Came here with a friend right after seeing the Supergirl movie, as it's conveniently located right across the street from the Americana. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by the very friendly staff, who took us to a table. The restaurant is so clean and bright with gorgeous decor and the comfiest seating. The service was so prompt and our server was fantastic at answering any questions we had. I inquired about the vegan options, as the menu didn't specify which items were. The waiter was so knowledgeable and vividly described all of the options to me, saying which ones did not have any fish sauce or egg. I ended up ordering the Green Goddess sushi roll and the Agedashi Tofu. The tofu was brought out first and it was so delectable. It was coated in a lovely batter and fried and the sauce was just the right amount of tangy with the slightest sweetness. The Green Goddess sushi was equally amazing and beautifully presented on a leaf. It was true to its name and was very green with some lovely avocado, cucumber and asparagus. It was even topped with jalapeño to give it some added spice and add even more crispiness to it! The servers were on it, bringing us more ginger and wasabi as needed and consistently checking on us to ensure we were satisfied with our meals. My friend really enjoyed his fish sushi as well. We both left very satisfied and energized. I would definitely return again for more delicious veggie sushi and to try more of their vegan appetizers! read more

Alberto was very attentive and cared about our food restrictions. He went above and beyond to make sure our food was ceilac safe for my wife who is ceilac. I recommend this restaurant for anyone who is gluten sensitive or ceilac as Seabutters employees will make sure to follow all precautions. The overall setting of Seabutter was nice and spacious. The fish was fresh and price reasonably for the quality of fish in the middle of Glendale. I would've swore I was near the ocean with how fresh each nigiri tasted. I order the nigiri omakase. Thank you Seabutter for such a pleasant experience. read more

Had an incredible experience at Sea Butter Sushi. Everything from the quality of the fish to the presentation and service was outstanding. The sushi was unbelievably fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, and every dish we tried exceeded expectations. The atmosphere was welcoming and perfect for an early dinner. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely taken care of throughout the entire meal. You can really tell this place takes pride in both the food and the customer experience. Easily one of the best sushi spots in Glendale -- highly recommend to anyone looking for high quality sushi and an overall amazing dining experience. Since most sushi places stopped offering ice cream tempuras we were extremely surprised that they do offer the ice cream tempuras especially the red bean. A must go place in Glendale. read more

Best sushi spot in Glendale, great service, fresh food, consistently high quality. Niko and Alberto are the best!

Super friendly and helpful staff in a sleek, clean setting. Nice, approachable sake menu with something for every palate and wallet. Food was really fresh and delicious. We tried a few rolls, and I had some outstanding uni. Low carb rolls intrigued and didn't disappoint. Pressed sushi was good, but way, WAY too much rice. It was the main flavor of the dish and ultimately disappointing - I wouldn't recommend or get again. We both loved the Mr. Crab roll enough to order a 2nd one, and found it incredibly odd that it was a completely different presentation. While, I know, it's not that big a deal, it's weird to see. It is pricey, but it's really good. We'll definitely return. read more

We decided to drive 35 miles, in the rain, to have Christmas Dinner at Seabutter and to celebrate our daughter's birthday because we love sushi. It was our first time at this restaurant. Reservation was early, at 4:30PM. We got there at 4PM. Nobody was there except for the staff. Our waiter Albert was very knowledgeable and able to describe and suggest different menu items. The fish was definitely fresh and delicious. We tried different ones. Service was super quick as no other tables were there. Prices were reasonable but again, we can't afford to eat that kind of food on a weekly basis anymore, unfortunately. Ambiance was neutral. Bright lights. No Christmas decorations at all (not that we cared) but the restaurant looked clean. I didn't rate it 5 stars only because I mentioned that we were celebrating a birthday and they didn't acknowledge it. Not a big deal but it would have been a nice gesture. read more

I came here on a Friday for a girls dinner out so we could try their pressed sushi. The inside is nice and simple, it's what you'd expect and is an enjoyable atmosphere. We ordered the Pressed Tail and Salmon Avo for the pressed sushi, and a Specialty Roll. The Specialty Roll was amazing and so was their Salmon Avo. We were recommended this restaurant from other friends so we didn't expect any less. The Pressed Tail was interesting, if you like mushrooms on your sushi then I'd say give it a try. I probably wouldn't order it again for personal preference but nice to try for fun. We also ordered dumplings as a side and those were delicious. The service seemed great around the restaurant, but we just didn't get as lucky with our waitress. It's just she barely came to our table, not anything major though. I'd also recommend to others if you are in the Beverly Hills area. They have many items to choose from! I would definitely comeback and try others read more

been here a few times now and have had a great experience every time. the sushi is always fresh and the service is top tier (they gave us a free appetizer!) i love how good quality the fish is and the flavors and options they have are unique. it's definitely a smaller storefront, but the service and food make up for it every time. recommend for anyone looking for a good sushi place, but be ready to spend a lot since the prices are on the higher end. ordered: pressed sushi - salmon avo salmon truffle spicy tuna crispy rice read more

This review is based on the Taste of Seabutter - the prix fixe menu The quality of the fish was delicious, this comes with a starter, sashimi, Nigiri, pressed sushi, and hand roll. The nigiri was actually delicious and I do like that the chef puts an effort to season the fish along with the rice, which does add some flavor to the overall experience. The selection was pretty good and standard, you get salmon, tuna, and yellowtail. The pressed sushi is an interesting concept, it is essentially a deconstructed roll that is formed into a rectangular prism. My favorite is the specialty nigiri because it has unique fish cuts. The service was great, everything came out fast and the staff were very helpful. The restaurant itself is very clean, Bright, and peaceful. The only thing that I am pressed about is the fact that the taste of sea butter is a bit more expensive versus ordering à la carte. So you are better off ordering off the regular menu. However, if you have nothing better to order, this might be better for you. Fortunately, this is not a showstopper. I did enjoy my overall experience at this restaurant. read more

Ordered take out because I had to lol I usually don't like take out sushi, because it just gets weird and mushy by the time it gets here. But this was different. Very well packed and the sauces were placed separately. I think this is why it was not mushy. I loved everything I ordered. Everything was fresh and light as usual. It's safe to now upgrade them to 5 stars Im glad they maintained their freshness and quality. I also loved the handwritten note. read more

Just outside the walls of The Americana on Brand Blvd is Seabutter, a modern sushi restaurant with a large menu served in a minimalist space. Service was very good, and all the items were quite good. Pressed Toro - 4 stars. Their take on pressed sushi works, though I'm not a huge fan of truffle. Spicy Tuna Rice - 4 1/2 stars. Delicious! 2 little bites of creamy tuna with a bit of heat served atop crispy rice. Blue Crab cut roll - 4 stars. Quite good, but a bit forgettable. Chicken Kushiyaki - 4 1/2 stars. 2 delicious and very juicy skewers of chicken. Very small portion, would definitely get two orders next time. 911 Roll - 4 stars. One of the stronger items, packed with flavor and a great texture with the asparagus. read more

We found Seabutter on Yelp... great reviews so we had to try. During the holiday weekend since the Americana was so crowded we opted to dine outside the center but still nearby. I called in ahead to make sure there was no wait and luckily we were seated right away. The decor is simple and it didn't feel cramped. We got great recommendations from our waiter. Loved the low carb rolls especially the crunchy radish wrapping instead of rice paper. Fresh sashimi and sushi options! read more

High quality, quick service. I had the marlyn monroll and the salmon medley. I tried a piece of the Mr. Crab roll as well. Fish quality was very good. I especially enjoyed the truffle salmon. The marlyn was tasty with the sauce, but I was a bit surprised by how much I could taste the daikon without it. I've had daikon before but not in sushi. I'd probably skip this roll next time. Mr. Crab was a standout, especially if you like a heartier roll. The price point makes sense for the quality, buuuut if I was hungrier I'd probably prefer a sugarfish set. read more

Delicious!! My partner and I stumbled on this sushi spot and they had so many great items! My absolute favorite was the crispy albacore roll. The albacore was so fresh and had a great portion of fish. The crispy onions --incredible! The salmon medley was also a great try -- the king salmon was my favorite! I was looking most forward to the spicy tuna crispy rice -- great flavor, but a little too hard on the edges for me! Nonetheless, we had a great time! Attentive service and casual dining vibes! read more

We love the Seabutter in Laguna Beach so we knew we were in for a treat when we were visiting Glendale this weekend. The owner George is so nice and you can tell he really enjoys making customers happy. We had our usual brigade of sushi and sashimi and we love the salmon truffle so much!! The bluefin was exceptional tonight and so was the Japanese Uni with quail egg. It's really fun to try new Seabutter locations and I highly recommend this one. A+ read more

New location in Glendale right on Brand across the Americana. Very spacious and beautifully done. Great customer service, street parking is available or you can park at the Americana and walk over but you have to pay for parking. The food was average, the rolls are small and not to my taste. We tried a few and honestly I was like it's ok. Nothing special. We also tried sashimi which was ok too. My husband had a good time during his lunch break, talking and enjoying our cold beers. read more

Wow, just wow... hands down the freshest, most delicious sushi I have had... and I've had a lot of sushi. It's pricey, but you can't beat the quality...think if it as your new splurge worthy sushi spot. We mostly ordered sashimi style. They have rolls, and they are good, but I feel like you can get good rolls for less elsewhere and the star of their show is the sashimi, specifically the Hamachi Jalapeno, which was life changing! We also ordered a lobster handroll which will easily become my new obsession... the creamy, chunks peices of lobster will live rent free in my mind until we can reunite. The spicy tuna crispy rice was also one fo the best I've had. Service was fantastic and I loved the tranquil ambiance with a view of the Americana across the street. read more

Seabutter - Sushi Bars Near Me - Glendale, California

Ate there last night. This is basically a 3 1/2 star sushi restaurant. I was expecting something a little more, but there wasn't much WOW factor. There is nothing wrong with it, but I can get this sushi anywhere. The ambience is very commercial and cold. It's definitely not a normal Japanese cool sushi restaurant. Service was decent so that is a plus. Prices are fair. It's a table restaurant, not a sushi bar restaurant. The food is OK. The servings were on the smaller side for sushi and rolls. Everything tasted fresh. Unfortunately, you can get this quality at any neighborhood sushi place and I was expecting a higher end cool sushi restaurant as previously mentioned. I would not drive here again, but if you're a local, check it out. read more

Seabutter - Yummy Salmon hand roll with truffle sauce - Sushi Bars Near Me - Glendale, California

Very good but a level below the best spots in LA/the valley/inland empire. We definitely enjoyed it but too heavy on the sauces and spicy mayos which distracted from the fish. Lacked some subtlety. still very good, just not 5*. read more

Large beautifully designed zen space with white walls, soaring ceiling and a welcoming team that immediately makes you feel at home. The menu offers something for everyone; from timeless staples like agedashi tofu, miso soup, sashimi and nigiri to creative specialties such as pressed sushi, low-carb rolls, and indulgent truffle dishes. The drink selection is equally impressive with an expansive list of beer, wine, and both filtered and unfiltered sake, featuring unique offerings I hadn't experienced before. We tried the Kawaba Snow Weizen, a smooth wheat beer that I enjoyed even more than the usual Sapporo or Asahi found on most menus. The Dassai, a dry unfilltered sake, carried a hint of sweetness and an elegant smoothness. Spicy Albacore Crispy Rice - 4 stars Light, crispy rice paired perfectly with tender albacore, balanced with a mild touch of spice and flavors. Yellowtail Carpaccio Sashimi - 4 stars Generous cuts of fresh yellowtail layered with marinated mushrooms, crispy onion and a truffle soy sauce which was good. Sunset Roll - 4.5 stars Perhaps my favorite dish of the evening. Spicy tuna and asparagus topped with yellowtail sashimi, cilantro, and a sweet yuzu sauce which was a refreshing flavor combination I had never experienced before. Pressed Salmon Avo - 3.5 stars Salmon lovers may rate this higher. While fresh, I found the artichoke truffle and lemon olive oil topping disproportionate, and the searing effect was subtle to the point of being hard to detect. Pressed Toro - 4 stars Though the searing, spice, and truffle notes didn't come through as vividly as I anticipated, the toro itself was delcious--rich, buttery and satisfying. read more

Seabutter - This restaurant is charging if you choose to get LESS rice! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Glendale, California

This place is a scam. We booked Seabutter for a low key Valentine's Day dinner through Resy. We checked in, had a decent meal and paid our bill ($226.08 including tip). Imagine my surprise several days later getting a notice from Resy that Seabutter was going to charge me $50 as a no-show. I called the restaurant on Feb 20 spoke to whoever answered the phone and explained the situation. He said the manager would get it handled. It's now a week later and I still haven't been credited back. This was our first experience at Seabutter and definitely our last. read more

Came here on a whim! Marcos gave such phenomenal service. 4 mama's with their 6 kids ages 7-13 years old. He was so patient and thoughtful. He put in the order for the kiddos first (major plus for a parent since nobody wants to deal with hangry kids!) and proceeded to check in on us to make sure all was good. And the cherry on top, I believe he said Nico(?!) drew this wonderfully sweet thankful note on the take out bag that had utensils. How often do you get a random note of niceness these days?! This fine establishment is definitely worth a visit. Oh and food... So devine! read more

Not even worth one star I take my grand kids to this place once in a while. Today this rude angry waiter John serve us. My grand son asks him for avocado salmon roll, he brings avocado roll and then when we tell him he claims that we ordered wrong with attitude. And then start giving me lecture how next time I should order. From the time we sat down this rude guy gave us attitude. Did not bring soy sauce or ginger. Even in supermarkets they give you ginger and soy sauce. And then the kids have not finished their food he brings the bill to push us out. He expect tip also! read more

When driving through Glendale, we noticed a new sushi place had opened and decided to give it a shot. It is located across the street from the Americana mall and is housed where a former fast food place was located. We were able to secure a reservation and headed over for dinner. Upon arrival, we were shocked at the transformation of the space. It is sleek and modern, a huge contrast from the previous tenant. We approached the host and were taken aback by her lack of enthusiasm or eye contact. She tried seating us at a table by the front where everyone has to walk past you. This choice of location, despite there being many open and available tables, was not a positive start to this meal. We asked to be seated elsewhere and she complied but with the energy of a sloth. Thankfully things picked up from there. Our server and all of the accompanying staff was energetic, outgoing and friendly, the complete opposite of the host. Our server guided us through the menu and made some suggestions. We ended up with a tempura, a sashimi, a roll and some pressed sushi, something I was not all familiar with. The items came out quickly and all exceeded our expectations, especially the pressed sushi since it was our first time experiencing it. All of the seafood was very fresh and the composition of the dishes was quite nice. We will definitely return to Seabutter. While it's a bit on the pricey side, the quality of the fish and the outstanding staff (not the host) make us want to come back for more. If it weren't for the host, this would have been a 5-star review. read more

I can't wait to come back! My husband took me here on a date last Saturday and we both can' stop thinking about the buttery bites we had. Ugh! The only disappointment I had was I wish I had more storage in my stomach because I wanted to order more. We ordered the following: Pressed Toro Roll - SO delicious. It's basically minced toro pressed on top a bed of rice an seaweed. So simple, but delicious! Mr Crab Roll - kind of of like a dynamite roll with crab and lobster. Had a nice crunch to it. Surprisingly my favorite roll of the night. Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice - probably he best spicy tuna crispy rice i have ever had. Rice was crunchy and not chewy! Scallop with Uni - UGH, actually this was my favorite bite of the night. So fresh! Melts in your mouth. King Salmon nigiri - MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH. So fresh. They aren't shy with their slices of fish which I appreciate. Presentation was modern and clean. The restaurant was clean and vibey. Staff was warm and welcoming. Our server was a jokester which always makes the experience 10 times better. read more

Glad to see the former Big Chicken spot get an upgrade! Loved the sushi we ordered and I can see why they went with the name Seabutter - the texture of everything was so smooth, creamy, and well buttery! You can tell they are using quality sea food for every bite. The highlight for me was the sexy albacore dish with crispy onions, but my husband loved the 2 crispy rice dishes we got best. Service was super friendly & speedy. It was pretty empty when we started lunch but it was starting to pick up as we left. Wish they had outdoor seating available, especially when the weather is nice - maybe those tables are coming after they've settled in to the new space a bit more? I can hope at least! Will definitely be back as this is now my fave sushi spot in the vicinity. read more
