I loved everything about my experience, great drinks, amazing service, good atmosphere. I’d give 5 stars across the board but wish they had more vegan and gluten free options. I ended up just having a salad which was good but wasn’t enough for a dinner (adding nuts or mushrooms would have been nice but wasn’t available). Lastly parking with validation for a just shy of 4 hours was $37. That is ridiculous.

Kaiju Sushi in Sherman Oaks stands out as the premier sushi destination in Los Angeles. Having dined at numerous sushi establishments across the city, I can confidently say that Kaiju offers the freshest fish, consistently delivering exceptional quality. The upscale ambiance enhances the dining experience, making each visit memorable. Despite relocating miles away, I find myself returning to Kaiju Sushi, a testament to its unparalleled excellence.
