...this place was packed tonight, kinda like pre-COVID times... tons of food, quick service, reasonable prices, happy hour $5 Asahi draft... $2.75 reward dollars... a (huge) "to go" box for dinner tomorrow night... Yelp check in... in and out in 27 min! OMG I'm stuffed...
This is a great spot for a wide variety of sushi. We went there with extended family and almost closed the place down because we were enjoying the company and not pressured to free up a table. The service was decent (they don't check on you but will immediately get what you need when you ask; it's an Asian thing), and the atmosphere is very casual and comfortable. I'm not a sushi person so I ordered a 2 item Teishoku (think bento), which had so much food I couldn't finish it and for the amount, the prices were actually quite reasonable. My dish had sesame chicken and vegetable tempura, while also coming with salad, miso soup, and rice. My daughter barely finished her salmon aburi yuzu (salmon sushi with a yuzu sauce), and my wife could not finish her unagi California. Again, solid flavors and a lot of food for the price.
Came here as a quick stop before my flight out of SNA and was so glad! The service was quick and friendly and the food was so good. Just got myself a lil sushi set and loved every piece. Great value for what it is ~
Fresh, delicious sushi. Particularly loved the seared sushi specials - so delectable. Soft shell crab with asparagus handroll was super tasty- we ended up ordering a second. Friendly service.
Food is good, the sushi is a bit pricey for the quality, but our family always enjoys going here. My only critique was the one server who kept bugging us to pay our bill during our meal. Made my husband not want to return, and it was obnoxious. Who wants to stop eating to pay their bill so she can close out early, totally unprofessional. All other staff has always been great so only took away one star.
It's Foodie Friday and where did I go after work??? The answer is Taiko! (And yes, there was a Yelp glitch... this my additional review on all the food that I have there) Since I work in the Lake Forest / Irvine area -- Taiko off Jeffery in Irvine is the perfect food haven for me to go when work is rough and traffic was not a part of my after work vibe. As a result -- the sushi bar with some delicious food, happy hour draft Asahi, and sushi chef Antonio is the way to go. I recently got obsessed with their Uni Cream Udon. So good! Especially in this rainy cold weather. But the other day I was in the sushi vibes and really wanted Uni... wasn't able to get it, but still craving it... I had to get some Uni this time. Tonight I got Nigiri Uni, Scallop, and Toro. For a hot dish -- the Baked Scallops with rice. For dessert -- the special! A Matcha Mont Blanc Parfait... ooooooo... that was unique! It is definitely an Asian inspired dessert, but multiple surprises with it. Don't want to spoil it! If you are curious and craving an Asian matcha green tea dessert, then this is for you! Now... what will I get next!?!
Restaurant is open during Sunday this month and next for a pop up so this is not their regular menu! They said it was a special Pop- up and chef was from Japan. Only 3 choice items on the menu. We ordered the eel bowl and the tempura bowl. The eel bowl was super flavorful and comes with tamago. Small bowl was already a lot of one person. The tempura bowl was not as great as the eel one but was still pretty good. The tempura was crunchy and sauce was superb. It was a bit price but when we got our orders, we understood why it was priced like that. Huge portions. I would like to bring my family to try the eel bowl since we all love eel.
