About TANTO Japanese Restaurant

TANTO Japanese Restaurant is a popular authentic Japanese eatery in Santa Clara county, known for its delicious cuisine and lively atmosphere. The restaurant often has a long waiting list, so advanced reservations are recommended. Many customers praise the food, noting that dishes like fried rice balls, duck, beef tongue, sashimi platter, jalapeño poppers, clams, and uni pasta with egg roe are all flavorful and well-prepared. The grilled beef tongue is tender and seasoned perfectly, while the clam soup is hot and delicious with fatty clams. The crispy rice with salmon is a standout, with a crispy crust contrasting with soft rice and salmon in the middle. Portions are large, and the prices are fair, making it a good choice for both quality and value. The service may not always be the friendliest, but many find the waitstaff attentive and quick to respond. The overall experience is enjoyable, especially on a weekday, with a casual and bustling atmosphere that adds to the vibrant dining environment. Although the last call is at 8:30 PM, some customers feel this is a bit early compared to Japanese izakayas, but the high-quality food makes up for it. The restaurant offers easily shareable plates, and many guests appreciate the generous portions for a low price. The sake, including small format junmai daiginjo, perfectly complements the meal, leaving diners satisfied and happy.
