Sushi Sazanami

Great food! I love the variety of sushi especially the baked salmon and the Mex-Cal rolls, and I love the recommendation of the short ribs!

A little neighborhood gem: Sazanami offers good quality and authentic sushi at a reasonable price. All the dishes were tasty and the servers were very friendly. At the counter, omakase only.

What a fantastic sushi bar. This is my third or fourth time here in the last year or so. We normally have omakase which is chef 's choice . The chef will orchestrate the meal with attention paid to the order of which fish is served and how it is prepared. This way a stronger flavor will not overpower a more mild one. Reservations for this are highly suggested. I highly look forward to my next visit

We came here on a Saturday night at 7:00 pm for our first time. There were a total of two people in the entire place. I walked in excited to try. The place is very nice and clean inside, good design and ambiance. I went to the bathroom to wash my hands, NO hand soap but the bathroom was clean. Went back to my seat and we ordered. The sushi chef was a very nice guy, very friendly and talkative to us. We had a good conversation going until the rude waitress came over and said only talk to her. Both of us and the sushi chef looked at her like she was nuts. The waitress was horrible. The sushi was somewhat good, however completely OVERPRICED!! $7/$8/$9 for two pieces of sushi. If the prices were fair I probably would have overlooked the rude waitress, or maybe not but the prices for sushi here is outrageously expensive. I can see why the place was completely empty during prime time on a Saturday night. The sushi quality was good but I've had the same good and better at many sushi places in LA for $4/$5/$6 for two pieces of sushi with much friendlier waitresses. Sushi: 1 salmon, 1 yellowtail, 1 albacore, 1 mackerel. Hot Food: 1 shrimp tempura appetizer, 2 pork belly appetizers. Drinks: Tap water. Bill amount: $75 w/tip. We would have eaten five times the amount of food we ordered here if it wasn't for their insane prices. We didn't want to spend $300 to be full so we left HUNGRY, then went next door and ate pizza at Gino's. I will probably never come back here again based on how overpriced everything is. Note to Sushi Sanzanami: Bring your prices down significantly without sacrificing sushi and food quality. People will not walk out the door feeling ripped off and they will come back. Fire the rude waitress.

Amazing dine in experience! The staff is welcoming. The atmosphere is cozy, clean and classy. The food was high quality and super delicious! 10/10 would recommend!!!
