“Finally got a chance to try this out since had my eye on it since it opened in the neighborhood. The restaurant is on the smaller side and has about 15 tables total so definitely have a bit of patience if going right at dinner time. They only take reservations for parties over 5. If you go at non-peak times, should be able to get seated right away. The host and servers were friendly and constantly came by to clear plates as they were finished and refill drinks. Food wise, you can order a la carte or from 2 levels of AYCE. We went for the premium AYCE and enjoyed it after leaving stuffed and wagyu oozing from our pores. The meat quality was excellent and while each plate was only 4-7 slices, you can just keep ordering if you can handle all the rich and fatty meats. The carpaccios and other appetizers were good and you can order 1/2 size of many dishes so you don't overstuff yourself. So while the price ($75), for premium is definitely up there, it is fair for the quality of the meats and other options. You have a 90 min. limit so be mindful of that as the food does not come out as quickly when the restaurant is full. Overall, something to splurge on once in a while and if you're looking for premium meats. Friendly tip- wear clothes you don't mind smelling like bbq/smoke as their exhaust system could use some improvement as you can visibly see the smoke later in the night when busy as the exhaust at each table is lacking in effectiveness.“

“Nothing Better than this... Family business, Authentic food, and most important Amazing Service. Born & raised in LA and spent years going to the four corners of the valley in search of the God Tier Sushi spot. For a while I felt like Thanos in search of the infinity stones, but instead of finding one stone I found the infinity gauntlet. So now as Thanos said "I can finally rest and watch the sun rise on a grateful universe." In non-nerd terms stop wasting time and money on hit-or-miss spots, Tatsu is worth the time and money!“

“Great hole in the wall sushi spot in Burbank! All the sushi & sashimi we had was delicious. Hamachi Kama was wonderful too - meaty & flavorful! Was on the pricey side of what we usually like to spend but a nice treat! That said, we did have a few sakes which added up to the total…“

“Great quality fish. Lots of choices, they had a special menu with a salmon dragon roll. It had salmon on the outside and the inside for $20 a roll. They have the price on the menu for some reason. We ordered two of them. The OMG roll was also very good. I enjoy this spot it is small and cozy. Originally, I found this place because it said they had beer on draft, but they do not. They do have large bottles of beer, though.Parking: The parking lot is very small. There is a liquor store and a laundromat in the same parking lot. Some spots are a little tight.“

I can eat at least 3 of them.Other sushi rolls are good as well.Worth the try guys.“

“Wonderful little hole in the wall in a large corner mall. I didn't have any expectation, just went with friends after a hike, and what a wonderful surprise! We had the sashimi platters, the fish was perfectly cut, fresh and melted in your mouth. The k4 rolls is a perfect blend of different flavors, looks as good in the plate as it taste, other rolls were as fresh and perfectly prepared. Loved every bite. Service is attentive and friendly. Decor is simple, modern and confortable. We'll be back for more!“

“Octopus has been a staple of mine for years. I absolutely love this restaurant and all of its newest additions. There was no wait time at all when we arrived. The servers quickly took our drink orders and they arrived no more than 5 mins. After we placed an order of six food items. It came out less than 25 mins. The servers made sure our waters were always refilled and checked in frequently to ask if we need anything else. Their service and food quality is amazing.With that being said here are the rolls we ate that came out delicious: Rainbow roll, Oh yeah baby roll, Alaskan roll (must have), Red Dragon, Broiled mussels on half shell, and crispy squid legs. As someone who has came here for years. I noticed a change in portion size for the crispy squid legs. I definitely miss the generous amount that used to be given but nonetheless still delicious. So a lot has changed within the years but they have managed to keep the food quality the same if not better!“

“Great service. I was at a convention at the LA Marriot Burbank airport and afterwards, my friends wanted to eat somewhere walking distance. This came up as an option, and we all walked over. It was near closing (which I didn't realize until later), but they didn't treat us any differently, and they didn't rush us at all. Even at the end, when they were closed, they let me use the bathroom right before we left.I'm not sure if it's because it was near closing or not, or they always do this, but we ordered multiple of the Family Packs so that all of us would have enough food. The portion sizes were large and I'm pretty sure they gave us a lot of extra rice. They even let us eat there, even though these are typically take-out orders only.The Potstickers were good, and it seemed like everyone liked them. The chicken and veggies were alright. They had a nice variety of chicken and veggies included. The California roll was just okay. Most people in my group didn't eat these.“

“Dude, this place has been around forever! I want to say they have extended the restaurant. Wonder if Yelp caps a place? Oldest post seemed to be 3 years ago but like I said they’ve been here for more than 20 years – probably changed hands a few times but nice to know they made it through the Pandemic with outdoor seating!Came during lunch, Carl was our server, he was very attentive to our needs, to be fair we were the only ones there but he and Raymond were nice to check in every so often… a few tables were taken after 10 mins.Ordered LS (Lunch Special)Fujiya Deluxe with the rainbow roll; 5pcs nigiri (salmon, tuna, seared albacore, yellow tail and seared tuna) it was a nice touch of omokase when the chef added eel instead! Also, comes with miso soup andhouse salad 5/5 – Great flavor, fish was very fresh. Tried two of the nigri’s without soy and it was so flavorful!Shrimp and veggie tempura bento box – served with rice, miso soup and house salad 5/5 – Great portion, tempura came out hot and crispy! Miso soup and house salad delish!They do offer a palm deluxe but for another $3 for an upgrade you actually get premium rolls which is worth it!“
