Sasabune has the best fish in Los Angeles, hands down. There's plenty of sushi joints in LA--most of them awful--but Sasabune is the real deal. What you give up in decor you get back in amazing fish.
Trust Nobi. His fish is immaculate and his secret sauces are divine. The chef's special menu is amazing and consistently delicious, and it never contains anything 'weird'. However, all the various Japanese delicacies are available for the asking: abalone, uni, sweet shrimp, he's got it all.
Yes, the rice here is room temp and yes you should eat with your hands so it doesn't fall apart. That is the traditional way things work in the world of sushi. Anyone who has anything negative to say about the fish at Sasabune is clearly ignorant about fish. Utter perfection.
Closed Sat & Sundays because Nobi is an avid golfer.
Pros: best fish in LA, chef's special menu, easy parking
