Anaba Sushi

We had an amazing experience from start to finish at Anaba sushi! This restaurant has a really nice ambience, helpful friendly staff, fast service and the freshest most delicious sushi I've had in a long time! The waitress suggested the tiger stripe sushi so my husband tried that and said it was incredible and melts in your mouth like butter. I had the spicy tuna crispy rice and it was amazing. We shared a Malibu roll and it was so flavorful we didn't dare change the flavor profile with soy sauce. It was just amazing as is! Incredible value for incredible fresh sushi. We will be back!

**Rating with a small child**My 4 year old and I came here on a weekday evening and were pleased how empty it was. We go to many sushi places together and he always orders the same things - tamago sushi, karage chicken, edamame - so I was hoping for a quick in/out dining experience. The ambiance was cozy - my kid likes to sit at the sushi counter and he loved the money tree.My son ordered lemonade, but when it came out, he said it tasted weird. I tried it, and it definitely came watered down / not good, so we returned it and got sprite instead. Oh well.The edamame came out fast, but the rest of our order took a while, despite there only being about 3 other tables. The chicken was... bland... it wasn't the usual karage that we are so used to, this was just crispy bland chicken. It came with a sauce which helped, but karage normally doesn't need to be dipped in sauce.My scallop dynamite roll was okay. It wasn't anything to rave about and it was to be expected. A little expensive for what it was, but I think that's market price.We were starting to feel quite full when my kid said "where's my tamago?" You're right - where is that tamago?! I asked the server and he checked the back, and said it was coming. But it still took another 15mins to finally get our order. We were so full, he could only eat one piece, but he said it was good. We boxed up the rest of our food and called it a night. Our waitress was kind and gave my son complimentary ice cream which was a nice gesture.Overall, food is nothing to rave about and service for a weeknight was slow. It was an average experience, and totally acceptable with a child.

I have been here twice and it is now my favorite sushi spot in my area. It is a tiny restaurant with a few tables and a sushi counter. It is a special spot as many regulars go there. The selection of sushi rolls is plentiful. My husband who doesn't eat sushi loved their chicken teriyaki. He mentioned that the chicken breast was fresh and not overly cooked. He enjoyed it and is looking forward to trying the Udon soup choices they have. I would recommend the edamame with garlic, which is very good. There is only one server but it is worth the wait. I haven't gone when it was super busy like others I have. Just remember there are not many tables and it is a very small place. However, I think it is worth the wait. Great hospitality and excellent sushi.

Love the environment! Richie & Margaret always make sure our dinner is amazing. Anaba Sushi was recommended to me 6 years ago and I have been coming here since. Some of my favorites are the Oh Baby handroll, Foothill Roll, Salmon carpaccio and Tuna Tostadas. Please have patience when coming here as Richie is the only chef I have always recommended this place! Must try

Delicious sushi. The uni was perfectly prepared and they had quail eggs! First time trying fatty tuna and it was so tasty.Definitely coming back to try more of their creations.

I'm so glad my husband and I found this hole in the wall sushi spot. Hands down the best sushi I've ever had. The sushi chef is beyond talented. I'm going to be craving it every week

Anaba perfectly lives up to its name! It truly is a hidden gem. Ritchie takes pride in the quality of the fish he serves. Always fresh and generous portions. The restaurant is always filled with regulars, if you're new I'd suggest arriving early. Some of the negative reviews on complain about wait time. But I assure you that if your order takes a bit longer than you expect, it is because everything is prepared to order. Nothing is made in advance. For non-traditional items I would recommend: Kanapachi (Amber Jack) Hamapeño (Yellowtail with a yuzu/serrano sauce) I typically only order Nigiri, but the specialty rolls that I have tried over the years have been fantastic. In closing... I am of two minds about this place. I both want to see Anaba to continue to thrive. But I also don't want it to get so popular that I can't get a seat!

Try the sweet shrimp, mackerel when in season and the hamapeño. This sushi restaurant never disappoints, the best sushi in the SGV. The owners are the best & it's has a vibe.

Still the same words for this lovely place :) Thank you Anaba for your delicious sushi made with love for us. Always Z best! :))))

Yes!! Absolutely the best Sushi spot!!In my 20 years of sales, I've entertained a number of Hollywood clients in the Burbank area, so as you can imagine Sushi lunches are a big deal. Well, let me tell you, Anaba is by far one of the best spots I've ever eaten at! Wednesdays and Thursdays are your best opportunity to get a seat at the sushi bar with your host Richie the sushi master!
