This was my favorite sushi place / bar for 3 decades however after pandemic and new ownership it is no longer even remotely on that same level. All the bar chefs are retired and the new chefs are not quite trained in social skills. Vegetarian options: Sushi is primarily seafood and if that’s not accepted multiple vegetable tempura dishes as well as other are available. Wheelchair accessibility: There are several disabled spots but always taken. The lot is always busy especially during the weekend.

The good: my gosh, the food is SO DELICIOUS here. Every single item we have tried here was fresh and fantastic. We don’t get sushi anywhere else these days - we’d rather wait and make the drive up to this spot for all of our sushi cravings. Also, it’s very cozy inside. Perfect date night spot. The bad: this trip, not the best service. Didn’t get a chance to talk with the manager as they seemed very busy so I will share here: our server forgot to order my boyfriend’s dinner. I totally understand mistakes happen, and normally I wouldn’t comment about this hiccup, but the server was dishonest with us about it (and did not offer to comp anything either). When my food came out, the server said his food would be right out too. It wasn’t until I later asked another server about the status of his food that we found out our dinners had been ordered 20 minutes apart - she called our server over, and that’s when our server admitted she had forgotten to order his food initially. His food came out 25min after mine. Again I understand mistakes happen but please communicate the truth in the future as this made us both feel poorly about the whole dinner experience. It’s not pleasant to eat at two different times (especially while hungry). Thank you for the delicious food though.

First came 25 years ago and have so many wonderful memories here. Here we are today and Taiko is still serving wonderful sushi…and those fantastic portions haven’t changed! Always a wait, and always worth it!
