Sushi Restaurant 4.4 (57)


Sasabune Express is a charming sushi spot known for its fresh fish and authentic Japanese flavors.

The intimate atmosphere, however, can feel cramped due to the small dining space, but this does not detract from the overall experience.

" Amazing little sushi joint in Pacific Palisades! The sushi is fresh and reasonably priced. My favorites were the salmon nigiri and the spicy scallop roll, which were both delightful. Make sure to call ahead; the limited seating means you might have to wait for a table, especially on weekends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredibly satisfying sushi! I had the salmon nigiri and could have eaten a dozen of them. The fresh was outstanding, and the flavor profile was perfectly balanced. Also enjoyed the great value offered here. A small hidden gem worth finding every time we’re in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" You must try the spicy tuna roll! It was one of the best I've ever had. The fish seems to be sourced from the finest places and you can really tell the difference. However, the space is quite small, so expect to be sitting close to other diners. This didn't bother us too much since the food was so good! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to my visit to Sasabune Express but ended up a bit disappointed. While the fish was generally fresh, a couple of pieces didn’t meet my expectations. The service was okay but not as friendly as I had hoped. The space is quite cozy, so just be prepared for that. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just visited Sasabune and I thought the sushi was solid, but it didn’t blow me away. Maybe my expectations were too high considering the rave reviews. The service was friendly, but the wait for our food was longer than expected, especially during lunchtime rush. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience at Sasabune Express! The sushi was some of the freshest I have ever had. The spicy tuna was to die for, and the fish belly had a wonderful texture. We were welcomed warmly by the staff and felt at home. Small but cozy! I look forward to returning soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this restaurant after seeing it highly recommended in a local food guide. While the sushi was decent, I found the variety to be quite limited, and the portions smaller than anticipated. Service was amicable but I expected a bit more based on the reputation. I might try it again, but I have high expectations next time. " (*Curated Review*)
