If you like big portions fast service and a lot of rolls, this is your spot. I prefer nigiri or sashimi sushi more than rolls so it might be not my favorite sushi restaurant. It's a happening spot in the valley though. They always seem to be busy. Lots of workers as well. read more

Bad ambiance, and terrible sushi for the price. Nothing tasted fresh, even the higher ticketed items

Sushi Dan is good and a spot that delivers your average sushi. We went around sushi hopping today and started here with edamame and the Shrimp Crunch Roll. The edamame wasn't fresh and the roll was... average. No major complaints but nothing to rave about either. You should feel confident going here. You'll receive edible food but I wouldn't expect anything that'll blow your mind. We will stop by if someone invited us but wouldn't go here by our own choice. Great service and friendly staff. Decent parking lot. read more

So unhappy with the service and treating today , been coming with my service dog for over a year. And today they denied the service like it is the first time been there. Unfortunately won't come back again. Service and food are not the greatest anymore read more

We had a nice date night here. Food was quick, fresh and delicious. The inside is also very cute. Would recommend

Okay sushi. Overpriced food. Good variety of food, but I wish it had more options for the price of the food served here.

Great food. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice menu My spicy albacore hand roll was the best I've ever had in my life it was absolutely incredible. The crazy Dan was great but it was super heavy so I would recommend sharing for sure. The shrimp tempura roll was fantastic. We came not even knowing it was happy hour so that was a plus!! I'll come back because this place was very very good read more

Sushi Dan - Baked Salmon Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Studio City, California

For our party of 6+ they charged 20% gratuity automatically but on the tax as well, which makes it like a 22% gratuity. I"ve never seen a place charge gratuity automatically on tax. When I complained they tried to justify it before finally removing the gratuity and letting me fill it in. Not cool to sully my namesake sushi place like that. read more

Rufino is the BEST. Kindest, sweetest, person ever. I will 100% be back. As long as I'm in his section! Everyone else is very kind too. Can't wait to come back. Food was great read more

Sushi all day. Calamari : Was nice & crispy. I loved how they also added some jalapeño slices. And the sauce to accompany it was bomb.com 5/5 Garlic hamachi: Yellowtail , ponzu , jalapeño, and garlic to top it off. Soo good & the hint of garlic made it 10 times better. 5/5 Sashimi queen : Definitely worth the $30.00 of sashimi slices if you want to try an assortment of fish. The best ones were the salmon belly , yellowtail belly , & albacore. The uni was also delicious with the dipping sauce on the side. 5/5 Lightly grilled salmon belly:Was good but it was missing ponzu at the top & could've used a little peppers. 4/5 Hidden Dragon roll: Deciding which rolls to choose was too overwhelming. There's a large selection. But somehow me & the bf ended up choosing the same one . Telepathic or what !? This roll was amazing! Had shrimp tempura with avocado, topped with salmon, dynamite sauce, hot sauce, and eel sauce. Torched for a smoky flavor. Perfect combinAtion 5/5 Service was ok. She kept coming when we weren't ready & when we finally needed service she was nowhere to be found. Definitely not on the same wavelength 3/5 But overall this place had great quality of food & I was impressed with all the dishes we ordered. Sushi cravings satisfied . read more

Stopped here after a day at Universal Studios and it did not disappoint! They have both indoor and outdoor seating and it's a cute spot for happy hour. Ordered several rolls (spicy tuna, Crazy Danny, Hot Night, and Salmon Tempura) and gyoza. Great price points and tasty sushi. Definitely recommend it! read more

Sushi Dan - Hot Night Roll (R) and Salmon Tempura Roll (L) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Studio City, California

This is the third time at same location. It was the worst experience I ever had . Tuna was falling apart, Salmon had skin on it. The spicy salmon hand roll was swimming in spicy sauce, so you didn't feel any taste of salmon, besides salmon peaces had skin on them, it made impossible to chew . We spend over $300 and the only thing we enjoyed is desert. Horrible, rip off, shame on you. I should give them a 0 points, for yesterday's food . read more

Delicious sushi! A bit expensive but worth the dine in experience. Service is great. The meals are delicious

The sushi is good here but the ambient noise is far too loud. I have eaten here many times but its distracting especially in the evening. Sushi Dan, fix the noise please. I cant bring guests or clients to your restaurant. read more

Update: Ended up getting food poisoning. Save yourself. Original: Pretty sad sushi spot. we came for happy hour. We got the Black Jack, Baked Salmon, Crazy Danny, Studio City, and Crunch Scallop Roll. Food: 2/5 Get the baked salmon, it's pretty good and a good mix of flavors. The gobo inside gives it a crunch! The Crazy Danny is great, for sure a must get. The Black Jack is not worth it, really interesting, and it's a really cool sushi "roll." Great presentation, but really lacked flavor. It's 20 bucks and not worth the price at all. Don't even bother with the Crunch Scallop and Studio City. Not worth your time. The Studio City comes with semi-grilled onions, super oily, and doesn't taste anything like truffle. It's very disappointing. The crunch scallop really dropped the ball, it has so much potential, but it tastes really sad. And it was poorly wrapped, even when they placed it on the plate, it was falling apart. The service was a 2/5, pretty average. They did forget to charge us happy hour prices, make sure you check for that. The worker didn't know it was happy hour...... The place wasn't that clean either. The workers weren't all wearing masks over their nose, kind of uncomfortable, were in a pandemic guys..... The longer I spent in there, the lower the rating went...... read more

I absolutely love this place. The quality of food and service is outstanding and as good as any place over the hill, if not better. I love having lunch here and sitting at a window booth. It's a nice place and wonderful food. The Best Langoustine sushi in the Studio City!!! read more

I came in looking for a quick bite not expecting much. I ordered the salmon, yellow tail, red snapper, black snapper, lightly seared jumbo scallops, octopus, and uni sushi to finish the meal. To my delight I was very impressed by the quality of sushi I received and I was very pleased. My favorite was the uni of course, but that's not to take away from any of the other pieces of sushi. The black snapper bit me back with a smooth silky taste and the salmon almost felt like belly. I would definitely recommend this sushi restaurant for anyone in the area looking for nice meal and a relaxing time. My score is 8/10! Would come back. Sorry I don't have pics but it all disappeared as soon as it hit the table ‍ read more

The food 11/10 There is such a variety of food and drinks that taste so good. The service is perfect such nice people, including a super nice view when outside the restaurant of Universal. Theres always music and a nice vibe when in the restaurant. My favorite dish was the crazy Danny in the fried shell with the perfect spice. Overall the restaurant is so good and an amazing place to eat. read more

My favorite sushi in all of LA. Been coming here for 20 years. New chef who is way too old to be employed. Very rude. After waiting for 20 minutes he asked for my order. Mid sentence he looked away and started talking to a waiter. Then he proceeded to make a few orders and NEVER asked me again. Another waitress asked me if something was wrong I said yes and I would like to pay for my drink. She actually charged me and I walked out. So tired of bad service in LA. I feel like it's the new norm. read more

This place is a must try. There is definitely something on the menu for everyone. We ordered several different sushi rolls and ALL were amazing! The entire staff is friendly and the service is exceptional. Jake was our server and was very attentive. Recommend this place to all those sushi lovers out there. read more

Everyone is so nice here. Probably cause they are making good money. $20 a roll is very steep for a place with Subway vibes. Seriously, go down the road pay the same but get way cleaner fish, better environment, info on where they actually catch the fish and not feeling like you walked out of the Denny's of sushi. I've tried it 3 times now and at this point it's my fault for giving it too many tries. More importantly This place consistently dumps liquid waste down their back alley. . Hard pass. read more

Tried the Dan's Crab Cake Roll and it was the best one I've tried from here. The crab tasted fresh and was cooked just right. It's a fully baked roll and creamy so it's a little heavier but there are only six pieces so its a good meal size. The spicy salmon roll is good too! They are a little stingy with the ginger (and no ginger is packaged with baked rolls) so if you like a lot of ginger, like me, you have to ask for extra! Super weird side note that I'm not factoring into my review but maybe worth mentioning in case anyone else has a weird delivery experience: The delivery person called me at 6:30pm to see if I could meet him out at the street because he didn't find parking (but he ended up leaving it at the door before I went out). I then got TWO calls late that night at 12:45am that I ignored (and blocked). Not sure what the deal was there but I will likely just pick up next time to avoid interacting with him at all! read more

Originally my bf and I had another place in mind for dinner this past Saturday night but instead we decided to check this place out. Omg so glad we did. The food and service were fast and good. The ambience was great too cozy but lively at the same time. We started off with pork gyoza (not pictured) then we god the shrimp cucumber tempura roll and the baked scallop roll (not pictured). I've never had scallop sushi before but it was our favorite. It's a baked California roll with eel sauce, mushroom, mayo siracha sauce and baby tiny scallops. It's definitely shareable plate, for desert we got the tempura ice cream which was ok. Definitely going to comeback to try other dishes. read more

I am OBSESSED with this restaurant. The sushi rolls are TOP NOTCH but the SERVICE BABYYYY. Even when I order from UberEats they are OUTSTANDING in accommodating all of my requests. I am vegan so I always need to customize my meals and Sushi Dan nailed THE BEST vegan roll ever. But hold on, let me brag in order. I've been here like 3-4 times. Most times I've had a waiter named Jake. He's the best. He has gone above and beyond in helping me eat the right vegan things and hes so lovely. Best customer service. I accidentally ordered an eggroll without realizing it wasn't vegan and he caught it and let me know so I wouldn't eat something nonvegan. I wanted to created my own vegan roll and I came up with it with Jake and its THE BEST FREAKING ROLL IVE EVER HAD. But to make it more amazing, the chef, I believe his name is John, not only NAILED my vision but he made the plate so cuteeeeeee i could scream. So im calling it the "Roxy Roll" hahaha. Everyone here just goes above and beyond consistently. Love eating at Sushi Dan. Always good vibes from everyone and the sushi rolls come out so quick too. OBSESSEDDD THANK YOUUU read more

Sushi Dan - Avocado roll deep fried with eel sauce and crispy onions: the ROXY (vegan) ROLL everybody lol - Sushi Bars Near Me - Studio City, California

I dined during a weekday happy hour at Sushi Dan. Rufino was my waiter. He was very attentive and friendly. I ordered the spicy tuna, yellowtail, salmon sashimi, and spicy edamame. Everything was extremely fresh and came out right away! I had a lovely experience and cannot wait to return. My only con is the parking... The lot is really small and there is rarely a spot. There is street parking before 6:00 in the neighborhood. So if you are coming to happy hour from 4-6 you won't have any problem. read more

When you're looking for an affordable sushi place that has decent sushi, Sushi Dan is your spot. The quality is definitely not as good as Sugarfish or Katsuya but definitely better than all-you-can-eat sushi and better than those places where rolls are like $3. The sushi you get at Sushi Dan is reasonable for what you pay for. They have lots of table seating inside, you may have to wait a little bit depending on the time you go. The ambiance is casual. Good for a casual dinner with a friend or your partner, but not the place you want to take someone when you want to impress them. The menus are booklets and they come with lots of photos which is always helpful. They have lots of different rolls to choose from. My friend and I ordered three rolls and split them. We got the Forbidden Pleasure, the Joker Roll, and the Hot Night Roll. We also got a bottle of sake. I wouldn't order the Joker Roll again, it was my least favorite and had too much of a fishy taste for me. The quality didn't taste great either. The Forbidden Pleasure Roll was surprisingly good, good for onion lovers since it's loaded with sautéed onion. The Hot Night Roll was probably my favorite of the trio. It's fun to try different rolls so I recommend this restaurant for that, especially since it won't cost you an arm and a leg. read more

Very disappointed with the recent changes that have been made. We have been coming here for many years and they recently updated pricing while still advertising old prices and refused to honor what's on their website. They also charged us $2 for a piece of lemon & $2 for a side of jalapeño and let's not forget that when you pick up they charge you a "handling fee" the most ridiculous fee I've ever heard of. What used to be a great restaurant has definitely changed. No more sushi Dan for us. read more

I got the 8 piece deluxe with a bake crab hand roll. Fake wasabi, ginger was warm, The fish on the sushi were warm and I didn't know it was fake crab used in the hand roll so disappointing. All for close to 50 bucks plus tip, what a waste. Should of read though the reviews before coming here, looks like a lot of tourists are giving this place 4 and above stars, if youre a LA native avoid this place. read more

TLDR: I've eaten both dine-in (outdoor seating) & take out at Sushi Dan's. I'm definitely a fan of their rolls! I recommend the Baked Salmon, as well as the Forbidden Pleasure and the Crazy Roll. While I've had a great experience with their rolls, their new outdoor dining could use some slight improvement. Pros: - Delicious rolls for a reasonable price. I've ordered at least 5-6 different kinds and have yet to be disappointed. - The staff is very friendly and seem to be very attentive to being careful with COVID. They wear face masks and usually bring you some hand sanitizer when you dine outside. Cons: - The outdoor seating is a little limited so the wait can be longer depending on when you make a reservation. - One of the tables further back is really close to an alleyway which holds the dumpster. During my dine-in experience, the smell was pretty apparent. It wasn't too overpowering, but it was definitely there. We asked to move to a different table, but because it was so busy, the wait would have taken longer so we just sat and finished our food. Would definitely return again for the rolls, but would probably hesitate to dine outside if seating is limited. read more

Pros: fast service, relaxed environment, nice staff & good rolls and appetizers Cons: ordered a crouching tiger roll to go today and when I arrived I was told 28$ and some change which was a shock because I don't know the last time I paid over 20$ for a premium roll anywhere and I each sushi often & to top it off I did not like :/ and it had nothing to do with the price it was more the topping, another thing I did not like was the packing fee they add automatically If I return I'll just eat in and even tho I did not enjoy my roll today I'll still give them the 4 stars because everything else I've had had been good read more

I enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. It's a casual sushi joint with valet parking for $5. Its hard to find parking in that area. Good service, Saul was our waiter. We ordered garlic edamame, white rice, cocktails and wine, shrimp tempura roll, baked green mussels, crispy albacore. The Cocktails aren't too strong but are tasty. I would return to sushi Dan for my fav items, green mussels crispy albacore. read more

Worst to go containers ever. It basically melted in my hands. All I taste in my sushi is paper!! I understand being environmentally conscious but this sushi tasted like straight cardboard.this has been an issue since covid but please please please don't make me peel my fish off paper.it's vile! Sushi shouldn't taste like paper and buckle with the weight they put in the box. I LOVE this place but the Togo containers are the WORST I've ever encountered read more
