While some of the best-known Japanese restaurants in the city are found on the stretch of Ventura Boulevard from Studio City to Sherman Oaks (affectionately known as "the sushi trail"), Asanebo is the one our reviewers claim is the best along that strip. The cuisine reflects both the classic style, with pristine cuts of fish covering compact mounds of highly polished rice, and more progressive preparations like chopped eel molded with rice and topped with sweet anago sauce or cooked dishes like steamed skate wings. In addition to the delicious food, they are known for "making you feel at home," an extra benefit given the reputation for gruffness that others on the sushi trail have earned. |
