⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an incredible dining experience largely thanks to our server and general manager, Savior. He made us feel welcome and truly immersed us in the culture behind the cuisine. Each dish was insanely delicious thoughtfully made and presented to perfection! The sashimi and any skewer on the menu are a must.
Savior took the time to explain the menu in a way that honored the traditions for each dish. His passion for the food and the overall experience made our meal feel special.
I can’t recommend him and this restaurant enough. If you’re looking for a fantastic meal paired with genuine hospitality, you have to try Taberu!

Was the first customer to set down right when they opened on Sunday morning and had no idea the exceptional time I would have.
Celebrating my lady was a great success!

A pale and overpriced imitation of an actual izakaya.
Update: skewers are terrible. Bowls are decent. Should probably call themselves a donburi place instead.
I'm updating this review because of the hilariously misguided response from the owner. I'm Japanese. I went to school there and have been back countless times for family. Having hundreds of locations doesn't mean any one given location is good. The yakitori was either undersalted or overcooked. The oyster mushroom in particular were close to inedible.
Maybe you should consider some of the negative reviews in the last year as indication that you have quality control issues. Clearly depending on the time of dining and day, people are having vastly different experiences.
And frankly, I was being generous with the review on the unagi bowl. $29 is almost criminal for the amount of unagi in the bowl and don't get me started on the yakitori.

Delicious food, our server Xavier (might be spelling wrong) was kind, helpful and added to the experience. We had the spicy avo cucumber, spareribs (so good), winged gyoza, and a salmon skewer.
