Taihei Restaurant is a below average Japanese restaurant in a below average area of Monterey Park. The restaurant setting is aged. As I walked through the front door, I was overwhelmed by a nasty fish odor which filled the entire restaurant. The Chirashi Bowl was below average. The octopus had bad soft texture. The preserved daikon (yellow) had a weird taste. The preserved young ginger was dry and looked scary. For the Tempura Udon, they put the tempura pieces into the soup. Well, the tempura pieces all turned mushy. Well done, Taihei team! I will cross out Taihei from my dining list.

The owner and all employees are very nice. Parking: There’s parking along the streets Kid-friendliness: Kids love sushi

GOOD HOME MADE TASTE FOOD , SO FLAVORED,FRESH SASHIMI, DELICIOUS SOUPS, TEMPURA AND CLAM YUMMM

Amazing food! The fish is fresh and tastes great, I love the hamachi nigiri here. The service is excellent, and since it's a small hole-in-the-wall style, it's very cozy and inviting. Definitely my favorite place in the SGV!

Really fresh sushi. Every time I dine there always seen elderly Japanese enjoying the meals and chatting with the server. I really like this kind of atmosphere. They have been in the location over 40 years. The location is next to a dry cleaners and unassuming location. But definitely great sushi so it’s worth a try.

Oh my wow! What a delicious hidden gem. The sushi here for sure is one of the best I've tried for sure. I sat at the bar and ordered several orders of fresh sushi. Everything was spot on, made to order. The chef's recommendations were all delicious. I highly recommend this place if you want fresh, delicious sushi. I will for sure return to this place in the near future. Wow!
