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. –

I didn't get bad service.

I sat at the sushi bar and got greta serviice from the chef and did 99% of my ordering from him. Very attentive and had great suggestions. I'll be back.

Decent food, flaky service
by houston_aggie
We went here for dinner on Saturday night. It was not crowded whatsoever. We ordered the pepper seared tuna, jazz roll, tiger roll, and seaweed salad. The tuna was delicious and almost melted in my mouth. The sushi rolls were decent, nothing special. The pieces were not uniformly cut and were HUGE. The seaweed salad was dry and small. The service left more to be desired. We never got water refills. When we asked for more cocktails, they took forever and I actually saw the drinks sitting on the bar for over 20 minutes. When our food first came out, the waiter clumsily threw the food down, almost breaking some plates and glasses, and then he ran off. It took us 15 minutes to flag someone down for utensils and chopsticks. I might give this place another chance...good location, ample parking, no wait.
- Pros: pepper seared tuna
- Cons: service

GOOD FOOD IF YOU CAN STOMACH THE SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!
by sushilovingirlxx
I have been going to Taiko for a couple years now for the hibachi "show" with my children and they love it. The food is good and always fresh but lately the service has been getting progressively worse. When it is brought to the managers attention he basically ignores you. The taste of the food far outweighs the service though. So if you can get over the EXTRA POOR SERVICE (just don't tip--maybe they will get it one day!!!!!) then it's a good place to go.
- Pros: food
- Cons: service
