I had a great late-night experience at Bar Tatami in Livermore! I ordered the Tatami Burger with a side salad, and both were excellent—fresh, flavorful, and really hit the spot. The burger was juicy and well-seasoned, and the salad was crisp with a nice balance of greens and dressing.
What really stood out, though, was the fantastic service from Bobby the bartender. He was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made the experience even better. It’s not often you find that kind of hospitality, especially late in the evening.
Speaking of which—this place is open late, which is a rare and welcome find in Livermore. Whether you’re grabbing a late bite or just want to unwind with a drink, Bar Tatami delivers. Highly recommend!

Delicious EVERYTHING. The waiter was so friendly and attentive. I will drive an hour and a half to order again!

Everything about this place was amazing, from the service to the food. Didn't get any pictures but everything was so good! Definitely a hidden gem! I will be back for the cherries, orange and honey platter my Peruvian friend. 💖

Went in with a co-worker after hearing gleaming reviews of the Tatami Burger. Was greeted by a very rude and inattentive bartender who forced us to order drinks, (we just wanted food.) To then proceed to do anything but make our ordered drinks. (I ordered a beer, not that hard to pop a cap.) After waiting about 15 min we decided Panda Express would be able to serve us quicker and left. If you like being ignored then this is definitely the place for you.

Absolute Worst old fashioned i have ever had. ever. Ordered steamed potstickers and received fried. Was specifically asked if i wanted fried or regular and i said not fried, regular. They were not served with all three sauces as described on the menu, only the chile oil which was too hot to actually taste the potsticker.

This place was recommended by a friend and the food was really good and for a good value. It’s connected to the casino but you don’t need to go through the lobby, there’s a door that goes straight in.Ribeye was good, sea bass looked tasty too.

Sea bass soo delicious topped with cappers, tomatoes & butter, kale was perfect, rice excellent. Very filling 10/10 recommend

Came here for dinner on Christmas, because our families were sick, but I’m glad we did! Steak was great, and my friends enjoyed their sea bass entrées too. Bobby, our server, was engaging, funny, and took great care of us. We’ll DEFINITELY be back to try other things on the menu.

Food was good. Waited a while for my drinks even though I was at the bar. Bartender had his back turned majority of the time. Would've liked more drinks ,but whatever.
It was good & service was ok. Maybe the waitress / bartender had a long day.

Bar Tatami is fantastic. The food is delicious. The crew is inviting. The prices are unbeatable. I discovered the flavor-packed and filling $14 salmon entree (now $15 yay inflation) during my lunch break and never looked back. I got one coworker hooked with that dish and another one today with the fried chicken sandwich special. I could go on and on.**please add the fried chicken sandwich to the permanent menu**

While the service from our waiter/bartender was amazing, the table set up was far from glamorous because there were people (including staff I might add!) walking past our table smoking lit cigarettes. I am a smoker and I was astonished by the lack of respect, especially from the group of employees that passed our table while smoking.

The food here is really not bad! I think more people should give it a shot and I know they would enjoy it! They have great food and great selection!
