Sasabune Express — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I was a tempted to give this place an even lower rating because I was so disappointed. I got the salmon, scallop, yellowtail, and albacore nigiri with a blue crab hand roll. The salmon and scallop nigiri were good and I would recommend those, but the yellowtail and albacore were off (they even had a smell to them that didn’t seem right). I was hungry so I drenched them in the sauce I was given and ate them anyways. Texturally they were good though. The blue crab roll was the real driver of this review. It was incredibly fishy. I can’t remember tasting sushi that fishy in a long time, especially not from somewhere with such high ratings. I took one bite and couldn’t stand it. Not even soy sauce would mask the fishy-ness, I ended up giving it to my dog so that it didn’t go to waste but much too fishy for me. Will not be coming back here...

There were a few tables for outdoor dining & we stopped by starving for an early dinner after some errands. We both got the sasabune set, & additionally two ikura gunkan, two ame ebi with perfectly fried heads, & a yellowtail scallion hand roll. The plates were very filling. The fish slices were generous. The shrimp head was literally the best version of that I've had in so long I can't remember. The server was extremely kind & quick. Helped us feel less awkward dining out during these weird times. Each fish was served with perfect condiments & scored just right to accentuate its own flavor. Fantastic quality sushi for a really...

This is the best place to eat in Pacific Palisades by far. Quick and simple sushi and shashmi menu which is really mostly setup as a set price affair for different portion sizes of mixed sushi and rolls. Like Sugarfish in a more traditional environment. Excellent value for the high quality and location. Small place so make reservations or expect a wait for most evenings. Lunch is an excellent way to experience the menu.
