About Shokunin


Shokunin is the Japanese term for master craftsman. At Shokunin, it is also our playful nod to the sushi chefs and neighborhood restaurants that helped shape California's dining culture in the 1990s.


Our 26-seat restaurant is a casual, energetic neighborhood spot where fresh fish, bold flavors, and genuine hospitality come together. We embrace the Shokunin spirit through dedication to our craft, attention to detail, and pride in what we do, all while keeping the experience approachable, lively, and fun.


We believe great hospitality should feel effortless. Whether guests are joining us for a quick bite, an evening with friends, or a memorable sushi experience, our goal is to make every visit welcoming and enjoyable.
