The service is great. I highly recommend going for the all you can eat option - great deal. There's a wide variety of sushi to choose from. The sushi is beautifully plated on a wooden board - super cute, perfect for pics. They also have a bunch of sake flavors. I really liked the pink one. It's light and smooth, great for girls.

Last Friday, my cousins and I had dinner at Octopus. We found parking on the street and in the nearby public parking lot easily, and we arrived at the restaurant at around 6:45pm. We were seated promptly, but it took a while for the staff to take our orders. At this hour, it looked like the tables were filling-up fast. The staff were friendly and checked-in with our table frequently throughout our meal. We ordered a variety of items, and my faves were the Cheese Pork Cutlet and Octopus Chef's Special Plate. The Cheese Pork Cutlet was crispy and complemented well with the sweet & salty sauce. However, the pork itself was kind of thin, but there was a good ratio of pork to cheese. The Special Plate came with a miso soup and salad, and the plate itself was colorful and full of fresh fish. I liked the roe bowl the most, which included rice, tobiko, smelt egg, and uni. The plate also had a spicy tuna handroll, which had too much tuna and could've used more rice, in my opinion. Overall, my family and I enjoyed our meal, and I wouldn't mind coming back to Octopus, if I was craving a casual and heavier sushi dinner.

The food here is always amazing. We love to come for happy hour. It's Monday-Saturday 3pm-6pm and everyday reverse 8pm to close. Seriously one of my fav spots. The ambiance is casual and friendly. Service is always amazing as well!

I can't believe I haven't been here sooner! As a frequent Burbank downtown go-er, I would always pass this spot and assumed it would be good because it's always packed, and I was right! I finally got to go for their $39.99 AYCE dinner service. My favorites were the carpaccios and I kept going back to order them again and again. I also love that they roll their sushi with the perfect filling to rice ratio. I hate when a place overdoes the rice and tries to fill you up, but at Octopus, it's quality over quantity. Our servers were always aware of our needs and different people would rotate and make sure all was well. I'd definitely come here again for dinner. I'd also like to try coming during their $23.95 lunch menu as well! Honorable mention: their white peach sake bottle was soooo good!!

Octopus Burbank was solid for a casual sushi night. Ordered the Toro Nigiri (melts in your mouth), Alaskan Roll (very sweet), Kara Roll (also pretty sweet), and California Roll- everything was pretty fresh. The vibe is modern and laid-back it's great for a quick bite or a really chill dinner. Also, kinda funny that they have one men's restroom and one all-gender restroom but no women's restroom lol. Random, but worth noting. Overall, good sushi, easy spot in Burbank.

I've been dining here for years. It's a great spot in a prime location. I always order their speciality rolls, they're so good! They've recently introduced an all you can eat menu which is absolutely fantastic. It's such a good deal! You can do the AYCE for lunch and if you choose to do it for dinner, it's less than $10 more! You can order so many of their menu items from there and you can do the AYCE for 90 minutes! I dined on so many speciality rolls, sushi rolls, and hand rolls. Everything was fantastic!

The all you can eat sushi is so high quality and a premium experience. The carpaccios were my favorite (spicy albacore was so so good and garnished beautifully!) There are 25 specialty rolls you can choose from and so filling! The izakaya portion of the menu is extensive and dreamy. You can order pork cheese cutlets, beef, broiled salmon, takoyaki, and more! You pencil in your orders across three rounds and order to your heart's desire!! I really love this place and the staff is super attentive.

Our go-to place to have sushi!! I'll keep it simple: - Great food - Great service - Cool atmosphere - Quick but not rushed It's totally a consistent and solid place that hasn't let us down. If you're in the area , def try it out.

FOOD For $40, you can indulge in unlimited nigiri, apps, handrolls, rolls carpaccio, and more. This is a great deal considering how big their AYCE menu is. I was pleasantly surprised that the nigiri and the rolls weren't a ton of rice. I also liked that for the nigiri, it was 1 piece per order, so you can really customize your own board and try a bite of everything. Some of my favorite izakaya dishes included the baked mussels, tempura. salmon collar, and cheese pork cutlet. Nothing tasted haphazardly put together or super oily (which can be the case sometimes in ayce). For the tempura, it was only one piece of each type of item- something to keep in mind when you're ordering. SERVICE Service was superb! My tea/water was always topped off. Servers also came multiple times to check in on us. AMBIANCE Clean casual interior. There were families and dates. It got quite busy by the time we left at 6:30 PM on a Thursday night. PARKING There's a free parking lot right next door!

If anyone finds a better happy hour than this, let me know! With a large menu of izakaya, salads, classic rolls and premium rolls, Octopus offers some of the best happy hour options that I've seen. The cost savings are pretty good as well, with the izakaya and specialty rolls being discounted by about $2-$3. (Even if you don't attend during happy hour, I consider the pricing to be reasonable in the first place.) We arrived around 5:00P and the hostess seated us promptly. Throughout our dinner, three different employees tended to us; all of them were friendly and we were checked on multiple times. With happy hour ending at 6:00P, I also appreciated how they did a "last call" a few minutes before just in case we wanted to place a final order. Between the four of us, we got five rolls, two salads and one izakaya item, which was plenty of food. + HOUSE ROLL ($13.50 HH): Shrimp tempura, cucumber, avocado, spicy krabmeat and ebi. You can't go wrong with this roll which is a good combination of various textures. It came topped with some spicy mayo as well which actually added a noticeable kick! + MEXICAN ROLL ($9.95 HH): Spicy krabmeat, avocado, cucumber, fried jalapeños, & jalapeño crunch flakes. The fried jalapeños were actually served on the side, so you could eat them separately or with the roll for an extra crunch. + SNOW ROLL ($10.95 HH): Avocado, cream cheese, krabmeat, baked tilapia. This was my least favorite since the rice just did not stick together and each piece fell apart as we picked it up. It might have been due to the baked tilapia on top which warmed up the rice, making it less sturdy. + WASHINGTON ROLL ($11.95 HH): Spicy tuna, asparagus, salmon and ebi. I enjoyed that the ingredients in this roll spoke for themselves as opposed to being fried or overwhelmed with sauce. It was nice and clean. + RED DRAGON ($11.95 HH): Spicy tuna, tuna, cucumber and avocado. Considering how much I love tuna, this was my favorite roll. Between the medium heat, crunch of the cucumber and smooth avocado, this was simply perfect in my opinion. + SHRIMP W/ JALAPEÑO AVOCADO SAUCE ($8.75 HH): Impeccable! Five plump shrimp were lightly battered and piping hot right out of the fryer. Each one was served in a small scoop of the zesty and fresh sauce which we couldn't get enough of. + CUCUMBER SALAD ($4.50 HH): Shaved slices of cucumber marinated in rice vinegar. This was light, refreshing and definitely sharable. I expected a small bowl of cucumber, but it ended up being such a huge serving! If I lived in the area, I'd be here all the time. Octopus is a must for any fan of sushi!
