Here at Shokunin, we serve traditional omakase-styled courses. Omakase is a Japanese phrase that means I’ll leave it up to you”. The chef chooses the fresh fish selection daily and garnishes it into a 10 or 13 course meal. Our mission is to deliver a fine dining experience in a casual environment all at an affordable price.

Reviews
I originally ordered take out, but knowing that it was a 50 minutes wait to receive my online order, I kindly asked the staff if it was possible to change it to dine in. They were kind enough to seat me right away even though they were really busy with orders before mine. I didn’t mind the wait since it was just me experiencing a solo sushi experience for the first time.
Being new to the eastern side of California, the uni at this sushi bar was amazing! The uni MELTS in your mouth. (Reminder: my order is originally for take out) I had the sashimi bento and that was amazing! Everything was amazing! They had this wasabi on the side that was mixed with a little minced garlic and that paired with the freshness of the raw tuna sashimi was perfect! I ended up putting the wasabi and minced garlic on almost everything.
Atmosphere
The restaurant was very straightforward. There weren’t any tables, only seats around the chefs. Seating is very limited.
Menus
They have two different menus. One is strictly for takeout and the other is to dine in due to them serving raw and premium fishes.
I sincerely thank the chef and the staff in making my first solo sushi experience amazing.
I placed my order at 8:00 PM for three sushi bombs/inari and didn’t get my food until 8:50 PM. Nearly an hour wait for something that should’ve been quick. I didn’t even complain—I just went up to ask for a water refill since it was really hot inside. That’s when they finally apologized for the delay.
I mentioned that I saw two people who ordered after me get their food before me, and the guy said it was because another customer had a big order. That didn’t really make sense—why would that delay mine if I ordered first? He apologized again and offered an extra sauce for free, which honestly didn’t make up for the wait.
What made it worse was that it wasn’t even busy. Just one person waiting and two people inside. Meanwhile, the cashier and one of the staff were just chatting and laughing while I sat there waiting.
At one point, someone sitting near me actually asked if the food was good and mentioned they noticed how long I had been waiting—especially since my friend, who ordered at the same time, had already gotten their food way earlier.
By the time my food finally came out, I honestly wasn’t even hungry anymore. I still gave it a try, but the presentation looked rushed.
Overall, not worth the wait.

Be a great guest and make sure you arrive for your reservation on time. It enhances the experience for everyone who is seated with you and ensures that everyone is served at the correct interval.

A year later and still love this place. We come back to celebrate special occasions frequently. Much love to the staff and chefs!
