Sasabune is a regular favorite of mine. It's expensive (2 people costs about $130 for the omikase style ""trust me"" special with 1 sake and tip), but it's worth it. Chef Nobi chooses the freshest, finest fish himself every morning from the fishing docks and prepares mouth watering delacacies in the ""traditional way"" (cold fish on warm rice, no california roll, no spicy tuna, arrigato). If you sit at the sushi bar, it's chef's choice, but you won't be dissapointed, and the omikase style of service leaves you free to concentrate on good conversation with your partner. The sushi is so amazing, my then boyfriend got down on one knee and proposed to me. Of course, in such a setting, how could I possibly say no? We've been married 6 years and still drive from the San Fernando Valley to visit Chef Nobi.
Pros: Cozy and relaxed, Seating best @ 5:30pm
Cons: Expensive, Crowded after 7pm
