Thought I would try this place because it was right down the street... knocked my socks off. Luis was our server and he was amazing- my girlfriend and I had a date night that we will remember forever. definitely coming back soon! 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I was in this restaurant at 7:00 p.m. on February 24 and ordered oysters from them, after which I felt sick in the evening at 12:00, the next day I went to URGENT CARE ONE where they confirmed my oyster poisoning, I called them and told me, they said they would return the money, they didn't return it, I lost a day of work, I felt very bad, they said they would call back when it was decided something in three days, no one called me and didn't decide anything, be careful ordering oysters from them 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

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

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

The food is always very awesome and the service was great. I want to thank one of the servers Luis for giving us great service.

Placed an order through Uber Eats and unfortunately had items missing. This was the SECOND time in less than a month. When I contacted the restaurant, the response was dismissive and they didn't resolve the issue. Mistakes happen, but how they handled the situation matters, and this was disappointing.

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

Shiki is the OG spot for the people in this community. I've been coming here to eat for over 20 years. Unfortunately, as the years went by, the roll sizes gradually got smaller, the real fun energetic vibe died off and the prices have increased. I've always been a fan of their Rolls Rolls cut roll and I ordered it today and it too, got like 25% smaller than 10 years ago. As customary to me, I replaced the California roll filling with spicy tuna filling. On top, you get tuna chunks with diced tomatoes mixed with their delicious thousand island-esque sauce. The roll withstood the time, the slight shrinkage and the price increase to actually still stay a very delicious roll. Each bite was truly yummy, with a lot of flavors hitting your taste buds for a home-run. The service there was okay, but the ambiance though requires improvement. Its 1 pm and the place inside is pretty dark. Also, didn't love the $31 price tag of the roll after spicy tuna upgrade and after tax and tip. Way too much. For that money, I'd consider something like Katsuya sushi for next time. Rolls Roys Roll though solely as a food item--definitely solid and kicks butt! read more
