Uoichiba Handroll Sherman Oaks

The perfect spot for a quick light lunch for two or by yourself. Rolls are made fresh, the nori is crisp, and there’s a variety to choose from. The service is usually great, but about half the time I’m sitting and waiting extensively for staff to ask if I’d like another roll or to check out, I’m not sure why. I can’t really hail them because they’re making rolls and serving others. Other than that, I love this place!

Yes. Just YES. I absolutely love this place. Uoichiba handroll bar is so underrated and under appreciated by the masses! I stopped by Friday around 4 and it was steadily busy. Staff was great, and the bar is a little mish-mosh but they have you seated behind their handroll counter. It's great seeing all the rolls made right in front of you, kinda like KazuNori. I will say I think they do need to improve service in the sense of organization and time. I don't mind patiently waiting for my food, which is what I did, but I felt they were a bit mismanaged and sometimes forgot orders or, in my case, nobody told me they were out of Wagyu until my Wagyu order came up on the POS system. The chef apologized and I just ordered another so no crisis at all! Just my observations. I ordered the Xtra

So glad to finally see amazing seafood option to enjoy right away. Coffee is good, but not enough when is dry aged market is buy the side. And hopping to see more roll and sahimi options with that epic fish.

Cute spot with dry aged hand rolls. Because it's dry aged, the texture of the fish was on the chewy side. But not too much rice. Ate about 5 hand rolls (ordered the Xtra Medium set with a side of Crunchy Crab) The fish ones were good, and my top favorite were the crab ones.

We just walked by one evening, and noticed the aged fish hanging... Such an amazing visual. Had to walk in. This place is great.
