Sushi Row, Studio City

Updated September 2026 · east to west along Ventura Blvd

Sushi Row is the local name for the stretch of Ventura Boulevard packed with sushi bars. In its widest sense it runs about 18 miles west from Studio City toward Calabasas, but the Studio City end is where it started. Teru Sushi opened in 1979, and through the '80s the neighborhood's studio crowd kept the boulevard's sushi bars full. Here is every spot on the Studio City stretch, from the Cahuenga end heading west. We haven't ranked them yet; that's coming.

3. Daichan Not a sushi bar
