Sasabune

About this business

This Upper East Side sushi bar is not one of those places where pseudo or watered down versions of sushi make their way to your plate. You get to eat the real stuff here. The sign displayed at the entrance says "today's special, trust me". And you will more than trust the chef for the delectable fresh seafood. The Omakase menu changes daily but has some regular favorites. The decor is minimalist, almost non-existent except for some bamboo that serves as the only adornment. Sasabune is the place to be for authentic sushi.

1st This was my first experience with this place. Excellent quality fish--nearly every piece melted in my mouth. I like sushi, but NOW i can see why people love sushi so much. Tiny, so quarters are tight.

Our meal here was highly dissapointing..We are sushi fanatics and love Sushi of Gari and Sushi Seki in NY ..We had been to Sasabune in LA and wanted to try NYC location.It was not good...It really had no special flavorings and some of the sashimi was freezing cold, and some was almost warm. For the first time both my husband and I got a fishy taste ..like it was not fresh...so much so we came home and had hot water with lemon to try to get rid of the bad taste...We sat at the sushi bar and the wall next to me was filthy, rea... read more

Super Expensive – I'm an avid sushi eater from NYC and I've been to Japan. I do my fair share of fine dining. This restaurant was much more expensive than I expected (and I'm not cheap). It cost $270 per couple. That included the prix fix menu and a $60 bottle of saki (shared by 4). Without the saki, the price would have been $240 per couple. I take blame for being surprised by the cost because I should have asked more questions before I ate. For example, from the bill, it appeared that we actually got charged per piece; so ... read more

Oustanding Sushi – From the outside it looks like a regular sushi place where people normally order take out or delivery, but don't let it fool you. This place by far is one of the best sushi place in NYC. They literally fly the fish from Japan!! Talk about fresh!! The price is a little in the high side and there's no menu. The sushi master will create whatever he desires that day and it is up to you to eat it. If this sounds scary, don't be, because his creation are spectacular! If you like fresh sushi and sashimi like the ... read more

Best Sushi in NYC!! – The best sushi I had in NYC!! I went there several times and never disappointed, sit in the sushi bar if possible. Omakase only, the chef make the next piece of sushi only after you finished your piece, the rice in the sushi is still warm while you eat it. Kumamoto oysters, abalone sashimi (whole) in half shell, uni and salmon roe, etc, everything that I was served was top quality and fresh. Highly recommended.
