Best Seafood Restaurants in Sherman Oaks

If you have a special occasion to celebrate, Verse should be your choice. We celebrated my b-day, and so did the table next to us and an anniversary two tables away. I gave 5 stars in all areas except the value, and only because the menu is quite pricey. We ordered Melamente, Pancho and MADD city cocktails; excellent creations. Following most of the reviews, we had the milk buns and octopus as appetizers. For dinner entrees, husband ordered the Branzino and I Crab Capanelli. We were not disappointed with the appetizers. Milk buns melt in your mouth; the whipped brown butter has the perfect sweetness. The octopus was cooked perfectly; so tender. I don't know how the chef came up with all the different sauces on the octopus but oh so delicious. So husband was a little disappointed with the Branzino as it was fairly plain when compared to the octopus. The crab capanelli was cooked al dente and the sauce was creamy with the right amount of saltiness. The toasted almonds added the unexpected crunch and well combined with the richness of the sauce. The only neg here is that it was difficult to locate the crab; the chef should really double up on the amount. Service was excellent as expected; ambiance - not too dark with just enough lighting to read the menu; and the live band added extra points to this special occasion. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience.

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.

Phenomenal!! It was beyond expectations!!! I can’t wait to come again!!

Perfect spot for comfort food and a fabulous martini 🍸!!!!

My boyfriend and I had the most amazing first time at Larsen’s, celebrating his birthday. Although the plaza where Larsen’s Encino is located is undergoing remodeling, once you step into the restaurant, you’re completely transformed to another place. Great dim lighting, live piano, and classic steakhouse look. Rita, the hostess, was absolutely amazing. Grant, our server, took it to the next level with his great service. Alongside already amazing food, this wonderful restaurant captivated us into making sure we come back for more.
