    $6.50 for 5 pieces of fresh amazing melt-in-your-mouth toro?! Oh wait, you actually gave me 6 pieces?! Holy mother of tuna, I would eat here every damn day if I could!

    A cute little sushi dive with friendly service, like 5 tables, and wifi. Sashimi, rolls, rice bowls, udon... It's all good! The food comes well-prepared, fresh, and in huge portions, especially for the super reasonable prices! $5.99 for 19 pieces of assorted rolls - this makes quite the easy lunch. I'm not kidding, this beats my favorite sushi dive in LA, and now I'm just sad I can't come here every day.

    The spicy combo is too salty and the stuffing does not taste good. The spicy mayo totally fails, which I am very disappointed about.

    Could have given 2 stars, but they kept me waiting for 25 mins and the waitress was not so nice so...

    Absolutely filthy dirty. Everything is covered in a layer if grease. Fruit fly traps at every table. Every person left half the food on the plates.
    Literally calling the health board on them.

    Pretty below average sushi and service. Had my order taken, food dropped off, and no one came around again until I had to go up to the front to ask for my bill and a togo box. Went to pay my bill, and for whatever reason an autogratuity of %15 had been added without telling me.

    New Chinese owners???

    Clue #1:  Plastic poinsettias on the counter.  It's May!  

    Clue #2.  The fruit on my combo box was a piece of banana!   The avocado in the rolls were brown and oxidized, the chicken was overcooked, and the tempura was so so.

    Clue #3:  The half eaten plates of the other customers sitting outside.

    I miss the original Shima Sushi :(.

    I've been coming here for 20 years but I'm pretty sure this is the last (until a change in ownership again).  I think I'll try Akira across Denman.  Hope they didn't change owners.
