Tachibana Japanese Restaurant is a popular destination known for its authentic Japanese cuisine and inviting atmosphere. The menu features a variety of delicious options such as fried soft shell crab, scallops, sashimi special, and the uni and salmon row bowl, which is a standout dish. Guests praise the restaurant for its friendly, attentive service and the quality of the food, which is consistently fresh and flavorful. The restaurant's cozy ambiance includes dim lighting, spacious seating, and wooden furniture, creating a comfortable setting. Many visitors note that the staff has been there for years and knows the regulars well, adding a personal touch. While there may be a wait of up to an hour during busy times, the excellent fish, gracious service, and pleasant environment make it worth it. Standout dishes include the Kanpachi collars broiled with Teriyaki sauce, spicy scallop temaki, and Hamachi or Maguro sashimi, which are considered some of the best items on the menu. However, some find the salmon to be too briny and not as clean or fatty as expected, and shrimp can sometimes be overcooked. Overall, choosing the restaurant’s specialties tends to ensure a satisfying experience, while some filler items may vary in quality. Tachibana remains a favorite for those seeking authentic Japanese food in a warm setting.
