Strip mall sushi. Decent enough, but with lousy service. Good if you are jones'in for sushi and are in the neighborhood, but there are lots of good sushi places right up the street like Sushi Nishi.

I came here with a friend who absolutely loves this restaurant. We came early enough that we waited maybe 5 minutes for a table for dinner, which was awesome since she told me there is usually a crazy wait. The waiter suggested we try the "Trust Me" after he explained the menu, and that's what we both got. The small sushi plates kept coming, and I was definitely full at the end. The fish tasted so fresh, and everything was delicious! I like how they told us to eat everything right away and not add any sauce if a plate already had it on it. Definitely my first experience with a menu like this, and I loved it!

Nice restaurant on Wilshire. The food is good. The appetizers are the best part. The menu seems confusing to me... like you canât get traction anywhere though.... especially for a nice expensive restaurant. For example: on one hand they have Artichoke Spinach Dip with Nacho chips and on the others thereâs Thai Tuna Sushi Rolls. Quite a mixed bag. But when you find a lane itâs really good. And the service is really great too.

The sushi remains very good in freshness and flavor. I usually get the sashimi or sushi combo, and upgrade with the $1 spicy ahi. The sushi here is so much better than the near by highly overrated Sugarfish. You can order what you want, and eat it however you like. Service is friendly, and parking is always plentiful. However...don't try to show off your Japanese speaking...as they are Korean :)

I'm conflicted. A great restaurant should have both delicious food and great service; sadly, Shibuya lacks one. I could rave on for hours about the food -- best sushi in Southern California, freshest fish around -- but other reviewers have already done it justice. Instead, I want to talk about my main grievance against Shibuya: the service. Based off my experience, Shibuya does not know how to treat their customers. To start off, Shibuya does not take reservations -- understandable -- but to secure a table, the process is horrendous. Essentially, they put a list on their door at 2:30 pm and Calabasasians flock far and wide to write their names down.Then at dinner time, in an almost lottery like manner, they begin calling off names, favoring the few who came earlier in the day. In my opinion this system takes the enjoyment out of dining, turning it into a mad competition. Furthermore, the service inside the restaurant is cold and near nonexistent. As there are always people waiting for a table, you are rushed, expected to eat within an hour. The servers take your order once, never to be seen again, and many of them didn't seem to take pride in their job. Multiple orders came out wrong, and we also received items that we did not order. Of course, what we received was amazing, so how we received it is where I took issue. To those of you willing to endure the wait and bad service, I give you a warning. The ambiance inside the restaurant, to some, may be bothersome as the space is small and old. Personally, I enjoy the hole-in-the-wall vibe but at times, constantly bumping into the table next me was testing.

It is so nice to eat out at a place where everyone on down the line at this sushi restaurant is friendly, laid back and unpretentious. I found the dynamite roll with scallops, mushrooms and cheese was absolutely Sensational.It was great drinking saki with hot green tea. I found the grilled rib eye was Sensational.This place is definitely the "X" on the Treasure Map.What a cool place with cool staff!

This place serves high quality sushi in a strip mall about mile up north from nobu. We had 5 plates of sushi, all excellent quality, a bottle of sparkling water and a quality 11oz sake for 169 dollars. Forgot to mention 4 pieces of shrimp tempura at 9 dollars. You donât get the nobu view, actually quite the opposite but the fish is high quality and plentiful.
