Seriously delicious! I know Oishi Sushi has been a staple of Glendale for a while, but can't…read morebelieve it has taken me this long to try it! We came for a friend's birthday party, and DEVOURED. Started off with the Matcha IPA beer (green deliciousness, a bit strong on the hop + matcha so beware), and ordered a few appetizers to start--edamame, karaage, seared albacore with onions, yellowtail jalapeño, ceviche (omg so good), shishito peppers--everything was amazing! And we were off to a great start. We ordered a few rolls, and sushi, and hadn't realized that each portion came with 2 pieces so we definitely ate a lot. Everything was very fresh, and the quality was amazing. As if it couldn't be better, the service was superb! The owners came to check on us multiple times, ensuring everything was according to our liking and nothing was amiss. Can't believe it was my first time here! Will definitely be back for my sushi cravings!!

So, my daughter saw this place on TikTok and had to try this place…read more It was happen to be a really scorching hot day, Sunday afternoon. The restaurant was pretty empty due to the extreme hot weather. We ordered the lunch specials and they were really fresh and delicious. (like their restaurant name) The server lady was very friendly and answered the questions that my daughter had. I accidently left my key after the lunch and they kept it safely for me. This restaurant deserve more business and highly recommend. Obviously we will be back this restaurant again sometime soon.

The interior is cool especially if you have the opportunity to sit in one of the booths. They are very private and have curtains that add to the mood. Both times I've been here, I've had the ramen and it was perfect with beer. Service is speedy and the wait staff pass by often so you can always get what you need. This is a great restaurant to have in the neighborhood.

I know it's a franchise, but I've had other ramen franchises just fine, but it might just be the broth and flavor profile for me. I like that this location is much bigger than the others and is a bit nicer as a result and even during the dinner rush there really wasn't a wait and our food came out decently quickly. Service was friendly and fast too. Ambiance is fancier than the other locations with the dark wood and the dimmer fancy lighting. With every visit, I try to get my ramen super spicy since a lot of, not only ramen places, but Japanese restaurants, spicy means not bland (no offense). And this is the same. I got the super spicy and it just tasted like slightly chili flavored ramen. Imagine someone did cook something spicy in the bowl of ramen and then rinsed the bowl quickly twice. I got the tonkotsu ramen with chashu (2 pieces), seasoned egg, green onions, corn and no bean sprout. Pretty oily and a bit salty and again, not a hint of spiciness. Noodles had a nice chew to it at least. Just alright if anything.

I visited Kopan Sushi & Ramen with my family, and the salmon was exceptionally fresh and delicious…read more The sushi dish I ordered was amazing as well. This visit completely changed my perception of Kopan Ramen for the better. My daughter loved it so much that she immediately asked to come back next time. The staff was friendly, responsive, and provided fast, attentive service. The interior design and lighting created a wonderful atmosphere--it truly deserves a full 5-star rating in every aspect. On top of that, both the restrooms and the overall dining area were spotless. We were completely satisfied with every single detail!

Wifey and I regularly go to Burbank and have passed by Kopan Sushi & Ramen countless times. We…read morefinally stopped by to give them a shot and we've been kicking ourselves for sleeping on this place! You place your name on the waitlist and they'll call you when your table is ready. Depending on what time you go, it could take a while but it's worth the wait. The interior decor is really nice and will make you forget that you're in downtown Burbank. It was also surprisingly spotless considering the quick turnaround once a table opens up (major props to the staff cleaning the tables). We each tried a bento box for our entrees - I had the Chicken Cutlet with California Roll while my wife had Bulgogi with Avocado Roll. Both came with rice, salad, and Miso Soup. Even in summer, the Miso Soup hits the spot! One of the better ones we've tried. The Chicken Cutlet and Bulgogi were nice and tasty. Our sushi rolls are safe options (obviously) but dependable as well. Overall we loved Kopan and can't wait to come back to try more of their menu! Great service, good food and good times! And not for nothing, but the restrooms are top-notch as well!

I also couldn't taste any crab in the crab & mozzarella cheese tempura, which was disappointing. Overall, this restaurant serves a very Americanized style of sushi. If you're looking for a more authentic Japanese sushi experience, I'd recommend trying somewhere else. The one-star rating reflects the food only. Our waiter, however, was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and deserving of five stars for his excellent service.

Izakaya Osen on Sunset is definitely one of my favorite sushi spots. I found this place on one of…read moremy sushi ventures and I'm so glad I did. I love that they were able to substitute imitation crab for real crab because I don't do imitation crab. So when I can get a California roll with real crab, I'm getting it. It's such a simple roll, but so yummy! I'm a nigiri girl, and let me tell you the fish here is just so delicious, fresh, buttery and melts in your mouth, leaving you wanting more. And the best seat in the house is at the bar watching the sushi chefs do their thing, the whole vibe is just great. It's perfect for lunch or a nice date night. I do recommend making a reservation, especially on the weekends. Definitely worth it

Reminded me of dimsum shrimp balls. - Bara Chirashi - LOVED the different textures and flavor profiles of the various components of this dish. Esp the Shiso flowers (tartness) - Miso Soup - Premium Sashimi (scallop, Otoro, salmon): salmon was my favorite! otoro was oh-so-fatty melt in your mouth - Premium Sushi (Golden eye snapper, ebi uni, and I forgot the other): Golden eye snapper was my FAVE! - Miso black cod: sweet, savory, buttery, also melt in your mouth. tasty! - Yuzu Sorbet: refreshing - Birthday matcha ice cream and basque cake.: cake was yummyy - Roku Rose was alright Overall, glad I got to try the DineLA tho the pricepoint def does reflect the higher quality of ingredients. I'd potentially come back for special occasions. Service was friendly, but it felt a little disorganized tbh. Felt like we had to flag people down for drink orders. Also felt rushed through our courses. Wish they waited for all of us to finish before collecting our plates. Easily found free street parking around the corner so don't have to do valet

I never have to wait and usually get booth seating right up front. I love their happy hour and lunch specials. The meats are well marinated and tasty. The garlic rice and appetizers are also delicious. There is always enough to take home. I feel like I get a balanced meal with the soup and salad. You grill your own meats and veggies but it's more elevated than other grill your own food places.

We love yakiniku and are regulars to this Gyu-Kaku location for many years…read more They don't take reservations, so waits can get long when it's busy. Parking in front is limited, but there are free structures and paid street parking nearby. The ambiance is pretty standard for a yakiniku place and very casual. Service has always been good and the staff are friendly and attentive. Most of the meats are great, although some cuts can be tough. We also really like the salad, sukiyaki bibimbap, spicy tuna crispy rice, Gyu-Sushi, and especially the sweet and spicy sauce. The BBQ courses / a la carte and AYCE can all be a good value depending on your appetite, group size, and if you go during happy hour. If you dine at Gyu-Kaku often, definitely use the app for the rewards. We've always had good experiences here and will keep coming back.

Everything tasted very good and the pork and rice soup was definitely the stand out. It was rich, flavorful and very satisfying. We only received four kinds of banchan but they were all tasty especially the kimchee. The service was fine. It was nothing amazing but we had no complaints and everything went smoothly. Parking was horrible but honestly that was expected for Glendale. Luckily we were able to grab a parking spot just as another car was pulling out and since it was a Sunday parking was free which was a nice bonus. Overall, we had a very enjoyable meal and would definitely go back when in the area. The food was delicious, portions were good and the pork and rice soup alone is worth ordering.

Making a reservation was very easy, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted right away and seated promptly. The ambiance was warm and inviting. The restaurant is a bit dimly lit, but it really adds to the cozy and upscale atmosphere. One thing I immediately noticed was how clean all of the grills were. We chose the AYCE option (around $55 per person), and the pricing for kids was very reasonable. Our 5-year-old was charged a reduced rate, while our 3-year-old ate free, which was a nice bonus for families. The selection of meats was excellent, with plenty of options to choose from. They do have a 90-minute dining limit and a surcharge for excessive leftovers, but that wasn't an issue for us because everything was delicious. The appetizer selection was surprisingly large. We enjoyed the beef fried rice, noodles, a sushi roll, crispy tofu, chicken karaage, and shiitake mushrooms. The crispy tofu turned out to be spicier than we expected, so just keep that in mind if ordering for kids. However, spice lovers will probably enjoy it! The chicken karaage was a huge hit with the kids, especially with the spicy mayo on the side. The shiitake mushrooms were also incredibly flavorful and well-seasoned. We also ordered crispy rice spicy tuna, we loved it too! What really stood out was the service. Every server we encountered was kind, attentive, and genuinely friendly. Instead of simply dropping off food and walking away, they took time to check in, ask how we were doing, and connect with us. That personal touch made the experience feel special. We only ordered water since we had already had plenty of drinks earlier in the day, but they offer a variety of beverages as well. For dessert, we tried the mochi ice cream special--two for $5--which was a fantastic deal. In San Diego, it's common to pay around $5 for just one mochi ice cream, so we were pleasantly surprised. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and are so happy we chose Oku-Niku for my birthday celebration. Great food, excellent service, a family-friendly atmosphere, and a memorable dining experience. We'll definitely be back!

I have had this place bookmarked for years because I am a bigger fan of Japanese BBQ than Korean…read moreBBQ. I know, scandalous, right? The place was also always rather expensive. However, it seems prices are not so high anymore, so we went. Sadly, the food disappointed for the most part. One problem is the parking situation. It is nearly impossible to find a spot anywhere near the restaurant, and the fact there are numerous other dining spots on the block only makes things even harder. When we got there we had a friendly attentive server. However, he switched shifts with another server moments after we ordered. That led to many problems. The waitress who took over was almost never in the dining room. Dishes we ordered were sent to a different table. A Shirley Temple drink was ordered and it took nearly 30 minutes to be made. This is ginger ale and grenadine. Except, it wasn't even ginger ale, because they don't have ginger ale. It was Sprite! Oy! As far as the food, one big problem were the awful dipping sauces. I don't think I've had a problem with the dipping sauce at many if any other Asian bbqs in the past. However, the missus hated the soy or ponzu based sauce and wouldn't eat it. I used it, but it was not good. The meats were totally decent quality. The problem is their marinade isn't a soy based yakinaku type sauce like most Japanese BBQs. It was Japanese barbecue sauce and it tasted like barbecue sauce. Not a great flavor. The prime beef fried rice, gyoza, garlic noodles were the better dishes, though none particularly impressed. The cucumbers were soaked in ponzu sauce rather than pickled like sunomono or in a spicy sauce like cucumber kimchi. It was unmemorable. The chicken karaage was edible but unexciting. The spicy tuna on crispy rice was good, but they went soggy very quickly, which made any except the first one or two eaten not very enjoyable. The crispy garlic jalapeno chicken wings were god awful and inedible as far as I'm concerned. I'm sad the place wasn't better. I wanted a place to go that hopefully was somewhat cheaper than Manpuku - the best Japanese BBQ in LA. However, I wouldn't return for any of this food, and I can't recommend it to anyone. Avoid or try at your own risk.

KazuNori is honestly one of our absolute favorite spots to get hand rolls, hands down…read more We go here easily once a month and it's consistently the best hand rolls we've had in Los Angeles. There are other places that come close, but at the end of the day, we always find ourselves back here. Usually we go with the simple six hand roll set menu, which includes toro, yellow tail, salmon, scallop, crab, and lobster. The scallop is my absolute favorite it's so buttery, I always end up ordering a second one by the end of the meal. The whole vibe and atmosphere here is really nice too. The people working here are also amazing and always helping out when needed. Only downside is parking, during the day you're fighting for street parking, but at night they have pretty affordable valet which makes it easy. If this review helped, a thumbs up is always appreciated
