If want a sushi restaurant above the norm in terms of vibe, this is a good choice. Young, hip clientele, busy and bustling. The sushi and options...OK, not great. Crispy spicy salmon and short rib wagyu my favorites, but the other items just kinda ordinary. Very good service with items delivered as they come out. Nice cocktail menu...really liked my tart yuzu margarita with black salt. A fun place, and while casual, definitely attention to attire added to the vibe. Might go back and revisit menu with more scrutiny. Take away the ambiance and probably not unique sushi place, especially in Sherman Oaks which hosts many.

I asked for no yellowtail on my sushi and they still put it on the roll. Fish wasn’t fresh. Waygu gyoza is pretty mid. Chicken wings are cheaply made. Steak is overpriced. Lemon water was great. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Absolutely incredible customer service and amazing fresh sushi. 🍣 Small appetizers literally rocks. The best cucumber salad and Brussel sprouts. Always vibrant atmosphere and pleasant to spent evening at .

I really enjoyed dining at Taisho Sushi! The yellowtail serrano was perfectly balanced with just the right spice, and the salmon dry miso was incredibly flavorful and fresh. The presentation and service were both excellent — definitely one of my favorite sushi spots in town. Highly recommend!

Probably one of the best meals I’ve had in my young life. Anthony and Cam made the experience one to remember for our bachelor party. I can’t wait to come back.

I had Jada as a server and she was exceptional! I went here on my birthday and the food and atmosphere were very enjoyable.
Drinks are fantastic, food is delicious, CUSTOMER SERVICE is wonderful, the ambience is one of a kind. Definitely will be returning more often.

Across the board Taiso delivered great atmosphere, service and the food was great. Our dinner included crispy brussels sprouts crisped to perfection, yellowtail serrano with delicious yuzu soy, tempura cauliflower that was like a vegetarian version of orange chicken, miso eggplant, ribeye wrapped asparagus (less memorable), fried rice (also less memorable) Lobster noodles with a great garlic butter sauce, lamb chops, pork belly and seabass robata-yaki, the seabass being exceptional, sweet spicy crab roll with spicy tuna and kimchee cucumbers, and perhaps my favorite the albacore onion roll with tempura shrimp and asparagus that was topped with delicious delicately fried onions that were worth eating on their own. Everything about this place checked all the right boxes and I happily stuffed myself!

Celebrated my dad’s birthday there. Every dish we ordered was great!
Taisho is a modern Japanese restaurant that blends traditional techniques with a fresh California twist, creating an elevated yet approachable dining experience. The menu focuses on robata skewers, sashimi, and sushi, and everything we tried was excellent from the avocado robata and crispy rice to the yakitori and the final dessert. The space itself feels open and stylish, with glass walls and an interior that beautifully combines Japanese aesthetics with California’s relaxed vibe. Guests can choose from the main dining room, the lively bar lounge, or the outdoor patio, making it versatile for any occasion. The offerings are extensive, with appetizers, salads, and main dishes, as well as an impressive drink selection including sake, craft cocktails, California wines, craft beers, and whiskeys. The atmosphere was vibrant with groups enjoying themselves, yet it still felt perfect for a special dinner or even a romantic date. The background music added to the inviting ambiance, making it a place I would happily return to.
