Zubora Sushi

$$$ Yes its a bit expensive but worth a try if youre already tired of conveyor type sushi. Located close to the Iwakuni Train Station just beside the Osaka Yakitori (which is also good, I made a separate review for this), quite easy to find. Payment: Cash, Credit Card (they accept major credit cards) Price: the photo attached here with costs us 1,000 yen. Waiting Time: sushi are made with fresh fish and sea stuffs, if they run out of it and means its done. 1 platter (see pic attached) took 15ish minutes to be prepared coz the restaurant is almost full. Good thing we ordered skewers which is tasty too! Reservation: i dont actually know if they take up reservation, but when we came here around 6:30ish seats (Table type for 4 people) are almost full but they have a few seats available on the counter which I recommend! Coz you get to see the display of fresh meat and how they make your sushi fresh and clean and fast. Language: they have an english menu available. Staff: i could say they are okay.

This place was a lot of fun. The chefs are incredibly interactive with you and offer their best recommendations of the day while seated with them. We ordered yakitori, sushi, and baked oysters. All were absolutely delicious. They had a really fun environment and lots of options for dining.

I’ve been going here for years and the food is always delicious!! When I go, I have to order their yakitori and their yaki musubi (grilled rice ball). The assorted sashimi platter is always a must too. The sashimi is always really fresh. I think the prices are reasonable for the quality of food that is served. English menu is available.

Chacka likey, the rolls were super tasty and prices not to bad in yen. We gobbled down a ton of it on our way out of town. Super clean and neat inside. Filled up on way to catch the Shin....

Great sashimi and sushi restaurant. Really authentic atmosphere with traditional sushi chefs and local decor. You can get food by the plate of set meals. We tried lots of different plates.

This place was just what I needed. It was not too crowded when I went in so I just sat at the counter and asked the fellow to give me whatever he thought was good. I got some sweet salted sardine sized fish in picked onions, a sashimi selection and some calamari.

Make sure to preorder a dinner set if you plan on ordering one. We didn't find this spot till last second so we didn't have the opportunity to try their dinner set(s). They have an English menu if needed. The fish and veggies are superbly fresh and I'd have to say it's hard to say finding a spot like this in LA is almost impossible. Not for the types looking for Americanized sushi rolls, but a must spot if you're into non watered down Japanese food. Nice and cozy, hole in the wall spot. The two of us walked out full and content with a tiny bill of $52. Can't beat that. Definitely want to go back!
