I have officially found my favorite sushi spot in the valley! I was going to gate keep this place but, I decided I had to share my review for this amazing place. My boyfriend and I were across the street at Fantasia watching a World Cup came, and after we were craving hand rolls, when he spotted Toro Sushi Poke House. We took a look at their menu which was displayed on the outside. The prices were really affordable, so we just had to try it, and were so glad we did because this was one of the most affordable and delicious nigiri and hand roll experiences we've had! The place itself is small and intimate. They have a bar area and few tables inside and a small outdoor seating as well. When we entered we were greeted by our friendly waiter, and seated immediately. It was pretty empty around 5 pm on a Friday, which was convenient because we didn't have to wait for a table. I'm not sure how packed this place normally gets, but it was also the long holiday weekend, so that might be why. We started off with the fatty tuna nigiri. For $6 you get two big pieces, which is so affordable, and the quality was amazing! We then each got the 6 piece hand roll set which came with a spicy tuna, scallop, yellow tail, crab, salmon, and toro. I'm not a fan of scallops, so I switched it out with a yellow tail roll. The fish was top quality and delicious. I cannot wait to come back here and stuff my face again! read more

Before we even walked in, the first thing that caught our eye was the sign showing that this restaurant won Burbank's Best 2026. I've visited several times before, but today the service was truly exceptional. The owner personally came to our table to greet us and served each of our dishes, which made the experience feel warm and welcoming. The fish was incredibly fresh and delicious. The baked salmon and crab roll was excellent and much larger than I expected, which was definitely a pleasant surprise! The chicken udon was flavorful and generously packed with chicken. To top it all off, the takoyaki arrived fresh, hot, and perfectly prepared. Overall, the combination of outstanding service, fresh ingredients, and generous portions made for a wonderful dining experience. read more

Parking: There's a public parking structure nearby to park in. It can fill up pretty quickly during peak hours. If not there is a couple of spots for street parking here and there. 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. read more

I've been here multiple times, and it never, ever disappoints! Toro Sushi Poke House is hands down my absolute favorite spot. The fish is incredibly fresh, the portions are super generous, and the flavors are always spot on. Whether you're grabbing a customizable poke bowl or diving into their specialty sushi rolls, you can taste the quality in every single bite. The staff is always so welcoming and friendly, making the whole dining experience even better. If you haven't tried this place yet, you are seriously missing out. 10/10 highly recommend! read more

My friend and I were here on 7.13.26 for lunch. I had a great experience, first service here was FANTASTIC... why? Because before we even set foot in the restaurant, we were just outside looking at their menu board and specials and the lovely lady came out and asked if we have any questions!! How nice is that? Anyways, as a matter of fact we did, we saw another sign near the menu board of their $9.99 Monday Special!! Of course it is on, and we went in to eat, we sat at the bar area, I have to say it is a small place (cozy), there was seating outside too, but it was hot. As we were seated, our server got us nice cold water and gave us the menu. I got the special with the Poke. It was good, lots of rice though and I believe not sure if he's the owner or manager but he asked if everything was good and he noticed I finished all the top part, with rice left and mentioned maybe he may add salad to the menu...my friend and I agree. I would love to try more of their food next time. read more

I just wanted a little poke. Not the gourmet bar experience While awesome it is usually expensive. I just want a little bite to satisfy my fish craving. Greeting at the door first class first class lady first class Service first class attitude For starters, the menu was simple easy to grasp Mild music, calm atmosphere Asian cooking show on the TV that was muted thank God For starters, my saki was piping hot! I can't stand Sami that comes out cool. I love it when it's so hot. I can hardly touch it and it was. Id return just for that alone! Had a poke bowl my only complaint if there is one , is that the poke bowl was a little light on quantity If you're hungry, I would recommend adding a protein or two. And in hindsight, I should've asked if it was on a bed of rice or greens as I would've chosen greens over the rice ( carb sensitive ) I felt a little hungry, so I ordered some seaweed salad and some edamame I got to walk back to the hotel with a small buzz, feeling satiated without being stuffed at a reasonable price 1/3 what I spend at a sushi bar! Seems to be family run based on the service. ( I wanted. To take the waitress home ) So sweet. read more

Toro Sushi & Poke House has quickly become a go-to for our family. We've been for both lunch and dinner, and every time the food is very fresh, flavorful, beautifully prepared and there is something for everyone. The signature rolls (especially the rainbow and the terminator) are standouts, and the hand rolls are awesome too. They have delicious poke bowls where you can choose from a wide variety of fresh ingredients. The ramen is also extremely tasty. Definitely get an order of the jalapeño poppers! They're insanely good and I don't know where to find a dish quite like this anywhere else in LA. The sake selection is solid (I tried the sparkling sake yesterday and really loved), and prices are very reasonable for the quality. The space is comfortable whether you're sitting at the counter or at a table. There is a beautiful mural all along one wall. There is also patio seating available. The location is easy with convenient parking. Highly recommend. This place is doing everything right! read more

I have been to this spot a few times now and I love all the rolls here (the ones I've tried so far). The dragon roll is my favorite! The poke bowl is also great. Everything I've had so far tasted very good and the quality is !! For the quality the price is pretty reasonable. The indoor has a quaint but great ambiance and very clean, which is a plus for me! The servers are friendly and very helpful and the owners are super nice too. If you're in the neighborhood it's a must try! read more

First time visiting this establishment and had such a great experience. The owner, Albert, and his staff were very welcoming and attentive to my needs. My favorite was the bay scallop nigiri, had to get a hand roll of it after trying it. Place is cozy and a nice way to get away from the crowds. Will be returning soon! read more

Wow! Love Toro Sushi! We were visiting the Burbank area for the weekend and this place happened to be close to our hotel. The hostess was very welcoming. The WC game was on, which was a bonus! We ordered shrimp tempura, a few rolls, ramen, and poke. My son said that was the best shrimp tempura he's ever had- and he's picky- I had to agree! Fish fresh, food delicious. He wanted to go back the following day, but they were closed because of the holiday. It's a cozy, friendly spot with excellent food. Price worth it in my opinion. read more

A cozy, family-run spot with super fresh fish and genuinely friendly staff. I'm always greeted the same warm way whether I'm dining in or grabbing takeout. Everyone here is so sweet and really makes sure you're comfortable and taken care of. I've tried the Omakase Set B as well as their poke bowls--both were delicious and very fresh! My only small critique is with the omakase sets. For Sets B and C, you get two pieces of each fish, so my Set B came with eight pieces total but only four types of fish. When I order omakase, I'm hoping for more variety, so I wish they offered eight different pieces instead of duplicates. It feels a bit misleading to call it omakase as it is now. Other than that, I really enjoy this place and will definitely keep coming back! read more

Such an amazing service and such good food! 10/10!! The workers there are so kind and the food comes so fresh and clean! My favorite sushi place in burbank! read more

Sometimes you want to satisfy your sushi fix with cheap and easy sushi from the market, and sometimes you want to empty your bank account for a high end omakase experience. Toro Sushi is neither of those things in the best way. It won't break the bank and the quality of the food provides great value for your hard-earned money. I went with my wife and little one, and we got three rolls (Rainbow, Alaskan, Terminator) and the salmon collar. The rolls were great (get the Terminator if you like things spicy!), but the salmon collar was probably my favorite of the evening. Our server had told us when we ordered it that it would take longer because it needed to be cooked properly, and sure enough it was the last dish to arrive but the wait wasn't too bad and it was worth it. The dressed salad with avocado, edamame, pineapple, etc., went really well with the nice, fatty salmon. The ambiance was cozy, and we appreciated the little details that made the overall experience pleasant. For example, my wife had some tea and kept mentioning how pretty she thought the cup was. Anyway, if you're craving good quality sushi at a reasonable price, stop by and support this local small business! read more

Good service and Poke portions were generous. I will definitely eat here again. Owner was nice and wife was helpful in helping me decide on what is good. read more

This is hands down one of the best sushi spots I've found in Los Angeles. The fish is exceptionally fresh, you can immediately taste the quality. The sashimi is outstanding, the poke bowls are flavorful and generously portioned, and everything feels carefully prepared rather than rushed. What really sets this place apart is the combination of quality and value. For the level of freshness you're getting, the prices are honestly unheard of in LA. You're getting top-tier fish without the inflated "trendy sushi" pricing. On top of that, the owners are genuinely some of the kindest, most welcoming people I've met. You can tell they truly care about their food, their customers, and their business, it shows in every detail. If you want to support a local, family-run spot and at the same time enjoy excellent sushi that overdelivers for the price, this is absolutely the place to go. I can't recommend it enough! read more

Great sushi and fast, friendly service. I highly recommend. We ordered a dragon roll and rock shrimp tempura roll. Each were very flavorful. read more

I love love love toro sushi :3 my boyfriend had been coming here since before we were together and then put me on. Since we've been together for 4 years now, we've become toro sushi regulars. Here's why... For starters, the food is obviously what matters most to folks at restaurants, and they do not fall short in taste or quality. I am not a huge sushi eater, but from the 7ish rolls I've tried, I find myself going back to order the same ones that I really like (oceans special roll, & classic spicy tuna and crunchy California rolls). The sushi prices are very fair, especially for their simpler rolls. I am more of a ramen lover & always get their veggie shio ramen. Their non-veggie ramens also look very appetizing & my boyfriend and family members love the tonkotsu as well. The ramen prices are very fair and affordable compared to average prices of ramen nowadays. The poke is also very delicious. It tastes very fresh compared to other poke places I've tried. I like the options and the serving size is just right. It can be pricier than some other options but I think it's because of the quality, so I don't mind. Finally, my favorite appetizer here is the spicy edamame. I order this at most ramen/japanese restaurants I go to, and this is by far my favorite!! (literally drooling thinking about it omg) The vibes are very friendly, their main waitress (I think her name is "Fel"?) is always so so nice and makes you feel at home. Their newer managers (they've been managing the place for a few years now) are Albert and Angie. I absolutely love them and they are always checking in on us and ready to strike up friendly conversation. They enjoy getting to know their customers, but especially returning or regular customers. I think it makes the experience feel very communal and keeps us wanting to go back, aside from the food. Overall, a nice family own business with great service, clean presentation, and quality food. I'd give it a try over the chain restaurants nearby because they really have heart and passion for their business and they are truly a gem! read more

This place is under new management and ownership, and honestly, I have nothing but great things to say. I used to avoid getting sushi here because the vibes weren't it, but ever since the new ownership took over, everything has changed. The food is amazing--so fresh and delicious. It's truly a little gem in the middle of downtown Burbank. What I love most is how much they genuinely care about their customers. They always remember that I have dietary restrictions, and they even went out of their way to get a soy-sauce alternative that works for me. That alone is a 10-star experience in my book. The sushi is affordable, you're not paying for fillers, and the quality is top-tier. You can literally see how fresh the fish is--the tuna is that perfect red color it should be. That's how you know it's fresh. If you're looking for a great sushi spot with amazing food, great service, and people who truly care, this is the place. Try it once and you'll keep coming back--just like me. read more

There are a LOT of sushi restaurants in this very small area if shops and eateries. So glad we walked the block out to find Toro. It's small and you could almost miss it. But DONT! Started with the sumomono salad and cold Sho Chiku saki. It was just what I hoped. Perfectly sliced and dressed. The quality of fish was immediately noticeable. They have a large section of rolls that are always half price. Ordered the salmon belly. It was so creamy and fresh. Also. Had the crunchy California roll--I will always order this! Spicy tuna were both perfect. At the end I ordered a miso soup. Sadly it was a bit bland. Not sure if it had anything to do with how tasty the sushi was, but I was a bit disappointed. Will definitely visit again. read more

Amazing service! Employees were very kind. It's a very clean restaurant with great food. I totally recommend this place.

Yummy food and great service! I got edamame and cucumbers. Thank you for the tea, you are so kind!!!!

This is a great little find, I stress "little". Solid happy hour menu. Good service, but the place is pretty small and the bathroom is around the corner (that is kinda weird...). Overall it is sweet as and if we are in the area we would go again. read more

I ordered an Eel bowl and I thought it was pretty good. If I were to order it again I might pay extra to add more eel to it.

New management uses the best quality fish and ingredients for the price - would definitely recommend when in Burbank. I've also brought family from out of town and they are always very impressed. I love that they also have rice and noodles options so that my baby also has something to eat since we haven't introduced raw fish yet. Sake and beer are always so good. Our favorites on the menu are: salmon skin roll, yuzu roll, dynamite, seared burbank There's always parking in the lot on orange grove ave. read more

This place was such a great surprise. A friend had recommended it for high-quality sushi, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. I was told they use some of the freshest ingredients around--even compared to a lot of the so-called "authentic" sushi spots in LA--and I could really taste the difference. While I was chatting with the owner, I found out they actually switched ownership earlier this year. The new owners decided to step things up by sourcing ingredients from one of the best suppliers in the area, and it really shows in the food. I started with the yellowtail sashimi, which came with yuzu wasabi and a touch of salt. It was so flavorful I didn't even reach for soy sauce once. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the shaved radish added a nice layer of texture and depth. Next, I ordered a selection of nigiri. Each piece was super fresh and had its own distinct flavor--some topped with soy sauce, some with yuzu wasabi, and others just lightly salted. Everything was nicely balanced, and the rice was at the perfect temperature. None of the nigiri had any fishy smell, and they all just melted in my mouth. Service was excellent, too. The owners were friendly and clearly passionate about what they're building here. They've already started to feel like part of the community, and it shows in the atmosphere. This has definitely become my new favorite sushi spot, and I'm really looking forward to coming back. read more

Sometimes you stumble on a place that doesn't feel like it's trying too hard. It just gets it right. That's how Toro Sushi Poke House in Burbank felt to me. From the second I walked in, the energy was casual but warm. The kind of spot where the staff greets you quickly, not in a scripted way, but with that easy friendliness that makes you relax a little. It's the sort of atmosphere that says, "Yeah, you can hang out here without overthinking it." Toro's menu isn't overwhelming, but it has plenty to keep you curious. Poke bowls, sushi rolls, and a handful of little extras give you space to experiment. And here's the kicker. They run half off deals on certain items all day. That's not one of those fine print, two hour window gimmicks. It's just there, ready for you. Who doesn't smile at a deal like that? If you're someone who loves to build your own poke bowl, you'll appreciate the options. Fresh fish, crisp toppings, and sauces that hit the right notes. It all feels like they took some care without making it fussy. I'll admit it. I'm not the biggest sushi aficionado. But the poke bowl I tried made me stop mid bite and nod. Fresh fish, a balance of flavors, and that clean, satisfying finish you want from a lighter meal. It didn't try to be overcomplicated. Instead, it just tasted good. Simple as that. Honestly, that's what you want sometimes. A meal that doesn't weigh you down but still feels complete. The kind of food you can grab at lunch and still have enough energy to power through the rest of the day. Or take it slow and linger over for dinner. Here's the thing. Toro doesn't scream for attention. It's not covered in neon or blasting music. It's more of a "if you know, you know" kind of spot. And that makes it feel like a hidden gem. Burbank has no shortage of food choices, but this one stands out for being approachable. You can swing by on your lunch break or bring a friend for a laid back dinner. Either way, you'll get a meal that leaves you feeling good, not just full. If you're in Burbank and craving something fresh, easy, and friendly, Toro Sushi Poke House is worth a stop. It's casual enough for a quick bite and welcoming enough for a sit down. Plus, with those half off deals, it's tough not to feel like you've scored a little win. Sometimes a meal is more than just food. It's how a place makes you feel. Toro left me with a smile, and honestly, that's reason enough to go back. read more

I haven't visited Toro Sushi in some time. Was craving a poke bowl, so I stopped in. Was greeted by the owners promptly. Nice to be remembered when you haven't been in in awhile. Started with the California roll. Was okay. The crab didn't have a lot of taste. I did like the side of ginger that tasted like it was freshly cut. Next came the poke bowl. I had the albacore, salmon and spicy tuna. I asked for salad and sushi rice for the base. Then topped it with seaweed salad, onion crisps, and edamame. Also, had tge ponzu sauce. Overall the poke bowl was large, filling and delicious. I need to return again, but not wait so long between visits. read more

Great Sushi - Poke place in Burbank; Midwesterner that always goes out of his way to visit when nearby! Six years ago an introduction to Poke and now the measuring stick by which all others are judged (for fresh fish and ingredients). Fast forward, the current service and staff is excellent. My family had a great visit and tried many menu items (all great). The place is small so can be busy in prime times, but off-hours and take-out are good options too! The "Poke House" in my opinion! read more

Stopped off here for lunch. Location wise, it's great as it's along the main strip. There's plenty of street parking as well as parking structure near by. We sat outside which was a couple of tables along the sidewalk. Indoor seating as well of course. Not quite sure if there's seating at the sushi bar since we never went inside. What caught our attention was the half off sushi. Not sure it's it's happy hour or it's all all day thing. You have the usual, nigiri sushi and some rolls that was on the half off menu. The also had combos which was quite nice for the price. We opted for the hand roll combo and omakase meals. Hand roll combo came with six. Sushi combo came with 10 piece, either salmon or tuna sashimi, edamame and 2 hand roll. Sushi was quite good as well as the rolls. Fish was fresh which was a good thing. Pieces of sushi was quite decent size as you think for half off it couldn't be that big as well as quality. Everything was really nice and tasty. Service and staff was quite nice. Friendly and very helpful. Also, beer was half off which was a good touch to the meal. read more
