Sushi 101

Upon entering, you feel a sense of traveling to Japan. The ambiance feels like you're at a very traditional Japanese restaurant. It is an excellent place to bring a date. The music and lighting set the mood. The host/server greets you upon entry. He was very hospitable and tended to our every need. Brought water before us asking. Cleared menus but kept them close. Explained the happy hour menu. The food was delicious. The sushi was fresh. The rolls were well made. Overall, it was a great dining experience.

I've driven by Sushi 101 hundreds of times and finally ate there recently.We ordered the following:Chicken & Mixed tempura dinner that came with California roll: The teriyaki sauce was perfect for me and the tempura was made well.Sushi a ala carte: Chu toro, hamachi, unagi, saba, Spanish Mackeral and Maitake mushroom; They make the sushi rice just the way I like it which makes the difference between good and bad sushi for me.The decor can probably use an upgrade, but I enjoy eating where it's quiet. The service was great as well.

Love the Sushi ! Like the quieter environment... Comfortable for a quick stop Whilst running around late !Owner is very nice!

On a Friday night when my nanny is away I took my son here for a date. We ordered wagyu sushi that my son wanted seconds... and he saved the one piece of uneaten sesame chicken for lunch. I ordered the soft shell crab appetizer, hamachi sashimi and spicy mayo scallop sushi. Everything is perfect and I am glad to have taken my son to this hidden gem in Studio City. Seriously, Casper is harder to please than your average foodie; he ate everything.

Sushi 101 has been a standard for me since before 1990 and is still my go-to for a fantastic meal and a Saporro. A local favorite for NoHo residents and celebrities alike. I recommend immensely.

The veggie roll is so good! I also get a grilled salmon roll on occasion and the jalapeno slices are a nice touch

You can enjoy real omakase (not set of few pc) here. Chef is very creative and taste of his sushi was amazing. Place may look outdated but I don't care if food tastes great. It's hidden gem, just few blocks away from fancy sushi restaurants on Ventura Blvd.

I just went back to Sushi 101 in 19 years apart! Yes, they have "special of the day" menu still going on !!! Sushi & Sashimi are always Fresh & they offer other Japanese authentic specialties... even Soba or Ramen and They do "Monday Omakase Night" I just made a reservation for coming Monday!(Thursday is the deadline to make your reservation for next Monday) I really recommend this restaurant for all Japanese Food Lovers.

THE best place for sushi in the valley.Toshiis a master sushi chef and his staff is wonderful! The fish is fresh and the daily specials very tasty. Authentic Japanese food and people.

Incredible quality fish. The $5 hand rolls are great but I will never let prices dictate me enjoying great sushi. The staff / chef and food are all great. Easy to get a table and fun every time!
