Sushi Dragon - delicious! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sun Valley, California

Great hole in the wall place! Well, I was a little put off by the riffraff hanging around the parking lot behind the place, but I'm sure glad I didn't let that stop me from trying Sushi Dragon! Wonderful, fresh sushi prepared with passion, and super reasonable prices. My husband got a combo with spicy tuna roll and chefs choice sushi and every piece was perfect. Definitely will be coming back. Don't let the decor/location deter you :) read more

yesterday I went to this place to try Sushi! to admit that I was amazed by the quality and the vast choice! I will definitely come back

I just ate at this place for the first time tonight and what a great experience. The food was great, the sushi was fresh, and the staff was incredibly friendly. It's in a cruddy looking strip-mall but don't let the location fool you the restaurant is clean and very welcoming. Besides everyone knows that the seedier and more unappealing the location of a sushi restaurant the better the sushi...thats just a fact. read more

We have been coming to Sushi Dragon for the last 7 years. If you are looking for fresh ( not farm raised fish) , you've come to the right place !!! Tommy the owner , gets his fresh selection of fish everyday . If you're craving sushi , this is the spot !!! read more

Sushi Dragon is a cozy, non intimidating and down to Earth establishment. Master Chef Tommy knows his fish & has the over 30 years under his belt. Friendly staff and great service. You won't find fancy fusion style sushi here, none of that super saucy over priced sushi dishes. No no!! Tommy serves only fine fresh cuts in a more traditional style. He's old school, but don't let that discourage you from trying SD, b/c the best thing about this place is not just his food & service, but his personality will win you over time & again. read more

I really love this place its local and Tommy is always so nice the food is good priced and happy hour special never disappoints.... PS.the cook in the back is a Creep but other than that its chill read more

After a flight to Burbank airport, I needed to grab a late lunch and Sushi Dragon is just of the I-5 heading north. I had Nigiri - Mackerel (Norwegian, that chef Tommy had pickled), Uni, Yellowtail and Red Snapper. All top notch stuff. I'll be back! read more

FRESHEST FISH I HAVE EVER EATEN IN MY LIFE! If you actually appreciate fresh sushi, this is the only place in 10 miles that serves great sushi. I have lived in this area and eaten at many other sushi restaurants and none compare to this one. The chef Tommy is an absolute delight and he buys his fish fresh every morning. He was raised and lived the majority of his life in Tokyo and only buys the freshest fish for his restaurant. He often buys the freshest fish off the boat so be sure to ask what special items he has in stock! read more

Sushi Dragon - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sun Valley, California

The beef taste was just horrible, without the teriyaki sauce, you would think that you can taste the beef, right? Well it's wrong from this place! It tasted like an old paper and nothing like beef. And the Sashimi, every single fish, salmon, tuna, red snapper were all tasteless. ALSO SAY ROACHES RUNNING ON THE FLOOR, DO NOT! DO NOT! DO NOT! EAT HERE! read more

One of my neighbors recommended the restaurant. I needed take out for my wife's birthday because of covid 19. So I called. The restaurant owners (I guess) were super friendly and helpful. I order food for three to go and the food was delicious and prepare with care. The celebration was great thanks to them. Thanks for caring. read more

For the area it's in, it's probably the only sushi restaurant around within a 10 minute drive so it'll do for most. Their fish wasn't exactly the freshest though. The staff was nice and friendly. They seem to have regulars that go there because they greeted some customers like they knew them. We tried it for lunch based on Yelp reviews but we have no plans to go back. read more

Sushi Dragon - Lunch Special with Sashimi and Teriyaki Salmon - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sun Valley, California

See all

Sushi Dragon is a very small and cozy restaurant. Chef Tommy and staff are very friendly and talkative. Very nice place to be. Foods are fresh, plenty of variety. read more

Sushi Dragon is a hidden gem tucked away in Sun Valley (aka the last place I thought I would find good sushi). I've been growing sick of trendy places lately, and while this place offers some trendier options, it's my go-to for staples: perfectly cut sashimi, fresh fish of the day (which Tommy picks up regularly from the fish market himself), etc. Come here for some fresh, delicious traditional sushi and good conversation, guaranteed! read more

For those of us lingering somewhere between discerning novice and connoisseur, finding a sushi restaurant that we really love can be a challenge. We are not so ignorant as to consume the poor quality fare from less trustworthy establishments, yet perhaps not so refined in our taste to truly appreciate those rare master works from top sushi chefs. BUT...we do know good sushi when we taste it. Personally, I find myself at a point where I think I'm just beginning to know the difference between "good" and "great", and I found that difference at Sushi Dragon. I rarely order omakase, which means "I'll leave it to you" (from Japanese "to entrust"). I'm not yet successful enough to afford a big ticket meal every time I go out for sushi, but there are those times where it is fun to celebrate and treat yourself to something unique. Last night I let Tommy decide what kind of meal I was going to have. For me that's the highest level of trust I can give, in this context. This will probably be the only nice meal I can afford to eat this month. He did not disappoint. The meal started with a course of sashimi, cut into small squares and artfully arranged on beds of vegetables...small, precise slices of cucumber and radishes, as well as something that looked like angel hair pasta, tasted like bean sprouts, and is likely something else entirely (remember...I'm not an expert). The fish was very, very fresh, and I could tell because of the firmness. Fortunately, I enjoy it that way. Tommy explained that not all customers like to eat the freshest fish because of how firm it is. Apparently, the texture can be off-putting. Can't understand that, because it's delicious. There were three kinds of fish: tuna, mackerel, and I believe halibut. The second course was a surprise...oysters! Two oyster halves on ice in a huge, flat-bottomed bowl, with a carved lemon garnish. Did not expect that. Now, I haven't eaten oysters (much less raw oysters) in years. Not necessarily my favorite food. But I ordered omakase, and that means I turn nothing down. Good thing, too. They were fantastic. I have trouble describing the flavor and texture. Sharp, almost like horseradish, but not spicy or hot. Rich, smooth, and with a soft texture one might expect from an oyster, but not slimy. An unexpected treat. Next came another order of sashimi, this time sliced very, very thin (to the point that I have trouble recalling the fish involved), but broader pieces instead of little squares. Regardless, it was fantastic. Tommy brought this and the final course out himself, with an appropriately shallow tray of sauce. The final course was sushi...generous pieces of fish on small beds of well-prepared rice. Salmon, Spanish mackerel, giant clam, local sweet shrimp from Catalina (delicious!), tuna, sea bass, and salmon belly, which I saved for last. Please understand that it's entirely possible I am misidentifying some of this fish, as Tommy is known for throwing unconventional varieties into the mix, and I'm just not that good at differentiating yet. Needless to say, I didn't particularly care at this point...the sushi was so fresh, so tasty, and so complex that you could've thrown the sake bottle at me without breaking my concentration. At that point, Tommy came out to check on me. I complimented him on the finest sushi I'd had to date, which prompted a gracious thank-you (in Japanese...with a proper bow, no less). One of the nicest people I've encountered in Los Angeles, and certainly the nicest, most personable sushi chef I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. A consummate and relaxed professional. He then asked if I would like an additional course of Ikura (Roe...basically caviar). He explained that many Americans who aren't accustomed to the firmness of fresh fish like to have something soft as their final course. I responded that I was too full (the honest truth) to risk it, but again complimented him on the freshness and preparation of the fish. He said he chooses it himself from the market each morning, looking for that right selection for the day's menu. Again, I'm not a sushi expert. I'm just a guy who loves this particular slice of Japanese cuisine. But I can tell you this with certainty...Sushi Dragon is my favorite spot in town. The intimate, understated setting, the easy-to-miss, tucked-away location, the incredibly friendly and generous hosts, and of course the amazing sushi all contribute to what I hope has been a glowing review. I have eaten here many times, never suffered a bad experience, and have frequently had incredible ones. Words are, at times, insufficient. (Also, if you have enough room for something a bit rich, yet delicious, try the tempura cheesecake for dessert...you won't regret it.) read more

Chef Tommy is great guy and fresh fish. read more

Sushi Dragon - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sun Valley, California

Use to think I found a new spot for me but until Tommy the owner chef got mad at me for wasting the chop sticks that they give to eat because I asked for the kids ones because I have trouble with my hands to use the regular ones. He can got Fuk himself and his cheap Chopstix having the nerve to try complain to me not to waste OMG I was so mad and the sushi isn't that good either but was convenient to me and near my home. Owell his loss I eat sushi often and tip well and always bring and recommend people to eat at places I love this one. Your own fault Tommy good job. read more

What a gem of a find. Flying out of Burbank and luckily stumbled on this establishment on Yelp. I was one of two at the small sushi bar and was served by the owner/chef Tommy-San. He's a 40+ year Japanese sushi chef who gets his fish every day from the LA market. Bluefin and Toro was off the chart. The takwon toro 'takitoro' hand roll was amazing. Amaebi, uni, rockfish and seabrim were equally as good. Not a fusion roll place! It's a small venue with no koi ponds or elaborate decorations but that's not any type of issue when searching for exceptionally fresh fish. Tommy-San has trained countless chefs and they're better because of it. I'll be back with the slightest excuse to do so. read more

Sushi so good it hurt my soul. This little gem is hidden and worth the look. Make your family proud and head to the Dragon.

Love this place. The fish is always fresh. And Tommy is the sweetest. Great neighborhood spot.

My experience at Sushi Dragon was entirely unremarkable. My friend and I came here because we're both sushi fanatics, and our trip to California just would not have been complete without trying some sushi from the other side of the country. This place has four and a half stars on Yelp, so we felt pretty confident that we were in for something good. Looking back on it now, we probably should have had our first west coast sushi experience elsewhere. There wasn't anything wrong with the rolls we ordered, per se. They were covered in more sesame seeds than you might find on a sesame seed bagel, but this didn't bother me as much as it bothered my friend. We also had tempura calamari, which I enjoyed simply because it tasted like the greasy fried food that I love so much. I enjoyed the shrimp tempura handroll that I ordered as well, even though I am sure there are better ones to be had if we had gone to a sushi joint in LA instead of Burbank. Despite happy hour discounts, our bill topped out at 69 dollars, after being overcharged for a roll that we never actually ordered. Overall, my friend and I were quite disappointed that our California sushi experience didn't live up to our expectations. I guess we can only hope that we'll have better luck finding a great sushi place when we come back next year. read more

5 stars for customer service! I got delivery from here a few times and they sent me a handwritten Christmas card in the mail :) Nice people!

Looked this place up on the Yelp when I was meeting someone half way. Loved the dodgy mini mall with the barber playing loud music waiting for a head to cut. Maybe I will bring him mine I'm due... Anyway... A few weeks after I was there I called to go back and Yume remembered my name. Crazy right? My friend and I went there and had a blast. Tommy and the whole staff are as awesome as the fish. I do not go in for the rolls so much just straight up fish and it was all super good with great prices. Plus I have this thing I do at the end of a sushi meal. I ask the chef to make just one more "small" thing... Most give the fish they do not want or some big ass thing. Not Tommy - He gave us this super cool little fish. PERFECT!!! Go there and tell your friends already! read more

Went for lunch today. They have a lunch special that includes a California Roll, Chicken Teriyaki, and Tempura, with soup, salad, and rice. You get a bit of everything and they do a good job. The tables were busy, but I found a place at the bar. Another great meal and the prices are right. read more

Love this place, unassuming spot in a mini-strip mall, great food and good prices. Tommy and crew are welcoming as always - special bento box and spicy tuna hand rolls are my favorites for lunch, and all the sushi is delicious for dinner. It's small, cozy, and friendly. Do yourself a favor, pay a visit.. See you tomorrow! read more

Came here today with my best friend and I was pleasantly surprised! Outstanding food and the owner (I think? or chef) comes over and greets us and makes us feel really welcome. I'm so happy I found a great sushi place across the street from where I get my nails done. Perfect! read more

I travel to the Los Angeles area fairly frequently and was in Burbank last night. I found some good reviews on Yelp for Sushi Dragon and it was only a few miles from my hotel, so I gave it a shot. I actually missed the restaurant on the first fly by and had to do a u-turn. Sushi Dragon is a very small intimate dining establishment. I sat down at the sushi bar and was simply amazed at the interaction between the owner, Tommy and the patrons. This is obviously a place loaded with regulars whom all know Tommy and he knows all of them. The atmosphere and interaction with Tommy as he prepared the sushi was one of a kind. The sushi was awesome and the friendliness of the staff made it even better. I always look for hidden gems and this is one of those. I will make Sushi Dragon a regular stop when I am in the Burbank area. You should too. read more

Prices are outrageous.!!! I'll stick to eating sushi somewhere else!! Lunch special is ok though the actual rolls are what get you

My favorite sushi place. Always fresh. Great tempura and dinner options. Plus a happy hour menu.

I love this place so much Roxie and Tommy are the best! They are such great people customer service is amazing. The food is great too! I recommend this place! Green tea ice cream is delicious! read more

I was pleasantly surprised to find a quality sushi place in Sun Valley. I have been to Sushi Dragon four times now and Tommy, Reina, and Yumi make me feel special every time. The sushi is incredible (purchased fresh every morning by Tommy) and the atmosphere has become my personal "Cheers." It's a winning combination! read more

Incredibly average. I'm guessing the locals aren't used to good sushi. Very friendly people, below average sushi and tiny portion sizes. Terrible uni. Won't be back. Again, really nice people, but I came for sushi, not conversation. read more

I can't believe that this place is in Sun Valley. The fish is fair, not Tokyo grade. But, the price is just right. The place is small, but the staff is accommodating. Would come back and have recommended to friends and family. read more

Possibly THE best sushi experience I've ever had. I've been eating sushi for over 20 years and have never had such a great time. I found this place via Yelp and everything lived up to its expectations... and then some. I read that the service was great and that was no exaggeration. Everyone there made me feel right at home. They went out of their way to find out my name, what sushi I enjoyed and more about me. Even the other customers were extremely friendly and I hope they are there when I return. I've been to many sushi bars before but never have been treated so much like family. I give this place 5 stars just for the atmosphere and the service. I enjoy all kinds of fish and tried things for the first time there. I was never disappointed. The spicy scallop roll (one of my favorites) was the best I've ever had. Even the obscure beers they have are a treat. If I never go to another sushi bar, I'll be happy. I've found my place. read more
