Food: Innovative taste, poor value

Taisho's Yellowtail Serrano Sashimi teases with its balance of flavors and freshness, while the Yuzu Margherita and Vanilla Butter Cake end things on a memorably sweet note. The innovative menu exudes creativity, but falls short on quantity. Value feels compromised with overpriced dishes served in petite portions.

Vibe: Funky music, noisy chatter

With chic ambiance, Taisho sets a modern tone for dining. Live music adds a fun vibe, making it a trendy spot with several celebrity sightings. However, the noise level tends to rise to near ear-splitting levels, marring otherwise positive vibe.

  • Okay For Dates

    Ambiance suitable for dates yet somewhat loud, compromising intimacy.

Perks: Smooth reservations, tough parking

Taisho smoothens the way for its patrons with an easy reservation system and ample outdoor seating. Large groups find quick seating and friendly service, and pets get a special welcome. Yet, finding a parking spot and maintaining a conversation amidst the noise can be a challenging task.

  • Great For Diets

    Many vegan and vegetarian options that are tasty and clearly highlighted.

  • Okay Service

    Service hits or misses; depends on business, staff, and timing.

  • Hard To Park
