At Sasabune, you can't get it your way. Chef Seiji Kumagawa serves sushi his way and if you don't like it, well, go to another sushi bar. What chef Kumagawa serves you, though, is fresh and sweet seafood: tuna from Ecuador; albacore from… Read Full Editorial

Good: Emphasis on quality, and cell phones forbidden. Bad: Surprisingly Arrogant wait staff. Improvements: Service first! Restaurants arent just about food.. Other: As soon as I entered I was struck by the large placard warning that they…
Some explanations by crowninthesky via Citysearch on 6/12/2009
Yes, it's expensive, weird neighborhood, smallish space, bossy chef, no cell phones, etc.
But it's the best sushi in Honolulu. Yes, you can go to Yohei for "good" sushi and Mitch's for "good" seafood. But Sasabune is for people who know…
Oishi!!! by dankam via Citysearch on 9/19/2007
Definitely worth it! A bit expensive but worth it! I was raised in Honolulu and every time I return I HAVE to go to this restaurant! My mouth waters just thinking of it!
BEST sushi in the US! by bossdude via Citysearch on 2/19/2007
sensational, amazing, unbelivable, astounding ... only these words can articulate the overall quality of the sashimi/sushi. The lobster sashimi, abalone sashimi, toro, sweet shrimp was SO good that I couldn't believe it was true. Super…

we went to this one after reading the reviews (9.2 overall) for lunch.\r

when we got to the restaurant, the lady told us that each person have to order at least 4 orders on order to avoid so-called "service charge". (miso soup and rice…
Best sushi ever, make a reservation and trust the chef! by remy554 via Citysearch on 10/30/2006
I was reluctant to eat at this tiny sushi place at first. I was especially reluctant to eat the chef's special for the night "Trust Me!". The first plate was served and I was in heaven. The albacore and yellowfin marinated in whatever…
By far the best sushi in Hawaii! by kailuatownmama via Citysearch on 8/2/2006
Easily the best sushi to be found in the Pacific. By far the best sushi I've ever had and I've eaten quite a bit in my time. SOOOO fresh, simply prepared and served by very polite, knowledgeable attendents to the chef who will tell you…
The best sushi I have ever had in my life! by mavenslure via Citysearch on 7/22/2006
The commercial main street and store front may have you questioning " am I in the right spot?" \r
The interior of the restaurant is plain as can be and you are not paying for ambience, thats for sure.\r
This place is expensive and so so…
Good Food, Great Experience by clrd2lnd via Citysearch on 6/25/2006
The frestest Sushi we have ever tasted! You do not order what you want, the sushi chef decides for you and he was 100 percent on point. Everything we tried was fantastic.
Melts in your mouth... by cramd2 via Citysearch on 4/8/2006
Truly - have eaten sushi of many kinds, in many places, and this is an incredible experience. Yes it's omakase style "trust me" so you have to be a bit brave, but there's never been a bite I didn't savor in many visits.
VERY fresh sushi,…
Sasabune - Clever Sushi Man by Sean L. via Judy's Book on 3/30/2006
Sushi Sasabune's "theme" is that you cannot order anything - diners need to be able to "trust" the sushi chef and he will decide what to serve you from the freshest fish available on that day.This is a very clever marketing scheme, one…
What an incredible experience! by stacyj via Citysearch on 10/29/2005
My fiance and I love sushi, but we are incredibly picky. At Sushi Sasabune, we were not given a menu and told to trust the Chef instead. We were initially worried, but after the first course were thrilled with our decision. We requested…

i have eaten sushi ALL over the world, nothing compares to this place. yes, indeed they have their rules about how you should eat the food, but just do it! the experience is well worth it!!!!!
go for it by rcleaves via Citysearch on 7/1/2004
Went with the chef's choice and it was the best fish I have ever had. You have to trust them, it is worth
it.
