This was such an incredible experience, my group sat at the sushi bar and this was all our first times having Omakase. We couldn’t have asked for a better and more delicious experience. The couple that owns this restaurant is so sweet and absolutely incredible with customer service. We felt like we had been coming here for years, and ordered more food at the end of our 12 piece meal bc it was all so delicious and we couldn’t get enough. I think we each got 3 more pieces. I can’t wait to return. This made my husband’s birthday, so very special. Thank you again for such a night to remember. One of the best meals I’ve ever had!!

Exquisite restaurant owned by husband and wife team. The sushi is mostly imported and is of rare quality. Culinary skills are top notch. We spent about $150 per person between the drinks, appetizer platter (one per persons); 10 pcs Omakase, couple
Extra orders and complete desserts to share,

Authentic, top-quality omakase experience. No bells and whistles or trendy gimmicks; just a lovely meal with food and service that never disappoints. Every appetizer, sushi, and dessert I've had there over the several times that I've gone has been a hit. The owners, Ben and Ayako, clearly put so much care into providing their guests no less than the best. Make your reservations early!

This place used to be more of a quick casual dining spot, but after COVID they remodeled — now it feels way more intimate and upscale, and you need reservations. I’d been trying to go ever since the change but could never commit… until my friend made me commit for my birthday dinner. Perfect excuse.

OMG — it did not disappoint. The beef tongue was unlike anything I’ve ever had — so tender it literally melts in your mouth. Premium quality, no question. The karaage (fried chicken) was juicy with perfect batter, and honestly every single dish you could taste the quality.

I didn’t even know my friend had the owner’s number — that’s how she got us in so easily (and why she goes so often). Between the husband-and-wife owners, the service felt warm and personal, like being welcomed into someone’s home. They were so sweet and attentive.

Some of their desserts are made in-house, too, which just adds to the experience. I seriously can’t wait to go back… just need to actually make that reservation (🙄).

RSVP only. Great fish quality! The only down size is they are a bit slow if you are in a hurry. It's a very nice husband and wife team running the restaurant.

All these great reviews are spot on, and you shouldn’t think otherwise. This is the 2nd time coming here with my family and it doesn’t disappoint. So now let me add another 5-star review, to the already many well earned 5-star reviews.
Both times coming here we opted for their 12 piece omakase course with assorted appetizers. Rather than keep repeating the other great reviews on how good the fish tasted, and how fresh the fish was, I’d like to bring attention to how good the rice being used was. Sushi lovers typically focus on the fish, but at the end of the day, fresh fish, is fresh fish… In my opinion, I agree with the notion that it’s the rice that truly makes or breaks the nigiri. And however way the Chef makes his rice is really exceptional, in addition to using the right amount with each piece. Include this with very cold beer, and now you have a winning combination.
In addition to the food, I appreciated the comfortable atmosphere Taira has. Sometimes when we would try other omakase places, the atmosphere was a little too pretentious, just to justify the higher price point.
Thank you Ben and Ayako for another great family sushi night, and next time we will definitely opt for the bar, lol.

5/5 Omakase Experience!

Such a great omakase experience in a cozy, intimate setting. The place is run by a wonderful couple, and Chef Ben truly puts a personal touch into every bite—each piece was thoughtful and delicious. Definitely an ideal spot for a date night or a small birthday gathering with your closest friends. Don’t forget to make a reservation—last call is at 9:30PM. Highly recommend!

This is Michelin recommended restaurant. It was well worth the wait to get the reservation for my birthday meal. Their omakase price was in the ball park of $80+. I spent way more than that though. The chef and his wife are the only ones working here. The put so much time and detail into the food. The sushi was amazing. The chef makes his own sauces. I also thought it was so sweet that he whipped up a yuzu dessert after he found out it was my birthday. I also thought it was creative that a piece of the nigiri he made did not have any soy sauce. Instead, he added salt to it, and it was really good. My favorite was the nigiri piece that had truffle. This is a place definitely worth coming back for to see what else the chef will serve up.

This is a small restaurant and they only take so many reservations each night. I recommend make reservations at least 3 weeks out.
