The service is good. Typical (high) price for Japanese food but have been there many times and never had anything I did not like. Tempura California roll is good.

Just stumbled upon this place right in the heart of downtown Burbank. We could see through the windows that it was busy but not overflowing. The door looked delicious. The service was pleasant with the staff all chanting "Irashaimasen" (welcome) when new guests walk through the doors. I had the Lunch salmon teriyaki and it was absolutely the best salmon... More

We have been eating sushi since 1979 and this was a great place. The hamachi sashimi were huge fresh slabs of yellowtail, uni was fresh and plentiful an the special roll with lobster melted in your mouth.

Went here twice. The first time they could not get my order right. And i got a dirty soup spoon with green stuff still stuck to it. The waitress just replaced like this happens all the time. The second time i went with my husband and the sushi was horrible. Looks nice from the outside but not a good experience... More

What a delight to stumble upon this gem in Burbank! With delicious Japanese food, and a huge menu with competitive Happy Hour prices, this is definitely a lunch option to be reckoned with! The unagi bowl is enough to bring me back here as often as possible. Just order the sushi rice instead of the steamed rice and enjoy! Also,... More

I would go early in order to not have to wait a long time. The Ramen is very good and the spicy crab rolls are good and filling.

I've eaten here several times and am always impressed by the friendliness of the staff and attentive service. I had the sushi combo (can't remember the name on the menu) and it was very good - not great - but good. It seemed a little smaller than what I was expecting, but then when the bill came, it was a...

Located in downtown Burbank this is a cozy, quaint little place on the corner. Started off with Miso soup, then went on to Tofu Avocado Salad. OMG, this dressing was to die for! We finished with salmon sushi rolls which were good, but nothing like that salad! Great warm Saki too as it was a bit cool in the evening.

My son and I ate at Kabuki for a late lunch and were surprised to find it was Happy Hour. This made the pricing very affordable as sushi goes and everything still tasted very good. The sushi here is better than many, but not the top notch (maybe second notch), still very good and fresh though. My son does not... More
