We placed a Togo order for a delightful variety of dishes at this Japanese restaurant located in downtown LA. It happens to be one of my brother’s favorite places, and he was determined to welcome me with a special dinner from here, despite the crazy Friday traffic in the area. Arriving a little early, we patiently waited for them to open at exactly 5:00 pm. Since our order was quite substantial, they kindly brought the food to our car in the parking structure. My generous brother left a big tip for both the waitress and the person who delivered the food. The entire family thoroughly enjoyed the meal. I opted for the chirashi, which was a generous portion of fresh sashimi, rice, and a variety of veggies. It paired perfectly with my niece’s favorite beer, Allagash Curieux, which I found to be excellent. Later, we also indulged in some sake. The gathering was filled with heartwarming conversations and scrumptious food, making it a truly cherished moment for all of us. Such experiences remind us of the joy of family gatherings and the simple pleasures of life.

My wife and I have been dining here for years (mostly dinner) and we like the Unaju (pictured) and Chirashi Bowl.

The worst sushi place ever..the Taisho has some kind of a weird policy where you can’t order certain foods on the counter. First red flag. I wanted to get the Matsu Nigiri combo so I went ahead and switched to a table. The sushi came out and the nigiri sushi was literary made miniature. I lived in Japan for 20 years and LA for 10 years and never seen anything like this lol I couldn’t believe it at first but see the pictures for your reference. The rice amount is literary the size of your nails. Do yourself a favor and never come here for sushi. You’re gonna get robbed.

Before COIVD this place had amazing food qualities and good service. But I think they sold to another owner. The food isn’t tasty that good as before and serves was unbelievably bad. Won’t be back again. I don’t think this business will stay long. Very disappointed.

This spot is the bomb!!! Spicy Salmon, Spicy Tuna, Octopus, and Chirachi Box. You gotta try it! When you come to the door, please wait to be seated. And be nice. I witnessed an impatient meathead try to storm in. Geeeez…. He definitely missed out on some great sushi.

Took a friend for an impromptu omakase lunch at the sushi bar. Pretty much a tasting menu of their today’s special/fresh catches. Super fatty toro, and tried some that are usually rarely appeared on the menu. Love it! Very good quality & freshness. Their marinated mushroom was soo naturally sweet (no sugar added). $140 per person (this price might change based on type of fishes available. It’s comparable to those more famous omakase joint. Just that you are not paying extra for the decoration. This is a cozy family run old school goodness. Oh and their house made wasabi/scalllion sauce is so good I wish I could buy some to take home!

Great lunch spot. Their chirashi hits the spot—good portions, good cuts, and comes with miso soup and little side dishes. There was no line when I came at 1pm on a Wednesday. Parking validation provided. It’s inside on the 3rd floor and either they don’t have a sign or the neon doesn’t work, so it’s easy to miss.

A very traditional Japanese restaurant inside the mall at the top floor. They are known for their Chirashi Bento Boxes and that is what we went with. We ended up getting the Chirashi Take and Chirashi Matsu. The Matsu has some additional seafood including scallops, sea urchin and roe. It was really fresh and presented nicely! The service was good and attentive as well. Glad we tried out this simple and humble spot!

Low key spot that offers delicious sushi at a reasonable price. Service was good despite there only being one server and a constant stream of customers. Upon hearing it was my birthday, they brought us sake shots on the house – so sweet!
