BANZAI SUSHI, CALABASAS

This has been my sushi spot for YEARS. Located a couple blocks from my house, Banzai sushi was my “go-to” sushi spot in high school. Whenever I’m home and am craving sushi, I go to Banzai.

Banzai is in Calabasas, right across from the famous Sagebrush Cantina, and also down the street from the Calabasas Commons. Sushi is one of my favorite foods, so I love a good sushi spot. I wouldn’t say Bonzai is the best sushi restaurant out there by any means, there are better places for sushi, but I really like Bonzai. It has a nice vibe, inside is always packed, and the outside heated patio (the patio is covered during winter) has flat screen TV’s that usually always has a sports game on. I usually like sitting on the patio.
One of my favorite sushi rolls ever is from Banzai. It’s called the Manhattan Roll. It’s a spicy tuna crunch roll, topped with avocado, eel sauce and spicy mayo. If you know me, you know I love anything with avocado! This roll has a lot of it…

MANHATTAN ROLL…my favorite!

This is my classic roll I get from Bonzai everytime. I also love Banzai’s Lobster Dynamite Roll. It’s heavy, but spicy and so good. I usually always order the Spicy Tuna on Rice Cake, they have a great one, but this time I didn’t. We got the Special Albacore Sashimi with jalepenos, garlic and fried onions in ponzu sauce, and also the Sea Bass appetizer which is freshly grilled in a miso sauce.
