We had a wonderful experience at Sushi Dan! The staff was very friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. The sushi and rolls were some of the most delicious we've had in Los Angeles--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was excellent. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great sushi! read more

Usually, I get this place all the time and today when I got it, the edamame wasn't fully cooked all the way through and the rolls weren't that great. I'm very sad and disappointed because this is my go to spots since I live so close. read more

Not a great experience! Quality and service have changed quite a bit. We were seated pretty quickly but the waiter must've been having an off day. You could tell he was not in the mood and was pretty short with customers including us. Food quality is not what it used to be either and we've been customers since 2003. Less garnishing on rolls, spicy time crispy rice presentation was messy, change in sauces that don't make sense like yellow mustard in the 911 roll. My albacore roll was falling apart and didn't seem that fresh. Owner was nice and spoke to us but not sure we will go back for a while. read more

My TWICE a week lunch special spot! Lovely staff who appreciate my repeat business and love for their restaurant! I usually order the 3 item bento box (chicken teriyaki, mixed tempura and spicy scallop hand roll). If you aren't a fan of rice, you can ask for DOUBLE salad and the dressing is divine! Usually runs around $23 for 3 items and $20 for 2! read more

Cute little sushi joint in the little strip mall off Ventura Boulevard. I was meeting some friends at residuals Tavern after and this was a great pitstop to get some fresh sushi. Cute neon lights and decor. Service was excellent. Very friendly and speedy. I had a seaweed salad and a nice hot sake. Then I got the spicy tuna cut roll with easy rice and it was perfect. Very fresh tasting sushi. I forgot to get pictures before I gobbled down half of it. Lol. Happy hour Monday through Friday from 4 to 7. A lot of items on that happy hour menu with really good prices. Will be back! read more

Sushi Dan is a pretty steady sushi restaurant. I used to hit here for lunch when I worked nearby, and visited again after a long absence. It's a varied menu (a lot of their own creations) & they also have some of the rolls as "half size" (and half price) which is a cool way to sample things you've never had before. It's just a little...no-frills isn't exactly it, and the waiters are polite, but there's not a whole lot to the ambience. (Besides a pretty strong cleaner smell) As my memory served, it wasn't like that in the past. It happens when people leave and new people come in, I guess. Don't take that as a huge negative - you're here for the sushi, and it's good. Of all that I've had, the shrimp tempura and caterpillar rolls are my favorites here. read more

Service was pretty good, and I like their little color-changing tree inside. But the food was pretty meh. The chicken in the teriyaki chicken was ok quality and the teriyaki tasted kinda weird. Very watery and overly sweet. The shrimp tempura in the rolls we got was yummy, but the rolls themselves weren't put together very well. The inside of the rolls were just easily slipping out of the rice/seaweed. Rice was falling apart. Fish quality was decent. Overall, just OK, but kinda pricey for what it is. read more

Sushi Dan is one of my go-to places for sushi when I'm near work. Their fish is always fresh and they have excellent lunch specials. I love getting an assortment of fresh nigiri rolls (their salmon is exceptional) and the Bon Bon roll as a treat. The Hot Night 2 is also tasty. My friend ordered the sashimi and tuna tartare. She loved both. The staff is extremely friendly and speedy. They're very knowledgeable about the dishes and helpful with recommendations. It's also really cute inside! It'd be a great place for date night. read more

We are not local and we're inly near studio city for one night to be closer to the airport for our flight home. We found this little local spot and we were not sure what to expect. It was delicious and the fish quality was similar to spots we visited in West Hollywood for half the price. The service was great and the portions were generous - much larger pieces of good quality fish! read more

Friend use to live across the street and we'd come here. Place was consistently not good food wise so i stopped eating when we came . Came 2 months ago for the first time since after i moved to the neighborhood and it was amazing . I believe i came 3 times over 2 weeks . Today i popped in and ordered a bunch of stuff and everything was bland and not tasty at all. Super watery miso and nothing tasted that fresh. I don't think I'll come back . Customer service is always amazing and the vibe is nice but my friends and i were really disappointed in the quality of food. read more

First of all, parking lot is very small. Fortunately, someone was leaving as we pulled in so we were lucky enough to grab that spot. We went during happy hour. Everything we got was pretty good. It came out quickly and it was fresh. The have a couple of TVs so we were able to catch the Dodger game. I didn't catch the server's name but he was very efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. We had a couple of picky eaters at our table and he was nice enough to recommend a few things That turned out to be amazing! The inside is very cute. They have a couple of neon signs for photo ops and some really cute light up cherry blossom trees. I definitely enjoyed the vibe here. I noticed they had some macaroon ice cream sandwiches in the front that I was curious to try. Will definitely come back and try them read more

If you are looking for fresh sushi, then Sushi Dan is a must! The Hubby and I went for dinner, started with the garlic hamachi and wagyu beef sushi. The hamachi was melt in your mouth deliciousness! The wagyu beef sushi was marinated to perfection and very tender! Did not like that they only serve two small pieces for $22, that needs to be fixed. We then had the hot night roll 2, let me tell you, it is hot! Not like fire, like pepper! It was still very good though, especially if you like spicy food! The crispy rice and spicy tuna were amazing! My favorite though, was the Japanese style Ceviche! Lots of flavor, meat, veggies, and excellent sauce! They had several tables, a sushi bar to sit at, and fun neon signs that I wish I would have taken a photo of! Great service, several servers would buss our table as well as ask us if we wanted to order something else! The prices are a bit on the high side, for the amount of food that they serve. read more

The lunch special is SO GOOD. Fried tempura, soup, rolls, salad, rice! Excellent service. Ambiance is rockin!

We have been long term clients of Sushi Dan but today I was very disappointed from the service. I walk in with my 2 small kids and as soon as we were about to sit one staff came and whispered something to our hosts ear. My host then turns and asks if we could sit somewhere else because the family behind us "does not like sitting next to screaming babies." I refused to move and said let them move. Mind you my babies did not make one noise and the restaurant had loud music and everyone talking loud that even if they screamed the room was already super loud. read more

Cheap management takes away food from ur table even if they messed up ur order. They take it away just to throw it away.

Review based on first time eating here. Really good. Had some food off the happy hour and tasted really good. Wife and my buddy had sushi which was also great tasting and visually looked great. Everything we ate was visually appealing and the taste matched. Recommendation was legit. I will be back to try more. read more

I'm currently pregnant and was seriously craving sushi, so we came to Sushi Dan. I ordered the Longasino roll, which I absolutely, absolutely love. It is everything and more. So flavorful, comforting, and satisfying. I already know I'll be craving it again during this pregnancy and even after. They also recommended the baked salmon roll, which I decided to try, and unfortunately that one wasn't for me. The combination of crunchy carrot with creamy cream cheese just didn't work for my taste. I should have asked what was in it before ordering instead of trusting the recommendation. I definitely won't be ordering that roll again. That said, Sushi Dan still delivers when it comes to what they do best. The Longasino alone is reason enough for me to come back again and again. read more

People, I literally made a yelp account to leave a review for this place. This restaurant is what me and my family call a hidden gem inside Studio City: Food is tasty, service is always fantastic, and although the restaurant is small, they have a light up tree in the middle of it which makes it very charming :). (Women's bathroom is also always clean, which is a bonus. ) We've been accommodated well as a big family with multiple kids, and they even gave out a complimentary birthday ice cream (they bring out a gong and sing a little song for you, too!). I love their kid's meals in a little boat... as a mom it saves you a lot of headache. It's a little tough financially in general for us to go out together and eat these days, so when we do, everything really counts. And we're coming back for sure. read more

Came here for happy hour with my partner. We got here at 2:50 told them we were here for happy hour she responded "it's at 3" which we knew but she seemed annoyed and then grabbed the menus and walked away. We ordered the Danny roll, salmon roll, gyoza and crispy shrimp I think tits called. They brought it out fairly quickly but no one ever came over to check on us. We flagged the waiter down to remind him they brought everything but the shrimp. The Danny roll was amazong( did not get pictures). The salmon roll had too much cream cheese otherwise was pretty tasty, I would return read more

My go-to sushi spot in Studio City. The staff are very friendly and eager to help. The food comes pretty quick so you're never sitting and waiting for too long. The sushi tastes fresh and delicious, the specialty rolls are incredible (I eat their party rock roll at least twice a week) and they have good deals for lunch and happy hour. Love it! read more

A very popular Japanese restaurant in Studio City. They offer not only top quality sushi but also delicious hot food from the kitchen. Lots of indoor and outside seating so still no wait even though it's busy. We decided to splurge when we had lunch here so we ordered various items for appetizer and miso soup. Then for main course we had two of Dan's Special namely: Baked Langostino $31.25 California rolls topped with baked langostino mixed with creamy dynamite sauce, mushrooms, masago, scallions, and eel sauce. Forbidden Pleasure $22 Shrimp tempura and spicy tuna inside, topped with salmon, crabmeat, red onions, tempura flakes, eel sauce, and spicy mayo. Both didn't disappoint as they were certainly delicious with wonderful flavors exploding in our mouth. The taste, presentation, and big portions justified the cost. I could have easily given 5 stars but I felt like customer service was a bit lackluster. We didn't see any smiling faces from beginning to end. No one checked on us so we had difficulty asking for water refill. I just hope it'll be a five star experience when I come back. read more

Stopped here for their lunch special. My sister who lives in Studio City said it is her favorite sushi spot in the area. The ambiance of the restaurant was amazing, and whoever was on the AUX needs a raise!! The music was so good lol. I got the bento box lunch special, it came with so much food and the sushi was flavorful and fresh. I love trying new sushi spots and this will definitely be on my list to return when I am back in the LA area. read more

Great lunch special! $25 gets you miso soup, 5 piece Nigiri and a speciality roll. I grabbed the studio city roll and loved it- good contrast of textures and the truffle flavor wasn't overpowering. The nigiri was good, but the quality of some pieces wasn't the best in my opinion. Service was great and the place was clean. read more

I'm terribly disappointed by the service here and the lack of attention to my well communicated allergy. I clearly communicated with my server that I had celiac which was a severe gluten allergy, and that meant I could have no soy sauce or toppings on my food and requested the surface to be wiped down (we were the only people there, no other food was being made), which he said it would be and seemed to be clear on the issue. I even reiterated that it needed to be communicated to the kitchen and sushi chef, and the waiter said he would do so. I ordered the lunch special, and what was the first thing to come out? Nigiri drenched in ponzu. I asked for it to be remade, and got attitude from the sushi chef when I asked to please make sure it wouldn't have any toppings. I won't be back, and would not recommend to anyone who has any dietary restrictions. read more

My husband and I were hungry after a full day spent at Universal Studios and felt like having sushi so this location was the perfect find for us. The rest of our experience here besides location convenience was mediocre at best. PARKING was not great - the lot is small and shared with other businesses and it was full on a Sunday night. The street parking is sparse and many cars had a ticket on them because it's permit only after 6pm. SERVICE was pretty good. We were attended to right away and ordered items came out quickly. FOOD QUALITY was just ok, the roll we got was pretty good but the chirashi "bowl" fell flat. It didn't have much fish on it, didn't come in an actual bowl, and the price was hefty for what you actually get. It didn't come with any miso soup which usually at others places it does and we've had better chirashi bowls elsewhere for a smaller price. COST was steeper compared to other sushi spots and for what you get. I don't think we would return here - better options elsewhere. read more

DO NOT COME HERE THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE. If I could give zero stars, I would. This place is a disaster masquerading as a sushi restaurant. From the moment we walked in, we were bombarded with obnoxiously loud music that made it impossible to have a normal conversation -- it felt more like a cheap nightclub than a dining establishment. The service was some of the worst I've ever encountered. No one greeted us properly, and our server didn't bother confirming a single item we ordered. Unsurprisingly, several dishes showed up that we never asked for -- and guess what? They had the audacity to charge us for them. When we pointed it out, the staff acted confused and dismissive, as if we were the problem. But the cherry on top was the manager -- an arrogant, rude, power-tripping nightmare. Instead of apologizing or even pretending to care, they doubled down and insisted we pay for the food we never ordered, threatening to call security if we didn't comply. Completely unprofessional and borderline hostile. The food? Mediocre at best. Fish didn't taste fresh, rolls fell apart on the plate, and presentation looked like a high schooler made it in a rush. Combine that with a headache from the music and the sheer stress of dealing with this place, and it honestly felt like a prank gone wrong. Never again. There are plenty of sushi spots with actual hospitality and basic competence. Don't waste your money here -- unless you enjoy being yelled at, scammed, and fed soggy, overpriced sushi. read more
