I don't throw sushi opinions around lightly -- I visit family in Japan regularly, dined at Sukiyabashi Jiro in Toyko, and have spent plenty of days chasing great sushi from Tsukiji's back alleys to Michelin-starred spots around the world... I also don't have time to be writing reviews these days. I hope that sets the stage for the weight of the words I am about to say to you So yeah.. sincerely was not expecting much walking into Shiso Sushi. In fact, from the outside, this place honestly looks kinda closed down? Scratched, tinted windows, maybe some graffiti, barely any sign of life except for a faint "OPEN" sign doing its best. I swear I *almost* turned around and went home. Inside doesn't change that first impression tbh. No presentation to the menu design, dated decor, very old school neighborhood sushi joint energy. Then the food hits The fish quality is legit. Clean, fresh, and clearly coming from a strong supplier. The preparation is thoughtful and balanced. This is the kind of place where the food completely outperforms the room. (Only real knock: the rice. It's a bit dense / tightly packed. Missing that airy, delicate texture you'd expect from top tier sushi in Japan) Service was attentive and warm throughout. Honestly, this place is a hidden gem trapped in the wrong wrapper. With a proper redesign makeover... branding, exterior, interior, menu... it could easily punch way above its weight. Until then, just trust the fish 彡 read more

This place is located at the corner of the intersection. It has a small parking lot so be advised. Otherwise service was quick and plenty of open tables once you go inside. I ordered the Shiso Tempura Roll, which I was expecting a normal roll. Instead the presentation of the plate was spreading out each slide of the roll. For $14 it's not too bad, most specialty rolls would cost significantly more at other sushi places so cost wise this was a pretty good value. read more

Red Dragon Roll + Lemon Roll both top notch. Side of Edemame and a couple beers to complement the rolls. Friendly staff. Great place for a "sushi nite" busy but not packed mid week shows it's worth it. Recommended! read more

Enjoyed the sushi- Salmon and spicy tuna and edamame- yum. For the husband that is so not keen on sushi he had Shiso Crunchy Roll. This might be the first time he truly enjoyed eating at a Sushi restaurant. read more

Came from Bay Area and craved some sushi and came here. We got seated immediately and got served quickly too. I ordered the chicken katsu. The chicken katsu was perfectly cooked and crispy. The salad was good too with their dressing. read more

Great atmosphere! Awesome edamame. Can't wait to come back and try the albacore. Kind service.

Don't let the outside deceive you! This sushi restaurant had amazing fresh fish and the cutest fish tank! I came here on a Sunday at 4pm and there were a few tables taken. It's small inside and fills up fast (by 5pm all tables were nearly taken). The waitress was very nice and prompt and came over quickly to take our order. The menu was small but it made it easy to order. All the fish was fresh and tasted amazing. The miso ginger dressing on the salad was one of the best I have had and the soup came out hot! The edamame and cucumber salad wasn't amazing but that was ok. It is small inside with limited tables but a pretty big bar. The parking lot is small but I was able to find a spot. If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely be back! read more

Tucked away in a NoHo strip plaza, Shiso Sushi is a hidden gem that is a regular in my rotation. I've been in person, for takeout, and delivery, and DoorDash needs to stop being a narc to tell me how many times I've ordered from here! I especially love the salmon dishes I've had (lemon roll and salmon belly nigiri), and there are gluten free options (such as removing the ponzu from the lemon roll). read more

Saturday night sushi dinner is what family wanted. We went to Chiba and they had a 90 minute wait so we came here instead. Our first time here. Great customer service from the moment we walked in. The food was fresh and delicious. The lemon roll was amazing. The red dragon roll was another good one and the clay roll was my son's favorite. Overall we had a great experience and we are happy we came to try them out. We will be back read more

Started 2025 with a great Japanese lunch! I had the Gindara combo and Negima (chicken yakitori). I personally think the Gindara combo is the best selection they have. My wife got agedashi tofu and a tempura combo. We each had a scallop roll as well. Left satisfied and full. The staff are all really nice and we spent time admiring their classical murals on the walls. This is our favorite Japanese go-to restaurant in the valley. read more

Stopped by for dinner. Service was quick! It looked dark from the outside but where were many tables and booth seating plus at the sushi counter. The Dodgers were playing so almost every table was occupied. We saw the menu online but they had some specials new items not on the menu as well. We got pork chasu ramen, an assortment of sushi nigiri, a cut roll, some hot appetizers and a sushi bowl. The sushi bowl was fresh and rice was perfect! The eel was little overcooked though but still tasty. The ramen had juicy pork and creamy broth but the egg was a little hard boiled instead of soft boiled. All still good. There's parking in the strip mall lot. The area can be a little iffy so just be aware of surroundings. read more

food has been consistently amazing for years, prices are reasonable, staff are always friendly and welcoming. Never had a bad experience here. came at 8:40 (they close at 9:30 i know it seems douchy,) and they were so welcoming and served us no hesitation or attitude. Ambiance is really warm and welcomeing read more

Azucena was excellent! The food was delicious. This is our new favorite place. We will be back soon thank you so much!

Definitely a quaint place. Not too busy on a Tuesday evening, which is nice. Aldo was a great server, tentative and friendly. My husband had the salmon collar entree, he really enjoyed it. I tried quite few handrolls including: spicy salmon hr, spicy scallop hr, negitoro hr, and the salmon skin hr. All of them were great. Not your typical spicy mayo, more like a spicy chili oil? Terrific, definitely will return. read more

Fantastic sushi in Granada Hills very good service. Amazing rolls. Worth the wait if there is one

Outside is not that appealing but the inside is aesthetic and clean. Service was nice. The food was so good! Especially the fish belly items! My favorite was the toro and the yellowtail belly!! It absolutely melts in your mouth and is so fresh! The roll I got was okay but I think I'd try a different one next time. I personally like the small shishito peppers but these big ones were pretty yummy too I think I'd ask for them more crispy next time! Overall great experience and yummy fish belly read more

Faves are the Lemon Roll and Spicy Scallop hand roll. This place is currently my go to sushi spot near work. I usually order online and pickup or have occasionally dined in solo. The lemon roll is a spicy tuna inside topped with salmon and a sliver of lemon smothered in sauce (albeit a bit too drenched). A good balance of tangy and sweet. The spicy scallop is also delish with a little kick and a generous portion of creamy scallop. I've also tried their spicy tuna on crispy rice which was average. Prices are reasonable and satisfies the craving without breaking the bank. Service is also very attentive, quick, and very polite. Located in a small plaza with limited parking. read more

Shiso Sushi Bar - Shiso House roll (avocado on the side for allergies) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Here is an honest review...Food is good, I really wanted this to be a new favorite spot. Service was good the first 15 minutes. A "regular" family showed up and was seated right next to us and we were pretty much ignored the rest of the time. They forgot one of our rolls and then when the check came I questioned it on the bill, she took back the bill to "double check" and then when she came back our bill was MORE! If anything when forgetting our order it should have been less. The ambiance is your traditional sushi place. It definitely looks better inside then from the outside. Went here because of the high yelp reviews but unfortunately it was not all that great. read more

First time here. Ginger tasted like cleaner. Signature roll is awesome but a bit steep for what it is. Servers and staff are very professional and are friendly. I feel they could come to the table more often to see how I'm doing. TIP: If you come here there is limited parking so the night time is better when more businesses are closed. Order house special roll. Tempura is also good but a bit high for what yoi get. read more

Decent sushi for the price. Ordered take-out as I was going to be in the neighborhood before heading home. Parking a bit small but was able to find a spot on a 2nd drive through the lot. Staff was friendly. Knocking off a star for their Spider Roll. All the times I've had it over the years at different sushi restaurants I've never seen it wrapped in seaweed which really distracted from how it should taste. Also they gave us a tiny amount of wasabi for all the sushi we ordered but gave us way too much ginger. May order from them again but certainly not the Spider Roll. read more

I'm an avid Yelp user in finding food but don't rarely leave reviews until today! This place is not good at all. Showed up one hour before closing and either they showed no effort or this is just what cooking looks like for them. Garlic edamame and their shiso crunchy roll tasted fairly well.Calamari was SO BAD, never had anything more stale in my life. Was so hard to chew. And then their scallop roll was also so bad , not fresh at all and wasn't even warmed up. It's like they barely even tried to make these items . So disappointed since these reviews seemed good. read more

Nice small sushi restaurant with easy parking in front. Waitresses are friendly and efficient. The food was appetizing and fairly price. We ordered the Shiso tempura, the red dragon, and crunch rolls. They were all freshly made and delicious. Top it off with some hot mustard and eel sauce and a little ginger and you have it made. Their udon noodle soup was also very tasty. Nice neighborhood restaurant. read more
