I've come here a few times in the past and have always had a good experience. My last visit was a quick stop and everything went well as usual. I ordered a Miso Soup and Garlic Albacore roll. Both were tasty and the wait time was very minimal. Friendly service. Casual decor but warm ambiance. read more

Sushi Dake - Garlic Albacore Roll - Japanese Near Me - Burbank, California

We frequented Sushi Dake for years, and could always count on it to deliver. While they were never cheap, the extra expense was worth it in our opinion, based on the quality of the fish, the rolls and the nigiri. When we wanted something superior for the additional $, it was a reliable go-to. Picked up there often during Covid, and was always happy. Placed an order for pickup this past weekend. It had been a year or more since we've been there, and we ordered our usual likes. The total came in quite a bit higher than we were used to, but it was OK, because it was, after all Dake, and everything's getting more expensive. Picked it up right at the appointed time, and got it home quickly. It was. a let down, on every level. The rice in the nigiri was a cold, gummy clump, like it had just been pulled out of a refrigerator. The tuna that topped it was dry, tough and smelled and tasted "off". Two other orders of various nigiri were a waste of money, based on the rice issue. The rolls were no better - just mushy, pretty tasteless, overall what you'd maybe expect at an all-you-can-eat sushi place, not close to even Kabuki-level. And with a pretty hefty price tag (dinner for two came in at $130.00 with no alcohol) I felt taken advantage of. There's no justification for that kind of money for sushi of this quality. If you can't even care enough to get the rice right, why are you selling sushi? It was nice having a local quality sushi spot. Based on this experience, Sushi Dake is no longer that place. Won't be chancing it again. read more

I primarily order takeout and their bento boxes are perfect for my appetite and long work days. Always prepared swiftly and with care! If I wasn't always on the run for work, I would love to stay in and dine - it feels cozy and comforting inside. read more

Sushi Dake - sushi sashimi combo!! - Japanese Near Me - Burbank, California

Great sushi! Great service. My new favorite spot to go to when I want a lean high protein meal. Impressive menu.

(Dined 10/28/2022 FR @ 1:30pm): Literally... sushi dake ("only")! I've driven by Sushi Dake countless times and always said to myself, "I need to try this place out". That day finally came on this "no-meat Friday" when a friend was in town for work, so we decided to have lunch together and simply caught up with each other. I could easily eat sushi every day which would become an expensive habit. Was this long-time coming worth it!? PURCHASE Dry Asahi Beer 12floz Bottle ($5.95 x2): My friend opted for multiple smaller bottles instead of one large one. Dry Asahi Beer 21floz Bottle ($8.95): It was always a custom for me to drink a Japanese beer with my sushi whether it be Kirin, Sapporo, or in this case Asahi - kanpai https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=QZoMBAVMMYFhTBkOlOskOQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! 2pc Tuna Sushi ($7.50): Fresh, meaty, and soft, this was tasty but a tad on the small size. Blue Crab Hand Roll ($9.95 x2): Filled with lots of crab, rice, and a smidgen of avocado all wrapped in a light soy paper, the crab was a tad dry and I wasn't a fan of the soy paper. Spicy Scallop Hand Roll ($9.50): Plenty of seasoned tiny scallop balls with barely a hint of spiciness and rice wrapped in seaweed, I enjoyed it but it needed more heat https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Yqf_HjuY_iy-qGMfhICPwg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! 6pc Popper Cut Roll ($11.95): A deep-fried roll of spicy tuna, jalapeño, and cream cheese, this sushi-fied American bar food was surprisingly yummy along with its big portion size which made up for the only 6 pieces https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=fmdEMGADRsKdczBWv9NqeA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. 8pc Rock N Roll Cut Roll ($14.95): Spicy California roll topped with spicy albacore, crispy onions, and a garlic ponzu sauce, this was a lovely roll with good portion size and noticeable spiciness this time https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=JfQNzxjvilt8VwntrBpVJQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. 8pc Baja Fresh Cut Roll ($16.95): Yellowtail, jalapeño, spicy tuna, cilantro, and avocado, this Mexican-inspired roll was magnificent and full of spiciness https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=OLLb45OBM4ET37A2EpEgog&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. SERVICE Immediately greeted by both a gentleman behind the bar order counter and a hostess, we asked to sit outside on the front patio, we ordered beer which came out quickly along with two glasses of water, and were given a quick paper menu to place our order https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=qCqkK8wwrXAffrEMbeaYLg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. All the food came out at the same time a little more than 10 minutes later. After that, we were good to go until it was time for the check. Our water glasses were filled up a couple times and all was good - arigato! PARKING (FREE) They shared a medium-sized lot with a variety of small businesses in addition to separate lots for McDonalds and CVS, respectively (park in these two lots at your own risk). Otherwise, there seemed to be plenty of spots along the main drags of Verdugo and Olive Aves. - nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A snug floorplan inside with a handful of booths and tables along one wall and front of house while the rest of the space was used for the order counter bar where you watched the chefs do their work. Minimal decorations covered the walls. As for the exterior, there were also a handful of tables/chairs. Inside, minimal natural lighting came through the covered & tinted front glass windows and door while dim electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. Outside, there was plenty of natural lighting. There was one muted TV while pop music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=qqG9jEeV5s_Rrvo93OoM8Q&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Sushi Dake was a rousing success and would definitely return! The food was great, the prices affordable, menu selection nicely varied, and the service was sufficient enough. Generally speaking, I couldn't find any serious issues. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $112.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS read more

It's an unexpected gem. Considering the neighborhood- and the affordable price, it really can't get much better than this. The food is good (the rolls, the teriyaki dinners, the tempuras- all of it). I see a lot of regulars come in, enjoy a nice, easy dinner and a drink - hang out and leave. I can tell there's history there. I've sat at the bar by myself a few times just to have an easy meal and be on my merry way. I'll probably continue doing so. read more

This place is amazing!! Great service, clean and fresh food.. I went to here with my family .. everyone loved here food.

I've always enjoyed Sushi Dake. Our favorites are Dodger hall and the burrito. Their hours are a bit sporadic and after Covid the dodger ball is half the size. I'm thinking with all the good costs going up it has really impacted this place. The burrito was big enough to counter the size of the ball so we left pretty happy. The service is always great. I will continue to eat here. read more

I took my girlfriend there on a date a few nights ago. The staff were very nice and warm, genuinely were fun people to be around. Cozy down home atmosphere, great for date night. The chef was very personable, very clearly enjoys his work, and talked with us about sushi, shared his recommendations. The fish was very very fresh, the oysters were huge and delicious. I tried the uni that night, which you know can be bad if it's not extremely fresh, but it was amazing. 10/10, favorite sushi spot in Burbank. read more

Sushi Dake is a unassuming location with surprisingly high quality food! The sushi is fresh. The menu has a great selection and you check the boxes of what you want. The chef is in view and talks to you. It is a great casual place with great sushi. It is a small location so you need to be comfortable with seating being tight. I recommend Sushi Dake. read more

It was so delicious and nice place. I always go there and always good. Also good services.

Parking: Large open lot in the plaza where Sushi Dake is. Food: Pretty wide variety of speciality and basic rolls. Price point is on the more affordable side, in my experience of eating at sushi places. Most specialty rolls were average $15 and basic rolls were average $8. Ambiance/Service: Well decorated, clean, and cozy! Was seated super quickly around 8pm and ordering process was quite easy (write on a slip of paper). Servers were so quick and kind to answer questions about the menu items. read more

The food is always good the times I've been there. Last night I saw something I wish I hadn't. As I was eating, I looked up and noticed one of the chef's cleaning his nose with a napkin sticking his fingers in his nose (again with a napkin but still) so I was waiting for him to go wash his hands. But no he put his napkin back in his pocket and continued handling the fish. That is so unsanitary. It was very disappointing. read more

Oh Sushi Dake, I have missed you! I hadn't been to Sushi Dake since pre-COVID quarantine, but after a number of unsatisfying sushi deliveries in my area, I finally decided enough was enough and to get take out since I was in the area. I was told that it would be 30 minutes; when I got there I still had over 10-15 minutes until I was to pick up so I parked right in front and sat in my car. A lady who worked there came out after a few minutes and after getting my name, she told me my order was ready. It was so quick! Went inside to pay and collect my food. Everyone working inside was wearing masks, there were glass partitions at the front where the register was, and they also had hand sanitizer available. Got a spicy tuna roll with avocado, the Dragon Roll and the Sexy Roll. All 3 were so delicious and oh-so-satisfying (forget you, sushi delivery by me!). They do have limited times at the moment and are only open for dinner (Mon-Sat 5-9pm). I'll definitely be getting more take out/pick up from them more often! read more

My wife and I have been going to Dake regularly ever since we moved to Burbank in 2019. This unassuming restaurant in a small Burbank strip mall is home to our absolute favorite local sushi, where talented chefs and thoughtful staff serve fresh, delicious fish in all of your favorite varieties. Their nigiri is fantastic, and their rolls are creative and beautiful. The quality of the sushi at Dake is especially shocking at its price point and we feel very lucky to live so close to such a wonderful (and affordable) local sushi place. If you're looking for high quality sushi at a casual location that won't break the bank, I highly recommend you check out Sushi Dake. read more

Wow! Great! we stumbled on this find yesterday while shopping in Burbank. First off location nondescript in shopping mall right next to a massage parlor. Can't be that bad, right? Service for us was just fine tonight. My daughter ordered the eel and avocado roll and loved it so much she ordered a second. I had toro sushi (incredible) and the fatty sashimi 9 piece (yellowtail, albacore tuna, salmon) bellies. This was amazing. Edamame, miso soup and oh yes, a blue crab roll (very tasty) washed down with a large Kirin light. Great meal, fresh well picked fish, worth coming to for some great sushi. read more

A local sushi favorite! Great selection, the food is delicious, and the quality is consistent. It's small and cozy inside, with some outdoor seating available. Recommendations: -Lunch or dinner combo - chicken teriyaki with CA roll or tempura (mixed - shrimp and vegetables). It comes with a scoop of steamed rice and a side salad. -Lobster roll Call ahead for takeout as it can get busy. Order is usually ready within 15min. The staff is friendly and always welcoming. read more

Best sushi place in town. Super kind manager. Really amazing service. High quality food. Ambiance is incredible.

I love this place because it's convenient to home, I don't have to drive to downtown Burbank to my other favorite Japanese restaurant. Ample parking. The place is only small so it gets packed fast. The staff is Korean - and there's nothing wrong with that. They are friendly, fast, and serves fresh sushi. One less star for the price. I think $12 per roll is a little high - but this is just me. Price is relative. read more

Pre-pandemic I'd be here almost once a week. Their sushi is fresh every time and we enjoy trying out new rolls! Crunch roll, Hawaiian roll, dynamite roll are some of our favorite fancy rolls but getting just normal sashimi is also delicious. Love the salmon, yellowtail and tuna. And since we came in during Covid-times just an update on their safety precautions... we sat inside (the only ones) and the entire staff was wearing a mask the entire time. They also had the front and back doors open so there was great airflow even inside. We unmasked to eat but since we were the only ones and everyone else was masked we felt pretty safe! Can't wait to come back! It felt so good to see familiar faces (they remembered us) and eat our favorite dishes! read more
