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

Very delicious and fresh food, especially oysters, good service but felt little bit pricy.

Sushi Dan is amazing! Parking can be tough but the food is worth it! The service is fast and reliable. Cute clean restaurant that will have you coming back! read more

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

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

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

Sushi Dan - Rainbow Sashimi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Studio City, California

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

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

Used to go here for years when I worked in the area. And after stopping by today, it is still as good as I remember! Can't wait to come back. No food picture because I devoured it. Great customer service and love a business which keeps its quality throughout all these years. Great lunch specials. 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

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

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

Sushi Dan - Bluefin Tuna Sashimi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Studio City, California

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

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

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

I'm obsessed with this place. Been coming for years. The staff has always been incredibly friendly, even through multiple changes in management. The garlic hamachi (pictured), is a standout appetizer for me. Along with their spicy edamame - a dish that varied greatly at different sushi spots, but this one is top notch. So fresh! Also, ask for the "great white roll". You can consider it a secret menu item. It used to be on the menu, but even still, if you're lucky, they may still make it for you sometimes! Worth the ask. read more

Sushi Dan - Garlic Hamachi Sashimi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Studio City, California

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

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

Called ahead and placed an order for pick-up. Strike 1: They want your credit card information over the phone for an order under $50. Strike 2. We had to wait over 20 minutes even though we arrived when they told us to. Strike 3: They charge you a 10% take out fee because "they got recyclable takeout packaging." I'm a regular at this place, it's close to me, but these newer changes will have me looking for another spot. It's insane to charge customers for your packaging choices. read more

A nice casual sushi spot that won't totally break your wallet. I get full here for about $40 (2 rolls). The staff is great and the waiters aren't rushing to get you leave. We finished our food and hung out for a long time after. Overall, great sushi for a reasonable price, and a casual scene where you can go to in sweats or shorts. read more

Some of the freshest rolls in all of LA. I know that's a bold statement to say, but I have been to a lot in this area and only few can even be considered at this level. Been coming here for years and have never once had a bad experience. The price is slightly higher than some of the other ones in the area, but you also get way better tasting rolls. The restaurant is located in a mini shopping center with a good amount of parking as well. read more

Came thru the other night during happy hour for an early birthday dinner celebration after having not been here in years and they have not missed a step. We ordered the garlic edamame, several hand rolls, sake, the studio city roll, the crouching tiger and various other items on the menu and everything was excellent but most importantly the service. I wish I still lived in the area so I could come here more often but I will definitely be making the trip back again soon. Thank you for an excellent evening and your amazing service! read more

I do love me some Sushi Dan! However there seems to be a few consistent things I've noticed. One thing I have noticed for a few visits is that their Salmon is always severely fishy. It is very off putting. I have ordered one spicy salmon cut roll every time I go and then I say to myself, "oh yeah, the salmon is fishy here." Another thing is that the water cups are always dirty. And when you taste the water it always has a flavor of tempura. And every time I go I say to myself, "oh yeah, the water is fried here." On the plus side, the service is quick and the servers are always efficient and kind. I would suggest the Crazy Dani Roll and a bottled beer here. Still definitely worth a try! But sit outside because inside you end up leaving smelling as if you worked the fryer all night. read more

We have been loyal customers for 20 years. Lately they have started to up charge on take out with a package fee and the restaurant has become so noisy that I can't hear my guests talk and have to raise my voice to carry on a conversation. Last time I brought a client they asked to leave because it was so loud. I've tried speaking to the manager to give him cost effective suggestions such as carpet and ceiling treatment to control the sound levels but was told that they can't do that for just one customer. I was pretty insulted but that comment. We found another Sushi place up the street that is MUCH quieter and I don't have to be embarrassed taking my clients to. I find it disrespectful to ignore a loyal clients suggestions and bad business sense to lose not only myself but the base of friends whom I've brought to dine there and who agree with me. Good luck to you from just one ex customer. read more

We have been going to this spot for years because we know everyone and the food is amazing! However, we had a pretty nagative experience today. We ordered oysters as an appetizer and our server, as she set the dish on the table, said she/they spit in all the oysters for more flavor. While we understand she was trying to make a joke, telling someone "we spit in you food for more flavor" before you eat it, is pretty unappetizing. Especially after what we spent there today. Not ok. Sadly, we will not be going back. read more
