had. I had good sushi in Los Angeles but just not as good. Now I have even pickier mouth for sushi. The location isn’t very convenience since I am staying at Waikiki but it definitely worth the ride. We had the chef special so he... more

No words can describe how good the food is at this place. It has ruined sushi for me forever since I cannot eat it anywhere else. You can expect>$100/person. Worth it. more
