Tatsu Sushi Japanese Cuisine

The food was absolutely delightful personally loved the baked salmon roll, the music was just loud enough to drown out the other customers but quiet enough to carry on a conversation, definitely recommend.

Tatsu Sushi Japanese Cuisine is a true gem! The food was absolutely exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even better. While the restaurant is on the smaller side and can fill up quickly, that’s just a testament to how great the food is. They seem to handle a lot of takeout orders, but service remains impressively fast for dine-in guests. I will definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this spot to all sushi lovers!

Food was delicious but service was terrible! Small restaurant, only 1 waitress. We had a party of 12 and waited over 1 hour for our food. A couple of us received our order 20 minutes before the rest of our party. Not good! The waitress seemed overwhelmed and became confused when passing out the checks to different customers! Sushi rolls were cut very thin and chirashi sparse.

Best sushi I’ve ever had in my life. I’m currently in shell shock how freaking good that was. I’m from out of town and idk if I can participate in my local sushi scene now!

More people should go to this place. Never seems that busy. It’s as good as sushi is anywhere down in Ventura Boulevard. And it’s way cheaper and the chef is so cool. You kind of feel like you’re just eating in his house.

While the servers were very nice, they were very slow. We spent more time on waiting for the food and the bill than on actual eating.

Wonderful Japanese restaurant that is open late for a quality meal after a night out. Service is friendly, fast, and efficient. Plenty of parking also.

Vegetarian options: Veggie ramen was good

Superior quality of fish and Chef Ike is a gem.

Late post -BFF and I came to satisfy our sushi cravings. It happened to be the first night of a Dodgers game, and the restaurant was bustling with activity. Unfortunately, it would have been helpful if the staff had informed us about the potential delays before we sat down, as it made for a somewhat awkward start.
When our server finally approached us, he asked us to mark our choices on the menu—a process that would have been smoother if he had done so from the beginning. Though the restaurant wasn’t at full capacity, the influx of takeout orders was evident, contributing to the overall chaos.
We didn’t have to wait long for our appetizers, which were served promptly, but the main dishes took about 20-30 minutes to arrive. Thankfully, once our sushi rolls began to come out, the wait was quickly forgotten. Each roll was not only beautifully presented but also tasted delicious—definitely a highlight of our evening!
While the sushi itself was excellent and hit the spot, the overall service left something to be desired. If you’re willing to be patient and enjoy some really good sushi, Tatsu is worth a visit. Just be prepared for some potential delays, especially on busy game nights!
Spicy Yellowtail roll 5/5 - nice portion, fresh
Rainbow roll 4/5 - typical
Lemon Salmon Roll 4/5- Super spicy tuna, needed more lemon but good
Marilyn Mon Roll 5/5- My fav, great flavor!
Edamame 3/5 – typical, meh

Just okay. I visited on a Wednesday, hoping this smaller, more intimate spot would be my go-to sushi place in Burbank, but I was disappointed. I ordered the Sushi Combo, and unfortunately, it didn’t meet my expectations—it wasn’t fresh. Perhaps I caught them on an off day, but I’m still searching for my favorite sushi spot.

This is truly the BEST sushi and sashimi I have had outside of a Michelin starred sushi restaurant in Kyoto. I want to gate-keep this place so much but I also need it to never go out of business. Not a single dish we ordered was a miss. It’s so good… just… so good. Please go here, but not so much that I can’t get a table.

This is what I would call a neighborhood gem. It sits on the outer edge of Burbank, literally, a few feet from the Toluca Lake/North Hollywood border.
I visited here with my daughter on a Tuesday evening. It wasn't very busy and we sat right away. We had the option to sit at the bar but elected a table. Later, patrons showed up that seemed to be regulars, sat at the bar, and were welcomed enthusiastically by the chef and staff.

We had an assortment of items during our first visit, including the yellowtail cilantro jalapeño sashimi, Tatsu Blossom ?, and several pieces of sushi including salmon, yellowtail and halibut. Everything was well presented and so fresh and delicious.

Will be back for more in the months and years to come.

Kid-friendliness: The owner was very accommodating and provided training chopsticks ?.

best sushi i’ve had in a long time, We were lucky that we were the only ones at the bar and they served us exclusively. i strongly recommend the hamachi and lobster roll but everything is exceptional.
