What to order

Mabu Special Roll at AYCE Mabu Sushi
Eat in SGV Staff

Mabu Special Roll

Start with this

Named after the restaurant: spicy tuna and salmon sashimi on top, with avocado, spicy mayo, and masago. Crispy tempura shrimp inside, and it uses the cucumber skin, so it's a bit tougher to chew than most rolls.

Yuzu Salmon Nigiri at AYCE Mabu Sushi
Eat in SGV Staff

Yuzu Salmon Nigiri

Two pieces topped with yuzu kosho, soft and citrusy. One of the better bites on the table.

Salmon Sashimi at AYCE Mabu Sushi
Eat in SGV Staff

Salmon Sashimi

The salmon carries the whole menu here: soft, clean, essentially no fishiness.

Snow Crab Crispy Rice at AYCE Mabu Sushi
Eat in SGV Staff

Snow Crab Crispy Rice

Crispy on the outside, more rice-forward on the inside, topped with avocado and mayo. Good texture without tasting overly seafood-y.

California Roll at AYCE Mabu Sushi
Eat in SGV Staff

California Roll

A classic done straight, though they use the cucumber skin here too, which makes it a little tougher to bite through.

Spicy Tuna Roll at AYCE Mabu Sushi
Eat in SGV Staff

Spicy Tuna Roll

One of the traditional rolls with thin rice, a good pick if you'd rather taste the fish than a heavy sauce.

Yellowtail Hand Roll at AYCE Mabu Sushi

Yellowtail Sashimi

Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen at AYCE Mabu Sushi
Eat in SGV Staff

Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen

Broth could use more depth, but it's got real heat and a solid sesame kick. There's also a non-spicy tonkotsu and udon that are kid-friendly.

Taiyaki Ice Cream Dessert at AYCE Mabu Sushi
Eat in SGV Staff

Taiyaki Ice Cream Dessert

Crispy shell with good red bean flavor, filled with vanilla or chocolate ice cream. Order it early, it's popular enough to run out.

What we'd do

"If it's your first visit, start with the Yuzu Salmon Nigiri and the salmon-topped rolls. The salmon is the strongest thing on the menu, soft with almost zero fishiness. Stick to the more traditional maki and nigiri if you want to actually taste the fish instead of the spicy mayo and unagi sauce most of the specialty rolls carry. Save room for the tonkotsu ramen: it won't replace a dedicated ramen shop, but it's a legitimate item here, not filler."
