We had amazing service i highly recommend asking for waiter Luis. Great food great service.

I've been to Shiki Sushi several times over the years, and after a long break I finally came back. I have to admit, this just isn't my preferred style of sushi--but that's more about my taste than the restaurant itself. If you're someone who enjoys traditional, high-quality nigiri and sashimi, this probably won't be your go-to spot. Shiki is all about comfort sushi: big rolls loaded with imitation crab, creamy sauces, baked toppings, and bold flavors. It's rich, indulgent, and definitely on the heavier side. That said, when you're absolutely starving and just want something satisfying that hits the spot, Shiki delivers. The menu is huge with endless options, portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable. Every time I've come here I've ended up ordering specialty rolls instead of actual sushi because that's really what this restaurant excels at. I also have to admit... baked rolls are one of my guilty pleasures. A lot of higher-end sushi restaurants don't even serve them because they're more of a comfort dish than traditional sushi, so Shiki scratches that itch perfectly. The service was exceptional--friendly, attentive, and quick, which always makes the experience better. Will I be back? Probably not anytime soon, simply because I usually crave a more traditional sushi experience. But compared to other restaurants in this style and price range, Shiki does an excellent job. If you're looking for filling, flavorful specialty rolls with great value, this is an easy 5-star spot. read more

I have been going to Shiki since it opened. It used to be friendly and casual. I went there on Sunday night, there were 6 open tables and no line. I was rudely instructed to sign in on their tablet waiting system and told it was a 10 minute wait. I waited a few minutes and then I took my food and tip money somewhere else. What I used to like about Shiki was being able to walk up get a table quickly and sit down. It made dealing with the awful parking almost worthwhile. I will give it one more chance but if I need to sign in to dine they have lost me as a customer. Be nicer to your regular walk ins or lose them. There are plenty of other restaurants in the area. read more

I honestly can't believe I'm only now leaving a review for Shiki Sushi after coming here regularly for so long. This is hands down my favorite sushi restaurant in Los Angeles. We absolutely love this place and keep coming back again and again, whether it's for a special occasion or just because we want great food at reasonable prices. Everything here is so delicious. The sushi and rolls are amazing, the fish is always incredibly fresh and high quality, and their hot dishes are so underrated too. The miso soup is an absolute must every single time we come, I love it! At this point all the servers recognize us, and the staff is honestly one of the reasons we love this place so much. Everyone is endlessly friendly, welcoming, professional, and FAST. Even when they're busy, everything runs smoothly. The restaurant is always very clean, the atmosphere is comfortable and cozy, and the overall experience is consistently excellent. Shiki Sushi will always be one of our favorite spots in LA. read more

This place had great ratings and I found out about it through an LA sushi rec Instagram reel, but it was really not as great as expected... this is not an authentic sushi restaurant (they offer other cuisine styles as well), and though they have a variety of choices, the quality and flavor were definitely lacking. They have lunch specials that were okay, but I wouldn't come back. read more

Shiki Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Studio City, California

If any of you follow my reviews; you are no stranger to the fact that my ex-boyfriend and I have been on an all- important life quest to find our 'regular sushi spot'. You would think that with the endless plethora of sushi options in Los Angeles - this would be easy and that we would probably find a few new favorite eateries! Well, lo and behold, that isn't the case. Maybe we are picky but we haven't been able to find the Great Bambino of Sushi. The Muhammed Ali of raw fish cuisine. The Ghandi of hand rolls. The Beethoven of cold fish. Until now! Ladies and gents, we have discovered the gold medal winner of the coveted 'regular' space holder: Shiki Sushi in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood of the San Fernando Valley! Shiki Sushi is easy to miss as it is nestled in the very far back corner of a strip plaza near the Ventura/Coldwater Canyon intersection and is overshadowed by the new Sportsmen Lodge shopping complex. In fact, I happened to get lucky and see signage as we drove past and we decided to blindly pull into the plaza being so devoted to our cause to find our regular sushi spot. Shiki Sushi maintains its air of mystery externally looking sleepy but inviting at the same time; revealing a warm, dimly lit restaurant with two dining sections plus a sushi bar with warm wooden ambiance, retro Japanese decore accents and artwork galore. Shiki Sushi is surprisingly mid-grade elegant being a step up from casual. The vibe is vibing at Shiki Sushi! We were already feeling good about Shiki Sushi at this point which got bumped up some more when handed the menus that displayed beautifully plated sushi options with unique flavor/ingredient combinations. Plus, the tableside ginger and wasabi is supplemented by bean sprouts with some sort of seasoned topping. Oh dang, Shiki Sushi! Elevating with small details! Again, things were looking finnneee at Shiki Sushi! But the test isn't over just yet so failure is still a possibility. For our sushi feast, we ordered the Kanpachi Carpaccio (6 pieces amber jack topped with truffle paste, shiso and ponzu - $22.95), Kimi Sashimi bowl (15 pieces chef's choice - $46.95), Ex Girlfriend roll (tuna, crabmeat wrapped in soy paper topped with tuna, salmon and yellowtail with soy mustard dressing) and Maiko Roll (shrimp tempura, crabmeat, avocado, cucumber topped with seared salmon, crunch and spicy mayo - $17.95). We were absolutely floored by the speed of delivery to the plates to our tables without sacrificing the beautiful, artful plating that the menu suggested. The feeling of thrill was evident already but then we actually tasted the dishes... and whoa nelly! Shiki Sushi is amazing! Everything is bright, refreshing and perfectly balanced with top-quality fish. I can not stress enough the excellence at Shiki Sushi! My favorite was the Kanpachi Carpaccio with its truffle flavor and a vinaigrette I could drink: upscale at an affordable price. Based on the amazing ambiance, delicious food and fast service; we knew we found it! The winner of the search for our 'regular sushi spot'! But we weren't done just yet. We wanted to preserve the scientific method and test Shiki Sushi again a week later on a busy Friday night to check if really is fast and perfect or if it was a fluke visit. Although noticeably busier in attendance, the ambiance was still ideal with pleasant customer service. During this return visit test, we ordered Truffle Albacore Sashimi for my truffle obsession (6 pieces albacore sashimi served with truffle paste, truffle oil and soy mustard dressing - $22.95), Eel unagi sushi ($3.75), seaweed &cucumber salad ($8.95) and Raku Sushi (6 pieces chef's choice and California Roll). Shiki Sushi passed Round two, phase one of the test with the sushi once again arriving mega fast despite the busy Friday night clientele! Wowzas! The flavors and quality were once again on top with the eel being some of the best eel I've had, the Seaweed and Cucumber salad being exceptionally pickled and refreshing and my Truffle Albacore Sashimi being my favorite with the combination of the truffle and soy mustard (I really am a sucker for truffle!). Folks, there is no denying it: after two rounds Shiki Sushi is the winner of the coveted 'regular sushi spot' position. Shiki Sushi is the Zeus of sushi with restaurant esthetics, quality, speed, customer service, flavor and quality. The search for a regular sushi spot is closed. My boyfriend may now be an ex and no longer in the picture but Shiki Sushi is my new obsession and here to stay! read more

Truly one of the BEST Sushi in town. Isn't Sushi a beautiful food? Whether it's a hand roll or cut roll. I think it's also sexy. In my opinion and the opinions of so many it truly is. This hidden gem is tucked in all the way in the back of a shopping center. Walked in on Saturday 5/16 around 3pm and got a nice greeting from Rizky R. Waited for about 5 minutes for my friend to arrive and we were both seated the minute she walked in. The restaurant has so much history and is very pretty in it's own way. Nice art work all around. A Sushi bar, and it was quiet when we were there. They really have a lot of choices to choose from their extensive menu. We ordered from their Combination standard size menu. Spicy Garlic Edamame, 1 Blazing Sunset Roll, and a Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box that you get to choose 3 items: we went with Spicy Tuna Roll, Fried Beef Gyoza, and the Chicken Teriyaki itself. Everything tasted very fresh & delicious!! Edamame could have used just a bit more garlic. The highlight of our meal was the ( 4) piece Beef Gyoza. It was so flavorful and crisp on the outside. Another highlight was me teaching my friend to eat with chopsticks. She was a good student and a quick learner. I wanted to take a picture of her, but she refused. Maybe next time. Restaurant was super clean including their 2 gender neutral restrooms. I have been here so many times way before the Yelp years. It never disappoints. The only thing that was different was that they tore down their indoor patio and is just an empty space now. Thank you Shiki Sushi, management, and the other employees who gave our server a hand. Daniel, Jinie, Dream & Bernando. All great servers. Team work makes a dream work!! Plenty of parking spaces. read more

I've been coming here for a while and the food is always good! Always great service! Sushi is always fresh.

I'll start off with I really like this place, but when a business doesn't care about its customers then they really miss the mark. I took an uber here based on their yelp business hours only to find out they close early and don't close when Yelp says. I walked into a shut down restaurant and got no service when Yelp says 11pm is closing. I talked to the server about how I took an uber here and this was unacceptable and got a half assed sorry since there was no manager on duty. The server said he knows this is a problem and they can't change it. Imagine if I had been with my hungry girlfriend how embarrassing this would have been as I left the tinted restaurant to my uber driving away. I called two days later and had to leave a message for the manager to call me and it's been two weeks with no response. I RESEARCHED HOW A BUSINESS CAN CHANGE THEIR TIME ON YELP AND YELP MAKES THEM PAY TO DO IT. WHY WOULD YOU NOT JUST PAY AND FIX IT IF ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM???!! TIL this day, no response from the manager...thanks for ruining my night. read more

Shiki Sushi is one of my favorite sushi restaurants in the valley. When I was working at Nbcuniversal my boss (RIP) would always bring me here for lunch or a bite to eat after work. I love the ambiance and overall appeal of this place. The service is always top notch and the waiters and sushi chef's are always very nice and pleasant. Years ago, when I would come with my boss, we would always sit at the sushi bar to hang out with his friend who was one of the chefs. So last week, i decided to recommended this place to my coworkers for a work lunch and everything was just as I had remembered. I raved about this place to my coworkers and Shiki did not disappoint. The food was amazing! The fish was fresh, the bento box was probably the biggest bento box I have ever seen, and it was delicious! If you're in studio city, stop by for their bento lunch special. I promise you, you'll leave satisfied! Thank me later! OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros read more

This is the second time in a row I placed a takeout order and received very cheap salmon collar in my salmon roll. This white film means they are cutting way too close to the bone and passing it off to people who aren't dining in - probably to save a buck. Which means they are not trustworthy. I've dined at Shiki a handful of times and have actually found it very good. But it frustrates me to no end when a restaurant cheaps out by giving delivery/take-out customers lower quality food because they know they can't complain. I will never order from Shiki again. $11 for a salmon roll that was worse quality than Whole Foods is offensive. read more

Sushi Sunday up in here. The vibe is chill, the service is good and the food is great. Had a family lunch date having a grand time. The rolls, sushi, appetizers are all good. The edamame, shishito peppers and green beans are tasty. Salmon sashimi and the spicy tuna (whew) are delicious. The Volcano Roll is my favorite. The parking is a shared strip mall lot, gets crowded in the evening, especially on the weekends read more

Came here with my dad for lunch and ordered the lunch special which for the price is a fantastic deal. I opted for spicy tuna sushi roll and enjoyed the miso soup, tempura, and salad that came alongside this! I would definitely come back for lunch on the price alone and I thought the sushi was fairly fresh tasting. There's a huge parking lot here and we didn't need a reservation on a weekend. read more

When i go to a sushi place I feel they will have a certain strength, whether its the baked rolls or sashimi but with this place both were equally as good. Quick service, we got our food right away (dont let that scare you) AND the quality was very good. The fish was buttery and excellent. Baked rolls were tasty, fresh and hit the mark. This is one of the better places in the Valley and not that expensive as other well known spots. I recommend it and will be going again. read more

Met a friend here for lunch and thought it was good! I wasn't familiar with this restaurant and wouldn't hesitate to go back. The restaurant is tucked in the back of a strip mall, which meant fairly easy parking. Menu selection was decent, and both the food and the customer service were great. Prices were very reasonable. We ordered miso soup, edamame, spicy tuna crispy rice, albacore roll, and tempura. The spicy tuna crispy was my favorite! read more

Best value bento box lunch in the area in my opinion! Two items are $19.95 plus a few $2 & $4 items to pick from if wanted. It comes with soup, rice, salad and tsunami. Great friendly service. Every roll was fresh and good! Restaurant is spacious and clean, not very loud. read more

I really enjoyed this sort of hidden gem, you'd need to go in to immediately see it. The staff are all cool and welcoming, came in at a decent time, so was seated right way. Plenty options to choose from, they have a ramen special as well. You can taste the quality and especially for the price, it's very fairly priced. I like the exterior as well as inside, it feels cool and private even. The server, Alan is a genuine dude, appreciated his attentiveness. read more

On a pleasant Saturday afternoon, few things are better than a late lunch with good company, and few can do it better than this sushi place, with generous portions and delicious menu items I was astounded that our wallets remained largely in tact, and my stomach was delightfully pleased. The lunch Bento I ordered was filled to the brim with goodies, including tempura veggies, fried octopus and teriyaki chicken. The vibe was a perfect way to round out an early start to the evening and I'll be very glad when I get to eat get again, cheers! read more

I've been coming to Shiki for a good while now and can confidently say it's the best in the area. It can be a bit busy but that's is the cost of phenomenal food. They always have great music playing and it helps the fact that it feels like you're at your own dinner table when you're here. All that to now mention som of the best servers; Jinnie, Dream, and Rizky. They absolutely deserve all the thanks and praise. They are so fun to speak too and it feels like the food tastes better when they're around. Special thanks to the chefs that are always making me my huge sashimis. You guys will always be the best in my heart, so thank you. read more

It has become a staple place. Staff is friendly and knows us already. The chunk roll and garlic green beans are great and all of their hot plate dishes are great especially for my spouse who is not into raw food. It's a nice place for casual lunches, dinners and dates. Down to earth and good quality. Nice atmosphere. read more

Was recommended this spot by a friend, however, it disappointed greatly. I ordered several rolls and noticed that they use a majority of the red and brown part of the fish for their sushi/sashimi. It has a very strong fish order and very pungent fish taste. Those parts of the fish are typically not used for raw consumption as it does not have a delicate texture or flavor. will not be going back read more

It was my first time trying Shiki. I had only heard positive things about this place for so long. I was craving sushi and thought it was time to finally give it a try. I came by around 3 PM and there was zero wait on a Saturday. Their rolls are giant. My favorite had to be the Rolls-Royce roll. I think the picture I posted of it explains why it's my favorite. Then again, the Ventura roll also knocked it out of the park. They both tasted so incredible. This is in my top three sushi places of all time. The food comes out incredibly fast. It is a bit pricey, but I would say it's in my top three so it's worth the price tag. They have a lot of incredible rolls to choose from. I can't wait to come back here! Amazing service too. read more

I'm originally from Vancouver (where there are sushi restaurants every block), so my standards for good sushi are pretty high. Shiki is my go-to spot in studio city! Rolls, appetizers, and bentos all have the same taste as those in Vancouver and very authentic. Staff are very friendly, service is super fast, easy and free parking lot in the complex its located in, and very accommodating to dietary needs. I'm vegetarian and my partner eats meat, so can definitely say that you should give this spot a try! read more

The wagyu sushi was amazing and the price for the dinner enter and how much food you get its unreal must try this place out

Shiki Sushi is a solid go-to sushi spot in the Valley! The rolls actually hold their form and don't fall apart.....which, honestly, shouldn't even need to be a compliment, but so many sushi places these days fumble that basic detail. So, bonus points to you, Shiki! The menu is expansive, with plenty of specialty rolls beyond the usual suspects. The fish is fresh, the rice is soft (though I wouldn't mind just a touch more vinegar in the rice), and overall, it's a great spot. Now, the main reason I'm writing this review: the to-go/pick-up situation. I've never dined in, so I can't speak to the sit-down experience, but the takeout process? It's nothing short of a MESS. While the staff is always super friendly and helpful ONCE you're able to talk to someone, it's clear they're either always understaffed or just don't prioritize having someone up front to manage the chaos during busy weekend evenings. I've ordered from this location 5-6 times, and while the actual packing of the orders is fantastic--seriously, they include chopsticks (more on that later), generous soy sauce, plenty of napkins, wasabi, and ginger, it's getting to your food that's the problem. If it's busy and there are people waiting for tables, be prepared to awkwardly squeeze your way to the front and wait... usually around 10-15 minutes just to catch the attention of someone. Sometimes, they'll immediately grab your order, which is great. Other times, they ask you to wait while they seat the next party--even if your food is clearly sitting in plain view, labeled and ready to go. (Don't come at me for not just grabbing my order! The food is kept behind a desk area and it feels wrong to riffle through as if I am an employee!) I get that there's a flow to manage, but when you're just trying to grab takeout, it's frustrating to jump through hoops. If I'm in a hurry, I skip ordering from here because I know it'll be a hassle. And now, back to the chopsticks. These are hands down the best "single-use" chopsticks I've ever gotten from a sushi restaurant. They even come with illustrated instructions on how to use them, which is such a fun touch. I've definitely kept a few pairs for at-home use. 100/10. read more
