Love this place! Awesome after an IKEA shopping visit. Open late and the Mongolian beef, garlic noddles and chow fun are the best! The pear lychee martini is also my favorite! Yum! Highly recommend! The Valencia location also awesome! read more

I decided to give Wokano another try and omg, that a HUGE mistake! It was so dirty on the floor near the bar where we were sitting. I looked down and I found something horrifying. I wish I took a picture of it but I ran out too fast to do that. I left my food and ran for the hills. read more

First time at this location: Hamachi Good size pieces, sauce was good, doesn't include radish and comes with ginger paste Spicy crab tempura roll $18 Not fair for the price at all - quite surprised this was priced so high, a California roll has more ingredients than this roll. Eel avocado roll $13.50 For the price I felt it was fair - kind of a lot of rice than what I'm used to on a roll Ambiance is dark - has upbeat house music playing which changes the energy and makes it more lively **Happy hour M-F ENDS AT 6PM Service: we walked in and ordered at the front for take out since happy hour had ended earlier than we saw the times posted online *sadface* Someone walked in as we were looking at the menu - seemed to know the workers. We were ready to order and were standing there for awhile. There were 3 people at the desk and it was awkward - they were all engaged with the one guest and kept looking at us then continued talking. One of them was not as engaged and kept looking at us but didn't offer to take our order for like 5 minutes of the back and forth awkward stare lol maybe he was new. But he eventually took our order. Overall it was an awkward situation and probably wouldn't return. read more

YIKES. wokca-NO!!!!! What on earth happened to this location. Terrible service, pathetic food. See photo below of Chicken Fried Rice with BITS, CRUMBS of chicken. I go to the Valencia location often and I used to come to the Burbank location a lot. I haven't been here in a while and I'm glad I haven't. You'll find more protein in fast food Chinese dishes and better service. AVOID THIS LOCATION! read more

Wokcano - Chicken Fried Rice without the chicken - Sushi Bars Near Me - Burbank, California

Came in on a Thursday afternoon for lunch with a couple of coworkers. It was a pleasant experience. Good was good, service was good. We sat ourselves near the bar area. Please note their booths and tables mostly seem to be very tall, I'm sure they had more accessible seating options in the main dining room, but I didnt see from where we were sitting. I ordered the lunch time Mongolian beef with white rice, and my coworkers both ordered the kung pao chicken. It was good and for a sit down restaurant, the prices weren't horrible, keep in mind we did order from the lunch time menu. The food came out fairly quickly, first with the salad starter that comes with the lunch special. Not sure how often I will be back, but I did enjoy my experience. read more

Family Dinner Value Meal for 2 was a great combo. We got the Mongolian beef and Walnut shrimp. Egg rolls were light and tasty. Everything is carefully packaged for delivery to avoid spilling or broken bottles. Fresh vegetables with every dish. Will definitely order again. read more

Wokcano - Family Dinner Value Meal for 2: Mongolian beef & Walnut shrimp. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Burbank, California

*Delayed post from Jan '25 Stopped here for a late night bite around 11pm since most restaurants are closed by then in Downtown Burbank. The decor gave me Cheesecake Factory vibes and the quality of food was about the same: consistently okay and satisfies everyone's cravings with a large menu, but not a place I'd take someone to impress them. It's slightly above mediocre. Our server was very cheery and our food came out quickly, with quite large portions. Not sure I'll personally stop by again since there's nothing special about their meals, but I see the appeal for families and large groups. It's affordable and has a decent atmosphere, but don't expect to have the best Chinese food of your life. read more

Wokcano - Chow Fun (with Raw meat) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Burbank, California

First time for me at this location. All my years in Burbank and I have never been to Wokcano. The service was excellent. The staff was on it! The rice was delicious. The orange chicken was not sweet which was different than other orange chicken dishes I have had in the past. The beef and broccoli had lots of meat which was large size portions. The ambiance was nice and quiet which is nice. read more

Wish I checked Yelp reviews before ordering. The eel was so cold and jiggly (and eel definitely shouldn't jiggle). The sushi didn't taste fresh and was low quality. I ended up throwing everything away. Definitely won't be back. read more

We're from the Central Valley but always make a stop here when we can. We discovered it during COVID and the service was always impeccable. The inside of the restaurant is dimly lit and they always have good music playing. The food is always why I keep coming back. Portions are a good size. The miso has great flavor but could be a little hotter, or warm up the bowl prior to serving to keep it warm. Just a suggestion. ‍ read more

Honestly, I can't see myself coming back here, but it wasn't completely terrible. We came here with a party of 9 on a Friday night without a reservation, and thankfully they were able to accommodate us and helped set up a large table for us to sit together. The service overall was fine and it's nice that they're open relatively late. The food, however, left a quite a bit to be desired. My party actually warned me to not order sushi since it wasn't good, and unfortunately, I can see why. The rice was hard and seemed like it has been sitting out all day. I looked over at the other patrons eating and it also seemed like practically no one orders the sushi here. Maybe it causes a domino effect because their rice ends getting old from sitting out? Who knows. The mapo tofu was really bland and really shouldn't be called mapo tofu at all. It tasted like there was no meat in the sauce and the tofu was bland with what appeared to be some starchy slurry. Easily the worst mapo tofu I've ever had. It wasn't all completely terrible though - there were a couple dishes that tasted okay. The beef pepper tenderloin was actually pretty good - packed with flavor and tender, definitely something I'd order again if I had to come back. The fried calamari is cooked Chinese style and tasted alright, but was incredibly salty and really wanted to be paired with rice. We ordered bowls of rice and... well, surprise, it was also hard, old rice. The final nail in the coffin was that the meal wasn't even cheap. There's definitely a niche for American-Chinese food - PF Changs, Panda Express, so on. We ended up spending 26 dollars per person and the entire table was still hungry. Please do better Wokcano. There's no excuse for serving hard rice especially when it's not complimentary. read more

Been here twice and I love it. Atmosphere is great the crab wontons are a must here. The chicken fried rice delicious. The sushi is a bit too fishy for me but overall this place is great. read more

I've been to this location a couple times now. It's pretty good. They're pretty sufficient with their service, especially when it's not super crowded. They have large tables available, booth seating, high tables, and the bar. Happy hour is available. Their food is good. Their honey walnut shrimp & garlic noodles are the best! We had an issue with one of the drinks at first, but it was resolved and everything was good. A while back a friend of mine had his bday here, and we brought him a cake, and they let us keep it in their refrigerator until we were ready to sing happy bday. read more

Great happy hour food, drinks and atmosphere, no loud music. if you want to chat, it's a good spot

I typically go for dinner or happy hour but this time tried lunch at the Burbank location. We had the lunch menu and everything was under $20 and comes with a big bowl of salad with Japanese dressing (my favorite), cup of rice and big bowl of the fish filet and asparagus which I had for dinner as well for the servings were big. My friend had the honey garlic shrimp which she said was delicious also. Not a big lunch crowd - service was solid. I just hope this one doesn't close like the Gordon Biersch across the street for I enjoy Wokcano's dishes - never been disappointed whether I order sushi or cooked dishes in any location. Plenty of 2 hour public parking and also street parking. read more

Wokcano - January 2025 menu - Sushi Bars Near Me - Burbank, California

I used to like this place, but lately it's been hit or miss (mostly miss). Recently, I had friends coming over and decided to place a pickup order from Wokano. Imagine my surprise when I saw a $20 "packing fee" on the bill. When I asked about it, I was told that because my order was big, I was being charged extra. How generous. Instead of appreciating a $318.54 order or even pretending to value the business, they decided to penalize it. Lesson learned. Next time, I'll happily spend my money elsewhere, far away from this mediocre restaurant. Farewell, Wokano. read more

Wokcano - The bill - Sushi Bars Near Me - Burbank, California

I took my daughter and her friends out to Wokcano to celebrate her birthday. It's a fun place to celebrate, nicely decorated with a chill vibe, and the service was great, but unfortunately, the food was mediocre at best. My daughter was disappointed with her spicy tuna roll, I was disappointed with my peacock roll, and the pad thai was almost sickeningly sweet. The one food item that everyone agree was delicious was the orange tofu. It was crispy on the outside and the tofu melted in your mouth when you bit into it. I'm not sure if I would go back again when there are so many other great restaurants in the area. read more

I ordered from Grubhub, garlic noodles and California roll. California roll is good a little pricey, but tasty. Garlic noodles really? are you sure there's garlic in it.? I didn't taste any garlic whatsoever so disappointing. I've had the best garlic noodles in San Francisco and this is nothing like it. Come on chef I know you can do better than that.!! GrubHub delivered my order on time and it was still hot. Good job GrubHub. read more

Shit food. Disgusting more so. Noodles taste like griddle. Sushi is fishy. Don't waste your time or your money. Let me emphasize. Food is nahhhhhh. Had to add soy sauce to my beef lo me-in aka noodles burnt on previous griddle. I'll never ever come back read more

I've been to other Wokcano locations before and this one was just as nice on the inside. There wasn't too much parking in the area but it was not too bad during lunch. I ate at the bar it was not too busy but there were only a few people taking orders so it did take a little longer for me to order. The food came out in a decent amount of time but I needed to go but the food had bold flavor the chicken was thin so a little dry but still good. The staff was very nice and helpful it just took a little longer than I felt with that amount of people eating in. read more

The food is always amazing at any Wokcano I have been in. I recommend the honey walnut shrimp and I enjoy any roll with shrimp or tuna. The ambiance is huge for this location and so spacious. The only thing that did lack in this location was the service. How can one feel when a server asks you every other minute if you are ready to order. Excuse you sir, I just sat let me settle down and look at the menu and then I may let you know. I don't know if it was because he assumed I can't afford my dinner or any other thoughts he may have had. I did not take pictures of my dinner because that's how annoyed and bothered I was. Anyways I still tip the way I was supposed to tip because at the end of the day because of one bad server the rest of the servers who were attentive of me, mind you, people of color were super excited to attend to me. Wokcano Burbank do better. I have had better experiences at Downtown Wokcano, I recommend going there ya'll. Take your service where you are wanted which is at Downtown Wokcano. read more

I have always loved Wokcano and I'm not the hugest fan of Chinese food. This was my first time at the Burbank location. We came in with a party of 6 on a Saturday at 4pm, before the dinner rush started. We ordered a ton of food and loved everything! The portions are shareable and pretty large, I was sooo suprised we finished everything! Starters: We had the garden salad with ginger dressing, which is their signature hosue salad and one of my favorite salads ever! Its so simple but the crispy wontons and creamy sweet ginger dressing is incredible. We also has steamed chicken dumplings, which were good, the spicy tuna crispy rice, which you can never go wrong with, spicy garlic edamame, and albacore sashimi with crispy onions which was delicious!! Loved the sauce and the albacore was good quality. Entrees: I love the garlic noodles with parmesan here, they are some of my favorite to ever exist. We got 2 of those! I also love the double kung pao which comes with chicken and shrimp. Always a must order. We also had orange chicken which was really good quality, it is actual juicy chicken breast inside, it's not all fried coating, its very lightly coated but still has that crunch and the sauce is perfect. It was my first time trying the Korean short ribs, the flavor was yummy but these had a lot of fat on them. They were still really good! We also had chicken fried rice which is always a hit and always delish! If you order any of these entrees as a "DINNER" +$5 you get a starter salad, soup and a bowl of rice. Such a great deal! Wokcano also has a great happy hour and lunch menu for very affordable pricing! read more

I mean it's alright The service is absolutely amazing Food is just average at best Amazing soft product But their hard product is average at best The vibe is sooooo outdated I'm trying my best to be more positive I've gone 3 times and all have been average The three stars are all because of the staff they were amazing read more

really like this place! accidentally went during happy hour and got a bunch of their appetizers and all were delicious! The place was bumping for an early Friday dinner and the server was incredible. She had more drinks and food on our table before we even had the chance to ask. The restaurant is a little dated on the interior and could use a facelift, but during a dark evening, you can't really tell. We went back during a day off (Wednesday) and during happy hour again, and the place was EMPTY. The vibes were very different than the first experience and they were exclusively playing 90s slow jams very loudly for us and the single other occupied table in the place. All in all, it was tasty and good service again, so will be going back -- just maybe on the weekend. read more

We used to love ordering from here but it appears something has changed. We usually order the family dinner on Door Dash and the food came hot and delicious but now it's arriving with a gelatinous film on top and the chicken is soggy like it's been sitting out for hours. Maybe it's better if you sit inside the restaurant, but the ordering experience has become so bad we won't be ordering from here again read more

I know this place is known for their happy hour and sushi, BUT have you tried the Vegan Kung Pao Chicken??? It's my favorite dish that I order every time I'm here, because who else will do Kung Pao properly? I just wanted to spread the word because if you love vegan chicken, that is perfectly juicy and seasoned to perfection, this is for you! I would say the SPICE level is a 8/10 if you suck at spicy food, but a 5/10 if you love spicy food. I also always get a side of rice to balance the whole meal, so go crazy!You're welcome. read more

I used to like this place but food quality has drastically gone down over the years. Service is good and the restaurant is clean but sushi is noooot good at all. Hard rice and low quality salmon and tuna. If you have to dip your rolls in a lot of spicy mayo and eel sauce to get some flavor, then that's not good sushi. Also don't get me started on takeout orders. Truffle salmon had paper thin slices of salmon which they cut it in one inch pieces where it doesn't even cover the sushi roll. Rice is hard and not freshly made. Why are you charging $20 for this? Look at what they advertise vs what you get.. read more

My second time going to a Wokcano and I had to explore more of the menu because the first time was so good. Love Boat: The main event of the night. This is perfect if you're craving sushi and it can feed 2-3 people guaranteed. I liked that they had every option: nigiri, rolls, sashimi, and a hand roll. Something for everyone. Black Pepper Beef Mignon: How was this so good? The beef was tender and coated in flavor while the onions were still crisp. The combination of the two was delicious and made it my favorite dish of the night. Honey Walnut Shrimp: Arguably the next best dish of the night. I got this because of its popularity and the sweet crispiness made it worth the hype. Crab Wontons: I can't help but order this every time I see it on the menu and it didn't disappoint. It came out hot and crispy with a creamy filling that was balanced out by the sweet chili sauce. Singapore Style Noodles: The curry flavor was prominent and well-salted. I had a bad experience with this dish before but this made me change my mind. Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice: An iconic appetizer that you can't go wrong with. The rice was a thin layer so it was extra crispy and they put a generous dollop of mayonnaise along with avocado. Spicy Garlic Eggplant: We got a veggie appetizer to add a little health into our meal. While it was juicy, it was way too saucy for my liking. The service was good and our food came out fairly quickly. I loved the interior since there was a variety of seating and the decoration was very modern. Bonus points for the free parking in the structure nearby. read more

Decent Asian fusion restaurant with delicious dishes from many Asian countries with a note that none of them were original. To put it short as an Asian, it's delicious but it's heavily fusion. My favorite dish is Pad Thai. It doesn't taste like Pad Thai in Thailand (I'm Thai) but it's a good fried noodle dish. Garlic shrimp is good too but it doesn't taste like garlic shrimp in Chinese restaurant in SGV for example. Sushi love boat is No.1 that the server recommend to me. Very photogenic! It's for 2 people but the size can properly feed 3x of me. Unfortunately, sashimi on the day I went was not fresh (I can feel the smell), otherwise it would have made my favorite dish of the day. read more
