21 Best Japanese Restaurants in Burbank

“I've been eating here for over 30 years and I love it every time. The people, the food and the feeling of home keep me coming back. :)“

“Sushi Dame is one of those little hidden gems you’re so glad you found. It’s a small, hole-in-the-wall spot, but the sushi is incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. Simple, cozy, and full of flavor—definitely a place I’d keep coming back to. 🍣✨“

“For starters the sushi here was absolutely bomb all of the rolls that we ordered were amazing there as genuinely nothing bad let alone mediocre. On top of that the service that we received from our server Kim was elite she always made sure that we were taken care of and was incredibly sweet. If you haven’t tried this place already you are missing out.“

“Delicious! And!! They have A5-Wagyu!! You can definitely taste the difference. Too bad I’m not from around here cause I’d definitely hit this spot up on a regular basis! Staff is friendly, fast, and efficient, and has a great atmosphere for dinner dates!“

“The sushi isn't out of this world but it is a pretty cool sushi place. They have pretty good lunch specials. Pretty inexpensive also. Service has always been good despite the atmosphere being pretty average.

Update May 2026: Prices have gone up considerably in the past year or so.“

“I’ve been coming here for the last couple decades staff are all very friendly, and the food is always very tasty. Their happy hour Monday deals are fantastic.“

“Best sushi ever! I highly recommend them! The food is sooooo good!“

“Good Sushi place to visit again.“

“I just went to eat here for lunch on a Saturday to have sushi and I had the best experience. The food was great and the servers were very nice especially a really nice girl named Julia she made my dining experience so much better she was very nice and very attentive when serving she brought me water napkins and I didn’t even have to ask for anything. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves sushi. The food is outstanding and the service is second to none. It’s my favorite restaurant to eat at.“

“I stopped in on a rainy afternoon and placed my order at 1:15 PM. Unfortunately, I wasn’t informed when my food was ready, and it ended up sitting there without me realizing. It would have been nice if someone had let me know. Clear communication would have made the experience much better.“

“Wanted sushi before heading back home from Universal Studios was tired of 2 days park food. Found this place thru Yelp and it didn’t disappoint. We loved the fresh Uni, Chu Toro, & Monk Fish Liver nigiris. Everything was good! A very expensive lunch but was worth it ❤️👍🏼. Very attentive staff too.“

“This beautiful authentic local sushi spot is my new favorite. Came here with my father and family for father's day. The atmosphere is great, the food is THE BEST, and probably the best service I've experienced. You can tell they are passionate in what they day, and really care about making great food, satisfying the guests. I love this place !“

“Todo delicioso y exelente atencion“

“My wife and I came for the happy hour and really enjoyed it. And using their happy hour, we wonder why people go to buffet restaurants. I am a big eater - and I was well fed with a bill - after taxes and before tipp of $54 for the two of us. Including two beers. Of course, it is not the Nobu - but I bet you agree that is not what one would expect from this place. The service was good - and the ambiance a tad worn. I guess I'd rather dine at the Pasadena location - just because the ambiance is more appealing. Other than that: if you have cravings for sushi and money is an issue, the happy hour (even on weekends!) is a fantastic deal.“

“The price in the post was not updated. BBQ beef is not $10 but it’s $15 which still a good price. They have a tempting ice tea jar, but you need to know it’s unsweetened. They serve it in a hot plate which is good to keep the food hot but make sure you’re not taking too long to eat it cause the beef will get dry. It might be good to ask them to serve on a plate if you want to take your time“

“The food was great, service was great . however one of the workers up front was causing a disturbance while I was ordering my food , not professional AT ALL I asked if everything was ok and cashier just apologized. Even thought the cashier apologized I still find it unacceptable that this altercation even happened in the first place. It was really embarrassing to watch and I hope that no ones is fired or blamed but hope that the co workers of the older lady can help try and be more polite.“

“Not Burbank locations fault!!! Definitely a corporate issue so tried not to cause their star rating to suffer. All kinds of money back and free offers on app but kept asking for credit card info over and over. I want to use a digital payment like Apple Pay etc but would not let me. Did to feel more secure when ordering.“

“Though we came near closing, we didn't feel the rush to kick us out of the place. Very good food through the years. Courteous servers. I will definitely come back for more sushi.“

“Visiting Burbank for the first time with my sister, we decided to try Silverlake Ramen, and we’re glad we did!

As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted and given the option of where we’d like to sit. The restaurant has a cute, relaxed atmosphere that made us feel comfortable right away.

We both ordered the ramen combo. I had the Classic Ramen with fried gyoza, and my sister ordered the Classic Ramen with a pork bun. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and really hit the spot. The staff also checked on us throughout our meal, which made the experience even better.

Overall, we really enjoyed both the food and the service. We’d definitely come back the next time we’re in the area!“

“Parking was confusing. The next door business started yelling at me for parking. Claimed disabled parking was theirs not yoshinoya.
Suggestion: to clearly mark who's parking spots are for which business.
As for the restaurant itself was treated with respect and understanding. The food was great along with the service.the only thing that was not was how the next door security guard was threatening and abusive.
Please clearly mark who's parking spot belongs to which business. I had my placard on my car and parked on the side of Yoshinoya and facing the restaurant and was not on the otherside.
Otherwise everything was as advertised. Reasonable, fast, and everyone was kind.“

“Right next door to Geeky Teas if you’re looking for a food fix followed by a night of gaming.

I got the chicken teriyaki and had to try the bulldog. Parking isn’t too bad and if you’re going to Geeky Teas you can park in the back. They have outdoor seating only but some of it is covered for midday rushes.“
