Yakumi

The sushi here is so fresh and delicious! Great quality and the presentation & packaging were so nice. I was pleasantly surprised by the baked crab rolls that you can choose for your box, it’s real crab and the flavor is so good! The box comes with everything you need, including some great sauces and a card to explain how to use them. I especially loved their truffle soy sauce, I even dipped the edamame in it!

Quick Summary Great food, ambiance and service. It offers the same concept as Sugarfish, but I think the quality, service and value were better. Highly recommend getting the crab hand roll (it was fantastic). Brian, the manager, was very helpful throughout and they present each dish, so it's like a fine dining experience for your fast/casual lunch/dinner Food- 5 stars Hanabi- this spicy tuna on crispy rice was good. An excellent appetizer and would be great for happy hour Yakumi combination- I got this sushi combination with the baked crab handroll and seaweed salad. The baked crab handroll was divine and I will be coming back for more. Seaweed salad was very solid as well (although my girlfriend's cucumber sunomono was slightly better for the salad option). The sashimi was fresh. Definitely recommend getting some extra truffle soy (it was so good!) Green tea mochi- very delicious dessert to end our lunch Service- 5 stars The service was solid throughout. Brian offered great recommendations for our orders and was fantastic with presenting our dishes. Excellent service is an understatement; he was simply fantastic Ambiance- 5 stars Outdoor and indoor dining available. We stayed indoors because it was a bit chilly, and it's a cool ambiance. Well ventilated, well lit, and mainstream music selection. Enjoyed the experience throughout Bottom Line Great food, drinks and service. The baked crab handroll is a must and try to get some truffle soy!

I've been here a few times with my daughter and my bff. This time, I came for dinner with the hubby. He loved it! The best sushi place in town and quality of the food is superb! The staff is very nice and accommodating. The owner, Nicholas, is a great guy. If he's there when you go, tell him that I sent you!

I recently tried takeout from a sushi spot, and it was really good! The sushi was fresh and tasty, even better than some other places like Sugarfish. I especially loved the truffle oil and spicy mayo—they gave everything a nice extra flavor. The fish was super fresh, and the rice was just right. Definitely a great spot for a casual sushi fix!

This place serves amazing sushi in a decent price. Both inside and outside seatings are super nice. Bamboo reflections just made me felt like I’m in Japan (despite the heat tho!) The COMBINATIONS are the most valuable sets judging from what you get and their price. I suggest going for Yakumi Plus to try everything, including extra rolls and edamame. Sashimi quality is very impressive. They have generous wasabi, soy sauce and ginger as companions too. Rice is seasoned to match with type of fish on the sushi - SO GOOD! Dessert is actually a MUST-TRY here. Both mochi icecream and cheesecake are just amazing. One parking tip from me is to go early. There were few spaces in front of the restaurant and you can pull right in if you go early. There are more street parking along Maple otherwise.

Yakumi Sushi - Burbank's Bite-Sized Gem Tucked into Riverside Drive, Yakumi is the kind of fast-casual sushi spot that punches way above its weight. The Studio Roll Box was a standout--crunchy, spicy, and topped with a sauce that deserves its own fan club. I kicked things off with the off-menu Sunset Roll, which was so light and refreshing | ordered it twice. Bonus points for the cucumber and seaweed salad sides that added a crisp contrast. The vibe? Chill and welcoming, with a sleek indoor space and a patio that glows at night. Service was warm and efficient--Steven, the manager, even gave us the lowdown on specials. Pro tip: If you're on a lunch break, their "To Go" window is a lifesaver. Fresh fish, thoughtful combos, and a dash of neighborhood charm--Yakumi's got it all. I'll definitely be back, maybe next time with my camera rolling and the customer service is top notch in every way da Von and Taylin are amazing at what they do.

Was in the neighborhood craving sushi and came across this establishment via maps search. exceeded expectations! It was happy hour so rolls were 20% and great cocktails $5. Baked crab and crunchy roll, cucumber salad were standouts.

Fantastic experience. Cute and modern design, great for a date. Their sushi collection has unique taste particularly in combination with truffle soy sauce. The servers were nice and welcoming. They accommodated all of my requests with excellence and the entire experience was smooth.

Stumbled upon this place looking for somewhere to eat on my hour-long lunch break. Ordered the $29 Yakumi special which came with 2 rolls, sashimi, cucumber salad and edamame. Great amount of food for the price but what truly blew me away was the quality of the fish. Rivaled many well-known fancy sushi spots out in LA. Service was friendly, and when the waiter noticed I hadn’t finished my food by the end of the meal, he gave me a bag full of everything I needed to eat on the go, including a little tray for the soy sauce. The interior of the restaurant is very modern and cool. Loved the wall murals. Will definitely be back!

Had the Dinela box (prefix nigiri, 2 choice cut rolls - I got spicy salmon and yellowtail jalapeño, cucumber salad, edamame) which included a mango lychee cocktail. Service was quick, we got lucky and parked in their first space. Fast and friendly service, came out to about $30/person with tip, would definitely come back!

2025: I returned a year later and things weren't as good. The food was still delicious but the table was sticky. The waitress was nice but she assumed I wanted to order takeout when I wanted to dine-in. 2024: I had the baked crab roll, the California roll and the salmon sushi. Everything was very good, especially the salmon sushi.

Ashley Lauren

My favorite sushi place in the LA area. The food is always consistent and the service is always amazing. Chef Steve ,Rory and the rest of staff do a great job of being consistent. The customer service is always exceptional. The Studio box is my favorite and their drinks are good too! I always sit on the patio and the atmosphere is great. The music is not too loud. I typically come during my baby’s nap time and leave her in the stroller. Highly recommend you try this place.

Amazing experience at Yakumi! Staff was 10/10. Very warm, friendly, and proactive. Food 9/10. Their salmon nigiri is delicious. I could eat thousands of them. They have pre-set menu options that serve as a good base order. You can also order everything a la carte. Great outdoor seating. Street parking up front. Look forward to next round! Great outdoor patio/covered open air area. Dog friendly! Second visit after some time away…still awesome. Wonderful, and warm staff! Food is delicious. There is also a 20% off happy hour on rolls. Parking is available street side, just might take a little patience. Hope to be back soon!

It's a cute place for basic sushi. Parking is not too terrible on the streets. Sushi tastes pretty good. The drinks are really good, even though they have a very limited selection. It almost feels like a pop up shop with the limited menu. Kind of on the expensive end for basic sushi.

We enjoyed our meal here very much. 😋 The food was very fresh and tasty. 🍣 The atmosphere was clean and open. We would have given it five stars but we all decided that the "order at the counter" for the price of the food wasn't our fav feature - When at higher priced restaurants, it's much nicer to have a waitress come take your order instead of standing in line at a counter.

Cold kitchen Sushi Restaurant with Friendly service. Everyone there was very nice and the restaurant was inviting and clean. There is outdoor seating available. When ordering a sushi roll, you only get about 4 pieces (small portions). I tried the baked crab, spicy tuna, and California roll. I also had edamame (cold and nearly unsalted) and a mixed green salad (I suggest requesting a little more dressing on it). The menu was small and they ran out of regular sized drinking straws so we had to use short straws with tall glasses. Despite those super small issues, the food was good, fresh and reasonably priced. The employees were pleasant and super accommodating. I’d return.

Had Yakumi at terminal three inside LAX. Loved the product and packaging. The fish was fresh and rolls good. Had multiple dipping sauces and overall good product. I would buy again.

7-1-21: Came here for dinner and was pleasantly surprised. For sushi, they organize the menu with four different combinations to make ordering easier. You get edamame, a salad and two rolls with the combo. Good drink selection. I ordered the combo with hamachi, albacore, salmon (2 pieces each) and one 🦐 nigiri. And got the cucumber salad, hamachi roll and 🦀 roll. I had a Japanese pale ale that was very good. Light and crispy. You order first and then sit down. Outdoor seating was very nice. I was surprised that the nigiri was so small and thin. The freshness was OK. These were both disappointing to me and why I didn't rate five ⭐.

Delicious sushi and very affordable. That said, I’m torn on the value. It feels like a 'cheap but good' setup that might be cutting corners on labor to keep prices down. I’d love to see this place succeed by valuing their employees as much as they value their ingredients.

To-go service needs to be more accurate. I ordered on the website for a pick-up. I placed my order at 1pm for pick-up at 1:30 pm. I received a text stating it would be prepared by 1:35 pm at the latest. I arrived at 1:30 pm and waited until 1:50 for my food even though the link in the text said that my food was ready much earlier. Staff was generally in no hurry to serve me or offer any info on the status of my order. Others in the restaurant were also becoming impatient and asking for their dine-in orders to go because service/food was so slow/late. The food was good so I do give them points for that. My biggest complaint is simply that I ordered online to-go so that I could better plan my lunch time but instead ended up wasting the majority of that time waiting for my food.

during DineLA, where the special was $25.00 (normally $29.00) and included an appetizer and two rolls. Here’s where I think they overcharged me: they ask if you want real crab because they know they usually use imitation crab. I said yes, and the only other extra I ordered was spicy tuna. Even so, my bill went from $25.00 to $45.79 before the tip. I believe they overcharged me. This was my first and last visit. If the person taking your order doesn’t even know if the food contains crab, it makes me very suspicious. As for the service, it was non-existent. I waited 1 hour and 30 minutes, and no one offered me more water or cleared the dirty dishes. I ended up eating next to the empty edamame shells the whole time.
