The rolls I ordered were fresh and so delicious! I loved the vibe of the place..was very welcoming and relaxing. Definitely recommend!!

This hidden gem is such a great find! The sushi is incredibly fresh, and Chef Paulino adds his own special touch to the 3-piece sushi selections, making each bite memorable. I also love that they have draft beer, and even better, you can bring your own sake or wine for just a $10 corkage fee. Aldo was attentive throughout our visit and made sure our glasses were never empty. The only downside is that it's easy to miss from the main street if you're not specifically looking for it. They deserve more visibility because the food and service are outstanding. I'll definitely be back to try more of their amazing menu! read more

My wife and I are nor really sushi eaters, but we knew that are granddaughter and husband are so we took them there for their birthday. They ordered, among other things, yellow- tail jalapeno roll, red dragon roll, double albacore roll and my wife, who doesn't eat sushi, got the shisio "house" roll, which had no rice and a mixture of crab, albacore and cucumber for the roll. My kids said they will order to-go. And I had a medium cold house sake was excellent for $13.52 It's a small, simple place, quiet and not fancy, a little gem really. It's on the parking lot by Jinky's on Stansbury and Ventura. Convenient. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed. 14120 Ventura. Steve and Ruth Greenbaum read more

Our first time at Shiso in Sherman Oaks, but we will be back regularly for sure. This is a cozy, neighborhood place with a small, friendly staff led by sushi chef, Paulino, who seems genetically predisposed to make you the best food he can and give you the very best meal possible. A nice guy, skilled with his knife, and completely accommodating in every way. If you're wanting a high-priced, high-concept sushi spot serving upside down crab smoked with logs imported from some underground cavern near Mt. Fuji, this ain't your place. What this IS, is an unpretentious, traditional sushi bar serving the greatest hits you grew up with in generous portions at surprisingly reasonable prices. There are only 3 choices on the Sake menu, but they're selling Kikusui for $5 less than most other places, so you're ahead of the game before you even mix your wasabi into your soy. Garlic Edamame was served piping hot and dressed in a rich coating of garlic and soy. Very tasty and very properly cooked, unlike so many other places, where the edamame is over-steamed into a mushy, unmemorable mess. Instead, these beans had snap and a good bit of their own flavor standing up to the sauce. A very nice surprise from such a ubiquitous starter. Shiso's version of Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna was also very generous: 6 pieces of nicely spiced tuna with avocado and jalapeño, the rice cakes themselves being enjoyably crunchy on the outside, meltingly soft underneath. Saba (Japanese Mackerel) was lightly smoked, with a mild flavor; Ikura was pleasingly briny, while the Octopus was tender and rich. A Salmon Skin hand roll was the perfect finale: crispy and deeply flavored, and again, quite generously portioned. If you haven't been yet, you need to make a plan to go ASAP. The food will satisfy, the staff will charm, and you'll leave with all the very best feels. read more

Shiso has been mine and my husbands go to for years and when we found out about this second location we couldn't wait to go try. Shiso is hands down the best sushi you can possibly get. Not only is the fish fresh and delicious, the service is impeccable. This is the type of restaurant that you remember every-time the sushi crave hits. This place is perfect for a quick bite or even a nice dinner with friends. I am super impressed and so happy that this second location opened! I definitely recommend trying this place. I promise this will become your new favorite restaurant. read more

I've only gotten takeout from this place, but the chirashi dinner is very good, with an ample amount of fresh fish, as is the dynamite and a couple of other items I've tried. I do hope people find this place because it's a nice neighborhood sushi spot with a pleasant interior but whenever I go there to pick up my food no one seems to be there. I think it's just in a weird location. I would probably give 4.5 stars if that was allowed, but it isn't, and that's dumb. read more

Sushi is decent . We come here mainly because it's close to home but today we had a bad experience. Never coming back. There was a miscommunication on the sushi roll ordered , instead of just removing the sushi roll from my bill they charge me for it after I took only one bite and let them know this isn't what I ordered. Waitress didn't come to check on us after we told her about the mistake. Terrible customer service. Parking is terrible at times too. read more

My neighbor and I walked down to try this little spot. It's tiny, only four seats at the sushi bar. We were greeted warmly by the staff which included the owner, formerly of Chibo in Noho. The fish was good, the presentation was good, the service was good. We particularly loved the spicy tuna on rice cake, perfect ratio is fish to cake and topped with both jalapeño and avocado. Great selection of sake. We chose one off their specials board and it was delicious. Prices were fair for what they offer. One note for the owner. A bit more attention to decor would go a long way. Will return. read more

Not good and poor service not recommended , get next one if you want to enjoy. The owner blames negative reviews on parking instead of addressing the actual problems. read more

We're regulars at the Shiso near our house, so we were excited to try this second location and it did not disappoint. Same amazing quality and fresh flavors we love. The vibe is laid-back and welcoming, and you can tell they care about what they serve. If you want something extra good, try the secret menu: the Tyler Roll, Crunchy Shrimp, and Tres Amigos are all must-haves (just ask and they'll let you in on it). Pauly is an awesome guy and a great chef he's killing it at both locations. We'll definitely be back. read more

First time ordering from here and I loved it ! Everything tasted fresh & the rice was nice and warm. Excited to try more items & happy I found a new sushi spot :-) read more

This is a truly hidden gem on Ventura and we had the best sushi since going to Japan. We asked for a recommendation from the chef and he sent 6 pieces with his top picks: Japanese scallops, salmon belly and toro were out of this world. The wait staff was highly attentive and accommodating. It was very reasonably priced as well. We are making this a routine. read more

The best!!!! So glad we found this little gem in the middle of north Hollywood Everything was so fresh and so delicious. Staff super friendly. Recommend sitting a the bar and letting the chefs chose for you! read more

I decided to randomly try this place and it was so yummy. The red snapper and salmon were both buttery and delicious. The baked crab hand roll was TO DIE FOR! One of the best I've had! The service was great as well. read more

Place to just eat some good sushi and relax. Will leave here with a full stomach and a good rest of my night. Ps. The negative review on the restaurant is bs, come here, trust me. - Lopez Pss.

We live this new sushi place, very fresh and tasty fish, yummy veggie tempura, great service and easy parking.

Such a great spot! We had the miso soup, spicy tuna crispy rice, lemon roll, and spicy tuna hand rolls. Everything was amazing! Definitely will be back! read more

Stopped in on a Thursday night. Football game was on, a few people at the bar, chill. The place looks small from the outside.Easy to miss if you're not looking for it. Ordered a couple rolls and a Sapporo. Everything came out quick, looked good, and tasted even better. The waitress checked in just enough to make sure we were set, but mostly let us enjoy it. Prices were reasonable. No rush, no noise, no gimmicks. Really solid sushi in a spot that doesn't seem like it's trying too hard. read more

Paulino is the best in the game, we are loyal customers since he was in the other location. Fish is always fresh and top quality and service is superb. Ambience is great he makes you feel at home. read more

Honestly, I want to gate keep but I also want to share this gem. Because I want it to be here a very long time. We get mostly nigiri and the fish is perfect, along with the subtle sauces. Everything we've had is great. Yellowtail collar, crispy rice, the big fancy rolls. You can't go wrong. It's not cheap but def on par with the rest of the valley sushi spots. Come! read more

Absolutely killer spot. The albacore salad is out of this world--insanely fresh, melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Huge selection of beers, chill vibe, and everything tastes like it was just caught. Go now before the secret's out and you can't get a seat. read more

This place is AMAZING! From the waiters and chefs being great, to the food tasting FRESH! I highly recommend.. CHEERS!

This used to be a good takeout Chinese restaurant. Now it's just overpriced nothing special sushi in a strip mall with no ambiance. Much better at kaju or dojo down the road. Or even all you can eat midori. Dont waste your money here. read more

I've known Polino since his days behind the counter at Chiba, and it's been great to watch him continue his craft at Shiso Sushi. The quality here is exactly what I'd expect from him -- always fresh, clean flavors, and well-balanced cuts. This new second location for Shiso Sushi is a big win for me since it's much more convenient than the North Hollywood spot. Same great sushi, easier to get to. Highly recommend if you're in the area and appreciate well-made sushi from someone who truly knows what they're doing. read more

Excellent. The food is exquisite, the attention is very good but I loved the ramen too much.

I'm very disappointed spent $40 got edamame spicy tuna on crispy rice and a salmon hand roll . Nothing tasted fresh , 3/10

Everything! The Staff was Tremendous and the food was impeccable.. TopCat 5StarNY type

Do not go here. The service, the food, and the ambiance are terrible. The sushi tastes like nothing. You should just eat a piece of cardboard instead. Also, the owner had our cars towed after we purchased food from him in order to receive a comission from the tow truck drivers. This costed us over $1000. Scammers and terrible people. I would give them negative stars if I could read more

Blocks away from home. What a find. Best salmon skin roll ever! New, second location of popular place. Will def be back

Love it here. All the fish is very fresh and the rolls are also delicious. Paulino is a true master of his craft. Excited they opened a new location here in Sherman Oaks. read more

Amazing and super delicious fresh fish. Don't let the strip mall and small place discourage you. Salmon belly, shrimp crunch roll, yellowtail, black snapper all fantastic! read more

Sushi had great quality, sweet shrimp was amazing , highly recommend, lemon roll was my favorite, service was fast , nice neighborhood and easy to park in , space was simple and clean , will be back read more

Great Food with even better service! This is a new location but they were able to recreate the same amazing quality as their first location!

I went to shiso it tasted so not fresh and then I got food poisoning. Absolutely do not go it's gross

Ive been going to their first location for a little over four years now, and this new location is no different ! Friendly and attentive service, as well as fresh and flavorful fish. With a nice warm ambiance it is sure a place to take your friends, family, or coworkers. Definitely recommend the Shiso House to try a variety of the fish they have !! (: read more

everything we ordered was average quality grade sushi ... we ordered Yellowtail Belly and Salmon Belly . I don't believe it was Belly grade sushi . then we tried 3 different premium rolls but all 3 rolls tasted the same ( just a bunch of mush with some greens and lots of mayo ! We couldn't distinguish the fish . ) . The prices are a little on the high side for what they give you . The service was very mechanical and average at best . The ambiance is not very appealing to sit and enjoy your food as it is dark inside. we really wanted to like this place as the valley does not have too many good quality, sushi, restaurants . unfortunately we won't be coming back . By the way , they charge 4% service fee if you pay by credit card , but it doesn't tell you anywhere. on the menu. read more
