We expected the real Authentic omakase… but
The rice was too soft and wasn’t sushi quality
Clam was sandy
Most of the fish tasted just defrost
Toro was good.
Sweet soy sauce tasted cheap teriyaki sauce
Crab maki was canned crab with mayonnaise tasted terrible.
They use powdered wasabi
For $95 lunch omakase ….
Also no music made us feel uncomfortable.
Never go back

Small restaurant with sushi omakase. Waiters introduced sets with no prices, we asked to see the menu. Very attentive service. We got the $70 omakase.
Food: high quality thick cuts. Unfortunately a lot of the sushi pieces were just not salty enough, including ones with house soy sauce. An aside from food, we went on a hot summer day and the air conditioner was not enough.
My overall experience was not ideal so I would not go back again.

Ordered the “Tryout Omakase,” for pickup. Everybody loved it. I would have taken better photos but I couldn’t stop myself from eating one piece after another. All pieces were fresh and delicious. Will definitely come again when I revisit the city.

Loved the omakase experience. Feels like a hole in the wall joint but it’s a very beloved place. My aunt understands omakase very well and still remembers this place after 7 years

Trust me about this place. Been coming to Sasabune for many years and never disappoints.

Really loved the ‘tryout omakase’ takeout option! The texture, taste, and freshness of the fish was incredible (especially the toro and fluke). Rice was pleasantly warm and well-seasoned. Great portion size given the relatively affordable price. I’m sure the outdoor dining is pleasant as well, but I would highly recommend the ‘tryout omakase’ if you’re looking to take home a superbly memorable sushi experience that won’t crush the wallet!

Have been a couple of times for omakase. Love the low-key vibe but top-notch quality and service they provide. We were able to customize the omakase to exclude things we could not eat. Every plate was delicious. They also have a nice sake list with the ability to taste most bottles before committing.

Beware!! Ask for prices first!! And don’t believe what the waiter tells you–ask for a price list, or these people will rip you off.
We had 3 people eating 3 small plates of sushi and ended up paying nearly $300 for LUNCH!!! Immediately after sitting down the waiter brought out a $60 round of tuna. Had we known, or had we even been asked, about this “Chef’s Special” value, we wouldn’t have taken part. So, before course #2 we asked how much these tasty little morsels cost. The waiter explained that a full ten-course tasting of the Chef’s Special usually costs around $100/person. So, we decided to stop at course #3, under the impression that each dish costs around $10/person. We were misled. After seeing the outrageously overpriced bill (gratuity included, which our waiter also failed to mention), we spent a good half hour pondering how we’d run up these numbers, including several items the waiter charged us for that we hadn’t even eaten!!! He had to personally check his math in front of us several times! In the end we were still charged for $247 plus tax, for 18 pieces of sushi…
Having lived in Japan, and having heard all the over-touted reviews of Sasabune, I was extremely disappointed in this dishonest dining experience. Is the sushi good? Sure. But it’s not THAT good. The irony of it all is that the chef’s motto, inscribed on every wall, is “Trust Me.”
