As O’Siders one of the places that we go to is Carlsbad Village which is our sister city. I didn’t know that there was a Sushi place here until yesterday. And I must say that I am really glad that we tried it, because now we have a go to place for Sushi. Unfortunately the one near which is not that great

Our group came here at the recommendation of a local, and enjoyed our sushi massacre. Very fresh, we enjoyed all the dishes we ordered. And some rather unique menu items (fish-veggie combinations) we hadn’t seen before. I like that there were no heavy sauces on the rolls, so the fresh flavors were evident.

This place is sooooo good! My boyfriend and I shared the north coast, honey and Carlsbad lagoon rolls and they were all amazing. This will definitely be our sushi spot from now on (:

Great food & very reasonably priced for the quality. Absolutely wonderful service from our waitress. She was so patient and accommodating to our large unorganized group (with multiple children). My not very sushi savvy husband left full & eager to try sushi again Worth every penny, couldn’t be happier! Thanks so much Sushi Taisho!

Excellent service. Very good food. In our world, it seems more and more service personnel are trying to get paid for less and less work/care. I’m not sure if it was just the waitress/chefs I had or if it’s the whole staff but truly great service. The waitress seemed like she really cared to be there and wanted you to feel welcome. The chefs were also super friendly and checked on me twice. Also the decor and cutlery all feels high end. It’s just refreshing to go somewhere with caring staff and a nice atmosphere. And of course good food.

Couldn’t decide what sushi place to go too, so we went here. We were definitely surprised. It was hands down delish. We came with hungry eyes and ended up taking home a lot. Lol. The prices were fair and they had many great options.

This is one of the best sushi places I’ve been to. The North Coast Roll was spicy and flavorful. The service was great! My only problem is the club/bar thats underneath the restaurant is too loud. You literally can’t talk to your party without yelling, let alone order normally

Kuan Peng

Sushi was decent (salmon and albacore were good), the service wasn’t particularly good (they messed up our order) but the chefs were really nice and helped out. Above a bar so can get a bit loud. No line though!
