Reviews for Taisho Bistro Japanese Izakaya Rochester in Henrietta, NY

We had my favorite California roll and spicy salmon roll which was awesome, one of the best I have had. Volcano roll is a cooked... sushi which was ok, May be because I prefer raw over cooked one. I tried eel for the first time which was so yummy, gonna havethat again. And also hot sake was good for the cold weather. Place is cozy and clean. Read more

Beautiful place, great ambiance. I can't say which was better, the food or the service, but I can say it was an amazing... experience overall! The food was 5 star quality. The staff is always willing to help whether they are your waiter or not. It'slike they pay attention to when you're ready and when you need something they're so responsive. They definitely care about thecustomer experience, I had a small sticky spot on my table and they were more than reasonably responsive to the issue, more thatI think they needed to be which was amazing. I will definitely be back again and again and this is NOT my first time dining hereeither, just my first review. For a Japanese restaurant that serves the quality of food they serve here for the price theycharge, no wonder they are so busy! Read more

One of the best restaurants in Rochester. We have eaten here for years, and the food is always good, the people are always... friendly, and the atmosphere is great. I would eat here every day if possible. Read more

This place is alright. Generally resembles any other Asian cuisine place with same pricing model. You get a loooot of rice and... very little of protein. Example is a Sake Don i got there. No sir, I'm not paying 23 bucks for that. Salmon tartar wassurprisingly plain...Maybe not next time Read more

Average food quality. Their sashimi are as thin as paper. Understand the efforts to cut costs but will you be able to make more... money if there are only few people coming? Read more

I?ve been going to Taisho Bistro in Buffalo for quite some time and I love it there. Was surprised to find out yesterday that... they have a location in Rochester as well. The food quality seems to be on par with the Buffalo location, fish seemed fresh andthe seasoning was very similar in both. The only thing I disliked is that we ordered some Japanese beer and it was roomtemperature, other than that is a very decent sushi/hibachi restaurant. I ordered beef tataki (delicious, meet was very rare asit?s supposed to be, and ponzu sauce mix was great), salmon torch (my favorite item on the menu, a slice of salmon sashimiwrapped around spicy crab meat and some sauce that I believe is some sort of miso reduction/emulsion), sushi was fresh and had agood ratio of rice and fish.

Love this place! Great food, friendly staff, up beat atmosphere. The prices seem to be fluctuating a bit, and sometimes the... bathrooms need to be attended to a little more frequently than they do but besides that, no complaints. Read more

The menu for this place will leave you dumbfounded on what to try first. My companion and I had two ramen bowls (miso and taisho... style) (taisho was better in my opinion). We also ordered a pork belly bun, mackerel, sushi (yellowtail & scallion) (eel &cucumber) and they were delicious! I probably would?ve ordered more if I wasn?t in such a rush. However, I did decide that Iwould come back 2 or 3 more times to enjoy & explore the menu. All and all I thoroughly enjoyed myself, the food and theatmosphere. I can see how this place was busy on a Friday Night. With so many wonderful aromas filling the air it was hard forme to leave.
