Great place for single diners. Sushi rolls are excellent but nigiri cuts are thin most of the time. Yesterday was great! I was pleasantly surprised to get nice big cuts on nigiri which made it well worth the price. Wish the cuts were more consistent. I easily visit here 15 times a year because the food is good despite the inconsistent cuts on nigiri. Specials run early in the week and before 3 pm. Huge menu of yummy choices typical for an Asian sushi place. Not noisy considering TVs and music. Easy to hold conversations. Full service alcohol and bottled premium sake available. Wait staff is attentive and friendly.

First timers, ordered to go. Food was old. Everything was dry and tasteless. Should not have served us those leftovers. Very disappointing.

Tappi is truly one of the best local restaurants, offering some of the most delicious sushi rolls we’ve ever had. Each roll was crafted with fresh ingredients, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. What made the experience even more special was the personal touch—the owner took the time to stop by our table, warmly greeting us and making us feel like valued guests. The service was exceptional, with the staff being friendly, and knowledgeable. Tappi is a must-visit spot for anyone who appreciates high-quality sushi and a memorable dining experience.

I ordered my food and did not arrive what I ordered.
Moreover, I tried to fix it over the phone with the restaurant and they weren't able to give me any solution or instance repair my order to go and pick it up. They should put more attention to the orders.

The oysters were not put in effort it was done very lazy . The waitresses were snobby and not helpful just all bad vibes . The food was just bland . I do not recommend coming here it’s not worth spending 140$ for a family of 5. The place was super cold to even dine in and eat dinner it was a terrible atmosphere.

Nice place. Cozy inside. Bar, sushi bar, tables. Cocktails. Happy hour. Looks like it's closed from the outside. Chicken Katsu was delicious. I ordered a chicken curry bowl. While tasty, in person the dish wasn't what I'd expected and I still would've ordered it with a modification. The prices were vastly different than in person or on small to go menus. The bowl was online at $10, in reality it was 16.99+tax. Portion was good size. My to go curry didn't come in a bowl container but a regular styrpphone square. And because this is not a chunky curry sauce it was a mess in the bag before it even reached my hands. Bc of the diced nature of the small diced potatoes and the shredded carrot this is quite saucy. Think a thin curry stew. A yummy sauce to be sure. Knowing this I would probably ask for a soup container wrapped in plastic for the sauce to go. if I ordered this dine in, I might still ask for either lighter sauce or on the side. They did attempt to keep sauce to one side of the container so half of each katsu slice touched the sauce. I ended up eating it in my car rather than have a soggy mess when I drove. Worth it taste wise. I'd like to come back and try their sushi and sashimi

Parking: In a shopping square nxt between a nail salon and a grocery store so you may not get right up at the door, but if you can walk, parking is plentiful

Delicious food and a great atmosphere. We had the gyōza and California roll for appetizer and the tonkatsu pork ramen and the teriyaki chicken for entrees and it was all delicious.
