Not the best sushi in Burbank

This place is alright, but it's way too expensive for the quality of sushi you get. The sticky rice on the rolls just fall apart. The tuna they use just isn't that good either. Hot tea here isn't complimentary, so be prepared to pay extra for that.

I've been a customer from the day they opened their doors. The chirashi bowl is the best. I only wish they served Omakase. All of the food is served fresh and in slightly larger than the normal serving sizes. Even though they are located in...an underwhelming strip mall, once you pass through the doors all doubts vanish.

Even though this place is a short distance from our home, we've passed on trying it for several years. Maybe it's the unappealing outward appearance. We finally gave it a shot. The yellowtail sashimi was't bad. The eel sushi and crunchy shrimp tempura roll didn't...excite and the cucumber salad lacked freshness. A little pricey for the selections. Don't think Sushi Dake can compete with...

A hidden gem! We were frequent patrons of Nippon on Riverside, but when it closed and reopened as Kobosu, we weren't so impressed and thought we'd never find a cozy sushi bar with welcoming proprietors until we went to Sushi Dake last night.

I stopped by Sushi Dake for lunch today. It was my first visit. It’s a small place, in a shopping center. I ordered salmon, tuna and albacore sushi and a spicy tuna cut roll. The food and service were good. It’s not the kind of...place that’s going to “knock your socks off” but it was fine for lunch. The prices were within reason.

Salmon is amazing here, with a homey interior and kind service (they remember you if you've been there before!). The sushi rice is the only fault here- too crumbly and clumpy- but their fish was excellent, and fair prices. Happy to go back in a heartbeat.

Pretty Good

The food is good - especially for Burbank - and the service is relly warm and friendly. It's just a little too expensive for what you get. The restaurant itself is a bit cramped and dark - unless it's the late afternoon and then the sun is beaming throu

Hidden gem in a small, very unassuming (read "classic" American) strip-mall in sun-baked Burbank. You'd struggle to spot this bolt-hole. As the name gives away this is a sushi bar. Very basic but very authentic.

Fascinating creations by sushi chef - I had an Oishi Roll - mixture of crab, tuna, salmon, white fish and avocado,, wrapped with a cucumber. Oishi means delicious, and it was! Also saw a roll called "Love" with spicy tuna and some other fish, wrapped...with tuna on the outside. Beautiful. Very fresh fish, clean, with good service. Not fancy, in a strip mall, but a real find.

After living within a mile of this place for 5 years, we tried Sushi Dake for the 1st time on Saturday night and just loved it! Loved the atmosphere, the rolls were awesome and the owners made us feel at home. Try the Sashimi salad but its BIG and probably best to share with 3 or 4 people. Also loved the spicy albacore with garlic roll. Another killer Sushi joint hidden in strip mall. Don't wait 5 years to try this place!

sushi is not as fresh/good on the weekends, the sushi we got at Dake was
very poor. I ordered an assortment of nigiri-2 Tuna's, 2 Salmons,
snow crab, shrimp and an order of Toro. When I ordered the Toro sushi,

It is no Nozawa or Sasabune, but it is pretty good utilitarian sushi when you need a fix. Good prices, nice service, however it is stuck in kind of a junky strip mall.

We try to go to Dake at least once a week. You are made to feel very welcome, and the food and service are very good. We love many of the specialty rolls, but the nigiri is so fresh and wonderful it stands on its own. We really like the collars on the appetizer menu. This family-run (I assume) restaurant goes to great lengths to make you feel like family after awhile. They have shared their special sake, health secrets, and recommendations for pets with us. We recently went in to celebrate the purchase of our first home, they sensed our excitement - asked about it - and rewarded us...

As neighborhood sushi joints in mini-malls go, this one is pretty darn excellent. Definitely not traditional, as the items of choice are the rolls - the more elaborate, the better. But still tasty, and rather cheap for what they're offering.
