The ambiance was excellent and the service was ok. But the food was hit or miss - with some items coming out excellent and others falling flat on flavor. Seabass robata-yaki and crispy Brussels sprouts were awesome. Skip the lobster noodle, because somehow it had almost no lobster flavor whatsoever - it was beautifully presented, but very bland and dull.

Went for a friend's birthday a few weeks ago and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! My favorite dish was the spicy kurbobuta fried rice. The music was really loud but overall a great dinner, will definitely go back.

Dr Dre and Andersen Pak restaurant. Sign me up! The service and atmosphere were great. We ordered alot of food and got to try alot of different things. Some were great like the wagyu beef and others were just OK which is why I gave it 3 stars. It's probably closer to 4 considering the service was great. Drinks were good also. I will admit in not a sushi person so I only tried one piece of sushi and it wasnt for me.

Was craving some sushi for dinner on a nice Saturday night. Oh my, I was definitely impressed with this sushi spot. Had to take the bar, and the bartender was so welcoming but didn't catch his name. Here are the rolls that I ordered. The lobster roll is my top favorite! Albacore onion roll. Yuzu kosho roll. To end the night, a delicious dessert the butter cake.

Issue has nothing to do with the restaurant more with the valet. Jose was rude, not helpful, and quite frankly borderline aggressive. They “claim” they have contracts with other businesses in the area to park cars there at night. Today, I caught a valet red handed parking in a PUBLIC METERED SPOT. They claimed that was theirs too. At the time, a security guard for the restaurant said they can park in public spots, but I indeed looked it up and that is FALSE. As a valet you CANNOT park in a PUBLIC metered spot. You can apply for a permit to do so, and at that point you would have to display signs saying after x time this is a valet zone. However, NONE of that was clearly displayed and therefore that does NOT belong to them. They may have ownership of the metered spots directly in front of the restaurant, but not around the corner. It is unfair to other businesses WHO ALSO ARE ON THE SAME BLOCK, to not have parking for their PAYING customers but said restaurant can claim the entire block and behind it as well. Please note, I go to the boxing gym next door twice a week. I usually park in their assigned spaces behind the building, but when that is also full, what options do I have left? I just ask to leave the non demarcated metered spots for the PUBLIC, and don’t be a jerk about it. At this point, it's not a matter of ease. I'm perfectly fine parking a block and a half down the road in a metered spot. This is about the principle of the matter. That, I cannot let go. I know my rights legally vs what Jose was saying was clearly bluffs that I can easily disprove. The restaurant already has the lions share of ALL the parking on the entire block, be a good neighbor and allow the PUBLIC to park in the PUBLIC metered spots. Suffice to say, I will not let this go, and if this does require multiple complaints to the city, in which once again, I know what is legally right vs wrong, I will take it there.
This is a very tasteful restaurant. Everything we ordered was delicious. Our server was very attentive to our needs. Everything looks and tastes delicious 😋. The drink selection was unique and vast.
Absolutely LOVE Taisho!! This is my #1 recomendation in LA to grab a drink by yourself outside on the patio, sitting with clients, or having a small birthday celebration! We love the green beans, sea bass, lobster fried rice, and all the sushi! It is tappas style, so the proteins are SMALL plates and the sides are a little bigger to share.

I recently dined at a fancy sushi restaurant in Sherman Oaks, and unfortunately, the experience didn't meet the expectations set by the high prices. The ambiance was nice, but the service was lacking—my friend and I had to ask for water and attention multiple times, which was disappointing. Despite the restaurant being busy, the lack of attentiveness was hard to overlook.
We ordered several items: truffle salmon, salmon avocado roll, California roll, shishito Pepper and hot sake. The sushi was delicious to taste, but it was nothing I hadn't seen before. While everything tasted decent then, my friend and I had stomach issues afterward. My friend even reported this to the manager during our meal, who assured us the transaction would be canceled. However, I still saw the charge on my credit card days later, and it took another call to a different manager to resolve it.
While street parking is available, finding a spot on busy Friday nights is tough, so I opted for valet parking. Given the price point, the experience was disappointing, and I won't be returning.
