Tasty & Healthy Pan-Asian

Wokano has good Japanese and Chinese food in a nice roomy restaurant. There is a lot of stone--even a waterfall--in its large space. You don't feel crowded at all. I've always had a lot of good experiences with the food and service. Generally, I go for the sushi and sashimi. Parking is a little problematic since Wokano is in downtown Burbank, but there is an hour free on the streets and a few nearby lots.

pretty good cal-asian

Kinda like PF Changs; generic California Asian stuff. The seaweed salad is perfect, and well-portioned, too. If you can't get enough of the baked scallops on the typical baked scallop sushi roll, then try the Dynamite appetizer. The hot & sour soup is also pretty good. Other than that, I've often had the Garlic Shrimp entree, which isn't bad, but was nothing to write home about. Brown or white rice available on request. There's also a back room for parties or such that seats about 20, I think.

There's sushi, Chinese fare, sangria, oh my! at this "something-for-everyone" Asian-fusion "standby" favored by "business lunch" types, happy-hour fans and "starving college students" who are "grateful" for the "quirky" but "tasty" dishes, "interesting drinks" and "comfortable", "upscale" setting; despite the occasional "disappearing" server and "shocking" noise level, most agree the package is...

Wokcano has evolved from a single Los Angeles location to a six-restaurant Southern California chain serving pan-Asian cuisine and sushi. Start with the tuna truffle pizza or Malaysian-style clams with basil and a black bean ginger sauce. Highlights from larger plates include the black pepper beef mignon and the honey walnut shrimp. The volcano roll is a flavorful combination of shrimp tempura...

Only bad thing was they were 4 little girls running around the area we were seated and they were quite loud.

The food arrived 20 mins before the scheduled time which was awesome. Everything was very fresh and arrived hot. The fried rice had a gingery flavor, it was delicious. The sushi was also very good compared to most places locally, I recommend.

Wokcano continued that winning streak with a phenomenal Happy Hour featuring a food menu broken down into Appetizers (from $2.99-$6.99), Sushi and Sashimi (from $3-$7.99), and Sushi Rolls (from $3.99-$6.99). On top of that, Wokcano features menu items from The Backhouse – its neighbor and sister restaurant offering open-fire cooking known as Yakitori with affordable small plates and skewers.

Be aware! Under the Grubhub discriptions of the dishes it states that rice soup and salad is included. So, I did not order at the end because the menu says it's included.

When I called the store to talk about it the hostess treated my communication like I was an annoying fly. And I was not even upset. Thank goodness for the manager having an IQ and a sense of professionalism. Yay Jose! ...

The best sushi I've had in the LA area. Delicious beyond belief. Their takeout is yummy, though I will say, it is the nature of rice noodles to not travel well, so pad thai is never as good in takeout as it is in the restaurant. The other noodle dishes are fantastic though. You'll love them from the first bite and be addicted before you realize what happened.

If you like Asian food, then this is the place for you. You can choose from Chinese, Thai, Japanese and possibly Korean. I think this place is a great place to bring a date if you don't mind the higher price. You're paying more for the decor/ambience here. Nice lighting, somewhat romantic. If you want cheaper price Japanese sushi, Kabuki is just down the street which is more affordable but without the romantic decor/ambience. One of my favorite at Wokcano is their chocolate dipped fortune cookie that you get at the end of your meal.

I think this place is a great place to bring a date if you don't mind the higher price. You're paying more for the decor/ambience here. Nice lighting, somewhat romantic. If you want cheaper price Japanese sushi, Kabuki is just down the street which is more affordable but without the romantic decor/ambience. One of my favorite at Wokcano is their chocolate dipped fortune cookie that you get at the end of your meal.

I can't complain too much about this place. The sushi was really good, the atmophere was romantic, and it wasn't too busy for a friday night. However, be aware that the spicy sushi platter seems to be exactly the same as the regular sushi platter only with little dots of hot sauce on top. I felt a little cheated since the spicy platter was $2 more, and I could buy my own bottle of hot sauce for that. :)

Pros

+ Good food.

Cons

- Parking is tricky. There is a lot behind Gordon Biersch, but it fills up quickly on the weekends.

Living in Burbank Village Walk since a year I haven't try Wockano before and finally went there last week. The stuff was really friendly and polite (nice hostess and friendly server), the decoration is beautiful ( specially the candle at night create a nice atmosphere) but i have been very disappointed with the food. We had a soup who was good, then some sushi (the simple one with a piece of fish and rice) who did not taste really fresh, some combination of rice (really salty), and for desert two chocolate cake (just like the one you can find at costco with a lot of chemical), we drunk two...

This place has good food, but it's a bit overpriced. I think your paying for the atmosphere, which is great. The other good thing is that the are open late. I think until 4am on weekends and 2am on weekdays.

I went to Wokcano in Burbank with my friend from the area who had raved about the atmosphere. I see what she meant...it's beautiful inside and I loved the sleek decor, very modern. Service was ok, great at the bar for my pre-meal cocktail...I forgot the bartender's name but she makes a really mean lychee martini. I would say it's pricey for an everyday lunch, but totally reasonable for dinner. I vouch for the Party Roll...forgot what's in it, but it was yummy.

Pros

+ Beautiful decor, food, drinks, open late

Cons

- Service at our table was just ok.

Great ambience!!.

Food is pretty good. Far better than a place like PF Changs...interesting drink specials that work great with the Asian theme. I had a ginger vodka martini that was a good complement to my food.

Pros

+ Asian cocktails with food

Cons

- Lettuce Wraps

HORRIBLE BARTENDER

I only gave this place 1 star, for decor. I suppose it could have potential if they restaffed (especially the mgmt). My husband and I came here last week for the first time, after hearing mixed opinions from friends. We went to the bar for dinner and drinks. WORST BARTENDER EVER. Our $10 martinis were filled halfway. I swear. Uninterested, with zero personality, she was also just downright rude, without provocation. (I waited tables when I was younger, so I try to remember my manners when dining out). This girl was more interested in drinking shots (by herself!?), and admiring her own...

Best sushi I've been to in the states

I'm quite the big sushi fan, and this place had me dazzled with the remarkable tastes and artistic work. The fish was fresh, and the number of unique rolls were enough to warrant me coming back many times. Of course I was with someone who had been there before, and she had done most of the ordering (therefore assuming she ordered the good stuff). I didn't try much else besides the sushi since sushi is my favorite food, so I can't guarantee the other foods. However, if you enjoy excellent sushi, Wokcano is definitely the place to go!!

Wokcano was fabulous!! The interior was beautiful: creating an inviting atmosphere. Service was great and the sushi was fresh. And even if you don't like sushi, it's a fusion restaurant that also offers great Chinese food. Not to mention, it has a huge lounge area with a full bar!! :D I had a great time and would definitely go back again. I highly recommend this place to everyone!

This was one of the few places open on July 4th. I wasn't expecting anything too great seeing how it was an asian restaurant in the middle of Burbank. I was VERY surprised! I tried the crispy orange chicken, honey walnut shrimp and fried rice. All were very delicious and just as good as the food at an authentic chinese restaurant. Our hostess was very courteous. Our waitress was just okay but the bus boy guys were very attentive - constantly refilling water and packing up our to go boxes and cleaning our table swiftly. The only downer is that there are no lunch specials so it's kinda pricey...

Another new restaurant in Burbank

It's amazing how many new places are popping up in Burbank, especially with the new ""no-Smoking ordinance"" in place. We went to Wokcano for lunch. The food was good, but not memorable, the service was horrible (the waitress was nice enough, but the way she moved was indicative of a person who just woke up or sleepwalking). We went at lunchtime so skipped the cocktails and opted for beer instead. Their beer on tap selection is standard. Another restaurant, among many in Burbank, would I go back? Mmm only if I were invited there for a special occasion.

Great food and Great services: We love the food and the service is great.

We can't wait to go back: The Korean Style Short Ribs are so juicy and tender, Orange Chicken is great too.

TERRIBLE SERVICE: If you are looking for a fun place to eat & drink after work, this is DEFINITLEY not the place. The staff was down right rude to us, eventhough we were a large group spending hoards of money. Basically,...

Great food, poor service: The ambiance of the restaurant was great, as long as the food. One recommendation of the place, make sure you don't get claire as the the waitress. She was so rude, and waited by our table for us...

Good fresh sushi, Nice varied fusion asian dishes: Pro: Food is really good, very flavorful and aromatic.

Great new place in Burbank!: We recently visited Wokcano and had a great time. The food was delicious and the menu had a wide variety of different Asian selections. The aromatic shrimp is a "must have.". After dinner...

I am glad it came to Burbank!: Though I live in a condo above the restaurant in downtown Burbank, I did not visit the place after it was open for a few weeks until my co-worker told me I should try it out. What a place! Cute...

Hip and Hot: We had a really good time there last Saturday night. The ambience was hip, the drinks were hot, and the bartender Dan very funny. The Kungpao chicken and Pad Thai we ordered were very good and the portions...

Never going back: Wokcano looked like a decent restaurant, from its interior to its exterior... but when it comes to the food you might as well go down the street to Kabuki and get the same type of sushi for half the...
