Tadashi Japanese Restaurant

Came here for my birthday lunch. I am a soft spoken Filapina. I ordered chicken buns and the waitress said one pork, one chicken. I never said pork. This was only the beginning. We ordered a rainbow roll, salmon tacos, beef short rib udon, tuna roll, an one other roll. Everything I said was wrong. Everything my friend said was right. My friend notified the lady that the pork udon that was delivered was not correct. There was no “customer is always right” she told me friend she said pork. She came to the table as asked “ it I wanted to change my order”. I cannot handle spice and my friend doesn’t eat pork. She also brought a mango roll instead of a rainbow roll. Since she chastised us so much about the udon we ate the cost of the mango roll and just added a rainbow roll. Rainbow rolls are my favorite and I make an attempt to try it everywhere I go. She treated us like we made the mistake. She also does not use paper to take the order. From the very beginning she was messing up our order. She did not apologize and treated us like we were changing the order after fact. Usually love this place. I guess I will bring paper and write my own order next time.

I won’t get you. The food is great great enough to where I traveled over an hour to get here to eat with my family. Member of my family does not eat that kind of food so we brought something from somewhere else and we were basically told we were not welcome. I give the service the atmosphere all a negative star but they wouldn’t let me do that on here, it’s a shame, but thanks for ruining. A trip will not be returning.

Tadashi is the real deal—bold flavors, beautifully plated dishes, and a lively, high-energy atmosphere. We went primetime Saturday night around 8PM and had to wait about 30 minutes. The place was packed, wall-to-wall, with a serious buzz in the air. Service was slightly slow but still efficient and friendly. If you’re looking for calm and quiet, this isn’t it. But if you want fire food and a vibe, this place hits.

Flaming Beef Roll
An absolute showpiece. Served still flaming, the thin slices of beef are seared on the outside and wrapped around a warm, creamy roll with avocado and tempura crunch.

Spicy Tuna & Salmon Roll with Tobiko
This one’s a stunner. Inside, spicy tuna and salmon bring the heat; outside, it’s topped with four kinds of tobiko that add color, texture, and just the right pop. Fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced—equal parts kick and finesse.

Cucumber with Sesame Sauce
Surprisingly addictive. Crisp spiral-cut cucumber in a sesame-soy blend with a hit of spice, sesame seeds, and seasoning. Cool, refreshing, and full of umami—makes a great palate cleanser or light bite between heavier dishes.

Spring Rolls
Crispy on the outside, hot and savory inside. The wrapper is fried just right—never greasy—and the sweet chili dipping sauce adds a sweet and tangy contrast that works every time. Classic and done well.

Salted Edamame
Classic, fresh, and exactly what you want. Lightly salted, steamed to keep that clean snap, and served warm. Perfect for nibbling while you wait or to reset your taste buds between dishes.

Fried Calamari
Hot, crispy, and packed with flavor. The batter’s seasoned just enough to bring out the peppery notes, and the squid inside is tender—not rubbery. One of the best versions of this dish I’ve had in a long time.

Tadashi is fire across the board. If you’re going on a weekend night, expect a wait and bring your outside voice. But for great sushi, solid portions, and standout flavors, it’s absolutely worth it. We’ll be back—next time, maybe on a quieter night.

Tadashi is hands down the best sushi spot in State College. The fish is always fresh, the rolls are flavorful, and the ramen hits the spot every time. Great lunch specials and a cozy atmosphere—definitely a go-to for Japanese food lovers.

Great food, staff can be a bit rude though

Everything is delicious here. Always freshly made. Ordering online and pick up in store is great. Wish there was delivery or door dash options. Lunch special is a great option between 11am-3pm

I got sick and had to find bathrooms right after eating lunch there. I wont go back.

I understand that it was a busy day, but it was hard to accept that we saw 3 groups seated after us recieve their orders first. It was a table of two, and we ordered within 5-10mins of being seated. We ended up having to cancel our orders. It was extremely disappointing to have to leave before we received our orders.

The waitresses are always rude and make you feel bad for asking for anything. And I felt a sick after eating their food
