I visited with my family. All servers are very friendly and all foods are so delicious. Especially yellow tail sushi are so good. Highly recommend restaurant in Burbank! read more

It's rare to go to a new sushi spot with my circle And have everyone love it, this time it was different - everyone loved it. They raved about the ambiance, service, selections, flavor and freshness. That's saying a lot, there was honorable mention of the dinner even days later at another dinner. Tucked away in an inconspicuous area with ample parking. Give it a try, it even has a nice sushi bar. read more

horrible service and attitude from the asian lady working in the front. i asked her for some spicy mayo on the side for my order and she told me there was some drizzled on the roll. i then asked if i can still get some on the side and she comes back with the smallest most stingy serving. she said next time i have to order it. (mind you the option for extra sauce is not online) i also do not mind having to pay for it. i just dont think i deserved the attitude when asking politely. dont worry lady there will be no next time and i wish this place goes out of business!!! do not come here unless you like to be treated poorly. read more

Ooommmmggggg. The most delicious sushi I have ever eaten in my entire life. Try this cozy sushi place if you are looking for quality food . The staff are also super nice and friendly. Thanks for the great dinner . read more

The waiter greeted as promptly and there were lots of choices for different kinds of sushi. We started with complimentary Miso soup, followed by vegetable gyoza, house salad, chicken teriyaki and various sushi rolls. It's not a large restaurant but it sure offers a lot of variety good atmosphere and great service! read more

Ambiance is casual and a bit dated, but I didn't really mind because they kept it clean. I really liked the drawings that they posted on the walls by some of their customers. Service was good, we had a friendly server who checked up on us often. In terms of the food, our order was delicious. We ordered all the no rice rolls and I enjoyed all of them, especially the love roll. Can't really comment on the hot food since I haven't tried any of them, but I'd love to try the next time I visit. read more

Best sushi I've tasted in my life. Price is very reasonable for the quality of thr sushi. Would recommend here to all my friends. The sushi rice here is top quality. You should definitely check out Sushi Dake if you're in the area. read more

My go to neighborhood sushi place. A classic sushi bar with extremely friendly staff, they always take great care of us. We go here for a quick 2 person dinner at the bar or bring groups for an always enjoyable time. The sushi is excellent and very reasonable. It's a great Burbank spot for lunch or dinner. read more

I've said it before and I'll say it again... Blu Gummy dislikes when he has to give a bad review... but unfortunately, the truth must prevail, for your sake, my devoted followers! Sushi Dake CAN make good food. That is why I've slotted them in for 2 stars on yelpy yelp. But, their lack of friendliness, their difficulty to communicate food allergies to, and their unnecessarily sloppy presentation can not go without comment. I believe at one time they might have taken pride in what they do, but it appears that things have unfortunately slid... Now, everyone is entitled to a bad day. Right? We're human for goodness sake - well, at least you are - I'm a blue gummy bear - and no, we don't ever EVER have bad days - but I digress: YES, Sushi Dake let me down once, and yes, the times before were average at best, but the first time I ever went there, about 2 months ago, they WERE indeed quite lovely and the food was better than average. So what's a guy to do? Blu Gummy gives Sushi Dake a 3 out of 8 Blu Gummies. read more

Delightful! Came in completely on a last minute whim driving by. 1:30 lunch and the place was packed but luckily there water a few spots at the bar. Personally I must eat sushi at the bar or it's not the same experience haha. Discovered they have 3 no rice roll options! So great. I ordered the Oishi Roll: assorted sashimi, avocado, gobo, IMO, spicy crab, wrapped in cucumber $14.95. Even though it came with a sauce, I automatically always ask for side ponzu cuz I love it so much. The chef polightly said, you don't need it, it's in the sauce, try it. He was right! I always listen to a chef if they say just try it as I've prepared it. They made it that way for a reason. It was delicious. Light but definitely enough food. Even though I didn't need it, I also ordered albacore sashimi because, to me, that is the test. Is it fresh? Yes. I also expected 2 pieces and got 5 so I am STUFFED lol. Staff is friendly, bathroom is clean. Like the vibe. Ultimately Kuru Kuru nearby on Hollywood Way and Alameda will always be my #1. It's the best in Burbank, maybe even the whole Valley but it doesn't mean I won't try and give proper credit to other places. This place is pretty fantastic. read more

My daughter and I went to Sushi Dake today, for the first time.. Always seen the place and been wanting to visit.. My family and I are mixed with Japanese. This restaurant is outstanding in service and in Sushi.. Haven't had the kind of sushi, I was raised with until now.. They have everything you could want in a Sushi Restaurant.. There is a Sushi bar, awesome surroundings, Chefs and waitresses are the cutest.. We enjoyed every minute there.. Thank you so much and the next time we will come way earlier.. Just so everyone knows, the restaurant closes at 3pm.. read more

I'm a fan! I came in here late in the evening and had a very pleasant experience. Every person working was very friendly and welcoming. I had the trio sashimi special, which consisted of albacore, yellowtail, and salmon. Usually albacore is my least favorite of the three, but it was so melt-in-your-mouth delicious, I was thrilled. I also ordered ikura (salmon eggs) and uni (sea urchin). The sea urchin specifically was some of the best I've ever had. I'm drooling just thinking about it again. They give complimentary soybeans before the meal and complimentary watermelon after the meal, which I found to be nice touches. They also put a lovely orchid on the plate - just speaks classiness to me, and I took it home because it was so pretty. One things that surprised me is that the ladies working the floor were cleaning menus and wiping down chairs during their down time. These are areas that are often overlooked in many restaurants so they tend to get sticky and just generally gross, but they take an obvious pride in cleanliness here, which I very much appreciate. The sushi chefs were warm and friendly - Kyle and Ken - and even gave me a sample to try. It's nice to have chefs that interact with you instead of being standoffish. Overall, excellent experience. I definitely intend to return and I will bring my teenage daughter to try their Spanish mackerel with fried bone, which is a delicious item but can be hard to find - usually only the most authentic sushi restaurants carry it. Thanks for the nice time and save me some uni! read more

Sushi Dake - Fatty sashimi trio has salmon, yellowtail & albacore, and uni & ikura on the right. So delicious and fresh! - Japanese Near Me - Burbank, California

We had dinner here a few times while visiting family and friends. The food was so fresh, properly prepared and great value for the price. I would like to say that everyone was always friendly and nice. John was the best sushi chef ever!.. I love Fatty sashimi trio! Will be back definitely. .. read more

we came after school because we were hungry but the service was so bad!!! The lady was so rude and told us if we want to eat in there we have to pay 10 dollars each. It was 5 of us and it's so over priced. Don't go save your money the seven eleven sushi is better. We should have gone there instead. Also I had to buy just because we got drinks but even after we realized the service was bad. $16 for one sushi roll that really small. $10 just to sit there and be told to leave. She also made us wait out side and we couldn't sit. read more

I love admitting when I'm wrong, especially after all of these years of stupidily judging this place by its outside cover. That was until yesterday when a gal pal and I decided to try something new for lunch and we hit this little whole in the wall in a Burbank mini mall on a 101 degree day. I'm setting up this icky and hot and gross scene, because once inside it couldn't have been more of a contrast. Cute, clean, lovely people, friendly sushi chefs and it only took one glance to our left at a dish someone had just ordered to say, "Oh yeah, we are eating here." We tried the Hamachi which is always the tell tale sign for me of whether a place is going to be good. If it doesn't taste like butter and desolve accordingly then I'll just have something cooked please. Well, the Yellowtail didn't fail nor did my friends "test" of the Tamago. Both were deelish. We then moved onto the Dake Roll to see what this signature roll was all about. First of all, it had REAL CRAB, not real Krab like most places will try to scam you into ordering. (Hate that) It also had Tuna, Yellowtail, ALbacore, Cucumber, Avocado and a 911 Sauce (Which was basically the red rooster burn your tongue off if you're not careful sauce. We also tried the Ichi Roll with spicy real crab topped with shrimp & soybean paper. Very tasty. THe only thing I didn't like about this place is the fact that they make their spicy mayo with sweet tastying mayo. Can't really say I'm a fan of that, but overall this place is definitely worth a try if you live/work in the Valley. read more

Sushi Dake - Japanese Near Me - Burbank, California

Well i finally made it here but not really by my choice. This restaurant is quaint, by this i mean unusual or odd looking on the outside-it is in a small strip and next door is a fish aquarium..As long as they aren't getting their fish from there, im cool. It is also family owned/operated and really small. It was pretty busy..i felt bad for the under staffed employees but i was really irritated that we had to ask for a table, ask for a menu, ask for a drink order to be taken..you get it.. Although, THEY ASKED ME to change my order because they were out of an ingredient to make my roll. After all these issues, i decided to just go with simple rolls-spicy tuna and Philly. When we did get our food, the order was wrong..but they were quick to fix it. The fish was not the best by far but it was still fresh if that makes sense? They were not plentiful with the wasabi and ginger..Then when we were finished guess what? We had to ask for the check and then ask for a box that was obviously needed..$35 undeserving dollars for 4 small rolls and 2 small teas. Thank goodness for the interesting conversation at my table because otherwise i think i would have become really impatient..i think from now on im just going to stick with my favorite sushi joints. * *3.5 - 4 stars for the food* * * *2.5 - 3 stars for the service* * :( read more

Sushi Dake - Garlic Roll..MMmm - Japanese Near Me - Burbank, California

Great service from a woman who probably can't speak much English but smiles and nods graciously. Fish so fresh you don't need to chew it. Wonderful presentation that is clean and simple. Fun for a date night. Sexiest rolls in town. Seriously the menu features the love role, the sexy roll, the sunkissed roll and if things don't work out the hotline roll. It's not fancy but cute. Look hard it's hidden in a strip mall. read more

Sushi Dake - Making the love roll- creamy and spicy - Japanese Near Me - Burbank, California

Ugh. I hate doing this. I usually don't like reviewing places after only one visit and this is why..... I went back to Sushi Dake for dinner last night expecting something on par with my first visit (LOVED IT!!!). The service was still warm and friendly but the food was just.....meh. We ordered the Heart Attack, tempura fried jalapeno stuffed with cream cheese and spicy tuna and it was sort of bland. How can something like that be bland? HOW??? The garlic albacore roll was kind of mushy and the sauce a little too sweet. The himachi kama was SO dry. I can't even remember the other stuff we got....that says it all. I guess it's time to move on. I don't find myself enjoying sushi in roll form much anymore anyhow.....so maybe it's not you, Sushi Dake.....maybe it's me. Either way....I won't be back. read more

I too have never been to this restaurant because if it's location and outside appearance. Due to Yelp, I now have a new sushi restaurant to frequent in Burbank. And it's right down the street from my office! Can't beat that! There is a roll on the menu that is to die for. Spicy tuna roll wrapped in albacore and avacado. This roll just melts in your mouth. Also, just the straight albacore sushi is excellent. I'll definitely be heading back! read more

Nice little mom and pop sushi place. Food always good, friendly service. Just a relaxing place to go.

L-O-V-E this place! The service is spectacular - both waitresses were super cheerful and welcoming. They were helpful in explaining some of the special rolls, even with their limited English. Oh and the sushi of course was smooth like butter. It was super delicious and fresh. I'm making this place one of my regular spots. read more

Sushi Dake - Natalie roll - I think - Japanese Near Me - Burbank, California

This place is walkable from my house. I come here when I have a super crave for sushi. The employees are super nice. The place is avg. The food is pretty good but a little more pricy. I don't mind it if its good quick fix for me. I've tried a good number of their rolls. I usually go off the list of what I have not tried. There's plenty of parking since its a plaza. Its understandable of the interior decoration given what's surrounding it and its a residential area next to a high school. Got to make sure you can grab some kids attention instead of having them head to mcds. You know what I mean. Thanks for the grub as always :3 read more

I have been a customer at sushi Dake for over 10 years. Yesterday I called to place an order so I could have my son pick it up for his birthday. I wanted to pay by credit card over the phone so my son didn't have to pay for his birthday. Impossible. I told them that I was a customer for so many years and they said they don't know me. Wow. You would think after so many years that they would know their customers. Then, I specifically asked for Ponzu sauce to be added to my order. It was not there. I know we are working in difficult times right now, but a little bit of courtesy would be appreciated, especially for a long term customer. read more

Yum yum yum! Sushi here always tastes great and Fresh. The blue crab hand roll is my favorite and then the tiger cut roll. All staff are friendly and welcoming. Many regulars come here, but they are always ready for newcomers. read more

I have been going to Dake for about 5 years now (they've been open for about 9 years). We went there on the recommendation of a trusted friend (otherwise, I would have never tried it because of the location - in a strip mall next to an exotic fish store). I am so glad that we did. IT WAS AMAZING, and it is our GO TO spot for sushi. They have a great variety, high quality sushi and the service is wonderful. We've recomended it to som many of our firends and they are never disappointed. The restaurant is owned by Michael and Diana. Diana is one of the sweetest women I know. She is always so welcoming, and how she remembers everyone's names, I willl never know. Michael is great. He is a little more aloof until he gets to know you, but just as wonderful. I love how he is always trying to create new rolls. His latest is a with Mango, Salmon, Avocado and, I think, Tuna. It was really good, and I'm not a fan of Mango. I think the Oishi roll is one of the best ever. Cool crip and oh, so yummy! The Diana Roll is a good one if you are not sure what you want. It is 6 or 8 different types of individual sushi rolls. There is one with Smelt Eggs, Salmon Roe, Spicy Tuna, Yellow Tail, Tuna, and a few others. If you are in the mood for a salad, they also make a great sashimi salad. It is really good. They also have a great selection of Beer and Sake. Tony is the 'new' (he's been there about a year now) head chef, and he is completely open to trying new things. Just don't do that to him when the restaurant is full. I watched someone go in there when there was a wait, and then sit at the sushi bar and tell Tony they wanted several different types of rolls. And they weren't simple ones. "I want this type of fish,mixed with hot oil, then wrappend with Soy and Seaweed paper then, on top I want ......." You get my drift. Then that individiual had the odasity to complain about how long it took ... REALLY ... do you not see that there are only 2 sushi chefs behind the counter and about 30 people with orders in front of you? SIt back, relax and enjoy some Sake. If you like Sushi, and like a fun, non-assuming place with genuine people had high quality food, then this is your place! My husband and I love it! read more

I ordered the salmon lunch box via telephone for pick up and she even repeated my order back to me and as well as in person. I come back to my desk and it's chicken. I had better chicken, it tasted sort of odd and very dry. $12 for tasteless miso soup, salad, rice & chicken. Totally not worth the 20-25min wait. From now on, I'll just order sushi and check my order before I leave. I enjoyed my salmon/CA roll from last time. read more

Went there for the third or fourth time on July 25, 2019. They're close to me distance wise, and the food is pretty good! However this last time I was there, while we were walking out the waitress looks at us and yells out loud "only a $7 tip"?... Not only did she read the amount wrong, but she yelled it out in front of the entire restaurant. Does she realize tips are optional? And was yelling across the entire restaurant and laughing the best way for her to handle that situation? The food is good, but it sucks that I will no longer be coming back to this establishment, and will definitely be letting everyone know about this experience. read more

BEST SUSHI hands down! Anything can be made with brown rice or wrapped in cucumber! Their fish is as fresh as I've ever had. I crave Sushi Dake all the time.

Not a fan. :( I got the Dake combo plate. None of the sushi tasted fresh and I couldn't eat it. The salmon teriyaki was OK. I wouldn't go again; bummed about this as I am still trying to find a really good sushi place in the Burbank area. read more

Went here a few times for lunch since it is near to my wife's office, so it is convenient it that perspective. The food is good here and it is ok if you want something quick and fast. However, the only gripe I would say about this place is that it is overpriced and the amount of food or portions are pretty small compare to other restaurants I am accustomed to. read more

I love this place because it's convenient to home, I don't have to drive to downtown Burbank to my other favorite Japanese restaurant. Ample parking. The place is only small so it gets packed fast. The staff is Korean - and there's nothing wrong with that. They are friendly, fast, and serves fresh sushi. One less star for the price. I think $12 per roll is a little high - but this is just me. Price is relative. read more

This is our local spot because we can walk here. It is pricey for what it is - rolls. I like the spicy tuna hand roll with soy paper (no extra charge) and blue crab roll. I also get a miso soup and garden salad - both good. Avoid the gyoza - they are deep fried v pan fried. Pro tip - they make toddler size sushi! Win For a similar price you can had over to my favorite spot on Riverside Drive for amazing sushi (not rolls). read more

I am unsure what I have done to offend this establishment, as I have tried to bring them regular business,but everytime I have come in here the woman and sushi chef treat me horribly and ignore me and chose to argue with me about my order. I dont ask for complicated dishes, just gluten free soy sauce, and greet them with a smile. I have tried to shower them with kindness this last time because maybe they just had a bad experience with someone that looks like me. It did not work.They seem to only cater kindly to families and elderly. Which is nice, but are very judgmental of alternative or different looking people. Great for families but not great for anyone else. I have worked as a server and bartender most of my life, I always try to be understanding of their occupations difficulties. I really am in shock as to why I get borderline abuse when I go in. They were very hurtful. I will not be returning and will be sure to tell others to stay away.. read more
