Bistro Taiyo Japanese Restaurant offers a relaxed atmosphere with excellent and reasonably priced food. Their black ramen and lunch bentos are highly recommended. This authentic Japanese eatery serves fresh and tasty sushi made to order, operated by a friendly Japanese staff. Customers praise the excellent customer service and the cozy and flavorful nabeyaki udon. The restaurant has a casual vibe, making diners feel comfortable even when dining alone. The menu features standout dishes like the spicy salmon rolls, toro nigiri, shōyu tonkatsu ramen, and delightful deep-fried chicken skins. Recent reviews highlight the rich and flavorful tonkotsu black ramen and miso tsukemen, along with fresh and buttery sushi. While some find the portions a bit light for the price, the overall quality of the food remains high. The tempura and fried chicken have received mixed feedback regarding their cooking. The restaurant is small, so reservations are suggested for larger groups. Many customers express a desire to return, enjoying the delicious ramen, exquisite sushi, and tasteful yakisoba, making it a great stop for both locals and visitors.
