    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!

    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.

    Edamame.. They only had one size..

    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.

    Gorgeous green tea tempura ice cream!

    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

    Volcano Roll
    Anton F.

    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

    Sadly, this takeout salmon roll was virtually inedible

    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.

    Lunch special
    Michelle B.

    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.

    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.

    Ask the Community - Shiki Sushi

    Do you still do variety served on a sushi boat?

    Yes they do

    Do they have gluten free options on the menu? Do they have HF soy sauce or Tamari?

    Not on the menu but they do have hf soy & tamari. They were kind of annoyed with the whole celiac scenario when we tried it. Iroha down the street bent over backwards to assure my partner her meal would be gluten free w/o cross contamination.

    Do you need to show you're vaccinated?

    no! we walked in and got a reservation and nobody asked for any proof of a vaccine

    Is the crabmeat imitation or real?

    I believe they have both.

    Are you guys doing outdoor seating?

    Hello Nessa G. Thank you for having interest of us! I am sadly to say that we are not available… 

    Does this place still have a happy hour? If so, hours/days available?

    Yes...

    Does anyone know where they get the bean sprouts from? Please someone help me out or does anyone know what their called?????? I appreciate it! This place has one of the best sushi's I've had and I've had a lottttt of sushi lol.

    Moyashi I don't know where Shiki gets it from but you can find it in any Japanese store.

    We celebrated my sister's 30th birthday at Sushi Tomoki and chose the omakase experience, and it…read morewas absolutely worth it. Located on Ventura Boulevard, Sushi Tomoki is a small, intimate sushi restaurant with a clean, minimalist Japanese aesthetic and a relaxed atmosphere that lets the food take center stage. (The Infatuation) Since we were dining with our 22-month-old, we requested a table instead of sitting at the sushi bar, and the staff was very accommodating. They even prepared a customized tamago sushi roll for our little one, which he absolutely enjoyed. The omakase was thoughtfully paced, with each piece served one at a time so we could fully appreciate every bite. The fish was incredibly fresh, and every piece practically melted in our mouths. The attention to detail and quality of the ingredients really stood out. The only piece that wasn't my favorite was the sushi topped with mint. It simply wasn't my personal preference, though I'm sure those who enjoy mint with savory dishes would appreciate it. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Everyone was warm, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. They made my sister's birthday even more special by singing Happy Birthday and surprising her with complimentary sherbet and four pieces of green tea mochi--a thoughtful touch that ended the evening on a high note. Overall, Sushi Tomoki delivered a memorable omakase experience with outstanding sushi, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

    So today was the day to visit this lovely, semi medium size restaurant that had so much charm and a…read morewonderful service by everyone! We walked in at 6:40pm and got a nice welcome from Mediko. Without having a reservation, she sat us down immediately. Our server Meika approached us right away to take our order. We started off with a standard size of Garlic Edamame ($6.80), and then ordered few other cut rolls. Spicy Tuna Cut Roll--for 10 pieces ($14.80), Albacore Fried Onion Roll-- count of 12 for ($20.80), Zero Roll-- count of 12 for ($25.00), Rainbow Roll-- count of 12 for ($10.80). Everything was so LIGHT, FRESH and DELICIOUS!!! They also have hand rolls, and other types of cut rolls. They have street and metered parking. Before I forget, we ordered Crispy Rice Tuna that came in (2) pieces for (13.50). The minute I saw that, it made me laugh. Called our server and told her to take that back and remove it from the bill which she gladly did. I thought it was going to be an actual full course rolls. They also have dessert but we didn't order anything. Restaurant was very quaint, limited decor, very busy for Monday mid evening, and was very nice and clean. Total came out to be $95.70 including tax minus the tip. I'm sure they also have a bathroom, but we didn't end up using it. I will return, but not any time soon. They also don't have any Bento Box type of food. Very authentic place to go on a date, friends, family or even dine solo. They also have a Sushi Bar. Alcohol wise, only have beer, wine and sake along with 2 fridges full of cold drinks.. Thank you all very much!!

Seated in a rather interesting part of North Hollywood, the summer heat did not deter us from eating here, as the smell immediately brought my worries elsewhere. A vast majority of the food here was fantastic, and the only reason I was going to opt for 4 stars was the takoyaki had quite a tiny portion in the actual dough ball- despite the actual breading so soft and fluffy, it was like the most delightfully extravagant packaging for something that was a bit of a let down. Though, much to the credit of our waiter she understood and offered to swap it out for another appetizer, which probably deserves the vast majority of the praise here. The vegetarian dumplings we ordered were legitmately some of the best dumplings I've had period. From the vegan mayo to the best gentle heat I've ever had the experience I've eating. Just hot enough for a brief moment with delightful heat throughout. The chicken skewers we had and the calamari were solid and with a perfectly paired Thai Iced Tea, I only hope to visit again and drown in dumplings. Cheers!
