SHU - Sushi House Unico

Nestled in the canyons of Bel Air, SHU is a dining experience like no other - a fusion of Japanese, Italian and Latin flavors and influences. The menu features traditional dishes as well as signature offerings, inspired by Giacomino Drago’s love of blending Japanese, Italian and Latin cuisines. SHU’s environment is well-suited to singles, couples and families. The bar seats up to ten people and there is a special booth that seats six people. Private dinning room is available to accommodate up to 12 guests. Signature dishes included halibut carpaccio with sun-dried tomato, Kobe Beef sashimi and albacore sashimi with shaved truffles.

"It's ok. Food ok. Very loud. But it's convenient when you have to meet someone from the valley and you live on the westside. That's why I always go. There were celeb sitings, though. Always."

"Sushi was good but not outstanding. Normal salmon was mediocre. Salmon belly was quite good. But can get better sushi in student hangout sushi places in Westwood."

"The best sushi in the area bar none, with great service to match. Each sushi chef could have their own restaurants. The location is always filled with VIPs and celebrities but every guest is treated the same."
