Please will someone tell me how to make a reservation for tomorrow night at 6:00 for 4 people, I have heard good things about the food and atmosphere but can’t seem to figure out how to make a reservation.

Sony and Tai are the best. Best meal I had all year and I'm a great cook and I make fresh sushi at home. there is no sushi anywhere better. Presentation, taste, enjoyment. I would eat there every night if I could. The price is fair. So any negative reviews go eat your gas station sushi and stay home.

FIRE!!! This is THE BEST sushi I have ever had -- hands down!!! And I have had sushi in JAPAN and this was better than the sushi I had overseas. The overall experience was AMAZE-BALLS! They only do Omasake style, which is a very traditional way of serving sushi! If you don't know what that is google it! The server (Sally) is also a Sake Sommelier and will not lead you astray! TRUST THE PROCESS -- it will be well worth it! Just be warned this is not cheap ($135 per person) not including the sake. And boy was it well worth it! They are very selective in regard to who they accept reservations from. They only accept up to three reservations per night! It feels very exclusive. If there is a sushi version of a speakeasy.....this is it! Call or text the number and they may or may not get back to you but keep trying (like I did) it will pay off in the end! This is one of SJC's BEST KEPT SECRETS!

This was a wonderful experience! The service was impeccable! The food was amazing and words or pictures would never do it justice. Every plate was presented with such knowledge of the fish origin and preparation! Sake pairing was out of this world!Sushi Tai is a wonderful surprise! I have already booked our next meal.This is sushi presented at its best!

The most amazing Sushi I’ve ever had, even in Japan! Not only is the food excellent but the whole experience with Sunny explaining the origins of the food, how it’s prepared, etc is exceptional!

From what I remember, the sushi here is fantastic, and the staff is friendly.Unfortunately, this was the second time I came by after confirming they were open on maps, only to discover they were actually closed. The hours listed on their website are also wrong, but the site appears to be about 3 years out of date.

5 stars. Sunny is always friendly and attentive. Chef Tai's scallops are my favorite!

What a phenomenal experience we had here for my boyfriends birthday. Start to finish the service, food, and sake were some of the best I've ever had. Sunny was so knowledgeable and kind, and I loved getting to learn more about each dish we were enjoying. What an absolute hidden treasure, I can't believe I'd never known about Sushi Tai before! I can't wait to come back.

We heard great things about this place. The second we walked in the mean old lady asked us to look at the menu and let us know if 'we are okay before we sit down. I said looks great can we sit down and then she said we have to wait 30 minutes , while only three tables were occupied and the rest of the restaurant was completely empty. Anyways I'm no stranger to eating out and I wish them all the best but that was a totally awkward experience.

We enjoy going out. Yesterday we went to this excellent restaurant which we didn’t know before. We passed a lovely time there with high-qulity dishes and a professional crew and a talented chief cook. We put this restaurant in our list and we shall surely come back soon. We warmly recommend.
Don't bother coming here the place is always looking like it's closed and when you come in there's nobody there and the service is terrible

This place is my absolute favorite sushi restaurant! The prices are a little intimidating but once you start eating you can see why, the fish and seafood is of the highest quality in the area. The sashimi and rolls are absolutely beautiful and taste amazing, I've never had anything like it. It's definitely a wonderful place to go to treat yourself every now and then. It also has a great ambiance and soothing mood about and and I love everything about it!

It's literally the best sushi in OC! The fish is the freshest I've ever had and Sonny and Tai are the best! Glad to see them again after all the crazy in the world.

This place is absolutely Amazing! Some of the best sushi I have ever had. We came in and got a recommendation for sake and it was out of the park great. I can not recommend this place enough, some of the best, high quality sushi I have ever had.

Good, not great sushi. Quality is not reflective of the price as I expected the fish and presentation to be much better.
