    The sushi was fresh. It was nice and quiet even though there was a couple of guests. We ordered the food at the counter, to find out later that we could have sat down at the table and to order our food. But over all the service was great. The staff making the food made the food very presentable.

    Really loved this place. The staff were really nice and helpful when it came to ordering. Also like that there is indoor and outdoor seating. The prices are really good too. My favorite was the Dragon roll, it was so good! The California roll and miso soup were good too. Will definitely be back to try their bento boxes.

    Bento Box - Chicken Teriyaki w/ Shrimp Tempura

    Hidden gem! Really solid spot in the neighborhood. I ordered the chicken teriyaki with shrimp tempura bento box and everything was on point. The chicken was flavorful, the tempura was crispy, and the portions were generous. Also tried the rainbow roll, which was super fresh and well put together. Definitely coming back.

    Lunch special

    I wanted to try this little Japanese restaurant because it's closed on Sundays! So my friend and I went for lunch on a Monday. We were seated right away. You order & pay at the counter and they bring the food out. We each got the lunch special bento boxes which included teriyaki chicken, a little California roll, a little cucumber roll, and tempura shrimp, plus a lettuce salad, a cabbage salad and a bean sprout salad. It was all good.

    Stopped by Emon during my Burbank Visit. Enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and wallet friendly prices. Victor's sushi roll is awesome. I love unagi so that Plate was amazing. Free hot tea + refills - No other place I know does this. Prices are great, food tastes very good. Worth a stop if your in the area. Owner is there cranking out each sushi dish. Service is kind and fast. Definitely stopping by again

    I stopped by EMON in Glendale for lunch today, and it turned into one of those unexpectedly impressive meals that remind you why community‑driven restaurants deserve the spotlight. This Japanese‑style gem delivers thoughtful flavors, warm hospitality, and a level of care that stands out in the neighborhood. I ordered the weekly bento box special, and it was outstanding from top to bottom. The chicken was tender and perfectly seasoned, the salmon sushi tasted clean and fresh, and the salad and bonchon‑style sides added balance and texture without feeling like filler. Even the tea and water service was attentive and well‑timed -- the kind of detail that quietly elevates the entire experience. The atmosphere inside EMON is warm, spotless, and inviting. It's the type of space where you immediately feel comfortable settling in. Clean lines, calm energy, and a sense of pride in the environment make it easy to enjoy your meal without distraction. A major highlight of my visit was Sung, the manager. He was extremely polite, courteous, and genuinely knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations were thoughtful, and he helped guide me toward the bento special -- a choice I'm grateful for. Beyond great service, Sung's connection to the community is unmistakable. I watched him greet guests by name, check in with regulars, and engage with people in a way that shows EMON isn't just a restaurant; it's a neighborhood touchpoint. Leadership like that is rare, and it shows in the atmosphere and the consistency of the service. Parking -- often a challenge in Glendale -- was surprisingly easy here. There's plenty of parking available, and the location is convenient without the usual congestion, making EMON an ideal stop for lunch or dinner without the stress of circling the block. And for full transparency: my wife is absolutely going to be annoyed that I came here without her. After tasting this meal, I can already hear the "You went where?" conversation coming. But honestly, that just gives us the perfect excuse to return -- and next time, I'm bringing her with me. Overall, EMON delivers delicious food, exceptional hospitality, and a community‑minded atmosphere that makes you want to come back. This place deserves a spot on your regular rotation, and I'm already planning my next visit.

    It was my first time trying this place, and the experience was amazing. The food is really good and great quality, with generous portions at a reasonable price. The service is friendly as well. I highly recommend this place to anyone who likes Japanese food.

    I believe the business is family owned. The staff was friendly and help us pick the right bento boxes for us. The shrimp tempura were my favorite

    Emon in Burbank is outstanding! The staff are super nice and incredibly patient with their explanations, making the experience feel personal. The food was very fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

    The place was super clean and the food tasted fresh and well-made. We had the teriyaki combo, tempura combo, and a roll everything was delicious and reasonably priced. So happy to have found such a great casual neighborhood spot. We'll definitely be back!

    Food is exceptional and service is great. Overall prices are great and I really love their rolls! Victor and his team are great and super nice and chill. Highly recommend for sushi and the bento box!!

    Spicy Tuna Don
    Salvina L.

    This is a review SPECIFICALLY for the Spicy Tuna Don. I've ordered this dish multiple times and Emon has consistently delivered a delicious, quality bowl. The sushi rice that they use is amazing flavor wise and texture wise. It's not overwhelming nor flavorless and has a nice chewiness to it. The perfect sushi rice. The spicy tuna also tastes fresh. My favorite meal when I'm in Burbank. They accept phone orders and the workers are always friendly and efficient. Restaurant has limited seating but it's not difficult to find a table.

    Beef teriyaki
    Lina C.

    This is my second time ordering here and the first time I tried this place, I think I got the wrong thing. I order their stir fried noodle and it's not great. Look at the picture and you'll see why. However I'm glad this time round I ordered a myriad of other dishes because those were decent. We ordered the salmon teriyaki and sashimi + beef teriyaki bento and vege tempura. I will say the tempura was done perfectly. Super tasty and they gave a good variety of veges. I don't have photos of those because I ate them so quick. All in all, I would come back and need to remind myself not to order the stir fried noodles!

    Not bad for a quick bite to eat. The sushi leaves a lot to be desired, so beware. Otherwise, the portion sizes are worth the price.

Seating: The inside of the place is on the smaller side. There are a couple of tables inside and a lot of bar seating. They also have multiple tables set up outdoors. Just a heads up that the outdoor tables are set up on the street with a barricade separating you from traffic. Classic Salmon Poke Bowl: The base of the bowl is white rice with soy sauce. The ingredients include: salmon, masago, seaweed, imitation crab, green onion, furikake, fried onions, cucumber and ginger. It's a cute simple poke bowl. The rice was fluffy and the toppings were fresh. I enjoyed the bowl, however, I wished there was a bit more salmon or toppings because the rice was quite a lot. Build Your Own Poke Bowl: These are the following items I chose inside my bowl: - Base: half spring mix and white rice - Protein: salmon and yellowtail - Sauce: sweet ponzu - Toppings: mandarin slices, corn, cucumber, and edamame This was a lot better than the classic salmon poke bowl. I think it was because you get to pick your own sauce. PSA: There is no restroom inside the shop, however, if you ask the staff they will give you a code to a restroom located a short walk away.

Unfortunately, one of the plates we were given was still stained with food, which honestly should have been an immediate red flag. I ordered the Crab Zanmai Combination Plate. From what I could tell, it included a baked crab hand roll, 2 pieces of baked crab sushi, an 8-piece California roll, a soft shell crab roll, and 1 piece of fried soft shell crab. I'm kind of guessing on the exact contents because I couldn't find an actual description on either the menu or the restaurant's website. The soft shell crab was easily the best part of the combo, although that's admittedly a pretty low bar. The hand roll and baked crab pieces were passable. The California roll was more akin to something you'd find in a Ralph's grocery store sushi section than at an actual sushi restaurant. I also had the unfortunate experience of trying the salmon skin roll. The salmon skin may as well have been jerky. It didn't have that light crispness, but was extremely tough and not enjoyable at all. Definitely would pass on that. For basically $30 for this combo, I honestly think you're better off going to an actual sushi restaurant like Aikan. SushiStop is probably fine if you just want quick, cheap sushi, but if you're looking for a meal you'll genuinely enjoy, I'd probably recommend going elsewhere.

For example, today I stopped by to get a take out order because it was the quickest option on my way home from work. I got an order of their rainbow roll, which is supposed to be varieties of fresh fish on top of a California roll. The California roll they put it on was like half the size you would normally get of that roll, and had hardly any rice on it/ the outside of it. One piece of the fish looked and smelled questionable, so I didn't even chance eating it. The ginger isn't even fresh, its in a plastic packet.
