Tokyoya Sushi in Burbank

I really loved the sushi at Tokyoya Sushi. Ive gotten a couple different specialty rolls and love them both! We also split some sake that was very delicious. If youre looking for some really great sushi Tokyoya is a must. I highly recommend and would love to come back.

I always passed by and didn’t think about stopping in… but once I did…. I was sold! Such Wonderful service. Fresh seafood! 3 way uni was insane! Everything was great! Love this small place! The sushi chefs are very nice, the girls working there are super sweet! Dian was our kind waitress and she was so friendly and attentive! This place is a very clean and cozy spot. It’s definitely a gem in Burbank !

Let me start off with the most positive thing about this place: the food! Which is what you want to hear when you go to a restaurant, right? Good food. In this case, good sushi. Really good sushi at an affordable price.I strongly recommend the Cucumber wrap. That crunch and savoriness of the fish... hits! And the ex-girlfriend, unless you dont like little fried onions.What you skip: the baked scallop roll. It just wasnt it for me. Wasnt horrible, but eating everything else.... felt lacking.Okay, the not so good part of this place: the service. I will preface this with they do have a help wanted sign outside their door. And don they need it. I dont think its entirely the lack of staff.After waiting 20-25 minutes being seatee and asking if there was a list to put our names on, one of the wait staff came over and asked the billion of us outside waiting to be seated if he added our names to the list. Like, dude, really? Whatever. We quickly made work with the menu because we hungry but had to wait almost another 10 minutes to have someone our order, which we wrote out because we had all the time in the world. Fine, whatever. Then I started noticing people that came in after us getting served before us. Which is a not a pleasant thing for a hungry, paying customer to see. On top of which, when our dishes started coming out, they would forget things. Hmmm.Now, Ive been to some places that were short staffed but the staff that was there was on it. Perhaps to each their own.We did notice while that take out and delivery orders got preferential treatment.Now, a Friday night might not be the best night to dine with the shortage of staff, the long wait and the inconsistency of service, but take out seems to be a winner.

Oh my goodness! I have found my go-to sushi spot in the valley!! Went here for dinner with a friend and was so impressed with the quality of the fish. So much so that I came back the following night by myself!! The main chef is amazing, staff is great, and restaurant was clean!Very much highly recommend!!

Nice sushi restaurant, good food,clean and good service. The parking is kind of small but we got a space easily because it’s afternoon past lunch and weekdays.

Good Sashimi, very small portion, pricey. I ordered salmon yuzu w/ truffle oil. Six pieces of salmon 3/4” x 1-1/2” x 3/16”, nice presentation. For approximately 2-3 oz of sushi @ $19, at 3oz that’s $100/lb.I thought the portion was miserly. I should have gone to a seafood restaurant. Sorry I didn’t take a picture. Typical restaurant pricing is 1/3 food cost, 1/3 labor, 1/3 profit. It took minutes to eat it was so small. This was just a micro appetizer. I was still hungry, Not worth ordering more, so I went across the street to Summer Buffalo to eat.

Wonderful place to get high quality and delicious sushi. The blue crab hand roll is mild but very tasty, and the mackerel and huge Hokkaido scallop Nigris are my go tos. Highly recommend you try out Tokyoya! :)

Solid local sushi spot in the Glendale/Burbank corridor. Friendly service and quaint little atmosphere.

This place was an unexpected surprise. My friend wanted to come for her birthday. The first thing I thought was strip mall sushi? Ill go back! Great food priced right and the service was perfect. Parking can be challenging as the lot is small but definitely worth the trip. Dont let the strip mall fool you! Get in there and have some good sushi!The roles were really good too!

3.5 stars. Based on what we ordered. Grilled chicken bento and grilled chicken with spicy sauce including tempura with steamed rice and a couple pieces of veggie sushi. Along with a portion of salad and sides. In addition we had 2 bulgagi. Dinners with same tempura and fried chicken. This was good, however the rest of the dishes was okay. was as they say, nothing to write home about.As always, please post wherever your palate takes you in, in this case, Burbank.
