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

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

This is not a "dockside" sushi place. The best seafood from all over the world. The sushi chef explains the orgin of the fish you're eating along with the recommended "proper" way to eat it. Don't bring preconceived notions of sushi, wait until you get home to have California roll. It's true that if you want the authentic experience, "trust... more

I love sushi and this place sets the bar for all other sushi joints. Some come close but by far, the sushi at Sushi Sasabune is simply incredible. Chef Seiji Kumagawa considers his omakase (chef's menu) a culinary experience. Of all sushi Chef's I've met over the years, he is one of the most passionate I have had a pleasure... more

Sushi Sasabune...their tag line is "Trust Me" and it is on target From the moment you walk in the door or call a fellow named "Tat" who wished he'd been a Marine Sergeant meets you. (not greets). Tat stated it out pure and simple: This is sushi - sushi only , no tempura, no beef teriyaki etc and no California... more
