Supermarket quality frozen fish at fresh prices.... Here's a clue, if the menu is the same with maybe a few dozen items year round it's probably not fresh ... Mediocre and overpriced at best. Surprised they were open so long. read more

High hopes for Yakumi. However, after a lunch visit, I was left disappointed. How sushi rice is served is one of the most important foundations of Japanese sushi culture. The rice served during a recent visit here was cold. Cold to the touch. I won't speculate as to why it happened and I should have mentioned something but chose not to as the fish was fine. Service was excellent. The dining area, clean and modern. I can't comment on the patio area as I didn't check it out. I liked everything about Yakumi however, I can't get past the cold rice. I'm not a fan of supermarket sushi as it's different. If you are, then you may like Yakumi. Or, don't be quiet like me and speak up. Maybe I just got cold rice because I was there pretty much right at opening. Letting it sit for a little while helped but my first impression was already set. read more

DineLA Week comes around only twice a year. Once in the winter (January/February) and once in the summer (July/August). If nothing else, I always make an effort to squeeze in at least one new restaurant in their lineup. For one, I get to sample what each restaurant considers to be their most popular menu items or exclusive dishes. Also, it's often a tasting menu that offers a little bit more. More like a foodie's bonus prize, just for participating. Yakumi looked good this time around. Probably because I'd eat sushi any day/every day, if I could. And I was able to find a quick prix fixe style sushi solution without roshambeau'ing with myself for hours, deciding on what to eat. YAKUMI BOX + THE DineLA MENU On the regular menu, the Yakima Box is $29 and no drink's included. During DineLA week, this filling lunch choice was just $25 and came with a shōchū cocktail as a refreshing bonus. It included: + Sunomono or seaweed salad + 1 piece of tuna sushi + 2 pieces each of yellowtail, salmon, and albacore topped with fried shallots (Note: It's not the fresh green scallions with ponzu sauce recipe) + A choice of 2 classic rolls like 2-piece baked crab roll, or 4-pieces of yellowtail jalapeño, spicy tuna, spicy salmon, avocado, and California roll (Note: The crab roll was buttery and tasty; the spicy tuna was standard) + My bonus drink: Mango Lychee Shochu The fish was fresh, the mango lychee cocktail was refreshing. Both were on the lighter side and pleasant for a lunchtime meal. INDOOR SEATING + OUTDOOR PATIO Sit inside or outside? To settle the debate, I did both while waiting for my lunch date to arrive. The warm, sunny patio was lovely, but there are only a few spots in the shade during certain times of the day, even with the awning drawn. Indoors, it's quaint and mirrors the koi fish artwork that graces the corner of the restaurant's exterior. It adds an authentic seafood-centric, Japanese charm to the ambiance. Service was prompt, although it wasn't a very busy time. Just across the street at Alfred Coffee, however, the second wave of a caffeine rush hour--needing their daily fix--rolled by as we paid. For me, on the other hand, the light shōchū buzz and pleasant stroll to my car was a foodie's bonus I'd come back for again. read more

Visited this place while working close by and probably won't be back. While the service was great and the atmosphere is good for having a good lunch, sushi was a bit lackluster to the taste I'm used to for good sushi restaurant. While the pictures make the food look good, it was just average. The food was delivered quickly and again the service was great. But if I'm looking for good sushi will need to drive a bit further to get what I want. read more

Have been coming here for the past 3 years and the food is always delicious and the service is friendly, however, the service has been very slow each time, even when they aren't busy. They seem to always be understaffed, so be prepared to wait if you come here. Pro tip: get the OASIS AND SUNSET ROLLS read more

Service was good. Checked in the perfect amount. Food was okay - not standout. Edamame and miso were relatively flavorless. Spicy tuna crispy rice is why this gets 4 stars over 3. Lots of tuna. Freshly crisped rice. My friend enjoyed their lunch box but the imitation crab on the California roll seemed right from a supermarket. read more

I don't know where to begin... stay away, stay far away. This is not real sushi, this is mediocre Americanized scam. From ordering a Togo box a couple years ago to now, it's a completely different experience in taste, quality, and experience. The location is fantastic, but the food is horrendous and I hate to say that the service is even worse. We had such an awful server that we didn't even leave a tip (I don't think I've ever don't that before). I don't know if they were on drugs, having a bad day, or just incompetent. I really wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt and we were trying to be nice, but my patience was being tested and I couldn't wait to get out of there. Even if someone took you to eat here for free, do yourselves a favor and enjoy a meal anywhere else than here. I wish I knew someone who has been here before that could have given me that advice. I don't like leaving reviews like this but I need to warn other people the way I wish I was warned. read more

As a dine LA deal this one is really good!! They give you a ton of food and its so fun to have a bento box with all different things going on. My favorite was the spicy salmon and the salmon nigiri!! The fish was good. The drink is slightly on the sweeter side so i couldnt drink it. The service was great and the food came out at a great time. Ambience is very nice if you sit outside with the heaters and enjoy the night air. Lovely. Thanks Yakumi! read more

We decided to check out Yakumi during Dine LA week and were so glad we did! For just $25, you get an impressive set: 2 pieces each of yellowtail, salmon, and albacore sushi, plus 1 piece of tuna sushi. It also comes with cucumber salad, edamame, and your choice of two rolls. I chose the baked crab and classic salmon rolls. And to top it off, a mango lychee cocktail is included! Such a tasty and complete meal. You order at the counter, and they bring the food to your table. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, but be aware they only have about four parking spots, so you may need to find street parking, which take a bit of patience during lunch hours. Service was quick and friendly. The server even offered a side of truffle soy sauce, which paired deliciously with the sushi. My husband ordered the Yakumi Roll, Crunchy Roll, and a side of albacore, and we both left full and happy. We'll definitely be back again soon! read more

I went for the DineLA dinner special which was $25 +tax/tip. I'm pretty sure this is just the Classic Yakumi Box with a cocktail. You got to choose 1 starter and any 2 classic rolls, and you also got a variety of nigiri and a cocktail. If you don't drink, you can substitute the cocktail for a mocktail. Overall, the food was good. The fish quality was great for the price, and I really liked the baked crab roll. The only thing I was not a fan of was the cucumber sunomono salad which was overly salty. There was ample seating both indoors and outdoors, and it was pretty easy to find street parking nearby. I know some people complained about slow service, but I didn't feel like I waited too long. However, I went for a late dinner, so there weren't as many people dining in. I could envision service being slower earlier in the night since there didn't seem to be very many workers. Yakumi is a nice casual sushi spot that I could see myself coming back to if I'm in the area. I would recommend it for people looking for something nice but not too fancy. read more

Really glad to discover this place through Dine LA! It was an incredible deal. Got 4 pieces from 2 different roles, 4 different single piece of nagiri, edemame, cucumber salad and a cocktail all for $25. I thought the sushi was very fresh. I gave it 4.srwrs due to slow service and there weren't a lot of people so not sure why. Parking was also a bit of a pain but if you go a couple blocks there are 2 hour free spots. read more

My friends and I came for DineLA when their Yakumi box for 25 dollars and it was so worth it! The service is quick, simple, and easy. We also got to their lychee mango cocktail which was so good we couldn't even taste the alcohol. I love how customizable the box is with the amount of rolls there is to choose from. I had their salmon soy truffle, yellowtail jalapeno, albacore, spicy salmon roll, spicy tuna roll, and baked crab roll. The salmon with soy truffle was definitely my favorite. Their salmon quality was great! My next favorite piece was the yellowtail jalapeño! The albacore was also melt in your mouth. Overall, I was truly impressed by the quality and quantity for the price. I will definitely be back if I'm craving sushi! read more

I came here for lunch for the DineLA menu. It was quiet at the start of opening, but we were helped right away. You order at the counter with the menu above on screens, then you are given a number for the table. It came with edamame and miso soup, sushi, and 2 rolls of your choice. The sushi is yellowtail, salmon, albacore, & shrimp. I picked spicy tuna and yellowtail jalapeño for my rolls. The sushi has great flavor and the whole thing was the perfect amount for lunch. The entire plating of the food is aesthetically pleasing. They have indoor seating & outdoor seating that is dog friendly. Parking- street parking read more

This place is pretty laidback, minimalistic, but still a great time with good food. I came for DineLA and really liked the menu and drinks. The lychee martini was quite delish, and the fish was pretty fresh. Service was a little slow, as they seemed understaffed, but we didn't mind. There were only a few tables when we came, but it filled up by the time we left. Highly recommend the nigiri and spicy tuna crispy rice. There's seating inside and out. Not the best place for large groups. Take your chances with parking in the neighborhood and don't forget to carefully read the street signs and pay your meter. read more

We got the dine LA special which was a great deal, and they were able to make the included drink a mocktail. The fish tasted fresh and I enjoyed the seaweed salad. The baked crab roll seemed like it was partially imitation crab, I couldn't tell. The biggest issue was slow service. The first drink orders were quick but everything after that took forever. And it was really difficult to flag down servers. Maybe they were understaffed. I would have expected fresh sushi to have also been a faster turn around. We got there at 6, and got our food at 6:50. I don't think we were able to get our food order in until 6:15 or so. I'm not sure if I would go back because of the slow service. read more

The crispy specialty roll was absolutely amazing -- we ended up getting both specialty rolls and loved every bite. The lychee mango cocktail was exceptional, perfectly balanced and refreshing. Huge shoutout to the team for letting us still order drinks at happy hour prices since we sat before 6pm -- such a great surprise and made the experience even better. The vibes are so chill, and the location is right in the hub of Burbank -- super convenient. Thank you so much to Tim and Taylin -- y'all were amazing. We will be BACKKKKK! Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu next time. read more

I ordered take out from here tonight & was genuinely blown away. I get the ick pretty easily from raw fish if it isn't top quality - and this was fantastic. The fish was extremely buttery and fresh.

Stopped in last week after seeing their reviews. They offer a few parking spots on site or street parking. Space is small but cozy with inside and patio covered seating. Service was very friendly and we opted to try their combination boxes and they were well worth it. For the amount of sushi you get along with a choice of salad and two rolls- delicious and great to try so many items at once. We also tried out their watermelon margarita and sparkling lychee cocktails and spicy tuna on crispy rice. Definitely a must try, so filling and delicious! read more

Yakumi is a great casual sushi spot. The sushi tastes fresh; the presentation is lovely; the restaurant aesthetic is appealing. We ordered the classic sushi combo, which comes with five pieces of sushi, two cut rolls (your choice), edamame, and your choice of salad. I went with spicy tuna and spicy salmon for the cut rolls and seaweed salad. The portion size was plenty, the quality was worth what we paid ($25 per combo), and I loved the sophisticated tray plating. We had Sapporos with our meal, but they have sake cocktails that we'll try next time. My only nit to pick is having to order at a counter before being seated (which I did know about beforehand, so I decided what I wanted before we went). Peering up at an overhead menu whilst a cashier stares at you adds an unpleasant "fast food" feel to a dining experience. Despite that, the Yakumi cashiers and food runners were friendly and efficient. read more

If you're looking for a good sushi spot in Burbank, Yakumi Sushi is great. The vibe here is relaxed and cool. The decor is interesting and abstract with fishtail art cascading down the walls. I ordered the classic combination. The sushi was delicious. I loved the truffle soy sauce dipping oil you can ask for on the side. It already comes coated on the salmon but it also tastes great with every piece of sushi in my opinion. I even put a dash of it into my miso soup, and it was soy un-bowl-ievable! Hehe. The employees at Yakumi Sushi were SUPER nice and helpful. Whenever we needed anything, we were met with smiles and patience with literally every member of the staff. So A+ for great customer service all around! Definitely want to come back for Happy Hour (3 pm to 6pm) where rolls are 20% off and the sake is $5. I already am planning on when I can return next week. So, if you're in Burbank and have a hankering for sushi, definitely think about giving Yakumi Sushi a try! read more

Yakumi is one of my go-to sushi spots in the valley! Their sushi always tastes extremely fresh, service is very fast and friendly, and there's always plenty of seating inside and outside. I got the Yakumi box with seaweed salad, spicy salmon roll, and baked crab roll. I also got an order of Hanabi (spicy tuna with crispy rice). The highlights of the meal are definitely the baked crab hand roll and the salmon nigiri with truffle soy sauce. Insider tip: ask to add crispy onions in the baked crab roll! I've been to Yakumi several times, this most recent visit the rice didn't stick very well to the salmon roll, as well as the pieces of nigiri. The rice kept separating when dipped in soy sauce, however it still was tasty. Yakumi is a great choice for a casual yet delicious sushi spot. read more

Met with a friend to have lunch on a rainy Sunday, which meant attentive service and no issues with parking. Menu is basic and straightforward with the usual tuna, salmon, yellowtail, albacore, etc. You won't find an endless combo of rolls or different types of seafood like eel or sea urchin.

Yakumi Sushi - Burbank's Bite-Sized Gem Tucked into Riverside Drive, Yakumi is the kind of fast-casual sushi spot that punches way above its weight. The Studio Roll Box was a standout--crunchy, spicy, and topped with a sauce that deserves its own fan club. I kicked things off with the off-menu Sunset Roll, which was so light and refreshing I ordered it twice. Bonus points for the cucumber and seaweed salad sides that added a crisp contrast. The vibe? Chill and welcoming, with a sleek indoor space and a patio that glows at night. Service was warm and efficient--Steven, the manager, even gave us the lowdown on specials. Pro tip: If you're on a lunch break, their "To Go" window is a lifesaver. Fresh fish, thoughtful combos, and a dash of neighborhood charm--Yakumi's got it all. I'll definitely be back, maybe next time with my camera rolling and the customer service is top notch in every way da'Von and Taylin are amazing at what they do read more
