Sushi Shibucho

Went here after hearing so many good things about the place. Sushi is made to order, and they are super fresh and tasty. Pricing is just right (probably below some fancy omakase place, but still more expensive than local cheaper Japanese restaurant). There are not a lot of seats, so making reservations may be helpful for busy weekend evenings, but weekdays aren't bad. The ambiance is not romantic. It is more chatty, open, and casual because when you're sitting at the sushi bar, you're constantly talking to the sushi man who is also getting orders from the people sitting next to you. You end up striking a conversation with the ppl seating next to you. I would definitely go back here.

My favorite omakase place in OC. The chef is talented and really puts his thought and creativity into the craft of sushi. A wonderful experience and I’ll definitely be back again and again!

Would not have expected something this good from the outside but it really is a hidden gem. Authentic sushi with good fresh fish at affordable prices. Very friendly chef and a proper sushi meal.

Wonderful neighborhood omakase sushi spot. The chef is welcoming and the sushi selection is excellent. We are new to the neighborhood and decided to grab some sushi. We asked the chef to prepare whatever he chose to serve. We were not let down by his selections for the evening. Serving after serving the bites were delicious. My favorite was the unagi. If you are in the mood for some good sushi and not in a rush I highly recommend a stop in here.

This the absolute best sushi I have ever had in the whole world. The chef is so kind, humble and talented. The fish is so fresh and melts in your mouth. Omakase style sushi is such a treat! Highest recommendation for Sushi Shibucho!

Love love love this place. I’ve been coming here for over 7 years. I’ve moved away but always make sure to make a reservation when I’m in town. Not a place for rolls but for genuine sushi.

Authentic and incredible. The fish is sublime. The menu is small, but honed. It feels local and wonderful all at once.

Quality of the sushi is one of the best in LA. It's a small family owned restaurant with the chef, who's the owner, and a waitress. This is a traditional style edo-mae sushi from Japan so its the exact opposite of these popular "omakase" sushi. Overall great food and priced right.
