I appreciate the service and the food was pretty good but if you have celiac disease like myself don't eat there. I would have given it more stars but I got very sick even after we did gluten-free allergy so there's got to be a ton of cross-contamination. And normally I don't get sick like this out of sushi restaurant, and I do everything gluten free any gluten free soy sauce so something's going on there read more

I'm not the fanciest sushi eater but the flavors at Seabutter satisfy me every single time! Gotta start with the spicy tuna crispy rice and my favorite rolls are 911, sunset, YTJ, and crispy albacore. The service is always excellent and the vibes are so relaxing. PS there's parking in the back! read more

Seabutter - Crispy Albacore Roll - Japanese Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Came here for Dine LA week but didn't end up doing the Dine LA menu (our bad for misreading the price on opentable) however, since we were already here we decided to make the best of it because we've heard the best things about it! It fully held up to the hype. We started with the Lux Nigiri medley, but swapped out the scallop for a second truffle salmon. It included the Emma, truffle salmon, and hye. Honestly I can't even pick a favorite they were all so good. Next I got the salmon supreme roll and my friend got the 911 roll. The salmon roll was good but got kind of old pretty fast, however the 911 roll was exceptional! I cannot recommend it enough, so light and refreshing and the perfect amount of spicy. Definitely come here if you get the chance! read more

The food here is great! Rolls are super yummy. But the wait time for the rolls is so long! Maybe because it was super busy that night but we waited for like 20 minutes or more. Overall cute place for a date. Sunset roll was bomb!! read more

This place was recommended by so many people I knew. It unfortunately did not live up to the hype. The atmosphere was really cute and the service from the employees was acceptable. The host at the front was extremely kind. However, the food with bland on all levels. We tried multiple dishes from sushi, to teriyaki, to others. Unfortunately, each dish lacked flavor, and always seemed to need a little something. We have visited hole-in-the-wall restaurants with more flavorful food. I'd love to say I just caught them on a bad night. However, I have now tried it twice. Lovely people, though. read more

Food was okay but waiting for food to come out for one hour!! Not gonna come back. Totally waste my time

I was craving some sushi late at night and stumbled across Seabutter. First of all, I love their name! I was debating which restaurant to go to and the name Seabutter just took the cake. There was a lot of parking which was a plus. We got sat right away. Everything I ordered was delicious and super fresh. The staff, super friendly and very attentive. :) read more

Seabutter - Japanese Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Tried the DineLA menu, and was let down by all of the following: -abundance of black pepper on nigiri, if the fish is fresh and tasty there isn't a need to add so much seasoning -at one point I had three different plates of food in front of me, rather than waiting for me to finish one plate before bringing the next plate it felt like they were rushing us to leave -the spicy tuna hand roll served at the end was entirely too spicy and didn't taste proper whatsoever read more

Came here for the first time for lunch last Friday Cute place. The hostess was very nice and seated us at the sushi bar We ordered some Sapporo beers and two Chef Choice We noticed while we were talking and drinking everyone around us they came after us got their food and we did not We alerted the hostess and the manger and they told us the Chef Choice takes 30 minutes to prepare. This was almost 40 minutes However the manger gave us the beers gratis and gave us 50 percent off the meal. Very smart move and good customer service Once the food came-all the sushi were fresh and delicious Two words of advice- serve the chefs choice as each piece is done rather wait for the entire plate to be completed. And also alert the customers of how long it takes The sushi is really good so will be back read more

Delicious sushi! I like how they make so many great and various rolls. They really know what they are doing

We've been here a couple of times. Some times have been better than others. Our most recent trip was solid, but nothing to write home about. The ambiance here is relatively quiet. It's a restaurant in Beverly Hills, but has a very casual vibe, and isn't too dressy. The drinks here are okay. I typcally stick with beer when I have sushi. I do appreciate that they have draft Sapporo as opposed to just the bottled option. The sushi is good. Fresh, but it can be slightly overpriced. The portion sizes are average. Their rolls are pretty good as well, but perhaps not as much variety as you might find elsewhere. Overall, I'd probably come back at some point, but given how many sushi spots are in Los Angeles, I'd try some others first. read more

Seabutter - Japanese Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

This place is incredible. It's a nice little spot in a very unassuming location with a great charm. They also play really good music. That said, the food is absolutely incredible. Seriously. The toro melts in your mouth as does the salmon and pretty much everything else. Above all, what makes the experience is Yukino. She is the sweetest server I have ever met. Every time my girlfriend and I go, she lights up and asks how we're doing. She works the outdoor section (which has strong heaters) at night - I definitely recommend asking to be seated in her section. She also gives amazing suggestions off the menu. Go here. Trust me. read more

DineLA 10/2021, $99 - Not worth it! Came here after reading the reviews from last years dineLA. The menu was almost identical as last year which was $39 last year, but this year had steeply increased to $99. Comparing the menus, I saw that they had increased the prices. I chalked it up to the fact that they had added the pressed sushi and 4 more pieces from the nigiri course. Now I am more than happy to pay money if I feel the experience and quality is worth it. When you are comparing hundreds of dineLA menus, I feel that the magic of dineLA is that it is an experience for everyone to enjoy fine dining at a justifiable cost. However, compared to the other $99 dineLA menus, seabutter failed to live up to that experience and quality for me personally. The starter was very simple edamame with salt, nothing special. My favorite nigiri was the tuna and yellowtail. Many of the nigiris and pressed sushi was overwhelmed from the addition of truffle. This is coming from someone who LOVES truffle, but having so many pieces of truffle, it fatigued our palate and overwhelmed the flavor of the fish. In my opinion, the pressed sushi had too much rice to fish ratio. The black sesame ice cream was good, but nothing special as well. Overall, the fish was very fresh but the flavors were nothing special and were very similar. Next time, I'll probably be going to sugar fish for dineLA or Enya if I feel like splurging. read more

I needed a great spot to take my girlfriend for her 21st birthday and her being a sushi lover I knew I needed to take her special. I saw a bunch of great reviews for Seabutter and I decided to go for it and brought her. Our expectations were blown away! There were too many good things on the menu so our waiter informed us about the Chef's Special and we just went for it. The food took a while to come out so we decided to snack on some edamame. But when the food finally came out... All I can say is wow! What I really enjoyed was that the different pieces of sushi on each had unique flavors and they were all just so delicious. The flavor profiles felt a bit more different than other sushi places that I have been at but I enjoyed the unique experience! At the end of our meal, they even brought green tea ice cream for my girlfriend to celebrate. The service was excellent. The waiters were attentive and helpful during the ordering process. They went up to me while my girlfriend was in the restroom to ask me what flavor she would like to ensure it would be a surprise when it came out. Side note that green tea ice cream was pretty good. There are street parking and parking in the back. The lot gets kinda bush and it can be hard to find. The best way to describe it is if you are heading south on Doheny Dr. it is the small opening just right before the light on the cross section of Doheny and Olympic. The cost was well worth it. It was about $65 for 12 pieces of delicious sushi that we both enjoyed. Thanks for making her birthday so great! read more

Seabutter - Chef's Choice!!! An assortment of tasty sushi - Japanese Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

We had reservations for a table. When we get there they ask us if our party of four wants to sit at the bar. We don't mind sitting at the bar when we're two people but we're we choose standard seating not bar on open table. They said it would just be a few minutes. They kept repeating this. We find ourselves standing there after nicely and patiently waiting for 30 mins we started getting a bit upset. I let the hostess know that it's not okay. She stated "one more min" and a few minutes later they sat us. When the server arrived. I let her know that I just wanted her to be aware of the situation. That it's the second time we've reserved a table and had to wait 30 mins. What set me off was her response. Now mind you, I let her know because every other time I've been there I've seen her each time. Everyone else seemed newer. She responded in not a very polite manner that we "could have sat at the bar". After spending an average of $500 each time I've been there I was really disappointed in her response. No one took accountability. All I wanted was a simple, and we are sorry, I will make sure to get you guys taken care of. Instead we were completely dismissed. The attitude constituted until I asked for a manager. That's when she said I can give you the owners number. She goes comes back and says sorry she is not available but what can I do for you. We decided not to continue ordering. This place is overpriced. Their sushi is not that fresh and we always leave hungry even spending a ton of money. Last time we were there we had scales in the salmon. Definitely not going back here. read more

I came with a friend last night around 6pm. We made reservations during the day just in case. The parking situation isn't ideal. It was hard to find street parking that wasn't for residents in the neighborhood. We ended up parking in the plaza parking that is attached to Seabutter. The hostess said she thinks it'd be okay. Upon entering, it is a very clean restaurant, dimly lit. For seating, you can sit at the sushi bar, small 2-seater tables lining the right side, or larger tables deeper into the restaurant. They also had outdoor seating with heat lamps (no one was out there yet). We both ordered an omakase select, which includes 7 pieces of the chefs top nigiri selection ($40). A few of the things I remember are halibut, tuna, albacore, salmon -- can't remember the rest haha. - I was disappointed that the rice wasn't warm but I think it may be because the restaurant itself was freezing because they leave the door open. It may have just been me because my friend said she couldn't tell but I was uncomfortably cold the whole time. - the fish tasted very fresh. They didn't have the super fishy taste or smell. - the salmon was ... DELICIOUS!! Probably the best piece of salmon we ever had. It was THICK and juicy- an explosion in your mouth. Had a little bit of truffle too. 911 roll ($17) Spicy tuna with cucumber topped with avocado, jalapeño and yuzu sauce. - if you are not a fan of yuzu, do not get this because the yuzu is veryyyy strong. - it was not spicy. The jalapeño just adds a little bit of that savory-ness. - I felt like this roll lacked something. Nothing really wowed me. Slightly bland. salmon avo pressed sushi ($19.50) Salmon seared inside and salmon seared on top with artichoke truffle and lemon olive oil. - we honestly got this after our omakase in hopes that the salmon is similar to the nigiri salmon. Haha, we were wrong. It wasn't as thick and juicy but still good! - truffle elevates any dish - the pressed sushi makes it look very aesthetically pleasing and makes for a great photo The next time we come, we both said we would just get that salmon nigiri. It was just so delicious. The service is A++ Very attentive and checked on us frequently. Considering it was a Friday night, the restaurant was surprisingly not busy at all throughout our dine-in and when we left around 8pm. read more

SO we had a 2:30pm reservation for lunch here, BH Location, and at 1:30pm someone from the restaurant called and said that "last call was at 2:15pm and they were closed at 2:30pm" So why are they taking reservations for a time when they are closed? And the reservation was confirmed by text message that morning. Better double check with these folks before you go until the can get their reservation system under control... read more

For a place thats swinging for the fences by offering items such as toro with uni, a5 wagyu nigiri and minced seared toro they should understand the importance of fresh rice. Wrong! The only realistic excuse for rice reminiscent of left over teriyaki rice after it's been in the fridge for a day or two, warmed in a microwave and then re served many hours later, is that it actually is leftovers. The sushi chef must know how bad the rice is and I'm guessing management won't let him use fresh rice daily. It's a shame because the toro was pretty good. The a5 on the other hand was way over cooked completely rendering all the fat out. Overall the nigiri was "not too bad" if you can get past the old rice. MY ADVICE... just go to sugar fish! read more

Melts in your mouth -- just like... you guessed it, butter. I think this might have been my very first time going to a place I had seen off the "what's hot and new around you" email blast. It was the photo that got me to click on it and it was also time for a long overdue dinner with an old friend who just happened to love sushi so I suggested this spot to try together. Honestly, everything on their menu sounded amazing so you could imagine I had a difficult time narrowing it down, but here's what we ordered at the table... - Salmon Avo: spicy salmon tartare with seared salmon on top, topped with artichoke truffle and lemon olive oil [pressed sushi = square-shaped, no seaweed, 6 pcs] *enjoyed, but it was my least fave of the night* - YTJ: yellowtail and jalapeño tempura topped with tuna sashimi and yuzu sauce [rolls = 8 pcs] *good, but not as good as the roll I ordered; there is a spiciness here from the fried jalapeño* - Sunset: spicy tuna, asparagus, and avocado topped with yellowtail sashimi, cilantro and sweet yuzu sauce [rolls = 8 pcs] *my absolute favorite of the night; recommended from our waiter b/c I was having such a hard time choosing what to eat -- b/c it came with three things that stuck out to me (spicy tuna, yellowtail and avocado, I thought it was a good choice to start with); there is a little kick to this guy which was a nice surprise at the end... oh, that's probably from the spicy tuna, lol the whole night I was like but there's no jalapeño, where is it coming from?! My friend liked my roll better than hers, too; I liked it so much I got one to-go* - Tuna (Maguro): [sushi = 2 pcs] *had to try one of the most well-known fish in Japanese cuisine to see how good it was at this restaurant. When they had brought it out, they placed extra pieces of sashimi on the house I think because I had originally ordered the Albacore Belly but they were sold out. The pieces of sashimi literally melted in my mouth -- it was one of the best I've eaten in a while* - Amberjack (Kanpachi): [sushi = 2 pcs] *this might have been my first time trying this fish -- it was really delicious, but it wasn't as memorable as the tuna sashimi and the sunset roll* - 1 large Sapporo w/ 1 large Hot Sake that we shared -- towards the end of our meal, the waiter came back to offer us 1 large Hot Sake on the house :D Overall, very nice 1st time experience -- I would definitely come back. While there was no room for dessert, I did ask about what they had that night... mochi ice cream in strawberry, chocolate, green tea and mango or black sesame, green tea and lychee ice cream, yum. I would suggest this spot for just about any occasion -- there were two large groups, couples and solo diners there. The service here was great! We were helped by 3 different people, all of whom were super. Parking: My friend parked in a lot that was behind the restaurant -- it was down an alley. I parked in the lot of the other shopping center which was at the corner (not sure if I was technically "supposed to", but there were no signs saying certain businesses claimed those spots. read more

Such an amazing find for delicious sushi in an unassuming plaza in Beverly Hills. Seabutter's menu offers all the typical sushi offerings plus some unique ones, like their pressed sushi (their interpretation of sushi rolls in a square-like "pressed" format) and their medleys (nigiri combos). We ordered a lux medley each plus the rainbow pressed sushi and spicy tuna cut roll. Rainbow pressed sushi has blue crab and avocado in the middle and is topped with salmon, yellowtail, avocado, and albacore. It's not too different from sushi rolls, other than that the nori/seaweed is omitted in this version and each piece seems bigger than a typical cut roll piece. This was delicious, loved that there was a lot of fish/avocado and everything tasted super fresh. Spicy tuna is a pretty basic thing to order, but not always done well. Seabutter's iteration is fresh, spicier than normal, and was perfectly delicious and satisfying. Lux medley consists of 1 piece each (all in nigiri style) of the following: hye (minced yellowtail belly), emma (seared toro), salmon truffle, and uni-scallop. Each piece is incredibly unique and beautiful in presentation and amazing in taste. It melts in your mouth and the amalgamation of unique flavors and textures is on point. read more

I was disappointed by the quality of the fish. Made reservations on a Friday night. Ordered blue crab handroll, Marilyn Monroe (carb less), tuna-uni, sweet shrimp, and edemame. The sweet shrimp was slightly cooked on top and raw on the bottom, sprinkled with a little bit of pepper. Let me tell you, I only tasted the rice. The shrimp had no sweetness to it at all. Very disappointing. You can tell from the picture of the shrimp that it was slightly cooked. The blue crab was the same. Tasteless and disappointing. The only thing that was very good was the Toro and uni combo. Probably would not come back again. read more

Absolutely amazing sushi! Came across this new restaurant on Yelp and I had to try it for myself. For the Beverly Hills location, Sea Butter is quite affordable. With the 20% off soft opening promotion, we paid about $50 (including tip) for two. Granted, my boyfriend is not a huge fan of sushi so most of the food was for me! I got the Lux (minced toro, minced yellowtail, salmon, and scallop/uni), as well as an order of toro and another order of kanpachi. My boyfriend got just ordered the 911 roll. I fell in love with every single bite of sushi and am already eager to go back. Our chef was nice enough to give us an order of black cod sushi on the house and the fish truly melted in our mouths. Customer service was A1, from the hostess, to the chef, to the owner. Can't wait to go back and try their lunch special. read more

I've heard about and seen this place all over social media so I was super excited to get a reservation on a Friday night. When we got there, they were able to fulfill my request to sit at the sushi bar. However, we didn't get service until being seated for almost 15 minutes. I had to make an obnoxious gesture by waving the menu at the poor sushi chef (who looked overworked) behind the sushi bar. He came to take our order and even he had to flag down a waiter. The owner (I think?) came to check on us once, but service was really lacking. Never even got refills on water or my green tea. There were 3 guys seated next to us and they had to send food back because they found hair in it. I thought the food was great. Tried the spicy scallop hand roll, yellowtail belly sushi, sunset roll, and salmon avo. Everything was excellent. This place definitely makes up for what it lacks in service in trendy food and flavor. I understand the restaurant is new and still getting it's bearings so hopefully when I come back, service can be updated to reflect what I believe has the potential to be 5 stars. read more

I was craving something healthy for dinner and didn't want anything too heavy. Seabutter came up as a suggestion on Yelp so we decided to give it a try!! It was a Friday around 5p and they had plenty of tables when we arrived!! We ordered the toro platter, rainbow pressed sushi, and a dragon roll. It was the perfect amount for the two of us. Fresh sushi and great service! We will definitely stop by again if we're in the area. It was a bit hard to find and we ended up circling the block a couple of times.

I was at the Laguna Beach location by chance this past Tuesday and 2 days later today, I found myself at the Beverly Hills location...it was that good! Thanks for letting me know there's one closer to me, George. I was scared coming back so soon would disappoint since I had an amazing first experience but those worries were squashed the moment that fatty tuna hit my mouth! I was living on the sushi/sashimi tonight. Ate everything that ended in belly and then some. Also tried their sashimi style menu (had both of the yellowtail options) as well; delicious! I ordered a lot of items and I was pleased with every single one. The entire staff here tonight (chefs, servers, front of house) were great! read more

Our current go to sushi spot. Sushi is fresh and delicious. Toro is always a must for me. The two times we've been here we've trusted our palate to the skilled hands of our sushi chef and he always delivers. The ambiance leaves more to be desired.

It's clean and comfortable and the service is always excellent. If you're in the area, this is a solid spot. read more
