Looking for the best sushi in Shibuya? The short answer: Shibuya's very best sushi counters are not in the crowds around the Scramble Crossing. They're tucked into the quieter streets a ten-minute walk away, one stop up the line in Omotesando, or just south in Ebisu and Hiroo. Near the station itself, Shibuya is the best place in Tokyo for great-value and conveyor-belt sushi.
This guide covers both. The top-rated counters come from our Top 100 Restaurants database, ranked by the ratings of Japanese diners and checked in November 2026 (closed restaurants removed). The casual spots are the long-running favourites within a few minutes of the station.

Great-value and conveyor-belt sushi near Shibuya Station
No reservation, no ¥30,000 bill — these are where Shibuya locals actually eat sushi on a normal day. Prices change often, so treat the figures below as a guide.
Sushi Tokyo Ten (Shibuya Stream)
Shibuya Stream 3F · omakase from ¥5,500 (weekday lunch), ¥9,900–¥13,200 (dinner)
The best-value omakase at the station: a proper counter, a fast-paced parade of Edomae nigiri and small dishes, and a fraction of the price of the counters above. Book on TableCheck. It's cashless, and same-day cancellations are charged in full.
Sushi no Midori (Mark City)
Shibuya Mark City East 4F · sets from around ¥1,500–¥3,000
Famous for generous, good-quality sets at everyday prices — and for its queue. Take a numbered ticket from the machine by the door; numbers move faster than the crowd suggests, because many people give up. English menu, cards accepted.
Uobei (Dogenzaka)
Dogenzaka, about 5 minutes from the Hachiko Exit · budget conveyor sushi
Order on an English touch screen and your plates arrive on a high-speed lane — fun, fast and cheap. Good for a quick lunch or late meal (open until midnight).
Katsu Midori (Seibu Shibuya)
Seibu department store · conveyor sushi, iPad ordering in English
A step up from Uobei in quality, from the same group as Sushi no Midori. The Shibuya branch has long queues at peak times; arriving at opening or mid-afternoon helps.
