    Bulgogi yubu and salmon avocado hand roll.
    Daniel H.

    Just checked out Kingyubu in Montrose and came away impressed. I tried the Grilled Bulgogi Yubu, Salmon Avocado Hand Roll, and Unagi Avocado Cupbop. Definitely more food than one person needs, but I wanted to sample a few different items so I could give a fair review. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. As a bonus, they're currently offering a free lemonade with purchases of $30 or more this week. The lemonade was refreshing and paired really well with the meal. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. Also service was great and the owner was friendly. Great addition to the Montrose area. Ambiance is nice and modern looking.

    First week of opening and Kingyubu is off to a strong start. Their ordering process is easy, the yubu choices are top notch and the ones we got were all tasty. I especially love the rice and how they season it. We got a free miso and lemonade because of it being the first week. The space is small but mighty and you can easily order for dine in or to go. I can see older folks having a hard time doing digital orders or not being served so this place is definitely geared towards the foodies, younger crowd or those more tech savvy. If you're passing by stop in and place a quick order. You don't have to come for a full menu or dining experience, you could literally order and take a "snack" item for the road while you do your farmer's market shop or various Honolulu events. So excited to have this new place as an option in Montrose. We'll be back!

    Very good and generous portions. The woman who owns this place is incredibly attentive and sweet. You can tell she really cares about customer experience. Highly recommend the house sauce. Great place for a quick bite to eat!

    I'm glad they have one opened up here in Montrose! I love this place! The food is so yummy, the Yubu is already huge for just 1 of them! Their kimbop is also very filling if you're not interested in the tofu pockets I love the side of miso I got so full that I had to share my meal with someone!

    Tiny portion for $6.97. Size compared to a small Roku controller

    I was super excited to try these because of the YouTube vloggers. Lemme just say the price already was a turn off for $6.97 each. But I was hoping the flavor would make up for it. Nope! Each one was moist and soggy and really sweet? I thought the fried tofu wraps were supposed to be crispy? It's packed with mostly super sweet seasoned rice and the toppings were just that, to top the very top only. I dunno why each one tastes the same, SWEET and all were very moist. It was an experience we had to try because all the hype. We've been bamboozled

    really delicious and fresh food, went around 1pm - they just opened 3 days ago so there weren't many people. service was pretty quick and cashier was nice

    I was so happy to see Kingyubu open in my neighborhood! The meal was just as satisfying as I had hoped, and everything was delicious. I can definitely see myself coming back often.

We came for a friend's birthday party, and DEVOURED. Started off with the Matcha IPA beer (green deliciousness, a bit strong on the hop + matcha so beware), and ordered a few appetizers to start--edamame, karaage, seared albacore with onions, yellowtail jalapeño, ceviche (omg so good), shishito peppers--everything was amazing! And we were off to a great start. We ordered a few rolls, and sushi, and hadn't realized that each portion came with 2 pieces so we definitely ate a lot. Everything was very fresh, and the quality was amazing. As if it couldn't be better, the service was superb! The owners came to check on us multiple times, ensuring everything was according to our liking and nothing was amiss. Can't believe it was my first time here! Will definitely be back for my sushi cravings!!

The restaurant was pretty empty due to the extreme hot weather. We ordered the lunch specials and they were really fresh and delicious. (like their restaurant name) The server lady was very friendly and answered the questions that my daughter had. I accidently left my key after the lunch and they kept it safely for me. This restaurant deserve more business and highly recommend. Obviously we will be back this restaurant again sometime soon.

    Every year for my birthday, I ask for omakase, and since we live nearby and have heard such great…read morethings about this place, my fiancé made a reservation for us to finally try it out. This spot is truly an absolute gem. We were warmly welcomed by the host and seated right away at the bar. The chef greeted us personally, and although there was a bit of a language barrier, he was incredibly sweet and patient while explaining each course and where the fish was sourced from. You could really tell how much care and pride went into every piece. Everything tasted so fresh and beautifully prepared. Each course flowed perfectly into the next, and by the end of the meal, we were surprisingly very full (which doesn't always happen with omakase!). To top it all off, we were treated to a homemade matcha cake with a candle, which was such a thoughtful and memorable birthday touch. It wasn't too busy during our visit, which we actually loved because it made the entire experience feel more intimate, just like other omakase experiences we've had. Highly recommend this place for celebrating special occasions, anniversaries, or birthdays. We'll definitely be back.

    Went to Olive Garden with friends, but found the corporatized, faux Italian to be totally…read moredissatisfying. So after the gathering ended, I went upstairs to Sushi Sasabunè since I knew from my previous experience at their Brentwood mother restaurant to be excellent. The interior is "Shibui" which in Japanese can mean artistically austere, minimalist. There is a Sushi bar, but it is reserved for Omakasè (oh mah kah seh) only. So, I couldn't sit and interact directly with the counter Sushi chef that day who was informative but aloof which is typical in Japan. I only spoke with the chef upon entry to determine what kind of specialties that he may offer. I asked for only Èdo Maè (eh doh mah eh) Nigiri Sushi that had either unusual ingredients or techniques which he delivered in spades. My young waiter né Hiroshima made up for the lack of the Sushi chef's personality delivering the various rare item Sushi with a warm conviviality. 1) Shiro Maguro/Albacore: Ultra thin, pinkish orange meat that is naturally found in between the sinews which have to be extracted by hand with tweezers. Double layered on top of hand formed Nigiri (nee ghee ree) Sushi rice, it is plush, velvety, melt in your mouth with delicately meaty Umami. Truly a food for the Gods. 2) Nodo Guro: Black throat perch that is again even more plush white meat to the point of being a touch mushy with a soupçon of sweet meatiness. To add contrast, the skin is flamed seared to add firmness and smokey accent. 3) Katsuo: Bonito is wrapped & cured in rice straw. Then the straw is burned to add light smoke. The dark crimson meat is satisfyingly beefy-meaty with taste of blood minerality from being aged like a well aged steak. The Garlic Katsuo Dashi Shōyu/soy sauce, which also seems rich in Katsuo Dashi fond de cuisine, is a good complementary addition as well as a bit of refreshing medicinal freshly ground ginger root to offset the complex Umami flavours. 1-3a) Fuku Komachi Sakè (sah keh) from Akita, Japan is astringent, dry, cleansing with fruit notes of green grape, loquat, unripe & ripe pear, overly ripe peach. There's a bitter & aged aftertaste but later, a sweet note, touch woody. Overall, a very sophisticated Sushi restaurant that has specialized cuisine for those who are interested in educating their palates. No county fair rolls that use thick sweet eel sauce, mayonnaise, Sriracha hot sauce. 4+ stars.

    We stopped in on Saturday around 5p and were seated immediately. Having never experienced Seabutter…read more(it's listed as Seabutter on Google but it's the same place), we were excited! They have a few options for us gfdf folks. They seem to know the menu well enough to make specific suggestions. I went with the Luxe 3 roll with HYE, negi and truffle salmon. Wow-- each one was delicious and didn't even need soy sauce (they do have a gf shoyu). I was so impressed, I ordered an additional blue crab roll. You have to eat them fast- every second counts as the nori softens. The chefs were really friendly as were the staff. Everyone will probably compare this to Kazunori, which I haven't been to yet but my friend said it's comparable. Give it a try! I'll definitely be back.

The menu isn't too expensive, which is nice so you're not paralyzed by indecision. You can either go for à la carte or go for hand rolls sets. My friend went for the Taste of the Bar set and I did the four hand roll set. We shared a blue crab don. I say, if you're gonna come here, you should just go all out and do the taste of the bar set. I did the four hand roll set and it came with pretty standard handrolls that you can kind of get anywhere. (if you like predictability then this is a great set.) however if you want to try what The Bar is better known for, then the Taste of the Bar or the Lux set gives you a good idea of their special handrolls. The salmon truffle isn't too truffle-y and the HYE is indeed good. I'd recommend going for these instead of standard handrolls since you can literally get those anywhere. The blue crab don was good but nothing so spectacular that I'd have to go out my way to get it again. Good to have once and it was nice to go back to between handrolls for the avocado bits. But otherwise I'd skip in the future. Nice experience. Cute place while at Americana. They do not validate parking.

I can't believe I haven't posted a review all these years but we always end up in a food coma bc everything we've had there is so good! Some of our fav dishes to order: yellowtail handroll, toro uni caviar truffle sushi (my fav), Kama toro (fiancé's fav), glazed shrimp, mushroom medley, pork belly skewers, sweet shrimp, Jorge's special (live scallops), ikura sushi, firefly octopus (seasonal octopus that comes out only during cherry blossom season) which Chef Jesse introduced us to along with the Kama toro and we end with dessert: unagi, snow crab hand roll &/ blue crab hand roll. The ambience is very chill and we love their decor and artwork on the walls and the staff is very nice and accommodating. We're surprised they haven't gotten a Michelin star yet but they should!

We wanted to get a little bit of everything. To start our meal, we went with chicken karaage and their rice cake sampler. The rice cake sampler was basically crispy rice with varied minced tuna/lobster/shrimp and the karaage was very nicely fried chicken thigh served with a dynamite sauce and a lemon wedge. I got an order of red snapper nigiri and Hokkaido scallop nigiri and these were delicious; however, it was quite heavy on the yuzu and soy sauce. Their handrolls are what they do best here. The best handroll we had was their seared scallop handroll, which came with Hokkaido scallop, shiso leaf, rice, and yuzu. Equally memorable was their Seaweed special, which came with ikura, minced negitoro, shiso leaf, and uni. In both of these handrolls, what was impressive was how much protein they stuffed into the roll. They put so much into a handroll, it was almost like a mini sushi burrito. We came here from Long Beach; however, if we make the drive back to Glendale to Seaweed Handroll bar, we will definitely order more of their handrolls as they have great flavor balance, fair pricing, and they're very filling.
