Seabutter - Glendale

I went to Seabutter this afternoon and all I can say is wow! The quality and freshness of the fish was excellent, and the flavors of the sushi were very unique and delicious.The Kanpachi Yuzu was TO DIE FOR!Most importantly, I'd like to thank Zoé for his phenomenal customer service. He made it such an enjoyable lunch and gave wonderful recommendations.

Ordered Seabutter through DoorDash. We ordered a bunch of sushi and a few hot dish items for 4 people to try a lot of things. The food came quickly and was impeccably packed but the quality and taste absolutely does not match the price. Two of the cut rolls were not even cut all the way through causing the pieces to fall apart when we picked them as they were still stuck together. The tuna on top of the YTJ roll tasted off. Not good poison bad, but definitely wasn't the freshest. Most of the other food was under seasoned and portions were very small. I wouldn't mind the small portions if the quality was high and the flavors were outstanding but it was not. The best thing we ordered was the veggie udon we got for my toddler. Unfortunately we came away very disappointed with this meal, especially with how much we spent. Probably won't order again (and this is the 2nd time I've ordered with the same thoughts).

Food is excellent. Everything taste good. Customer service is great. Inside looks decent and clean. Great job. Will be coming back @synthstudio (instagram)

When driving through Glendale, we noticed a new sushi place had opened and decided to give it a shot. It is located across the street from the Americana mall and is housed where a former fast food place was located. We were able to secure a reservation and headed over for dinner. Upon arrival, we were shocked at the transformation of the space. It is sleek and modern, a huge contrast from the previous tenant. We approached the host and were taken aback by her lack of enthusiasm or eye contact. She tried seating us at a table by the front where everyone has to walk past you. This choice of location, despite there being many open and available tables, was not a positive start to this meal. We asked to be seated elsewhere and she complied but with the energy of a sloth. Thankfully things picked up from there. Our server and all of the accompanying staff was energetic, outgoing and friendly, the complete opposite of the host. Our server guided us through the menu and made some suggestions. We ended up with a tempura, a sashimi, a roll and some pressed sushi, something I was not all familiar with. The items came out quickly and all exceeded our expectations, especially the pressed sushi since it was our first time experiencing it. All of the seafood was very fresh and the composition of the dishes was quite nice.We will definitely return to Seabutter. While it's a bit on the pricey side, the quality of the fish and the outstanding staff (not the host) make us want to come back for more. If it weren't for the host, this would have been a 5-star review.

Glad to see the former Big Chicken spot get an upgrade! Loved the sushi we ordered and I can see why they went with the name Seabutter - the texture of everything was so smooth, creamy, and well buttery! You can tell they are using quality sea food for every bite. The highlight for me was the sexy albacore dish with crispy onions, but my husband loved the 2 crispy rice dishes we got best. Service was super friendly & speedy. It was pretty empty when we started lunch but it was starting to pick up as we left. Wish they had outdoor seating available, especially when the weather is nice - maybe those tables are coming after they've settled in to the new space a bit more? I can hope at least! Will definitely be back as this is now my fave sushi spot in the vicinity.

We got there as soon as it opened and there were people already seated. It's a very popular restaurant in Glendale. Ambiance is very crisp and clean, not much decor. Overall the service was fine, but we had to wait a bit for our server to come to our table. Perhaps they may need two servers. Food: I had seen the crispy ride from Seabutter being advertised so I had to go. I was not disappointed, they are delicious. The yellowtail hamachi was to die for. Very flavorful, it melted in your mouth. I would definitely go again. Check it out and cheers, Barbara

Came here last Sunday at 1pm and it was empty! Which I loved, we got seated immediately and our food came out quickly. The gentleman who sat us, gave us over the top customer service. I can't remember his name but he has a man bun, it was probably the best customer service I've received in LA. The food was delicious as well. My favorite was the HYE : minced yellowtail belly, sesame oil, truffle, kizami wasabi, sea salt. So yummy! Will definitely be returning.

Postmates order, everything was nicely package and seal nicely..arrived on time as well. Food quality could be better, the uni/scallop was good wish the uni was bigger piece. The maki's were tasty the pressed toro and sunset had great flavor combination loved that they separated all the sauce so it didn't soggy the rice. Salmon truffle nigiri was good, my son wanted more. Spicy tuna crispy rice wasn't crispy because it was delivered would have to eat it at the restaurant. Would come to the restaurant to dine in next time.

I'm going to start with the service for the first time, the service alone I gave it 5 stars! Our server Marcus was exceptional, we had a really big group that included 3 kids and a new born and he was so nice and positive from start to finish. Typically a big group like this with kids and everyone being disorganized and not paying attention would irritate any server, totally thought he would be faking his 'niceness', but he was so genuine, he was awesome. Their staff were all hands on and everyone was great, but Marcus definitely stood out.This location was much bigger than I anticipated, great if you have a big group or even if it's just the two of you. Very casual, and great location right across from the Americana. Now to the food, I did not focus too much on the food with everything going on around us, but everything I tried was great! I had a little bit of everything, it wasn't my absolute favorite sushi in La but it was better than most. I will definitely come back again. This was much better than their handroll bar in studio city.I really liked the pressed tuna, has a great Smokey/char finish, and also really liked the hot night roll. Those I would definitely order again. The tuna explosion was a bit underwhelming, but it's still good.

First time here, we chose Seabutter randomly while at Americana at Brand shopping area. It was an anniversary dinner for my brother and sister-in-law.The restaurant recently opened in Glendale and the space they are in is on the smaller side, but light and airy.They call their food modern sushi and they do have some unique items on the menu.We shared an order of the garlic edamame and ordered a rainbow roll (made with blue crab vs dungeness), daddy long legs (soft shell crab), the hottie (low carb) and pressed toro (think a layered roll cut into rectangles). The Wasabi served seemed to be freshly ground based on texture, but I didn't confirm that. The food was tasty, although my brother said he prefers dungeness in his rainbow rolls. I throughly enjoyed the items I tasted, including the rainbow. Everything was super fresh.Only three minor things keep this from 5 stars, our main waiter seemed a bit aloof and distracted, but that could have been due to how many tables he was managing. The support team was attentive and friendly. The cute, but super messy soy sauce pot (I understand they are replacing them) and lastly, there was no acknowledgement of the special day we were celebrating, even though I mentioned it when we were seated. Overall I would go back and recommend the restaurant to others.
