So much food for only $25 cute little place too. I got the chicken teriyaki it came with salad miso soup chicken teriyaki and rice and 8 sashimi read more

Great neighborhood restaurant, friendly staff, lots of parking. Fresh sashimi and great food. Will always come back

I ordered dinner on the phone in advance for pickup. I payed the bill for the meal and I waited for 50 minutes. 50 minutes of hunger filled rage that made me regret even punching in the name of this establishment on google. I will not be coming back and my experience was very saddening. read more

Very good Japanese food with some Korean influence. Staff is very friendly, portions are large. The teriyaki, the tempura and the soups are excellent as is the homemade kimchee. The sushi and the rolls are ok, there are other places for that if you just want sushi but definitely fine as an appetizer if you're hungry. Family owned, been coming here for years, always consistent. Really like it. read more

This place is a hidden gem. I found out about this place 6 months after I started working in Burbank. It definitely gets packed on weekdays during lunch hour. Their prices are a bit on the higher side but they definitely do have great lunch specials! I've only tried their Shrimp Tempura Udon and Spicy Tuna Rice bowl. The udon was a bit pricey but the spicy tuna bowl was a good deal. The portion size was huge - I couldn't finish it. read more

Great place! I really enjoy the tuna bowl and Veggie/shrimp tempura. The place is clean and the staff is friendly. read more

I love this little place. Great spot to grab some quick, inexpensive Japanese fare (as long as you can find parking - the shared lot gets full quickly). I love their tempura and their beef teriyaki. The Tempura is light and crispy. The beef teriyaki is delicious but I sometimes wish they used a better grade of beef. Their Bento boxes come with all kinds of things - a yummy fresh salad, pickled something that is tasty, goza...I try to hit this place once a month. Look for their specials! read more

It's my neighborhood teriyaki place. It's clean and has good bento sets. Udon was good too. I wish it was a bit cheaper. $15-20 per meal.

Great neighborhood take out place. I always get the spicy tuna bowl with avocado. Really clean -- even the pens you use to sign your receipt are sanitized individually. Super nice owners, huge portions. They also have cute little gifts by the cash register from Japan (I got these adorable chopsticks). Go support them! read more

Got their lunch special. Not too impressed by it, plus they forgot my rice. The sushi rolls they give you have supermarket imitation fish meat/crab, and the teriyaki chicken was coated with a rather unflavorful finish. 13 bucks, there are better sushi : Japanese hybrids out there. The shrimp tempura was the lone highlight unfortunately :( read more

Emon - Lunch special -- they forgot my rice! - Japanese Near Me - Burbank, California

I was in the Burbank area and actually just typed in "teriyaki" in the Yelp search. Once again this is why I am a firm believer and a fellow Elite Yelper of Yelp. Emon is a moms n pops fast food teriyaki/Japanese restaurant right across from Bea Bea's. It's a fairly small restaurant, but the portions are however large if you decide to order the bento box or Emon's specials. Mind you, the bento box beef teriyaki and shrimp tempura was about $10, it was huge! The best part about Emon was that i walked in with my son (who had already eaten dinner) and the server (probably the son) gave my son a small child's cup of water and an extra plate of a small rice and slice of orange. It was nice of him to bring out another plate of rice to share! All in all a nice fast food teriyaki experience. When you walk in there are items on the board but do look at their menu for more items to choose from. Be careful when you maneuver around the kitchen to head to the restroom also. read more

Still great food at a great price. Run by a wonderful family. Always a warm polite welcome. Been eating here for 20 years. Food and service has always been consistent. read more

Five star everything. Food is fresh and delish. Service is pleasant. Orders are punctual

I was pleasantly surprised about this little strip mall restaurant. Since i am a health nut, I was surprised that they served brown rice. And you could have it in your sushi too for a $1 more. I highly recommend the seaweed salad. It wasn't on the menu but it was displayed by the cash register. Friendly fast service. Japanese good made by a Korean couple. Very yummy and cheap food! read more

Emon - Spicy tuna don with brown rice - Japanese Near Me - Burbank, California

See all

It's ok Japanese fast food. Came here to try the spicy tuna don, like many have reviewed well. But it's over my lunch budget at $11.95. So I opted for the spicy tuna roll and chicken teriyaki bowl instead. The bowl was not great for me. It had way too much teriyaki sauce, so it seemed too salty for me. Then the chicken tasted like it was fried or cooked in the same pan as fish. It had a fishy taste. I would be a little forgiving since Japanese food is synonymous with fish, but chicken should taste like chicken. The spicy tuna was ok. I don't think the raves on yelp were done by real sushi eaters. I must be missing something? I've eaten here before and had udon. I shall stick to that. read more

Emon - Spicy tuna roll & chicken teriyaki bowl - Japanese Near Me - Burbank, California

Great little find in Burbank. The food was good, i tried the chicken curry, spicy tuna roll, and gyoza. I really enjoyed the curry, it's a little spicy but really tasty and comes with a side salad and bean sprouts on the side. The gyoza and spicy tuna were good but nothing special. The parking in the lot is fairly easy as well. Ill definitely be back soon! read more

Their udon is so good! The chicken teriyaki is also great! Love grabbing food from there.

I love this little family-owned neighborhood restaurant. I stop in here often after work to have their udon noodle soup with tofu - it is so delicious; a generous bowl served piping hot, and very filling. There is classy jazz music playing which makes for a pleasant atmosphere. Fresh, clean environment, and reasonably priced too! read more

I have been here before, I've always liked it. It came to a sudden stop when covid hit. But now they're open once again and customers are able to dine in , thank you. Located in a beautiful city of Burbank, very nice spot, clean and people here are low key and original..lol ...quiet and you get the view of Disney building and hillside . They are fast, friendly and the price of their bento is actually the right price!!!! The tempura is a bomb, light, crispy and it's done right. They also have outside seats as well, perfect spot read more

Really good! Hard to find quality beef teriyaki in Burbank. Definitely come try this place out. Small family vibes

I have been coming to this restaurant for over 15 years starting from when I lived in Toluca Lake, it is my one of my go to Japanese restaurants my husband drive all the way from San Marino to get take out from Emon. They are friendly with food that is fresh and tastes like homemade. Really good beef teriyaki and everything else. read more

Their food is fresh and yummy! Great hidden spot. Definitely try the Poke bowl. Also I love their Udon soup.

Fresh sushi. Good interior. Nice service and good for lunch because you pay when you order.

I thought the food was on par with Japanese food typically served at a food court in the mall. People compliment this place due to the portion sizes, which is true. You get a big plate of food, so if you prefer to pay for quantity over quality then this place may be for you. I much prefer to get a smaller portion with better quality ingredients. This place just wasn't for me. read more

I love this place. I have been eating here for a little over a year now and they do not disappoint. Everything tastes fresh and delicious and the staff is super kind and very helpful. And, their pricing is extremely reasonable for what you get. I recently had a small party (10 ppl) and I ordered their party tray of sushi, chicken teriyaki and salad. They were super accommodating and knew exactly how much sushi, chicken and salad I needed. It was a huge hit with all my guests raving about the sushi and chicken. Thank you so much, Emon! I will come back again and again! read more

Love this place. Family run. So good and reasonably priced. Not fancy or trendy but good food and very pleasant staff

Being coming for over a decade and I continue to enjoy their food and staff. My all time favorite is the Emon Don with brown rice and spicy Teriyaki. Yum read more

Good value for money. Food is fresh and made to order. Location is ideal with plenty of accessible parking. There is sign on the door that pets are not allowed. Depending on who's managing the restaurant it's either enforced or not. Not open on the weekend which makes no sense for a neighborhood eatery. read more

Very fresh and good Sushi! Service is great too but always call and make a reservation 1st as they fill up quick!!!

Thanks Emon! So happy you are still operating during the craziness. Your food is a great way to stay healthy, with such yummy flavors and good things to eat. Hang in there! read more

Emon - Spicy tuna don with avocado - Japanese Near Me - Burbank, California

Really did not enjoy the takeout I got today. It's a shame, too because they are right next door to my postal annex so I am there all the time but I have been a few times in the past and haven't been that thrilled so I rarely go there. But alas, today I was starving and had no other options so I popped in and got the albacore salad hand roll special ($5) and seaweed salad ($4) to go. The hand roll was okay - the seaweed outer wrap was rubbery and nothing tasted fresh. The seaweed salad was rancid and I had to throw it out. I am not a person that wastes food, so it really killed me to have to throw it out but it made me want to throw up. It even smelled off. And that sucks because I love seaweed salad when its good and HATE it when it's rancid. Next time, hungry or not, I'm skipping this place. Would be a better bet to grab something from the Von's grocery store. read more

I love Emon! I order from this restaurant at least every 2 weeks. Usually I have a hard time choosing what to order because everything is so good. But if you want a recommendation, I suggest trying the Ten Don or the Tuna Don. This restaurant has been a great source of comfort food during this pandemic. read more

The beef curry definitely hit the spot- perfect for a cold, rainy day in January. Friendly staff and good prices. Stop by and check them out. read more

Emon - Japanese Near Me - Burbank, California

Looking at all the reviews I was excited to try the chicken teriyaki bento - the chicken tasted like bad dark meat leftovers, it gave me a stomach ache, the tempura was ok and the cali roll was a cali roll, nothing special. I was very disappointed and will not go back again. read more

Emon is our go-to. Robert and I are surrounded by high ticket celebrated Japanese restaurants in Toluca Lake but this "humble" (and really friendly) neighborhood mini-mall place always comes through with the most wonderful never-fail versions of tempura, sushi, UNAGI (simply the best, plumpest, yummiest!). And their miso soup is comfort in a cup! Every time we bring in from the high-ticket places there is always one(or more?) items that make us regret our decisions (salmon skin salad anyone!?!?) . But EMON rocks! Every time. We've always only done take-out (comfort food IN the comfort of home.) But when things are eat-in again they have a bright, clean atmosphere. read more

This is a great little sushi spot in big lot shared with the market, etc. They have big bento box lunches, but I usually come for the miso soup, spicy yellowtail roll and albacore salad hand roll. Really tasty! Decent pricing. A great lunch option if you're around Burbank. Get there just before noon to beat the lunch rush. read more

Service is great. Always so nice and respectful. The food is not extremely good but definitely yummy and a good stop. Personally love the bento box not a fan of the sushi. Overall nice spot. read more

This place has been here for so long that it might as well be an icon in Burbank. It was recently remodeled and still has all of the Hollywood celebrity pictures on the wall. I usually get the curry rice with chicken and it is very good. Other dishes, such as the shrimp tempura are great as well. Service has always been good. It's a good eatery in a convenient location that isn't too expensive. Good stuff! read more

Just on the lunch box alone I give it 5 stars! They made sushi with brown rice and the teriyaki was delish. Everything you crave is in the box. I popped in just after 4pm and they still honored lunch. They even convinced me to sit for a moment and eat. He said it would come out quick and boy did it! Can't wait to go back. Satisfied and my mouth is still watering. #GoodStuff read more
