This restaurant is excellent: we had reservations and were seated quickly, even though it was busy. Our waiter was professional and polite and service was quick. The food is consistently delicious (and we ordered a ton so we’d have leftovers to bring home): their wonton soup is the best we’ve ever had; the mushu veggie wraps were delish (did not add the optional hoisin sauce); the chow fun noodles were perfect; the sweet pungent chicken was awesome; the phoenix chicken was great; spicy eggplant with tofu was mild and tasty; the shrimp spring rolls were crispy and loaded with shrimp (nothing else); the raspberry lemonade was perfectly tangy-sweet (although the raspberry flavor had a faintly artificial raspberry flavor); the complementary fortune cookies are dipped in delish white chocolate. We love this restaurant and its location, next door to the Laemmle theater & around the corner from the Alex Theater.

Our party dined on a Friday night for birthday celebration. We ordered family meal, the feast option, and there were plenty of choices of food for everyone and leftover to take home. Except the chicken, which was one of the main entrée was  undercooked, everything tasted good and we were very happy.  Our server was friendly and attended our table appropriately, but seemed a little overwhelmed with the crowd. Overall, we had a good time and I do recommend to others to try this place.

We are always treated so well at Sasabune which is why we choose it for special occasions. That, and the fact that the sushi is outstanding and always delectable. It reminds me of the old Sushi Nozawa in the best way.

Flawless dining experience. Rather eat here than any other steakhouse in the country. Get parking through Spot Hero on Selma and then walk up Cherokee and Musso / Franks is right there on Hwood blvd. Or you can do their valet parking. You won’t be disappointed.
