This place is worthless the waiting is about an hour and nobody seems to attend you

During dinner rush hour it can definitely have a wait. I would say out of 100 times I have maybe had lack luster or slow service 2 times. Usually very attentive and food comes reasonably quick.

What's the average lunch price for two?

The California rolls are about $2.60 each. If you order those and some of the lower priced sushi, you could stay under $30 for sure. If you buy the premium sushi, you'll be looking at around $30, going onto $35. The bento box lunches are about $13, and if you order those, you'll be seeing about $30.

Wow. All I can say is that the food is great especially for the low prices they have. Their prices are reasonable, and even better at happy hour! Not to mention their exception customer service. It is some of the best I’ve ever seen and I’ve hd my fair share of restaurants! A must-go-to for anyone in Glendale!

Fast service, decent sushi. One thing is the sushi orders are for two pieces and it's not indicated. Also the spicy tuna is real spicy.

Regular sushi spot with the classic appetizers and rolls. Quality of food is basic, furniture is worn down, so dont expect to go here for a nice celebratory lunch with coworkers.

Super delicious food with amazing deals throughout the day! You can’t go wrong with any of the deals at Octopus! Though some other options that aren’t considered “deals” are far more expensive, you’re always going to get quality food so it makes sense. The service is friendly and fast and you can’t go wrong with anything you order.

Went to Octopus recently with a colleague and ordered enough food for 4 people. Coming from Montreal, I didn't realize that they give you double the number of pieces per specialty roll order. I was impressed by the freshness of the fish and the price. It was excellent. The only dish i was not too keen on was the seared garlic tuna. Not to my taste. Had the salmon carpaccio which was like butter ...delicious. Would I go back....definitely YES!

Absolutely delicious. I had the monk fish liver carpaccio and the octopus salad. Everything was fresh and well balanced. Service from the waitstaff was inattentive at best, but the chef at the sushi bar was lovely to talk to.

This is one of my favorite places to go. They do have happy hour deals which are cool. They have bomb rolls . One of my favorites are the dragon and Vegas roll. Customer service is great they are on top of it. Nothing but good vibes here.

I’ve been eating here for a number of years. Service used to be pretty bad, but I’d come for the happy hour. Now the service is good and the chefs really wanna give you the best sushi their hands can craft. Two thumbs up

Crunchy jalapeno roll was tasty, red dragon was my favorite but the spicy albacore definitely was a let down. It tasted old and like fish had been refrigerated several days.. had heard several good things about this place but maybe since it was close to 8pm when I arrived service and food weren't great.

Stopped by this location, on a Saturday afternoon. There was no wait and parking is available in the near by structure. There was no wait upon arrival. Place is newer compared to the near by Burbank and the sherman oak/Encino locations. Foodwise the family and I went for the happy hour menu, which included limited, but included some of our favorite, premium rolls. Unlike the other locations, rolls were a bit thick with rice as fillers, and found my self removing the excess to get to the core (see picture). I'm sure if I brought it to their attention they would have made an effort to curtail the excess. The staff was friendly and attemptive. Also, there is no parking validation.

By far one of my favorite sushi places to eat. Sushi is always very good and service is prompt and friendly. I usually eat at the sushi bar. And I'm glad they brought Kirin Ichiban Light back. Even when it's been busy, the food has always come out in a timely manner, which is great. Most places don't. You have to park in the public parking structure right across the street and you get 90 minutes free so unless you take 2 hours to eat...you don't have to worry about parking.

I have to be really honest and I tried sushi for the very first time in my life at this restaurant. I really got a great impression because I had a really bad idea about raw fish. I visited this place 3 times already, and for sure I will be coming more often next year.

I was disappointed after learning that they use the same grease to fry everything. I have a shrimp allergy and to find out that the chicken, veggie tempura and shrimp are all fried in the same grease was concerning. Thank goodness I asked before ordering.

This place has amazing value and great sushi. Dine in prices for rolls and pieces can't be beat. Their happy hour from 4-closing and all day on the weekends make it the place to be. Friendly service and cool ambiance. Definitely gets busy on weekend nights so expect a wait.
