This Sansai is located by the Burbank airport. It's a convenient option if you feel hungry before or after your flight. I love their lunch deals which starts at just $10. I'm not sure how can they still offer such a low price. Service is fast and friendly. I have met two different cashiers in two occasions that I'd been here. Shout out to Uriel and Charlie, two young boys who work as cashiers here. Most young kids work for the money but not Uriel and Charlie who take their jobs seriously. read more

Location is closed on Halloween. There is no signage that the business is closing early for Halloween. Due to the lack of customer service I would recommend that ALL customers find a new place to patronage. read more

Made a stop here after driving by for the past decade. I was pleasantly surprised how tasty and affordable the food is. Very clean inside, the staff is welcoming and the orders are prepared fairly quick. The sushi, combo plates and rolls are very good. My favorite item is the baked salmon roll. read more

Middle of the road, not incredible but not bad. I do wish their website described their offerings better. I ordered a sushi burrito and did not expect globs of cream cheese inside it, thankfully it was able to be picked out. I also ordered a teriyaki chicken plate and that was solid, their rice did leave much to be desired. read more

The food was so delicious. I ordered fish tacos, poke bowl and a chicken and shrimp bowl. I wish I would have taken pictures of the food but I will be back to add them on our next visit. The staff is so polite and helpful. read more

This is my Favorite place! Portions are great and the food is amazing every time. I've tried a wide variety of menu items and I can honestly say they all have been great. We were fortunate to meet the owners tonight and they were the kindest people! They truly care about their customers. They made us feel right at home! If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would! read more

Clean and convenient to my Burbank studio. Ordered off a screen and had no issues. Took about 10 minutes, only a few customers for a later lunch. My friend had the chicken curry and gyoza and it looked good. I had a beef and chicken teriyaki combo. read more

Sansai Grill - Combo teriyaki plate - Japanese Near Me - Burbank, California

Overall was disappointed with the noodles and the taste of everything, it just tasted weird and the sauce they used didn't even taste anything remotely like teriyaki. Not my cup of tea, or should I say teriyaki? Haha I'll see myself out. read more

I order the most amazing poke nachos from here the other day and was not disappointed! They were topped work lots of fresh tuna and avocado. The wonton chips were cooked perfectly and they had a perfect amount of eel sauce and spicy mayo as well. They were perfect , I'd definitely return here for these alone. Amazing service as well, they made to pack all the necessary utensils. read more

I love this place! I come here weekly for my sushi fix. Online ordering makes it so easy and convenient. There is a kiosk available once you walk in for easy ordering as well. The staff is super friendly and rolls are made to order. The menu allows variety for everyone: chicken teriyaki, salads, sushi, and more! Lots of tables available for dine in. Order at the counter and they will call your name when your order is ready! My favorite is the baked salmon roll and oriental salad. read more

This place is very clean and the service was Friendly! I ordered the temporary and steak plate. The price was good and the amount of food was a ton! The steak didn't taste that great but was decent. It's definitely a fast food Japanese place. I think if I lived close to it I may try it again because maybe I ordered the wrong thing. The salads didn't have much flavor. I love the concept of this place! read more

I had a couple of hours to kill after landing at Burbank Airport and needed something quick but decent within walking distance while waiting for my train. After checking out a few nearby options, I landed on SanSai Grill (pardon the pun). It looked clean, convenient, and had solid reviews -- so I figured it was worth a try. The Vibe: This spot sits in a strip center near the airport, so there's not a ton of atmosphere -- it does feel a little sterile, to be honest. That said, it was spotless, which I really appreciate when traveling. Service: Service was exactly what I expected: friendly, efficient, and no fuss. You order at the counter, grab a number, and they bring the food out to your table. Nothing particularly memorable, but also nothing to complain about -- just smooth and easy, which was exactly what I wanted after a flight. Food & Drinks: I went with the Salmon Bowl over brown rice and added the Sumi Salad on the side. The presentation was clean, and everything tasted fresh, though the flavors were pretty mild. The teriyaki sauce was standard, and the Sumi Salad -- while crisp -- didn't have much personality beyond the crunch. (It's cabbage, carrots, green onions, almonds, sesame seeds, and crispy noodles with their house dressing.) The brown rice was fine, and I stuck with water since I was rehydrating post-flight. Overall: It definitely hit the spot for what I needed -- a quick, healthy lunch before catching my train down to San Diego. I know there are several SanSai Grill locations around LA, and while I wouldn't go out of my way to visit one, I wouldn't hesitate to stop in again if I were nearby. Clean, convenient, and solid -- just not one that leaves a lasting impression. read more

I've been here a few times for a quick lunch. I had a decent meal at SanSai Japanese Grill and would rate it a solid 4/5. I ordered the Chicken Bowl with a Kale Salad, and while the salad was fresh, crunchy, and had a nice balance of flavors, the chicken left a bit to be desired. It was tender but lacked seasoning, making it feel a little bland. A bit more sauce or spice would've made a big difference. I also tried the California Roll, which was fresh but unfortunately pretty dull. It didn't have much flavor and felt like it was missing that extra something to make it stand out. While nothing was bad, the flavors just didn't wow me. Despite that, the portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh, making it a good choice for a quick and casual meal. I'd go back, but I'd probably try something different next time! read more

Sansai Grill - Chicken Bowl with a Kale Salad as a side. - Japanese Near Me - Burbank, California

I haven't had SanSai in years, since they had closed the location nearest to me several years ago. I was surprised to know that there are some still around. This SanSai location is right beside Burbank Airport. Literally the next lot, so be mindful when driving here because you might pass it or make a mistake driving into the Airport traffic. Plenty of free parking here shared with several restaurants & businesses. Service was friendly when ordering at the counter. But really no interaction after that. Only when your order is ready, you get your food from the them. Plenty of seating, although our table we chose was a tad sticky & bench seating had a slight stench. Other than that... I give them 3 1/2 Stars, rounded up to 4. It was nice to have a quick dinner here w/ my +1 before my flight on a Friday night. It's a convenient location overall & other places nearby. Good portion for dinner. I enjoyed my salad & salmon. I'm here for the Lunch Bowls, Plates & Oriental Salad. It was also my + 1's first time trying them out & already mentioned he will return to another SanSai nearby. read more

Ordered chicken katsu on Uber eats the chicken was so dry I couldn't eat it, egg rolls where ok over all three stars nothing great

Clean & nice service, the rice was good as well. But the rest was absolutely- meh I got the steak yakisoba noodles with the oriental salad; the steak was overcooked & the yakisoba noodles had a spice I didn't particularly like & it overpowered the dish, then the oriental salad had zero flavor! How can something that supposedly has sesame oil in it be flavorless? But it was. I paid over $25 (including a $2 tip) for completely less than mediocre food, I'm so bummed! read more

Super impressed with the quality of fish, miso, and gyoza. Service was also very friendly and having the option of ordering at a kiosk is good for those on the go. Didn't know this gem existed and I'll be back! Super clean and simple as well as priced right. read more

Came back for more before heading to the City that never sleeps...Love this place. We had the Steak plate, the Chicken plate and a Cheeto roll and Tiger roll. We chose brown rice over white, the sumi salad over the oriental and kale salads, and it also came with the miso soups. The staff was Awesome, again. The meals again were SOO good! The miso soup is comforting and delish. The meats were grilled just right. Thanks again, Sansai! read more

Update a year later! Back here for another conference and came back here for lunch...happy to report they have reusable plates & bowls, yay! Tried out the salmon bowl Cajun style, so it wasn't saucy, so not recommended if you like sauce on your food! Tasty as expected, and I was able to switch out the salad for a grilled veggies skewer instead, thanks! Also ordered some spicy tuna roll. Staff are still friendly and helpful here, a plus! And I like the bright and light feel of the space...break from all day conference talks! A good go to for fast food Japanese! read more

I'm familiar with the San Sai on Rosecrans near El Segundo/Manhattan Beach. Their menu has a lot more variety & better selection of salads IYKYY.Honestly the food lacked flavor. I ordered a crispy rice and then two sushi rolls. They were just average not anything special honestly just wasn't that good I probably won't be back but at least now I know that all of these are not the same. It was decent just not great. read more

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. read more

This place never lets us down. We are here almost every weekend and food is fresh and delicious. We see people that we recognize that come here every weekend as well, so it's not just us that's enjoying this place. Irene, Karla, Miguel and Charlie as always give their customers an outstanding service. They never fail to give us a smile. It's truly a delight to have someone like Irene lead this team. Thank you for keeping this place so welcoming and clean! read more

Sansai Grill - Sear Ahi Tuma Salad and Teriyaki Chicken Pot sticker - Japanese Near Me - Burbank, California

Located right next to the airport which is convenient if you're waiting for someone to arrive and have time to kill. I ordered the Ramen which was lacking - soup had no flavor, pork belly was ok, noodle cooked ok and egg wasn't done because the whites were still watery. My 7 year old liked it so that was a plus. The child's chicken plate was a good deal; came with rice and good amount of chicken. Chicken was tender and sauce good. My daughter really liked the potstickers and even asked me to order more. Hubby got the pole which he liked. Seemed to have a lot of food at a decent price. It came with miso soup which both my daughter and hubby really liked. Located in a plaza with other food options. Plenty of parking. It's a decent option if you need to be near the airport and want some Japanese food, but it wouldn't be my first choice. read more

A cute spot to grab lunch or an easy dinner. I ordered on the self service kiosk i which was nice since I was able to look through all the options and take my time. The staff seemed nice and my food didn't take long to come out. The pork potstickers have a nice crunch on the exterior and have a gentle spice to them that's very subtle but noticeable enough to add a depth of flavor. The Red Bull roll had carrot which I thought was an interesting and added a harder crunch factor. I did end up taking the carrot out of most of the roll. The three types of protein, shrimp, crab, and spicy tuna make a a mouth full of fun flavors. Something creamy like avocado or cream cheese would have been a nice addition. Overall the food was good and the interior of the restaurant was pleasant. read more

Bugs in the salads, sushi / poke fish not clean. Within my friend group, multiple instances of skin breakouts/hives after eating here that frequents the Burbank area. We eat sushi often; this doesn't ever happen. Pretty disappointed as I've been going to San Sai locations for a long time. Avoid this restaurant! read more

The person helping me was named Stefanie and she was the nicest, from the moment I walked in she had a super great energy that was super patient with me. I didn't know most of the things on the menu and she told me everything patiently.

The food, was excellent, the service was excellent, very clean, I'm so happy to be here, for sure I will be back.

It was not busy at 2:30pm on a Friday, yet it was a long wait. A full 21 minutes after ordering, I went up to inquire about my order. The three employees at the counter were mostly just chillin. I'm convinced they started only because I went up there. The poke nacho could have been delicious but the they seriously ruined it with far too much aioli and eel sauce. It was so salty, half the chips were inedible. It would have been great because the 'chips' were fried wonton skins that created a light and airy but very crispy texture. The salmon roll tasted like a typical salmon roll. Nothing special. Overall food portions were small. We ended up going to Panda Express to top off. Yeah sad, I know. read more

If this place wasn't so far I'd eat here way more frequently! This was convenient when we flew out of the Burbank airport and we're hungry. Being that Burbank is a smaller airport there isn't restaurants like the ones they have in LAX. But if you have time before or even after you land I'd walk (if you can) towards the front of the airport and you'll see different restaurants in a lot. We chose this place because I'm familiar with their menu and I prefer real food than McDonald's (sorry not sorry)m Anyways! The staff was awesome and the place was so clean! Everything on the menu reads delicious and i loved what we got. read more

I can honestly say that I am not a fan of SanSai, but my recent visit was a pleasant one. My mother knew that I was watching my food intake and she suggested that we go out and have something healthy. I asked her what she had in mind. My initial thought was a no, but at the same time, she doesn't go out much so we went. While browsing the menu she wanted the sushi & roll combo while I picked their spicy sashimi salad. The sushi and roll combo was perfect for her as it came with soup and a small salad. I do like the options of fish they offer. This combo comes with four nigiri and gives you five choices to choose from. My spicy sashimi salad was huge! After eating all the goodies I was left with a lot of greens to take home for another round the following day. Parking: small private lot VERDICT: One and done read more
