Shiso Sushi — Restaurant in Los Angeles

My girl and I had come here years ago. And only by chance, and with suggestion from another sushi location's parking attendant Arsen since that place was super packed, we came here to Shiso Sushi. And I'm sure glad we did. Got lucky with parking (you know NoHo), and we got sat down right away by the nice hostess. But everyone was super nice and so fast. Always making sure everyone was attended too, from the very nice waitress to the nice gentleman busboy/server.

Ok. But the food? To die for, people. Every single order was amazing shrimp and vegetable Tempura to the sushi roll, the Shiso House plate (last item under the rolls). Can't stop thinking about it. It'd been such a long time that we'd visited this gem. But that I won't let that happen again. We'll be visiting much sooner rather than later. Thank you Shiso Sushi staff! Fue nuestro honor...

This new Japanese restaurant earned my 5 with their attention to detail and their focus on authentic Japanese food. I have to say that the Tempura is the best I've had outside little Tokyo. The sushi fish was fresh and tasty; Melted in my mouth.

The one item that could have been a little better was the agedashi tofu. Too much nori strips. That took away from the tofu.

The Gindara combo plate was delicious and an amazing value. This includes a miso cod filet, mixed tempura, a California roll (or spicy tuna roll), potato salad, rice, miso soup and green salad. What a deal at $23.

The highlight was the spicy tuna on crunchy rice. Very tasty and with the cool of the avocado and the crunch if the rice it was a sensational dish.

The service was also great.

Give it a try, you won't be...

Found this great sushi spot while working in the industrial park nearby. The parking lot is small and scary and some characters hanging out front of the liquor store. Once inside, I found the staff to be very friendly; the cute waitress didn’t speak much English but her charm made up for that. The men behind the sushi bar were are clearly well experienced. I enjoyed a bowl of clam miso soup which was perfectly prepared. The clams were tender and super fresh. Next came the sashimi salad. What a surprise to find the greens crispy and dressed just right. The six well per portioned slices of sashimi were so fresh, each piece felt like a zen inspired slice of serenity in my mouth. Perfect texture, perfect flavor. I can’t wait to come back and try...
