Reviews for Taisho in Sherman Oaks, CA
I love this place! There are so many items from their menu I like. It’s down the street from me so it makes it real convenient... to come have a good time with friends that are out of town, wanting to have drinks, some good food with a vibe. Read more
Excellent food, great service, and wonderful vibe. Taisho excels at an entertaining brunch and dinner. Great for birthdays and... small groups. Definitely put in a reservation. Worth a look! Read more
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 wassuch a pretty drink and really yummy too! I came with a party of six and we all ordered A bunch of dishes to try differentthings! And we also ordered dessert at the end which was phenomenal. Highly recommend going. I was there for a dinner meetingbut next time I’ll definitely go to one closer to me and Monrovia. Read more
This restaurant was so good! We had a reservation on a Friday night and were seated right away. We asked twice to change tables... and the hostesses/servers were really nice about it. We were sat at a much better table! Our server was great, super friendly,very personable and accommodating! The food runners were great as they brought out our foods and everyone wished us happyanniversary! It was sweet of them to remember and celebrate it! Some restaurants don't even acknowledge it, so it was nice theydid! It is family style so you do have to order a few different foods, but we liked it! We had just enough! The drinks were goodas well! Thank you to our server Nate, he was sweet!! Read more
Service is perfect. Unbeatable, literally didn't have to ask for a thing! The drinks are very tasty, inventive and mix both LA... cultural homage with avant garde pan-asian tastes like serrano, lychee and others. Highly recommend the Yuzu margarita andVentura heat. They also have a very strong wine list. Food was, of course, incredible. Highly recommend Wagyu Gyoza, short rib,red snapper sashimi, pork belly fried rice and cookie & ice cream. Wagyu Gyoza was rich, tender flavorful yet perfectly balancedwith the vinegar sauce. Red Snapper sashimi rivals the Nobu Yellowtail sashimi. The short ribs were intoxicating - light garlic,sesame and other Asian flavors marinated in these tiny tendrils of goodness. The entire dish of the PBFR, was delicious - itwasn't just a pork-centric dish - everything about it flowed together from the egg, to the kurobota to the green onion and someother type of Japanese spice I detected but couldn't name. Phenomenal place and (partially) BIPOC owned! Read more
Staff was great. Service was excellent. Cool vibes, good music but the food itself was so overpriced and not very tasty. The... fish for sushi however was very fresh. Did not like the Specialty Marg nor Mojito but the Old fashioned was alright. Get theBrussels sprouts and the Otoro nigiri. Short ribs were alright. Skip the cucumbers, oysters, crab sushi roll. Popcorn chickenand crispy tuna rice were disappointing. No crunch. Weighed down by oil and thick batter. Read more
Drinks were great. I had the Yuzu Margarita and the Ventura Fire. They have 2oz pours. The food was mediocre. I’m a sushi... lover and this place missed the mark. I would only return for drinks and atmosphere. Customer service was great. My bartender,Jackie went above & beyond. Read more
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 comingback. Their sister restaurant, Casita across Ventura Blvd, is equally as impressive on all fronts. Just go. Read more
