The place is small and the wait can be hour long. Plan accordingly but going early for dinner can reduce the wait time. Parking can be difficult but there is plenty of parking off the road.
Update: wait this time was longer because of weekend – over 2 hours! We just went to The Commons at Calabasas. The food was still super good!
PS: To cut wait time many people plan ahead. Go at 4:00 pm to add reservation at Shibuya, watch a movie and come back!
The service was good but not perfect; while the staff was friendly and attentive, there were some slight delays. Nothing major, but noticeable.
The atmosphere was enjoyable, though it lacked that extra touch to make it a five-star experience. It was lively and well-designed, but perhaps a bit too loud or crowded at times.
Overall, a solid 4-star experience, and I’d definitely return for the amazing food!
It is misleading and disrespectful to run a secondary, secret line for insiders while families and couples follow the rules outside. On a day like Valentine’s Day, choosing favoritism over the integrity of your own system is a terrible look. I feel played and lied to on a special day I planned to share with my girlfriend.
Management would have been better off shutting down for the holiday to serve their friends privately. Ultimately, it’s clear the waitlist is just a tool to fill seats around their VIP parties and maximize profits using the people they make wait for hours. They don’t care about the customer, they only care about their inner circle.
I showed up around 10am Friday to get on the waitlist and I was already number 7 or 8, so yes, show up early! But I also noticed that by 1:30ish, almost if not all of the people who had been waiting, did get seated.
Staff is fantastic all around. Everyone makes you feel welcome. The sushi bar is a bit tight but it’s fine, it makes you feel like you’re eating in Japan.
I started off with the Shibuya roll. One of the best sushi rolls I’ve had in LA. The tempura was so crunchy, the crab was soft, not overly stuffed with rice, and just a perfect roll.
Later I also had the salmon onion roll – another amazing roll that is rather simple but executed perfectly and unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere.
The toro was outstanding, so tender and fresh, while the seared toro just melted in my mouth.
The salmon belly topped with the orange glaze and sesame seeds was mind blowing.
The unagi was perfect. Thick cut, charred to perfection, not overly sauced.
The sweet shrimp had a good bite and fresh, sweet flavor.
And of course, the tuna crispy rice. Wow. Nobody else does it like Shibuya. The crispy rice is almost like an arancini, so crunchy on the outside yet soft and fluffy rice inside. The tuna is cut into good size chunks, and not drenched in mayo taking away the fresh delicious flavor of the tuna. Each piece was like eating 3 tuna crispy rice at any other sushi spot.
Shibuya is an absolute YES in my book, and it should be for you too.
The restaurant is significantly overpriced for the overall experience. The space is extremely small, with very tight seating; tables intended for two are frequently converted into four, which compromises comfort.
During our last visit, we were seated in an area with constant foot traffic directly behind me. I was repeatedly bumped by passing guests, my chair was pushed, and a server pulled my hair while clearing plates. The experience felt similar to dining at a crowded tachigui sushi bar in Japan—without the efficiency or value that typically justifies such a setup.
The sushi is good, but not exceptional, and certainly not Michelin-level as some reviews suggest.
Service favored local regulars and felt dismissive toward visitors. Despite an expected 20% tip, basic service was lacking (napkins, ginger requests, follow-up at the table).
Overall, an uncomfortable and disappointing experience. Given the price, space, and service, I would not return nor recommend this restaurant.
