The restaurant has a Disney name, which is actually how I found it the first time. Now that I'm…read moreback in Burbank, it was my first stop! There is outdoor seating if you want to enjoy your meal outside, including a fun tiki-hut-style umbrella. It was warm when I visited, though, so I chose to sit inside where it was nice and cool. The restaurant is designed for quick lunches and relaxed, casual dinners, which was exactly what I needed for a late lunch. I got a slushy, which was perfect for cooling me down while I waited for my food. I ordered my go-to half-and-half combo: Chicken Katsu and BBQ Short Ribs. It's my usual choice when I can't decide what I want. They bring your food right to the table when it's ready. My meal came out on a real plate, and when I asked for the rest to go, the employee brought me a box and a bag. One thing that caught my attention was the movie playing on the television, which had quite a bit of colorful language, especially since there is a Bible quote displayed on the wall. I also noticed a father and young daughter come in, and I was impressed by how the employee interacted with her. She talked to the little girl about the different Hawaiian sodas, asked if she liked Scooby-Doo, and even changed the channel for her. I thought that was a really thoughtful and responsible thing to do. I ate the Chicken Katsu first. It was light and fresh, and the sauce was lighter than the one I'm used to, but still very tasty. I was surprised by how small the scoops of rice were. I usually substitute the mac salad for green salad, or sometimes get all rice, but this time I got the rice and mac salad as they came with the meal. The mac salad was good. The short ribs were delicious and just as I remembered them: well-seasoned, flavorful, and nicely marinated. This is definitely a stop I'll make again whenever I'm visiting Burbank!

Disappointed. Still high prices, but now less food…read more This place has been a staple of Burbank for decades. The prices have steadily gone up, but I've still always gone back to it as comfort. But now, I see that they're skimping on how much food is given too. I ordered a BBQ mix and immediately noticed that all of the protein included is 3/4th of what it used to be. Still same double scoop rice and single scoop mac.

The chicken was extremely overcooked and rubbery, and a large portion of the meat was just fat and not really edible. The food was also served cold, which made the entire meal even more disappointing. On top of that, the mac salad portion was basically a teaspoon -- definitely not worth what I paid. I understand that mistakes happen, but the overall quality and portions were not acceptable. I was hoping for a good Hawaiian BBQ meal and left feeling frustrated and unsatisfied.

Since I parked at the parking structure near this place and walked past it so many times, I decided today was the day to try it. When I walked inside, I was the only customer and it was very humid inside. The AC was not working or they don't have AC. I looked at their menu and the man in the kitchen said he would help me soon. I went with the BBQ Mix plate which is two scoop of rice, macaroni salad, succulent beef, chicken and short ribs. The price is on the higher side and they make your food once you placed the order. It took about 15 minutes for my food to be ready so remember to order ahead. They closed the bathroom and there is not much dining experience here especially with the humid environment inside. I thought my food was okay but not my favorite, especially for the price I paid. The guy working though was nice and we had some brief conversations about the crazy LA weather.

They had a couple of orders for pickup/to-go while I was there so maybe that's where most of their business comes from... Chicken Katsu was a good amount of chicken, crispy but on the dry side. I really enjoy that they have mini portions good for budget and waistline. I got mini beef short ribs and it came with two pieces of meat, mac salad and rice. Family friendly venue, large square footageb inside for spacious table seating.

One time I was sad because they made me wait long as a solo walk-in when I let a couple go ahead of me and I walked out. So keep an eye out, it depends on who's working the front. The reason I still give them 5 stars is because they have since made up for that. It really is a beautiful place, and given that they're a relatively new establishment or a busser could have stepped in if they're busy, so just give them feedback if they need to work on things like that. The food and drinks are so unique to their place, continuing that "hidden jewel" theme. Their menu is limited but all quality food, like you're going to that friend's house and you love their recipe style. I loved the chicken sandwich the best, the crispy chicken was so juicy! Their vegetarian options are devilishly good too, with their happy face potato fritters and fried mac. For drinks, my favorite was the chocolate banana. They use real ingredients, so it really hit the spot for me. The family and kids love it, such a great vibe that you'd never expect.

To be fair, that was the total for the group, so the number alone isn't what bothered me. What bothered me was looking at the food, the portions, and how much we actually enjoyed everything, then feeling like the value wasn't there. The chips and guacamole were probably the clearest example. For $15, the amount of guacamole looked like roughly three tablespoons, and it had a dark greenish-brown appearance that wasn't particularly appetizing. I'm not going to make assumptions about how it was prepared or how long it had been sitting, but the presentation and portion were disappointing. At that price, I expected something more generous and appealing. The pu pu platter was $35 and came with an assortment of items, but the portion looked appropriate for about two people. A platter doesn't necessarily have to feed an entire table of five, but even with that in mind, it didn't feel like a particularly good value. The $15 buffalo cauliflower also failed to impress. There just wasn't enough about it to make me feel that it justified the price. The Caesar salad was probably the best thing I tasted, although I only had a couple of bites. That says quite a bit about how underwhelming the rest of the food felt. There was one positive comment from our table about the Kalua pork tacos, so I want to give those some credit, but I didn't personally try them. They were $18 for two tacos à la carte, which still struck me as a fairly steep price. After reading other diners' reviews, I noticed some similar reactions: people who enjoyed parts of the experience but felt the food was only okay, or that the prices added up quickly. Experiences clearly vary, and some customers really enjoy the food here, but the comments questioning the value made sense to me after our meal. I don't expect every restaurant to be inexpensive, and I'm happy to pay more when the quality and portions make it feel worthwhile. Here, too many items landed in the "fine, but nothing special" category while being priced high enough to create bigger expectations. Three stars feels fair because there were a few things to enjoy, but the food and overall value left me wanting more. At these prices, I'd need a more consistently satisfying meal to feel excited about coming back.

My boyfriend and I were across the street at Fantasia watching a World Cup came, and after we were craving hand rolls, when he spotted Toro Sushi Poke House. We took a look at their menu which was displayed on the outside. The prices were really affordable, so we just had to try it, and were so glad we did because this was one of the most affordable and delicious nigiri and hand roll experiences we've had! The place itself is small and intimate. They have a bar area and few tables inside and a small outdoor seating as well. When we entered we were greeted by our friendly waiter, and seated immediately. It was pretty empty around 5 pm on a Friday, which was convenient because we didn't have to wait for a table. I'm not sure how packed this place normally gets, but it was also the long holiday weekend, so that might be why. We started off with the fatty tuna nigiri. For $6 you get two big pieces, which is so affordable, and the quality was amazing! We then each got the 6 piece hand roll set which came with a spicy tuna, scallop, yellow tail, crab, salmon, and toro. I'm not a fan of scallops, so I switched it out with a yellow tail roll. The fish was top quality and delicious. I cannot wait to come back here and stuff my face again!

As funny as that sounds, that's what usually decides whether I really like a loco moco or not. This place did a great job.

The hamburger patty was a nice size, the egg was cooked perfectly with a nice runny yolk, and they gave me a good portion of macaroni salad along with plenty of rice. The girl working here was also really friendly. I asked if I could get a side of gravy, and instead of a tiny little cup, she gave me a nice portion to dump all over what I had left. Sooo good!
