Taisho in Sherman Oaks

Still just as fabulous as I remember it! Our server was Kelly and she was a rockstar so attentive, friendly and gave the best recommendations.We got a little bit of everything on the menu so I’ll highlight my favs. The Brussel sprouts were just as delicious as I remember. They definitely taste like chips vs something healthy. The salmon dry miso sashimi was so memorable seasoned so perfectly that just wanted more. The whole striped bass was the last course and would have skipped over this if not recommended and that would have been regretful. The presentation and even more the taste of the sauce was fresh crispy fish was truly amazing. Every dish had great flavors, the service was impeccable and the restaurant had such a great vibe. The only downside and could be considered an upside is that’s it’s really loud inside since the music is so loud so it’s difficult to have a conversation without having to yell a little. The dinner wasn’t be any means cheap so it’s definitely a place to splurge a little.

Amazing sushi, really good quality . The ambiance is a total vibe . Great Set up . Will write more later. This place is a MUsT

First of what will be many visits to this dynamic and inviting spot. Roma our server was outstanding, very personable and great suggestions with the menu. Mike was an associate Manager I believe, took great care getting us situated and checking back on us through the meal. Tom, one of the Restaurant partners is such an incredible man, so nice, really great background on the place and shared about another new concept opening down the road in the near future. Food: Brussels Sprouts, new favorite simply wonderful. Yellowtail Serrano and Tuna Avocado Parm, rich and truly wonderful dishes presented as a new modern sashimi, excellent! Yuzu Kosho roll and Sweet and Spicy Crab Roll, wow, incredible could have stayed right there and ordered more, outstanding! Crab Legs with a remarkable sauce that was just out of this world, will hit that again. Crispy Rice and Tuna was best I’ve had after trying at several other places, this one is simply the winner. Now let’s talk about the Wagyu Short Ribs, heavenly presented in a tangy, rich and vibrant sauce, melts in your mouth, crazy great! And then, just when you think there is no more room, trust me, you have room for the Butter Cake with Strawberries and ice cream. It’s just plain Stellar! My wife and I love this place, from the atmosphere to the staff (front of house and back of house!) and food is perfectly on par with a dynamic evening out! Will be back for round two very soon! Tried to capture some of our meal in pics, some plates are empty, it was that good!

Was amazing service great fresh fishes, Great 🍺 beers was fun music 🎶 thanks

My guy and I came here on a whim and I’m so glad we did! This place is at least 5 stars however with as wonderful as our server was I’d rate them a 10! Food… phenomenal, atmosphere… superb, service… THE BEST! Our server Micah went above and beyond and has the best personality and vibes and most definitely made our night!!! We will definitely be back!Ps. Get the butter cake… just trust me!.

This place is very lively! It feels like you are in a party! The food is also pretty great.We ordered Shishito peppers, red snapper, crispy rice spicy tuna, the salmon truffle roll and they were all great. The red snapper was a bit salty so ask them to be sure its not. We also got espresso martinis with reposado tequila and it was great!

Elegant, sophisticated, lovely dinner spot. It’s charming and elevated yet casual enough to relax and unwind. I ordered a virgin Mojito and it was unbelievably good. My friend next to me had a custom drink made for her from the bartender and it was such a pretty drink and really yummy too!I came with a party of six and we all ordered A bunch of dishes to try different things! And we also ordered dessert at the end which was phenomenal. Highly recommend going. I was there for a dinner meeting but next time I’ll definitely go to one closer to me and Monrovia.

Just horrible cooking. If you have no idea what Asian cuisine taste like, and just want a fake feeling of Japanese food, you might like this restaurant. The environment is extremely loud, everybody has to shop in order to hear each other.None of the dishes are close to Japanese. They are extremely salty, and cooked horribly. Not to mention their prices. They charge 20% auto gratuity, and 3% for their employee wage benefits.Their filet mignon uses the cheapest beef.Crispy chicken is very salty. Baked crab is the only decent thing. Salmon is smoked to a weird flavor then grilled to nastiness.Do not come here. Food without drinks were easily $100+ PP

All items I tried were delicious. The Green Tea Mule was yummy. The butter cake was delicious! The service was great also.

Amazing food, drinks, atmosphere and staff/service. Made my Birthday extremely special and memorable. The desert tasted like a rich buttery Strawberry shortcake merged with an elevated Twinkie (if such a thing could exist). We’ll definitely be coming back. Their sister restaurant, Casita across Ventura Blvd, is equally as impressive on all fronts. Just go.
