    Post Valentine's date with my Lady at Asobu was a great choice. Saturday nights seem very busy at this relatively new place, so glad the buzz is finding it's way. Strongly recommend reservations if dropping by on weekend, as I saw a good number of folks had to be turned away because no rsvp. Enjoyed every aspect: food, service, the setting. All really cool, real DTLA, and not touristy Little Tokyo. Star of night was the Japanese Sea Bass, a finely slit carpaccio in a light oil base. May be one of best single dishes I've had in all DTLA restaurants. And big props to Kentaro, who took care of us all evening. Excellent service. By the way, can't go wrong on Sake choices, we went through a bottle of a semi-sweet, semi-dry Sake from a small region in Japan. Solid. Maybe next time the Omakase, which based on folks who ordered it, looked really interesting.

    We had our first omakase here and it was very delicious experience. We order the Yawaragi crusine course. Our sushi chef was a lady name Mihoh I believed and she was very skilled and talented. Will definitely come back and try other crusine courses.

    the first time we came here, it was outstanding. the crispy rice with tuna was so so good we had to order it a second time. the happy hour sushi plate was good as well. we tried so many different kinds of sushi and they were all amazing. the price is VERY reasonable for the high quality sushi and great sushi bar service. the first visit was a 10/10. the second time, we sat at the end of the sushi bar and had a server but she wasn’t as helpful as the previous time. but other than the service, the food was still amazing so i would rate the second visit a 9/10. best sushi i’ve had for sure.
