Shibuya Sushi Has Plans to Open a 2nd Calabasas Location

Shibuya Sushi Calabasas has had plans to open a 2nd location in Calabasas for well over a year. The new location is on Las Virgenes Road, north of the 101, near the new Honey Cup Coffeehouse and Inner Power Yoga. The signs are up - one says Shibuya To-Go and the other Shibuya Annex - but timing is still TBA. The original Shibuya at 4774 Park Granada in Calabasas (near The Commons) is extremely popular and quite small, so this 2nd location is highly anticipated. www.instagram.com/shibuya_calabasas
