“ I had such an amazing experience at Asanebo! First off, the valet parking was incredibly convenient, making the whole experience smooth from the start. Given how small the restaurant is, parking could have been a hassle, but they've taken care of that. Speaking of the size, this place is tiny. But in a way that makes it feel intimate and special. Despite not having a reservation, we were seated almost immediately, which was a pleasant surprise. One detail I absolutely loved was the small woven basket they provide for your purse. Such a thoughtful touch that shows how much they care about the dining experience. Now, let's talk about the food. Absolutely phenomenal. We started with their miso soup, and I have to say, this was hands down the best miso soup I have ever had. It was piping hot, rich in flavor, and had the perfect balance of umami and warmth. For sushi, we ordered a mix of cut rolls and hand rolls, along with some edamame. Let me tell you, the freshness of the fish was on another level. Every bite was clean, pure, and absolutely delicious. Zero fishy aftertaste, which is a true testament to quality. The rice was seasoned perfectly, and the seaweed was crisp and fresh, not chewy or tough. One thing to note is that this isn't the place for overly sauced or extravagant sushi rolls. They keep it simple and traditional, letting the freshness of the ingredients shine. No fancy toppings or drizzles, just pure, high-quality sushi done right. And honestly, that's what makes it stand out. If you're looking for an authentic sushi experience with some of the freshest fish in LA, Asanebo is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back. ”

“ One of my absolute favorite sushi spots. Yes it's pricy, there is zero ambiance but the food is to die for. The parking situation is rough (valet with a tiny lot and a lot going on, makes me extremely nervous). Everyone needs to experience this restaurant at least once in their life. ”

“ Some of the best sushi in Los Angeles, everything was of excellent quality and so fresh. We loved the spicy tuna crispy rice, loved the all the different types of tuna, probably the best scallops I have had my entire life. Everything was absolutely delicious. The service here is absolutely amazing, everyone with big smiles and super kind and extremely attentive. Easily because my favorite sushi spot in LA. Great ambiance, parking is crazy in this area so valet is super convenient too. Valet parking staff was super nice as well. ”

“ Refreshed review as we've been here multiple times before but kinda went downhill after COVID with the outdoor seating and seemed the sushi was a bit subpar too. They now got rid of the outdoor seating and everything is back inside. The sushi is still some of the best, just as it was. The adornments on the nigiri are very creative. There are 3 types of omakase and we did the sushi omakase which comes with 14 pieces, and appetizers and miso soup. We also got the lava cake desert and did feel it was more than enough food. The other omakase courses I remember had even more food and then more extravagant dishes, but a bit too much to eat for us these days. Service was very attentive and efficient. Ambiance was nice inside, can get a bit noisy and crowded as the space is small, but very classy. Tables and chairs are also quite upscale. One thing I would say is I agree with another reviewer- the sushi omakase plates are served 7 at a time, and wish they would slow them down a bit and divide the portions into fewer sushi pieces at one time - at least for the sushi omakase. ”

“ Came here with a buddy after a Six Flags trip since it was on the way back home. Called to get a reservation same day and got seated at the sushi bar. We found street parking not too far but the area can be a little tricky. The sushi bar sits about 8 ppl and they also had some tables as well. I always choose the bar if I can cuz I love interacting with the chefs. We both opted for their sushi omakase course and it did not disappoint!! The best experience was probably with the sushi chefs and manager. They were absolute hoots and were just an absolute great time. The sushi itself was also to die for. I loved the sea bass miso soup, the fish was buttery and melted in my mouth. I pretty much loved all the nigiri except for the mackerel which isn't general is not really my favorite. They were all seasoned perfectly with really great accoutrements that paired well with each fish. We even got some dessert and the staff was nice enough to include samplers of all their different handmade ice creams when we couldn't decide which kind to get. And it was all delicious. I honestly cannot wait to come back again, I would rank this top 3 of sushi places I've been to when you contemplate the quality, price, and service/experience. Loved it and honestly can't wait to come back again. ”

“ Classic, super efficient sushi spot. The $140 omakase took about 30 min. Enjoyed the scallop salad and mushroom miso soup that started off the omakase course. The uni and the tuna from Spain were standouts. Could have done without the white fish that was on the chewy, muscular side - overpowered by citrus. Overall a solid omakase course and fast service. Generous portions of fish. Ambiance was nothing particularly unique; I did notice the edges of sushi display case could be cleaner as the ends of my sushi sometimes ended up on there when it was placed on the dish by the chef. I called at 5:30 pm on a weekday and was able to get a 7 pm reso same night at the sushi counter. ”

“ Sushi at its best! Seating by the bar definitely helped as I see them prepare the sushi. Fish looks and tastes fresh. Let me warn you though it is pricey but for me it's worth a try, my eldest son who cannot do no wrong in my eyes - requested to try this sushi place and I'm happy to oblige. It's been a couple of weeks since we ate here but I kept some photos for reference. Hyu was handling our orders and what's good with sitting on the bar is that you see all these amazing sushi they prepare. The price is per sushi so it's easy to rack up on the bill. We are still a little under for me to think we should've done the omakase. Since it's just 2 of us we ordered several types of sushi and a couple of sushi rolls. We shared a soup and dessert. We also had hot green tea. The cheapest omakase is $140, they also serve wagyu. Servers and sushi chefs are great and when you can definitely sit by the bar. The place is small so reservation is a must. I called my reservation in a day before for a Saturday night 7:30pm seating. Busy area so unless you over or get dropped off there you'll have to shell out extra $$ for valet. ”

“ Had a lovely dinner at Asanebo! We had an amazing server, Meme, who went above and beyond and provided EXCEPTIONAL service. The fish was so fresh and just melts in your mouth, everything was great quality. They even make their sesame ice cream in house.. I will be back. ”

“ I'm back for the 90 millionth time and it's always nice to be greeted by Manny and Tetsu who is the humble owner and Michelin rated chef! The sashimi is always phenomenal and the oshinko is my favorite non sushi dish. It's really expensive but soooooo worth it!!! ”

“ Came here on a recommendation for a birthday dinner. Valet parking only but we street parked nearby. Tiny spot in a lot shared with another restaurant - the space fills up quickly and a reservation is recommended but you need to call to get one. Omakase looked interesting but we really just wanted to go for the things most interesting to us so we ordered a la carte. Be prepared to spend when you're here, but the great part is that it's actually worth it. The sticker price on the sashimi was hard to get past but it was SO GOOD I had no regrets about ordering it. ”
