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.

" A must-visit sushi spot! The fish was incredibly fresh and the rolls just fantastic. The owner came over to chat, which made us feel welcomed. It can get crowded but that's a testament to its popularity. Definitely a place I want to revisit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love how Sasabune Express embraces its small space, creating an intimate setting. They take pride in their food quality, and it shows. The dinner was excellent, and I really enjoyed the udon as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a good experience overall, but there were some inconsistencies with the freshness of the fish. Some items were excellent, while others had an off smell. The service was quite good; the staff were friendly and attentive, which made the experience more enjoyable. The atmosphere was snug, and we had to wait a little for a seat as it was busy. I appreciate BYOB options, which allows for a more personalized dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a hidden gem! We stumbled upon Sasabune Express after a trip to the Getty Villa and it did not disappoint. The sushi was fresh, and the portion sizes were just right. The little touches like personalized service made it a memorable evening. The decor had a nice Japanese aesthetic too! " (*Curated Review*)

" We tried the signature sashimi platter and it was stunning! Each slice was tender and full of flavor. The restaurant's ambiance was warm but a bit cramped, especially during busy hours. Service was quick and friendly, which made everything more enjoyable. Highly recommend! " (*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*)
