All the employees were speaking Japanese to each other when we got in so we knew it was going to be good. We had the tonkotsu black, the miso tsukemen (I forgot to take a pic), salmon and avo sushi, and the regular sashimi. The ramens were so flavourful and rich. The sushi was fresh and buttery.
Food wasnt bad to begin with but the portion seems a little on the lighter side. For an average of $20ish spend on their lunch set, would expect to be full and not be snacking on stuff just under an hour later.
The tempura and fried chicken seem a little over cooked, could taste the charness in them.
A small place , so if you plan to come for a bigger group, might need reservation.

Sometimes you go to a restaurant and say you would eventually go back, one day. But the first time I ate at Taiyo I came back the following day ! And it was not just my call, but we were 5 to have the same idea ! The reasons are undoubtedly the delicious ramens (especially the Garlic one, I miss you so much), the exquisites sushis and makis, not to forget the tasteful Yakisoba. All in all the food was excellent and the service so very friendly. If you live in Namaimo, well you...
