    Fire eel
    Jordan S.

    If you are into sushi burritos definitely come try this place! The sushi burritos are so good, even the other sushi options they have. I also tried the Kimchi Fried Rice and it was so good!! If you like eel, I recommend the Fire Eel Sushi Burrito! It is so flavorful and even though the burrito looks small, it definitely fills you up! The kimchi fried rice was salty and spicy. It wasn't too salty or spicy - it was perfect! Definitely recommend this restaurant and will be coming back!! Parking is good and not too hard to find parking. They also take phone online orders and not just from their website.

    sushi is super fresh and slightly chilled for a refreshing experience. I got the T rex (spicy tuna, albacore, salmon, smelt egg, avocado, cucumber). you can choose between 4-6oz of rice, and the burrito comes absolutely packed with fish. great price for the size and quality!

    This is the best sushi burrito restaurant in the Glendale / Los Angeles area! I've been a fan of Kimbob Sushi Rex's menu items since their food truck days and now that they have an actual physical restaurant, I'm happy to see that their business is progressing to greater heights. The owners are very nice and hardworking, as I can tell that they put a lot of love and effort into preparing the food for customers. My go-to orders are usually the Big Fat Alaskan or spicy lobster sushi burrito and kimchi Spam musubi. I try to make stop here to pick up dinner because it's on the way home, and their service has been impeccable so far. In fact, I just picked up some sushi burritos and musubis tonight! Support your local restaurants and try out Sushi Rex!

    What a find! Lovely Husband-Wife team preparing the best quality Sushi in rolls and bowls. So sweet and polite service. It is all good here and rivals Sushi Bars that are twice or three times the price.

    Best gracious service ever and amazing and delicious sushi, a favor Sushi place of mine. Helen & Jin are real good at what they do. They consistently deliver clean delicious, heathy Japanese food and take pride in the presentation of what they make. My husband and I always feel good and enjoy when I visit.

    I've loved KimBob-Rex (now Sushi Rex) since they were a food truck! I first tried these amazing sushi burritos when I was in the Ocean Park area of Santa Monica and was immediately hooked. Every disappointment, setback, or challenge at work was healed with a sushi burrito from Kimbobrex :) I'm so glad they are a brick and mortar restaurant now and have had the chance to visit a few times. I love the Spicy Rex Burrito and the Sashimi. The onion sauce is diiiiivine. My mom adores their yellowtail collar! Service is so friendly and warm. You can really tell how much love and care goes into each burrito and dish. Fish is fresh and portions are pretty hefty. Dining area is lovely with the cutest plants and dino drawings. Please give these guys a try if you are in the area!!

    Yum!!!!!

    Love KimBob-Rex!! Been enjoying their amazing food since they were in Granada Hill for food truck nights. These two always go out of their way to serve such great tasting food. This time around I was introduced to Whit fish collar and OMG so good!! Go and enjoy them you won't regret it.

    I've honestly never been amazed by sushi burritos. They are typically overloaded with cheap ingredients and spicy mayo, and are not well proportioned to really allow the fresh fish to shine. This place changed my mind. I liked the sashimi rex. There were large, fresh cuts of sashimi, and a bit of rice-- not too much. The dipping sauce reminded me of the salad dressing you get at Korean restaurants, sometimes. Soy and chili sauce based, with a tiny bit of texture to elevate it. I would come back.

    The generously portioned Dragon Roll actually looks like a stunning dragon!
    E K.

    My girlfriend and I had to run an errand nearby and accidentally went into a parking lot where we saw this restaurant hidden away in the corner. We decided to give it a try and ended up being extremely impressed with the entire experience. The decor is very inviting, and the food was excellent. One of the things I ordered was a dragon roll, which actually was prepared to look like a stunning dragon, the eel piece they used for the dish was a very generous size, and most importantly the taste was wonderful. The owner and staff were very ingratiating as well. We will definitely come back.

We were seated promptly by the friendly host and our effusive, upbeat waitress took our order. I got the Garlic Albacore roll ($20), which was a unique, exceptional dish - delicate albacore on top of spicy tuna, a sour lemon (ponzu) sauce with rich garlic, and crispy onion and garlic on top. Somehow, this roll captured all the flavors - savory, sour, crispy, and sweetness all in one go. Unique and exceptional. The rest of my family got the Tonkotsu Ramen, Salmon Bento Box, and Alaskan rolls, all which were excellent. A special word must be made for the staff. We were seated promptly, our kids' orders taken first so they could start eating earlier, we were promptly offered a free switch to a different bowl of Ramen when, on delivery, we were informed it may be somewhat spicy (which we didn't employ - it was perfect!), and all food came out within 10-15 minutes. The inside is unassuming and spartan, as is common for sushi joints, and prices are quite reasonable. Bonus points for being right next to Handel's ice cream (another 5* review in my catalog) for a perfect, easy dessert and great outdoor vibes. While sushi tends to be fairly uniform across restaurants, Haruka deserves special celebration for several unique, impeccable rolls and exceptional service. A new local favorite - we will return soon! Food: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 4.5/5

A dear friend and I caught up for her belated birthday at Haruka Sake And Sushi, which was once the home of one of our favorite sushi restaurants years ago in Inchiban. Neither of us could recall how long it's been since Ichiban left, but we were amazed that neither of us have tried this replacement since it opened sometime around the pandemic. We both loved to support local businesses in our old neighborhood, so we were excited to see what the new restaurant did to the place. Was it a blissful evening filled with sake, sushi, and stories, or was this place a bit far off from what we happily remembered it to be!? PURCHASE(S) Sapporo Breweries Sapporo Premium Beer 4.9% ABV 22floz Bottle ($9.00 x2): Rich amber color, malty sweet aroma, low body, light malty sweet flavor, clean smooth finish, and light malty sweet aftertaste. Always a favor with sushi! Deep Fried Shishito Peppers ($9.50): Butter sautéed shishito peppers with ponzu sauce, these slightly spicy tasty treats were fun to nibble on between sushi rolls! Sesame Chicken Karaage ($12.50): A bountiful amount of deep-fried sesame seasoned chicken pieces, this was a meal itself as I had to stop myself from feasting on these hot tender crispy nuggets! Garlic Albacore Fresh Cut Roll 8pc ($18.95): Albacore on top of a spicy tuna roll, accompanied by refreshing cucumber and topped with crispy onion and garlic served with a savory garlic ponzu sauce, this was an aromatic delight with plump succulent pieces of fish that melted in your mouth! Lion King Baked Cut Roll 8pc ($18.95): Baked spicy tuna on top of salmon wrapped California roll topped with smelt eggs, green onions, and unagi sauce, each flavorful packed piece was the size of shumai that almost made me snore than roar due to an onset of food coma! Hot Night Tempura Cut Roll 8pc ($17.95): Jalapeño, spicy tuna, sriracha on top of shrimp tempura roll, mild spicy crunch and spicy mayo on top, a beautifully-presented roll with warming spices from start to finish, I was fanning down a bit. Salmon Crazy Tempura Cut Roll 8pc ($17.95): Spicy chopped salmon on top of shrimp tempura roll, topped with spicy mayo and green onions, another beautifully-presented roll this time with buttery salmon and a light sweet tempura casing. SERVICE Warmly greeted by a young hostess, she asked if the bar was fine (which it was) and led us there where we were then met by a friendly gentleman who gave us menus and glasses of water. After a few annoyed attempts by our female server to take our order (we weren't ready), we finally got our shit together and threw it down! Within minutes, everything arrived like an assembly line with minimal space to put it all... but we managed. With plenty of leftovers, they kindly packed everything up, we paid, and off we went into the night - arigato! PARKING (FREE): They shared parking within a smallish strip mall that featured a handful of other businesses such as Handel's Homemade Ice Cream, Rice & Nori, Kobeissi Properties, and more. Otherwise, there were spots along the main drags of Foothill Blvd. and Oakwood Ave. - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A clean modern open spacious layout with plenty of barstool, booth, and table seating, and a quieter small back dining room. The bar counter gave access to the chefs as you watched them prepare each creation. No promotional items at all, while the decor was minimalistic Japanese. A decent amount of natural lighting entered through the front doors and windows while an assortment of electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs while faint music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Haruka Sake And Sushi was a wonderful replacement for our beloved Ichiban, and we will definitely return! The food was fresh and tasted wonderful, the portions rocked, the menu was vast with plenty of options, the prices were comparable, and the service was outstanding (sorry for making the server wait for us). And, I preferred to support small mom & pop businesses (they had three total locations). I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $126.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS
