Editorial Review for Taiko Japanese Grill & Sushi Bar – by Robin Barr Sussman
In Short
The constant crooning of Frank Sinatra and the occasional service blunders challenge your Zen, but smooth decor and two sushi bars keep sushi bargain hunters returning. Order the seaweed salad, deep-red tuna sashimi, chef's signature rolls or the marvelous miso soup. For a taste of the good life--lobster, shrimp or sumptuous sirloin--hit the hibachi room, where chefs slice and dice like samurai warriors. Green tea ice cream is a welcome finale.

My friends and I go here nearly every Friday, we are big fans of the edamame, tuna and salmon sushi, and the LOBSTER TEMPURA! It's not on the menu, usually written as a special on a dry erase board, and its astounding! It keeps bringing us back, even though the service leaves something to be desired. The past two times that I have dined there, they forgot my edamame (which was brought out to me eventually) and the second time, the waiter was gone for nearly our entire meal and we had to stand up to get his attention for refills. The service could use major improvement, but that amazing lobster tempura keeps us salivating and waiting for the next Friday. Just go and hope you get a decent waiter.
Pros: LOBSTER TEMPURA! YUM!
Cons: Poor service

It is very close to my home. I have given it two chances, and I've been disappointed both times. The sushi was not fresh. I did not even finish my meal the second time I visited Taiko. Based on all the good reviews, I assume that this restaurant was good in the past. Possibly new management or just a case of a made restaurant trying to cut costs. Either way, save your money and go somewhere else.
Pros: Sushi is not fresh
Cons: Nice restaurant and ambience
