While the exterior leaves this place looking anonymous at best, and the interior is sparse, the sashimi is the best I have ever had. Everything on the menu is worth a try. The price reflects the quality.

You can always count on getting the best tasting fish - sashimi or sushi style - any day of the week except for Mondays. There closed on Mondays. The Japanese Red Snapper sashimi with citrus and salt...

This sushi is amazing. Best sushi I have ever had. I highly recommend going here at least once. Small restaurant, so make sure you make reservations. Enjoy!

We read about Asanebo in Zagats 2006 edition and just HAD to try it. Having gone to some of the best sushi restaurants all over L.A., we wanted to see if this place lived up to the review written in there. It...

No prices on the menu board. Be prepared to have 'melt in your mouth' Japanese food Kaiseki style. It's hard to make a mistake here. It's all good!

This was by far the best sushi we have had since we moved to LA from New York! The sashimi was the freshest we have ever had...just melts in your mouth! The service was fabulous! Extremely friendly wait staff...

I had walked in with high expectations of this place due to a friend's recommendation, and I would say that although the service was good and the menu featured atypical Japanese dishes, the food was...

I would say that this is a decent restaurant. I wasn't overly impressed with the freshness of the fish (both Yabu on the west side, and Shaab in Pasadena are better in my opinion). I had heard great...

Asanebo features the most amazing sushi dishes. Ever. Omakase is a must, and the experience rivals that of Matsuhisa (except in the decor department). To call Asanebo a sushi restaurant is a bit of a...

read an article in l.a. mag recently that was talking about the "best" sushi places in the city and this was in it. while a few places on that list shouldn't have been and a few that should've weren't, they...

they seem to have had a great review and then let it slide or something... we tried it twice, and the sushi was dry, the atmosphere so so... if you want non sushi then you might like it. I suggest going to...

I was looking for a decent Japanese restaurant in the area when I came across this 'little gem' as other reviewers have called Asanebo. From the miniscule portion size to the unbelievably oily grilled dishes...

I've had plenty of sushi in Los Angeles but Asanebo is the best. My boyfriend and I were so surprised at the knowledgeable, kind and attentive wait staff. The sushi is out of this world, and trust me if they...

On the menu, it seemed Asanebo's prices were in line with most sushi places: around $6-$9 per order. We failed to realize that prices on specials are way OUT of line -- averaging $30-$40 per plate. We were...

Went here with a friend on a Friday night. No wait, got a table right away. The item that stands out most is the fatty tuna, really delicious and well prepared. Great service too! Check it out!

Every dish that comes out of either the kitchen or the sushi bar is a work of art which will make you question what exactly you have been eating all these years. The sashimi specials are a perfect way to start...

Best Sushi. Much of it is just as good as Matsuhisha, if not better. People who don't like this place simply don't know good sushi. Their totr, on one night, however, was chewy, not buttery. A dissipointment,...

This is the best Japanese in all of Los Angeles, or at least of all those that we've been to, and that's a lot. Every time someone says "we've got to try" a certain Japanese restaurant, we come away saying...

the most flattering way to describe this simple and friendly mini-mall discovery is to call it a "poor manis matsuhisa" as at that celebrated establishment, asanebo combines artistry with culinary proficiency...
