Customer Reviews

They are famous on social media for their fun videos, but the owner and the staff here are true professionals who are genuinely dedicated to Japanese cuisine! We visited with family and close friends to celebrate, and enjoyed a full course meal. Since I’m pregnant, they kindly prepared a special menu without raw items just for me, which I truly appreciated. It had been a long time since I last had Japanese food this delicious, and I was really touched. The creative use of ingredients like truffle and cilantro made the course exciting to enjoy all the way to the end. Not only the fish, but also carefully selected ingredients like tomatoes and Brussels sprouts were outstanding, showing their dedication to quality. After dining here, I completely understand why this place has been loved for so many years!

This is one of the absolute best and must-visit sushi restaurants in Los Angeles. I made an early reservation for Friday night at 5:30 but arrived around 5:15. I was the only diner for almost an hour but had the honor of sitting at the bar in front of Chef Tetsu's station and he is seriously one of the nicest, most humble, and most talented sushi chef's in Los Angeles, in California, in the USA, in the world. I kept ordering dish after dish, fish after fish, because each and every item put in front of me was so fresh, unique, flavorful, and delicious. Chef Tetsu is very welcoming and happy to talk about all things sushi, Japan, his restaurant, staff, and more. His staff too are all so incredibly kind and attentive. I loved all the nigiri, each one with a complex and unique flavor profile. My favorites were the golden baby snapper, zuke tuna, marinaded salmon. The miso black cod was so soft, umami filled and delicious. The truffle was outstanding. The spicy tuna crispy rice was perfect. The yaki toro was seriously butter. The scallops were incredible. The ono handroll was excellent. Everything was sublime. Worth every single penny and every single second at Asanebo. I can't recommend this place enough

Absolutely phenomenal experience. I got the full Asanebo tasting menu, and every course was exceptional. From start to finish, the quality, creativity, and presentation blew me away. The nigiri was incredibly fresh and perfectly balanced, the wagyu was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the soft shell crab—which I had for the first time—was a total standout. Every bite was memorable. The service was outstanding too—attentive, friendly, and made the whole evening feel special without being overbearing. You can really feel the care and passion behind every detail here. If you’re looking for a high-end sushi experience that delivers on both flavor and hospitality, Asanebo is a must. Will definitely be coming back.

We've been coming to Asanebo for decades and the restaurant has always served the best sushi in the Valley. The sushi dishes here are unique with creative sauces and the freshest fish, and the service is always warm and attentive. We always order from the a la carte menu and really enjoy all of the chef's specials.
