Delicious, welcoming, kind, calm. If I had lived a bit closer to this restaurant, that would be my most frequent place to eat. A smiling face of that great of a chef makes this place even nicer. Quiet place so that you can really experience the taste. Thank you.

Buyer be aware! I came and tried the 'Trust me' $140 Omakase. I should have know better! I did not notice any difference from ordering your own rolls/sashimi and the omakase other than the price. In fact, I think i would have preferred to have chosen my own rolls. My dinner date did, and there was no difference between his and my rolls. His bill was cheaper! I was underwhelmed is the statement of the year! The oyster was not fresh, which was a shame as it had the potential to be quite delicious. (Did they shuck them earlier in day?) Same with the uni (sea urchin) I did like their salmon roe. In my opinion, the tuna and toro were not anything special that your local supermarket wouldn't supply. it tasted as if the fish had been swimming in a fish tank. And the tuna appetizers tasted like old fish. I think hmart has better quality fish. The staff was friendly and the place is cute. Other than that, I would not recommend it.

Sushi Sasabune is certainly not cheap but it produces the best sushi that I have ever tasted anywhere (US, Europe, Asia included). A friend of mine suggested we pop in for a quick lunch without telling me that this was his favourite sushi place. My reaction to my first bite was apparently histerical - I honestly didn't know that it was possible to make sushi taste so amazing. For such an unassuming spot, the quality of the food is astounding. We spent over $100 a head on food and it was worth every penny.

Fantastic selection of fish and great selection of kosher style. It’s a must, it was so good that the bill was a pleasure to pay.

We tried the “trust me” omakase option and it was so worth it. The cuts of fish were immaculate and the rice was perfectly seasoned. Every course was better than the last. This was hands down the best sushi I’ve ever had. This is definitely not the place for you if you like to ruin perfectly good fish by drowning it in soy sauce and spicy mayo, but perfect for people who truly enjoy traditional sushi.
