22 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. :)“

“Stopped by this sushi joint, I’d seen it on Google and wanted to try it for a while.

I got seated and had my order taken quickly. My choices were the Dragon Roll and Philly Roll. Both tasted great. They do a great job on the rice and the fish was top notch as well.

They delivered everything I wanted and the service was friendly too.“

“Completely surpassed my expectations because I was thinking just another Japanese BBQ restaurant. But nope, very delicious and so good. We did not order all you can eat, we ordered multiple plates of beef tongue, short ribs, truffle salmon sushi, sea weed salad, cucumbers, fried tofu, veggie plate, and so on. Everything was very delicious.

Also, our server was so nice. She took care of us very well. Overall, I highly recommend this place for good meal and good experience.“

“I got take out but wish I dined in! Walking into the restaurant felt authentic and smelled like your classic old school sushi spot that brings back that nostalgia feeling from back in the day. The sushi was incredibly fresh and melted in my mouth. I got a spicy salmon roll and spicy yellowtail and they actually had a small kick compared to other restaurants. The miso soup also tasted super fresh. Wish I took pictures but will definitely dine here again!“

“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.“

“Please keep supporting this Business. Its very well priced and the fish on the Sushii is very good size compared to Lots other establishments who charge more and give you significantly smaller size. We've been watching past 3 - 4 now that trend, when were out of area or sometimes convenience of time and we tried other places, some we still vist But only get the rolls cause their sushii fish portion is ridiculous.
We've drive 25 mins. and been going here for bout 26 years, seen owner change but Masa (the Chef) still same.
Its your money, if you want great Sushii at good price.“

“The staff are amazing at this restaurant and I hope this compliment get passed all the way up the ladder. Everyone was polite, looked professional, and acted in a way that seemed genuinely friendly and personable.

Not only that but the place is spotless. They keep this place very clean.

The sushi itself is some of the best I've had and I’ve had a lot of sushi. I'll definitely be returning with friends this is a top notch dining experience in every sense and they deserve every 5-star review they’ve got and many more to come.“

“My friends and I visited Copan for a late lunch on a Wednesday, and we had a wonderful experience. The service and atmosphere make this a spot I would happily return to!
​The Highlights (The Great)
​Exceptional Service: The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We had two people checking on us—a dedicated server and another filling water—and they were all fantastic. We were seated right away with no wait.
​Wonderful Ambiance: The restaurant has a beautiful, well-thought-out, Japan-focused decor that creates a great environment for a meal.
​Menu & Clarity: I loved the menu! It was clearly organized with pictures for every item, which made ordering very easy and eliminated any guesswork. They offer a great range of options, including large sushi selection and both spicy and non-spicy ramen options.
​The Food We Loved: We tried three different ramens (one spicy, one non-spicy, and the Vegetable Ramen, which was excellent). The Jalapeño Bomb side was also a great flavor addition. Everything was filling, delicious, and satisfying.
​Areas for Improvement (The Quibbles)
​Seating Arrangement: My biggest critique is that the tables are positioned a bit too close together. We could clearly hear neighboring conversations, and unfortunately, a couple near us even seemed bothered by our chat.
​Dynamite Roll/Side: We were not fans of the Dynamite dish (shrimp, cheese, rice, and onions). It was a strange combination and we ended up not finishing it.
​Limited Drinks/Desserts: They did not offer non-alcoholic beer, and the dessert selection was very limited (only cheesecake available). (This wasn't a big deal for me, but something to note for others.)
​Final Thoughts
​We had a great time, and the quality of the ramen and the wonderful staff made the $80–90 meal well worth it for three people. We plan to return very soon to try their extensive sushi selection!
​Highly recommend for the great service and atmosphere!“

“10 out of 10

Sushi Fuji Ya is such a great spot! The vibe is super cute, especially with the cherry blossom decor, it gives the place a cozy and charming atmosphere.

We tried the iced matcha tea and hot sake, which were both perfect pairings for the meal. The new menu items were a pleasant surprise! The Snowy Fuji roll had a perfect crunchy outside and soft inside, packed with amazing flavor. The Creamy Salmon was also a standout, rich, smooth, and delicious.

What I love most is how they combine creativity with traditional flavors. It feels new but nostalgic at the same time. The fish is incredibly fresh, and everything is made with care.

Also, don’t miss the BBQ ribs, they were tender and flavorful. The miso soup was comforting, and the salad dressing was spot on.

Highly recommend this place, everything we had was top-notch. We’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Came after a movie during a lunch and had three rolls and a miso. Lindsay was very friendly from the start and made sure I was always attended, the food was delicious for a quick bite to eat and will be trying the ramen next time. The cucumber in the sushi was a little to on the thicker side than what I’m used to but all very very fresh sushi and delicious!!“

“My family and I stopped here after a movie and really enjoyed it. It was late on a Monday, so it was empty and got seated immediately. The atmosphere is open, with high ceilings and an outside patio. There isn't loads of seating, but a decent amount. I could imagine there being a wait if it's a busy day.
Service was friendly and checked on us a regular amount. We didn't even feel pushed out, even though we stayed close to closing.
I've never been to another SilverLake Ramen, but I really enjoyed it. I liked how the chicken was in grilled strips, that was probably my favorite part. I got the Classic one, but next time I'd try something spicier. My mom got the veggie one and really enjoyed the variety, and my dad got the chicken broth one which he found tasty but unique, because it's not common for Ramen to be made with a clear chicken broth.
Overall we really enjoyed our meal and would go again to try more items!“

“I’ve only just started coming here but wow what a hidden gem! The food is absolutely fantastic every dish I’ve tried so far has been bursting with flavor and made with real care. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and everyone I’ve spoken to has been genuinely friendly.

A special shoutout to Harry! He goes above and beyond to make sure guests feel at home. His energy, attentiveness, and good vibes really elevate the whole experience. You can tell he truly cares about the people and the food.

I’m seriously excited to work my way through the entire menu. If you haven’t been yet do yourself a favor and check this place out!“

“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.“

“This was a delightful find, a small intimate sushi restaurant with delightful Japanese owners. There aren't too many nice sushi places with a clean, simple aesthetic that are open to 10pm, and the service was top notch. I was at the sushi bar and was able to enjoy very rapid rounds of sushi, and the waitstaff was just as quick to respond to beverages and soups, and checks. I had a wonderful time and appreciate the nuance of a Japanese-owned sushi place vs. other more corporate sushi places. Definitely recommend and coming again!“

“Clean, fresh, delicious sushi at delightfully reasonable prices. And the new owners, a family of three, are super friendly and fun. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“Todo delicioso y exelente atencion“

“I had the teriyaki chicken and tempura lunch special. The food was excellent. I am not usually a fan of white rice, but this rice was good. The chicken was also very tasty. The tempura shrimp was fried perfectly. Wonderful and friendly service. Would definitely go back when in the area again.“

“I got most beautiful poke bowl I've ever seen -- truly a work of art. They also had some really unique bases and toppings I've never seen before too. Another nice thing about this place is that they are right next to a place that serves matcha drinks. A poke bowl + a matcha latte? That's some good stuff.“

“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.“

“The place is real clean. Happy to be in a clean spot area in Burbank. Great place to have a business meeting late night as I’m real picky. My favorite go to spot for a good snack that I can eat later. I would try the Yakiniku as it’s only available for a limited amount of time. I had to get the egg rolls and combo plate.“
