    I did not know about this gem of a sushi restaurant was tucked in this low key parking lot! I was recommended by a friend of mine and this place did not disappoint! Some of us ordered the Omakase and really enjoyed it. And some of us ordered sushi and hand rolls and to be honest everything was delicious. The fish was fresh and was like butter! The staff was very patient and thorough with explaining each omakase dish. The restaurant is on the smaller side but very nice for a date. It's dimly lit and fairly quiet. It was an overall amazing dinner and can't wait to come back!

    You had me at omakase! We both had the regular omakase and from the first bite to the last I was delighted with the freshness of the fish, the simplicity of the flavors and taste of each delicate bite. As each plate was placed on the table the waitress let us know what was being served, then if we should eat one or the other first and also if we should use soy sauce or not. Everything was fabulous but I will say my favorite was the tuna and the butterfish. The blue crab handroll at the end is given on my top of the list and great way to end the meal. Located in a small plaza with a small parking lot although we were able to find parking pretty easily. Ambiance is casual yet nice.

    The color is off and it looked soggy and more like old raw beef

    I used to live in Los Angeles, and ate here many times. I ordered into my hotel. The spicy tuna looked very weird, and I took half a bite which I shouldn't have. I started vomitting and feel so sick now.

    Boyfriend took me here for a birthday dinner 05/2022, which was a really nice gesture! We got the Japanese omakase course for $170pp at table service. Was not a great experience at all, service just dropped off the pieces as chef made it without explanation sometimes and the pieces sometimes lacked flavor/tasted still frozen Was our first omakase experience together, though we've had it before separately- and it was not good :( so sad Go somewhere else and have your money better spent

    Came here with some friends for omakase. It was pretty easy to get a reservation. Small parking lot but, we were able to find parking pretty easily. Our table was waiting for us and the servers worked well together to attend to our party. I enjoyed the regular omakase while other people in our group got Japanese omakase. Great place to have a conversation with a group of friends. We bought some champagne and while opening the bottle the waitress spilled some of the champagne. She apologized and brought us a small bottle of preseco. I thought that was a classy touch!

    I was kinda hesitant about this place due to the reviews from their other branch. Our experience is definitely the opposite of those bad reviews. We booked through OpenTable on a weekday. We were the first customers during their opening. We had an amazing service from the waitresses, they are so attentive. Our water glasses were never empty. The sushi are so fresh. We ordered the Omakase Course (about ~$90 per person). My partner who has been a fan sushi attested how fresh and smooth the cut of each sushi was. The presentation is just okayC nothing really special. We had probably 12-15 different kinds of sushi. It was so worth it. My favorite was the butterfish. The sushi place is tucked into business plaza so there's a parking lots but it could get pretty busy.

    Service - Not good Food - Very good Pros: - Rice to fish ration was perfect! Not too much rice & the fish on top was a good portion. Thick slice of fish. No skimping on the fish which I LOVED! - Fish was very fresh - They brought 2 pieces of sushi at a time which was a good pace. - Perfect lighting inside the restaurant. Not too dark but not too bright for a sushi restaurant - Servers came by frequently, so my drink was always refilled. Cons: - I wish the wasabi was fresh. Considering the price of this restaurant, I would've wanted the wasabi to be the real & fresh kind. Not the fake American kind. - Sushi rice was not traditional (As a person from Japan, I can tell you that the rice was not authentic, but nonetheless good) - ***THE SERVICE & SERVERS: Rude! And did not speak good English and was very difficult to understand. When we asked for clarification on one of the sushi, one of the server rolled her eyes and sighed. And every time they brought our plates out, they kind of just tossed It on the table. All of the ladies serving us did not have good attitudes and were not pleasant. Also, a minute after they seated us, they came and asked for our drinks and appetizers. We asked for a couple more minutes and they just stayed hovering over us which made us feel a bit uncomfortable. It was a bummer that the servers were rude and the service here was poor. This restaurant would be a lot better & a lot more recommendable if the servers were better and more personable and kind. I am glad that the sushi was great; however, considering the cost of the sushi here, I'm not sure if it's worth coming back to with this type of poor customer service. My favorite was the scallop sushi and tuna sashimi. I ordered 10 pieces of sushi & tuna sashimi & my friend ordered the Omakase set. I didn't get the Omakase set for myself because I knew that I wouldn't like some of the plates included in the Omakase set & the Omakase is more expensive ($100+)

    A solid spot for sushi. I had the Omakase course. The scallop was overcooked in the shell trio and the albacore sashimi was ok. The sushi dishes were delicious. The servers were quick with delivering the dishes and picking up the empty ones.

    F O O D We were trying to find a quality Omakase, and Sasabune BH came up. We booked a ressy on Open Table, parked in their lot, and snagged the bar seating (there was outdoor seating too by the way). We opted for the Japanese Omakase (as opposed to the regular omakase), and it was delicious. Definitely worth what we paid! D R I N K S Although we normally opt for the beverage pairing, we didn't go with the sake pairing. Instead we ordered a few beers & sake. It was enough. S E R V I C E The sushi chef AND wait staff were super attentive. O V E R A L L The quality of the fish here was good. If I'm in the area and craving Omakase, I would definitely swing by.

    Albacore Sashimi

    So good. It's more traditional sushi but they do it in a special way with different flavors and toppings and warm rice. All of the sushi was delicious. Their spicy tuna crispy rice is good but very different than every other sushi spot, which is still fine. The restaurant was full on a Tuesday night and parking is not that easy in their free lot because it's shared with the other places in the plaza. The kids of people picking up at Domino's were kind of annoying, as they were crawling on top of the Sasabune tables. They were kicked out soon enough and adults were seated there. The restaurant brings out heat lamps when it gets colder so outdoor seating is pretty good there. I would get all the sushi there again and skip the sashimi and spicy tuna crispy rice. Order all the sushi and a roll.

    Yep.. haven't been back to Sasabune Beverly Hills location in years !!! Yet, the simplicity & freshness is still as I remember it. Highly recommend the (9 course) Omakase and then you can order your additional favorites, as you desire; especially if you are like me - not a huge fan of uni which is included in their Japanese Omakase Course. The giant clam ($20/piece) was the winner for me; yet that is my weakness!!! And the butter fish nigiri was delectably a stand out. We added another butter fish nigiri order + some other favs with our omakase. Truthfully, I would say my toro nigiri was not in the same caliber of butteriness as compared to Nobu, Nozawa Bar, Koi, Matsuhisha, Otoro - but I'm admittedly particular with my buttery fatty fatty toro. (So I knocked it down 1 star to 4 stars; but I would have rated it 4.5 STARS if they offered fractional stars for personal reviews).. Of course the fresh quality & traditional presentation makes the Omakase experience adventuresome & fun. Additional highlights were the flavors of shell trio, the halibut / red snapper nigiri, & the scallop / bonito nigiri. We had a little too much dry sake & I accidentally spilled an entire bottle of Pellegríno on the floor & broke the glass. What a mess.. can't take me anywhere ?? I was trying to stay hydrated. Service was excellent & very friendly. Easy online rsvp through Open Table. Their private parking lot also makes it convenient.

    OMG-aske. Wrong spelling yes (Omakase) but the sushi here is crazy good. We also really liked the seaweed salad and sautéed asparagus. The sake ain't half bad either. Might be a bit biased since we barely ate sushi during the 2020 lockdowns but wow .. this place is legit. We chose to come here over the Brentwood location because of the option to dine outdoors. Parking here was also pretty easy on a Sunday evening. 100% recommended and we'll start saving money to visit again soon!

SERVICE From the careful and individual packaging to the adorable note they included, service was awesome besides the delivery time. It took 1.5 hours to deliver from the time ordered. FOOD We tried several items and although the sashimi was fresh, the cost was way too pricey especially for the rolls that were mediocre. SPICY SALMON HANDROLL- delicious with a slight kick! Although the seaweed was a bit soggy after the long delivery time. 4/5 SALMON AVO - aesthetically pleasing but lacked flavor 2/5 SALMON TRUFFLE - the truffle sea butter sauce was real heavy for me, but the fish was fresh and delicious. 3/5 UNI SCALLOP - uni was not fishy at all and the scallop was hearty. 5/5 DOUBLE T TRUFFLE TORO - the truffle just melts in your mouth! Toro was slightly on the tougher side. 3/5 EMMA - seared fatty tuna toro, yummy ! 5/5 HYE - yellowtail belly hamachi was refreshing and perfectly tender 5/5 SALMON BELLY - fresh! Nothing special. 4/5 MR CRAB - made with langostino and mayo, crispy shrimp tempura, and some kind of oyster sauce. Could be better and not worth it for the cost. 2/5 TUNA CITRUS - very pretty to look at, but lacked flavor. Not much tuna either. 2/5 OVERALL Would come back to dine in person, but wouldn't go for any of their pressed rolls or individual. Their sashimi is fresh, but definitely overpriced.

The food was fresh, high quality, and definitely enjoyable. However, I'm someone who loves fine dining and high-end restaurants, so I tend to be very picky when it comes to reviews. While everything we ordered tasted very good, there wasn't a single dish that really stood out as unique or unforgettable. Nothing made me stop and think, "Wow, I've never had anything like this before." The food was delicious, but not necessarily memorable. The pricing is on the expensive side, but that's also what you would expect for a restaurant of this caliber and location, so I don't consider that a negative. Overall, we had a nice evening, enjoyed the food, and appreciated the service. I would absolutely consider coming back in the future to try more items from the menu. Maybe there are some signature dishes that we missed this time around. If a future visit impresses me a little more, I could definitely see this becoming a 5-star review.

Ever since the original owner Kenzo Yamada sold the marketplace to the Kohno family (two family members are retail consultants for Japanese department stores) and partner Alex Soto in 2021, Yama Sushi has been expanding beyond the flagship location in San Gabriel. There are currently 3 locations (San Gabriel, West LA, and Koreatown) as of September 2026 with a new 4th location in Sherman Oaks coming soon. [Parking]: Yama shares the same small and free parking lot with Chipotle and the lot is typically packed during busy hours, but there's a high turnover rate so cars are constantly driving in and out of the lot. Even if the lot is packed, there's still free street parking. [Atmosphere]: The marketplace is constantly busy with limited indoor and outdoor seating. [Ordering sashimi]: Visitors take a number first. Once your number is called, then visitors can select fishes that they want and a staff member will cut the fishes into sashimi. [Hot deli]: This location actually offers a hot deli unlike the flagship location in San Gabriel. Some of the items include chicken curry, curry pan, chicken katsu, unagi don, char siu bao, etc. Please note that many of these hot deli items were sold out by the time I got here at 6 PM. [Signature items]: Yama is best known for its signature California Rolls and the shop is constantly making these rolls due to high turnover rates so you know they are always fresh. Another one of my favorite items is the Poke Bowls, but they are always sold out past lunchtime. *** Bara Chirashi (jewels of the sea - tuna, salmon, yellowtail, ika, tamago, avocado, ikura, and seasoned rice - $14.95): This is one of their new items and honestly it is hard to find a chirashi bowl that costs less than $15 in 2026 and tastes this fresh nowadays. A-tier item. Unagi don (aka eel bowl - $9.95): This is one of the most inexpensive eel bowls in Los Angeles and Orange County. It is unbelievable how they can sell an eel bowl for less than $10 in 2026 when places like Marugame Udon sell their grilled eel bento for $20+. S-tier item. *** Come here for lunch for the best experience with the full selection. Expect fresh quality fish and incredible value at Yama. It would be nice if Yama decided to open another location in the South Bay with Torrance being the home to one of the largest Japanese populations outside of Japan. P.S. - Extra $0.20 for a takeout bag.

The value and service you get here is phenomenal and it's one of the better priced options for omakase in LA.

    NOTE: Dined in on 10/27/24…read more Definitely want to write a couple of reviews before the end of the year to shine some light on restaurants that really need some more love here on Yelp. Rockpool sounds a little generic for a sushi spot, but the quality of the fish is quite delicious for the value. In particular, the lunch omakase is probably amongst the best sushi deals I've had for a sitdown spot. I'd definitely take it into consideration over let's say... Sugarfish. People often talk about how "fresh" fish tastes at sushi restaurants, but I feel like the best raw fish is often aged to an extent. The taste of the fish here is good, but I don't feel that they always use the best cuts. For example, the otoro was tasty, but it was not as marbled as I'm used to seeing. That said, another critically important and often overlooked component of sushi, particularly in handrolls and nigiri, is the rice. The rice here is delicately warm, pairs well with the fish, and has a pleasant, slightly sweet and vinegary taste. Simply delightful. The miso soup was also quite delicious, with a hearty, deep, set of flavors in the soup stock, and the scallop hand roll here was so good, I forgot to take a photo before devouring it haha. The lunch special should be enough food for most folks, but you're always welcome to add additional items to it! Now, is it good enough for me to try the more expensive dinner courses? Debatable, but it might be... just barely! The value proposition is hard to ignore, though. It's certainly one of the best deals you'll find on the Westside.

    Rockpool is a new sushi joint opened by the same owner of Yasu Sushi. After trying out their…read moreomakase lunch special during their grand opening, our verdict is in. My friend and I felt like we were getting the freshest cut you can for the price. Some even more fresh than others. It was very quiet during the Saturday we went, which gave us a lot of privacy to chat over delicious fish. With the excellent customer service and engaging staff, you bet we will be back for their other omakase options.
