Picked up my son from Burbank airport and we decided to stop by here for sushi. The place is not big but they do have a waitlist so you can reserve when you're on your way. Seems like a neighborhood spot. There's a huge selection of rolls - they have it on the menu and also other rolls on the board. It has var seats and maybe 6-7 tables. We picked from the menu - I ordered albacore, tamago and yellow tail sushi. We also got 2 more rolls. Price and service is good so I would say that value wise this placeis worth the try! read more

Yesterday, I went to a sushi restaurant called NikoNiko in Burbank, and it was completely satisfying in every way. My daughter ordered a tuna roll, and I got the sushi dinner combo. The food was extremely fresh and delicious, and the service was great. The portion sizes were just right, too. Even the miso soup that came with the combo was really good. The interior was neat and clean, and the restrooms were also very clean and well-maintained. The staff were friendly, attentive, and handled everything well--my daughter was super happy with the experience. Although the restaurant was a bit small and packed with customers, we were lucky enough to get seated right away without waiting. I'll definitely go back when I have the chance! read more

Came here on a solo date to try out some rolls. They didn't disappoint, fish was super fresh. All 3 rolls I tried were delicious. One better than the next. The baked mussels had just the right amount of yummy sauce. Service was nice and they were always checking on you. Kept my water glass full. Place is small and yet inviting. They need to update their prices online, unfortunately things were more expensive than they say online . read more

When we walked in, we were greeted and seated pretty fast. The restaurant itself was a bit small with about 4-5 dining tables only and the sushi bar. My sister and I tried a lot of different dishes that were recommended by the server. The udon was subpar and lacked flavor depth. However their sushi rolls are unique and refreshing. I really enjoyed how the fresh fish sat on top of the sushi rolls and it was light and not too overwhelming. I would come back here and try other foods as they have a wide variety of sushi rolls I have never tried before. read more

Big fan of the Japanese Spring roll and the no rice rolls. The shop is small and always packed. The parking lot of also small but the service is great and the fish is fresh and tasty. read more

Excellent fresh sushi. Lots of specialty rolls. Good portions. Very reasonably priced for the quality. Attentive staff. We arrived about 4:30 pm on a Sunday afternoon. Got the last table for two. But tables opened up regularly. The tempura ice cream serving is big enough for two people. read more

This place is pretty small but they fit a decent amount of people inside. They have regular table seating or sushi bar seating. They have soooo many options of rolls, maybe about 50 different types. Although it was busy in there, the service was pretty quick for drinks and food. The nigiri pieces we ordered are very fresh and melt in your mouth. The sushi rolls and the bento box were very good. It was in a strip mall so I was skeptical but noticed that those are the best sushi restaurants. read more

Very small space that packs a punch! Awesome sushi. Fresh seafood. Scrumptious rolls. They have a matcha flavored beer for those interested! Our local sushi spot. read more

I went to this Japanese restaurant during weekend lunch. It is located inside a little plaza so there is decent parking available. There was a little wait since there are some people who come to dine or order food to go. It is not a large restaurant, it is a bit intimate with a bar seating so you can see the chef make the sushi rolls. I recommend this place because they offer quality sushi and bentos. They have a diverse menu with no rice options as well. Prices are reasonable and the quantity of food you get with the bento was worth it! I like their combination of having tuna sushi, bulgogi, salad, rice, and miso soup. The whole dining in was made more enjoyable with the staff's friendly customer service. Definitely will come back again. read more

We've seriously been sleeping on this place. We've been coming here more and more lately, and it honestly hasn't disappointed once. The sushi is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made, and the overall experience keeps us coming back. Definitely becoming one of our go-to spots. read more

Make it make sense. You order a large salad and get a tiny container of salad dressing. You ask for extra dressing and they say it's going to be an additional charge. How much? $6! Not unless I'm getting a bottle of dressing. Get it together Niko, it's literally garlic ponzu- not liquid gold. read more

Great quality fish for the price! Definitely leans way more into the western style of sushi with lots of specialty rolls, but they do have more traditional options as well. Surprisingly popular so except a wait during dinner rush. read more

Initiate setting, small but clean establishment with friendly wait staff. We ordered a 9pc Sashimi to share, and three rolls: genki, dragon and chuck-u. The genki was by far our favorite roll, has both salmon and unagi. The chuck-h roll was second, we didn't realize it had cream cheese. The dragon was a CA roll with spice tuna on top, a pretty basic roll but executed as such. The item they give is nice but look around on the walls and order from there is what I recommend. read more

Really conflicted on how to rate this experience. Food was excellent but service was startlingly poor. I came at 1pm on a weekday and the place was less than half full. The menu is huge and my waitress didn't explain that there were additional options on the walls as well, it was overwhelming on my first visit. I asked for a recommendation and apparently that was a problem. My waitress had no response and flagged down another to answer my question but she seemed very annoyed with the question and snapped at me when I didn't know what kind of fish I wanted. Personally I felt it was very reasonable to ask what's good at a place that was new to me so I just ordered what Yelp recommended which was a garlic albacore roll which was delicious. Had the service not been so offfputting I would have loved to try more but I couldn't leave fast enough after that. I found it odd as I then watched the waitress have several normal conversations with presumably regulars. Not sure that I would come back which is sad because I'm in the area often for work and quality per price was excellent. read more

Niko Niko Sushi - Garlic Albacore - Sushi Bars Near Me - Burbank, California

I don't know how this place got out of my rotation. I used to come here allll the time. Their poke bowl is my favorite item on their menu. It's so simple but that dressing they pour on it, is so delicious. I can sip it haha You can't miss when it comes to the rolls and it's so hard to choose. But I feel they have a roll for just about anyone. It is a very small spot but it makes it feel intimate and there can be a wait time. If I counted correctly there's enough seating for like 30 people and that's including the bar. Also, the service is great here and they are pretty quick as well. I like that the waiters don't go around acting like one specific table is theirs, they constantly are checking up on everyone. read more

Niko Niko Sushi - Poke salad - Sushi Bars Near Me - Burbank, California

This place is my absolute favorite for Sushi. It's a small place with a few tables and you can dine by the bar where the sushi chefs are at but it's worth the wait, Trust me on that. I always like to start with their Edamame and their half Poki Salad, it's delicious their dressing is by far the best I've had on a salad does contain peanuts so just be aware of that. Their Alaska roll is also a great choice the salmon is cooked and I love it that way, a nice crunch and very flavorful. Their service here is fast and attentive food comes out pretty fast they have a few sushi chefs due to that. They have a bunch of cool names for their signature rolls all over the wall so you can try new stuff. Love the decor it's simple yet unique for sushi. If you are ever in the Burbank area def give this place a go! read more

I tried this spot for the first time the other day- it was AWESOME! So many people recommended it that I had to go in. Wait was not bad, servers were quick and kind. I sat at the bar. The server recommended two popular items to me and they SERVED!! The Poki Salad was flavorful and fresh and The Johnson roll was creamy and delightful! Not too spicy. I could have shared these two items with a second person, but I ate it all!!! No regrets! I even came back later with my bf to make him try. He loved it too! We tried the Alaskan Roll (not pictured), which again tasted SO fresh and flavorful and the gyoza. I liked the crunch of their gyoza! We then ordered The Johnson with shrimp tempura (bf wanted tempura) and it was great. 10/10 would recommend! read more

This restaurant is located just outside the downtown area of Burbank within a small strip mall. The restaurant does have a small parking lot for customers. The restaurant is quite small with a sushi bar and table seating. Not the best place to go with large groups. The restaurant does feature an extensive list of rolls as you can see within the picture menu. Plus, they have a menu of specials featured on the walls. And you can always get just fish (sashimi). The rolls were good, but I prefer rolls without chopped fish or intimation crab. I like my fish whole, but most of the items on the menu featured chopped tuna or crab. The restaurant prices are good for sushi, and especially for this area. read more

Many years of coming here, I still choose this place as a local sushi spot. Their poke salad is so simple but out of this world delicious! Especially with a squeeze of lemon and extra dressing. My go to rolls are the tataki roll, the Natalie roll which is packed with fish and chunks of avocado on top and of course anything with fresh scallops! Service is always quick and super friendly. Place is a bit on the cozy side but good thing is they accept yelp waitlists which is a win. read more

Niko Niko Sushi - The infamous poke salad and scallop sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Burbank, California

Another amazing experience at Niko Niko. Had our usual garlic albacore roll with poki salad. Wife wanted to try the garlic edamame and it was a hit! Our daughter had the California roll and a cucumber hand roll. We ended our meal with a tempura green tea ice cream and it was the perfect ending to a great meal. Service was great as usual! read more

This is a popular local sushi spot. The price is fairly reasonable too. I've tried a few rolls from here, all good, but nothing beats the ultimate albacore for me. I am obsessed with the little onion crisps and garlic ponzu it comes with. Every time I order a roll to-go here I'm tempted to just stay because of the bubbly atmosphere. This place is always buzzing at night, whether people are locked into a game or catching up with friends over sushi and sake. The chefs working at the center of the main table also have great energy. Make sure to end your night here with their green tea ice cream, it's the perfect sharing size. read more

The best sushi spot in Burbank... a charming sushi spot with a lively yet somehow chill vibe... Everyone there is so friendly and kind, the service is great, and the food is everything you want it to be... Fresh and delicious... if you're getting sushi in Burbank, highly highly recommend... Make sure to get the black snapper sashimi, or the salmon belly with caviar, exquisite. read more

The food, service, and overall ambiance were great. We arrived at 9:23pm and were the only customers in the restaurant so the food came quickly. Sushi was very fresh! Definitely going back read more

Niko Niko Sushi - From left to right: 1212, salmon killer, inchiban, & Natalie Rolls - Sushi Bars Near Me - Burbank, California

We were craving sushi (as always) and wanted to try somewhere new. After researching multiple contenders, we settled on Niko Niko and I'm so glad we did. We arrived around 5pm on a Saturday and got seated right away. Service was friendly and fast. The wait staff was very attentive and kind. The vibe was nice but casual. They had the dodgers game playing which added a fun sporty element to the restaurant. The food was amazing! My personal fave was the rainbow roll. Apart from their printed menu, they also have tons of other roll options on their wall! We decided to order the golden state from the wall menu and it was awesome! Just a little more spicy than I can handle lol! So be sure to ask your waiter if a roll is spicy before ordering if you're like me. We will be returning! read more

We ordered bento box with tempura and chicken cutlet. It was not bad although the cutlet could use more salt and the tempura batter was a bit too heavy. Otherwise, the sauces were solid and salad and miso soup were tasty. We also ordered shogun sushi combination. Overall, the sushi was fresh and solid. However, the rice was a bit crumbly even though it was a good deal. I'm not sure exactly which fish we got, but a couple of pieces were particularly tasty. The crunchy roll was also tasty. Overall, I would probably give the food 3.5 stars. I do think there are other sushi places that offer better value for the money. I'm not sure I would come back, but I am glad I tried it. read more

Niko Niko is our go-to spot we usually go to and really enjoy it. I ordered to-go today for lunch since I was really crazy sushi. Not just any sushi, I was craving Niko Niko. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed. Almost everything I ordered was so off. The ingredients, seasoning, the final dish and taste. It wasn't pleasant this time which isn't the case usually. It felt like different items and/or diff chef. The chef shouldn't matter since its standard items in the menu. It was all weird. The popcorn lobster had different seasoning on it (the green powder like) and it was super chewy not crunchy. The jumbo scallop nigiri box said no soy sauce on it (which I never said anything about that) and it looked seared for some reason which looked strange since we didn't ask for that. It also didn't have the usual yuzu paste. The spicy scallop roll also looked very different, not the usual. I wasn't happy with it this time and have to be honest in my review. If they changed their menu and the items are different from the usual norm, they should let their customers know. I wouldn't have ordered most of the items. I think I'm good with Niko for a while. My craving was not satisfied and unfortunately was so disappointed. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed the sushi restaurant if you have people who don't like sushi this might not be the best choice because the non-sushi options are limited. They have a lot of creative rules, beautiful presentation not the biggest restaurant does have parking. It was quite yummy and I was also thought it was very reasonably priced. read more

I love the creative specialty rolls here! In addition to their regular menu, there are a dozen or so "special" rolls detailed on their walls. We sat at the bar and went with the following: - Salmon Lollipop: SO delicious. Seared salmon with Tobiko (roe) and a slice of lemon. Yum. - Salmon Killer: Love me some creamy spicy salmon. Probably my favorite of the evening. - Marilyn Monroll: Jumbo tiger shrimp in tempura and sauce, with a blue crab cut roll. The shrimp definitely added some good flavor to the crab. - Elina #2: Baked shrimp and scallops in a rich dynamite sauce - delish, warm, satisfying. Maybe a bit too much sauce, but it delivered. Prices were reasonable for the quantity and quality of the rolls. Others ordered nigiri and sashimi, but we were in the mood for some thicc rolls. Mission accomplished! Service was super efficient, people were friendly. Free parking in a small lot out front. This place is in a strip mall-type plaza, pretty easy to find. read more

They're sushi is okay but they completely lie about their prices and know it. They have gotten a lot of compliments over the years they said and still haven't changed it. The prices you see here on yelp are all about $7-$10 less than they actually charge you per roll! A $40 bill turns out to be almost $70 and they say "oh well". That's actually illegal and it's called 'bait and switching'. Don't support a place that rips people off. read more

3/5 overall, 4/5 for taste of the food. Join the waitlist and immediately check in with the host so they physically see you, they don't update the waitlist accurately and you could possibly be seated earlier. We waited a full hour when our estimated seat time was 15 minutes from when we joined. The food does not come out all at once, it comes out at different times all spread too far apart in my opinion. We had to wait a while after we finished each roll, which was kind of ridiculous. Only come here if you want to wait forever for your food to be made. With that being said though, everything we ordered was delicious, the rice was cooked perfectly and the fish was fresh. The ratio of rice to fish was also perfect, not too much rice and not skimpy on the fish. We ordered the miso soup, Sunkist roll, Salmonkiller, Monkeybrain roll and Vegas roll. The miso soup was good and standard. The [Sunkist roll] was good, get this if you love salmon, I would get this again. The [Salmonkiller] definitely had a slight spicy kick, with a lot of sesame oil essence. This was good but slightly too wet for me to re-order again. The [Monkeybrain roll] is a baked roll, comes out steaming hot and was very savory and delicious. I would get this again! Finally, the [Vegas roll] was good, tempura was crispy but I wouldn't order it again because I feel like there was too much going on with the sauce on top, shrimp tempura and tuna inside that you couldn't really taste everything individually. Good but I would personally pass next time. Overall service was good but SLOW.. I probably wouldn't come back unless I had a TON of time to kill and I wasn't starving. read more

Great food! Reasonable prices! We come to this location two times a month usually, we tend to order the same exact stuff.

This restaurant is exceptionally clean, and the atmosphere truly transports you to Japan. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted warmly, and when you leave, the staff bids you goodbye in Japanese a thoughtful touch that adds to the experience. The food is consistently fresh, and the chefs are authentic and highly skilled, which really shows in every dish. The prices are very reasonable, and I strongly recommend trying the Genki Roll, Spicy Scallop Roll, Dragon Roll, and Popcorn Lobster Roll. My coworkers and I have been coming here for more than five years, and it continues to be one of our absolute favorite spots. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to everyone! read more

When you go to Niko Niko, it's like going to a friends house to share a meal. I don't live in Burbank...yet...but when I get the chance to go, I am never disappointed.

I highly recommend that you go there to try it at least once and I'm sure that you will be going back! I know my sons and I will!!!!!! read more

This is a tiny sushi restaurant that we have wanted to check out for a long time. When we stepped in the door there was barely enough room to wait. In fact we were asked to wait outside until space at the bar was ready. We waited outside for about 15 minutes. I knew they weren't going to come get us. We finally checked back inside and were seated but not before I got tripped by another guest. The place was so loud and full that it made me uncomfortable. AND there was another guest 3 seats away who was SO LOUD! We had to hear all about his finances! We ordered 3 rolls. The garlic Albacore roll was the best. Caterpillar roll was good. And Vegas roll was forgettable. We also got an order of unagi(eel) which was good. It was all just ok. But I don't think we'll return. read more

I came hungry and left satisfied. I ordered their Sashimi A Combo and the portion was perfect! It came with a little salad, miso soup, and rice. The cuts of salmon, tuna and albacore were generous. The staff were welcoming and attentive. There was a staff member that was training and he did well. We were seated comfortably at the counter. They also have large tables for groups. The place isn't the biggest but it wasn't a problem. Parking is shared amongst all the businesses in the plaza so plan for that. Parking was plenty during our visit but that may not be the case all time, especially for LA County. read more

Niko Niko is my favorite sushi spot! My husband and I used to come here all the time when we lived in Burbank. Now we come to visit as often as we can, we love Niko Niko! Every time we walk in we are greeted with a friendly face. Not only were we greeted when we walk in, but also when we walked out. We know how busy it can get so we get there before dinner rush, so we can get a table right away. Their sitting are is small, but it's worth it to wait. You can also do take out. We started with a warm bowl of miso soup. Then we ordered our favorite rolls which are their double roll, Sunkist roll, spicy tuna roll, California roll and salmon sushi!! Sooo yummy!! Everything comes out quickly and tastes really fresh! See you soon Niko Niko! read more
