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

Sushi Dan - LUNCH 5PCS SUSHI COMBO - Sushi Bars Near Me - Studio City, California

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

We stopped in here for lunch last Saturday - - plenty of tables in the dining room and we were seated immediately. They have a nice sized menu with lots of fun sushi combinations plus plenty of options for your friends who don't like fish. Service was friendly and food came out at a decent pace. read more

We were able to get a reservation on Mother's Day for a big group of 17 with little notice so it's definitely a restaurant that can accommodate a big group. We were immediately seated and promptly given menus with their specials. The main menu was a QR code on the table. Even though our full party wasn't there we were seated which is always a plus with a large party. They have a pretty extensive menu with not just sushi but hot foods from the kitchen. Food came out rather quickly except for one of kid's meals. They did apologize a few times and offered to take half off, but at some point we decided to cancel as the kid was so hungry just ate someone else's leftovers. Most restaurants prioritize kids meals but not the case here or at least not this time. Other than that it was a good dining experience and everything tasted delicious and fresh. read more

Food: 5/5 Such good sushi for the value!! We went during happy hour and we were each able to get our choice of rolls and a small plate of sushi for around $20 each. I chose the scallop baked roll and it was amazing! Full of flavor and tasted so fresh. My friend got the caterpillar roll and also loved hers. The sushi was also great, super fresh. You also get miso soup. We also got the tuna with crispy rice which was one of the best I've had. Perfect amount of crispy rice and tuna on each. Definitely come here if you want some good sushi at a great price! Service: 5/5 Such nice workers. Food came out so fast and service was attentive too. Ambiance: 5/5 Spacious with lots of seating + good music. read more

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

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

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

Been going here for the past 6-7 years, I feel like the quality has dropped 1 point but I still think for the price it's really good. Used to be one of the best spots back in the day. The "Night roll 2" is their wow factor read more

Such a good local spot! I've been here a handful of times now and the service has been great every time. This time we got the forbidden pleasure and hot night (their names are creative too, mostly related to the valley), and they did not disappoint! It's a good place to either meet with some friends or a casual date night. If you want a creative sushi spot that's also a local fav, try this place. read more

SKIP! This was by far the worst sushi restaurant I've been. Service was fine and ambiance was cafeteria feel, but the food was downright bad. Felt ill within 20 minutes of eating and linger bad taste in mouth for hours. read more

I was in Studio City, tons of places to eat. I wanted sushi so Yelp app came up with 2 highly rated places so I flipped a coin. This is located in a small strip mall. It is very clean. May have trouble finding a place to park. This place has Happy Hour on Saturday and we happen to go at the right time. Vegetable tempura, batter very nice. Rainbow roll Beautiful roll with Ahi and I think salmon. A work of art, has a flower. Yellowtail Scallion Roll This was exceptional, did not look like much but so tasty. This is the best bang for the buck. Crunch Roll shrimp tempura, avocado, crab meat topped with tempura flakes and eel sauce. Very good. Fish very fresh, rice texture perfect on all the rolls. Filtered water. Service very good. This place is a find. read more

Nestled in the busy street of Studio City, this place is notable for group dining. It's so popular that a group of deputies from LA County Sheriff was dining during my visit. I love law enforcement officers, but dining in close proximity and ordering a beer made me doubt if it was worth the trouble. That thought of having them pulling me over for a DUI (I swear, officer, it was one drink) would not be an enjoyable evening. HAPPY HOUR MENU: MONK FISH LIVER (ANKIMO): The delicacy came in four slices, and the texture was rich and buttery, similar to foie gras. It is mixed with ponzu sauce, chopped scallions, and masago. BAKED SALMON ROLL(Cream Cheese, Gobo, Avocado inside Masago, Scallions, salmon on top with dynamite sauce and eel sauce) Another item from their happy hour menu. Excellent choice for salmon lovers. Since the roll was drizzled in eel sauce, there is no need to dip it in soy sauce unless you're that person who dips everything and anything. CRAZY DANNY ROLL (Spicy Tuna, Avocado, Whole roll deep fried with eel sauce) - This roll was also on their Happy Hour menu. I was surprised by the massive size. Rather than having it small and long, this roll was large and compact. Super delicious, as this was my favorite dish from their Happy Hour menu. After the Happy Hour ended, we ordered something upscale. The posting was on the wall, and similar to an omakase, the order came with six Chef's Selections, a light appetizer, and Matcha Ice Cream. For the price under $100, this dish was AMAZING. The sushi (Toro, Tuna, Salmon, Red Snapper, Uni, and a mixed roll) was presented in a neat square box of six. Overall, I had a great experience at Sushi Dan and would return for more. 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

Pretty good sushi and decent pricing, we got take out and they made the order really fast. The forbidden pleasure roll was my favorite. Crispy tuna wasn't exactly crispy but maybe that was from being in the box with some other warm rolls. I think the salmon roll had cream cheese in it and I wasn't a fan of that. I would try this place again but would dine in since the rolls didn't travel so well. read more

Food excellent and generous. Wait staff so friendly and professional. Can't wait to return.

Stopped here for dinner before a comedy show in north hollywood. Found this gem on Yelp. Amazing food and great service. Came here on a Wednesday so we were seated right away. The service was great- checked in and made sure our waters were filled. To start, we had miso soups as well as the hamachi garlic sashimi. Delicious - slices of yellowtail topped with spicy yuzu ponzu sauce, garlic paste, jalapeno, and cilantro. We also ordered the crouching tiger roll and the OMG roll. Everything was soo good. Definitely left feeling satisfied and my tummy was happy. read more

Good Food and casual atmosphere, but I was very distressed to find, after the fact, that a 25% tip was added without warning or permission. We were a party of 5; I never saw any disclosure of an automatic gratuity, especially that large. IMO that was very dishonest, so for me, and everyone in my party, this place was a one and done. read more

3 of us went here last night. Sushi was below average and stupid expensive for quality. Also two of us got super nauseous and diarrhea right after eating here. I was on the toilet all night. As for service, our Server never brought waters to table. He Had to be reminded and it took 30 mins and he only brought 2. They served the sushi before the appetizer without ginger or wasabi and had to ask for that. My son ordered Ramen and they never brought utensils....and they weren't even that busy! Never again. Way too many better options then this place! read more

The meal for 5 people cost $244 before tax, plus tax of $23.18 and tip of $53.44 for a total of $330. However, they charge a tip before tax, which is wrong. I asked the waiter why they charge a tip before tax and what % the tip is. She said it was 18% and I told her , now you charged more than 20% and you still said 18%. She said she didn't know why she had to charge tips like this, and the receipt did not show the percentage of tips. I felt that this business was cheating customers. read more

Work has brought me to the Valley from my home in Orange County. Every Tuesday I stay in Studio City and am able to enjoy a spectacular omakase meal at Sushi Dan. I enjoy sushi and have been fortunate to eat at great sushi restaurants. What makes sushi great starts with the freshness and quality of the fish. Second, is the presentation and how much pride a chef takes in presenting you their creation. Sushi Dan has high quality fish and their chef, Jesus, takes great pride in presenting his sushi. Why I take a star away is because I am not a fan of a high end sushi bar that makes rolls. It's nigiri or sashimi only for me. Yet, I totally understand that restaurants need to do and adapt to survive. Take a look at some of the meals I have had at the restaurant. read more

I'm just leaving a random review because I f******* LOVE Sushi Dan. Just drove by it right now, and decided to spread some joy on their name. The vibes, the neon lights, talking to the chefs at the bar -- and the sushi, everything is on point. Always take dates there and friends from out of town. Even solo it's a blast. 50 stars read more

It's been over 4 years since we've been here and this place is STILL amazing. We came on a Friday night during happy hour and we were not disappointed. We got the Bulefin tuna sashimi and it was so good, we ordered it twice. We also go the forbidden passion and all star roll. No regrets. This is the place is our forever go to when we're in this area. Simona was our waitress, and she was lovely and very knowledgeable about the menu. This place is in a little strip mall, so parking isn't the best. But the restaurant is clean with lots of seating without being cramped. Worth it. Great service, excellent food what more could you want read more

This Place Should Be Shut Down Easily one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had -- and I've eaten gas station sushi before. At least that came with a warning label. This place? Just false promises, loud music, and an overwhelming sense of "we don't care." Let's start with the service: nonexistent. No greeting, no smile, no confirmation of our order. They just slapped down random dishes like they were spinning a wheel in the back. Half of what we got wasn't even what we asked for -- and then they charged us for it. When we brought it up, they acted like we were making it up. No apology. No correction. Just blank stares and attitude. The music? Blasting at full volume like we stumbled into a failed DJ audition. I don't mind a vibe, but I came to eat sushi, not scream across the table like I'm at a rave in a strip mall. And the manager -- wow. Rude doesn't even begin to cover it. When we calmly tried to explain the issue, he immediately got defensive, talked over us, and essentially told us we were lucky to be eating there. Unreal. No ownership. No resolution. Just ego and arrogance. The food itself? Not even worth the drama. Sloppy rolls, flavorless rice, and fish that tasted like it had been sitting out since last week. If you're going to treat customers like garbage, at least serve something edible. Save yourself the stress. Go literally anywhere else. This place is a total scam with a side of spoiled tuna. read more
