Service was friendly and completely on point. You gotta love a restaurant when the moment you've drained your ice water, your server is immediately there with a refill. Taiko has a huge menu, pretty much catering to anything you might hanker. I noticed that in addition to traditional Japanese fare, there were Chinese and Thai dishes as well. For starters we went with the shumai, miso soup and harumaki. The shumai was very good, though I'm a little less certain about the vinegary dipping sauce that came with the shumai. The miso soup was good and we liked the finely diced tofu in it. Harumaki are crispy spring rolls, and we liked these too. We also ordered an eel roll. It had been broiled and with the sauce on it was very tasty. JP's entrée was the Pork Katsu bento box. The pork katsu was excellent and so were the California rolls that came with the box. The bento box also came with miso soup and a side salad. My entrée was the Beef Udon. Very attractively presented, it had a smoky flavor and was packed with beef along with bits of asparagus and zucchini. It was pretty good. We were pleasantly surprised at the end of our meal to receive complementary scoops of a delicious vanilla ice cream. Considering the excellent service, big menu and good food, I'm going with five stars.

While the people working were nice and checked in with us many times, the issue was with us receiving our orders. We had a larger party, and expected a longer wait for food, which was fine, but the food came out at different times. By the time the last person got their food, the first few people were already finished eating. For food, I ordered a spicy salmon roll and a salmon skin roll. The fish-to-rice ratio on these was good, pretty typical order. This isn't the best salmon skin roll I've had. The salmon skin wasn't crispy because they left some of the meat on, which could be seen in the roll, so it was hard to chew through at times. This is serviceable sushi, but doesn't sit high on my list.

I feel like sometimes happy hour sushi can be hit or miss, but the quality here was actually impressive, especially for the deals they offer.

And we love new and fun experiences. So when I found an all you can eat sushi place served on conveyor belt, we were like sign me up. We were use to Kura and we love AYCE. So we made the 90 minute drive. The place has such an aesthetic vibe it just seems like a very cool place. And our server was very helpful and amazing with us. But I guess what was disappointing was the lack of choices, and even fresh choices on the conveyor belt. And the rolls and food we ordered that came on the mini train, as fun and exciting as it was, was inconsistent. Some rolls hit the spot and I wish I could just reorder over and over. Others were hard to eat, mainly because there was a lot of rice and you could hardly taste the quality of the seafood. I don't know if we just came on an in busy night or a busy time (a Sunday night around 5:30) but the expectation of more quality choices on conveyor belt and more consistent rolls I think would have helped us to justify the drive. Did we still enjoy ourself? Yes. And I would totally make the drive over and over IF I know that the quality of the rolls and the choices of the conveyor belt were what would consider worth it. The verdict is still out there.

At the time of this review, it's the second time visiting-- in case the sushi was not consistent. One of the first things that stood out was the prices.

As I was taking a walk I happened to pass by Yamazato Sushi and Spice and said why not. BTW, I LOVE sushi and can be a harsh critic. I started with an order of shumai (6 petite pieces) and knew the rest of my meal would be excellent. It was flavorful, sumptuous with just the right amount of crisp and softness. One of the things I always struggle with at a sushi restaurant is portion size. Mostly on the "too small" size but sometimes on the "too big" In this case it was borderline perfect and bordering on the larger piece. Legit 2-bite nigiri, with the rolls being cut for a mouthful, but not quite embarrassing. As per my usual I enjoyed an ebi, hamachi and unagi on the nigiri side and my roll was the Volcano. Yum, Yum, Yum and YUMMM! All good, all fresh, all nicely prepared. Washed it all down with an unfiltered cold saki and was completely content and satisfied. The ambience was open and inviting and the restaurant was mostly full with more people arriving (always a good sign). The service was friendly, efficient and helpful, so a big shoutout to Min. And a BIG thank you to Steve, the owner, who was gracious enough to spend some time with me and chat before I departed. Looking forward to returning the next time I make my way back to the DC area. Alexandria, I believe. Cheers, JimG

However, I was a bit disappointed in the sushi. I thought it lacked flavor that I get at other places. I ordered the lady killer and it's probably my fault but I didn't realize it was cucumber on the outside. I was a bit disappointed when it arrived to my table. The vegas roll and the classic ship tempura were probably the best out of everything I tried. The pork katsu was okay, it actually had a bit of an oil smell to it. Not the best I've had. Overall, I think the food could use a bit of improvement but the service and the space itself was great.

Service | Quality | Portions…read more Service - Excellent service from start to finish. The staff is knowledgeable about the menu, understands the pairings, and makes thoughtful recommendations. The experience feels polished and attentive without being overly formal. Quality - Don't let the name fool you. This is an elevated dining experience built around traditional American dishes. The menu takes familiar comfort foods and elevates them through quality ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and well-executed pairings. Upscale without being pretentious. Portions - Definitely show up hungry! The menu offers plenty of options, and the portions are generous. It's a great combination of quality and quantity, with dishes that leave you full and satisfied. Pro tip: Plenty of parking available, making the visit convenient and hassle-free. Pro tip: Surprisingly busy during lunch. Make a reservation during peak hours rather than assuming you can walk in and grab a table.

Pleased to report another noteworthy experience across the board ... bar, server, seating, starters, entrees, dessert (and one of the desserts was even sweeter as it was complimentary for the couple celebrating their anniversary) and our tab! We started at the bar. My Espresso Martini was (a little light but) enjoyable and my friend's beer was complimentary ... already a WIN in my book. The Ozzie rolls, calamari, lobster bisque, spinach-artichoke dip were satisfying. Our entrees were mostly repeats ... 4 people had salmon and the 2 remaining orders were the trout and crab cakes. No complaints from anyone. Brenna (spelling?) was gracious, entertaining and a joy to work with. Another HUGE selling point was how economical Mike's has remained. KUDOS to corporate for that! One minor complaint was regarding the 2 Mojito's that were ordered ... both people said they were a little weak (echoing what I said about my cocktails). Noted, but not a deal breaker. The good most def outweighed the "bad" during this visit. As for the parking, we forgot how much easier it is to park in the CVS lot and just walk across the street.

The sushi itself was great, the ingredients tasted fresh and high quality, and you get a lot of food for the price. They also actually speak Japanese, which was a nice surprise. The veggie tempura appetizer was pretty small, although it was inexpensive, and some of the sides weren't anything special. The biggest downside was the wait--it took about 30 minutes. That said, ordering is done by QR code, so it doesn't really seem like a service-focused place, and it looked like they may have had a huge catering order ahead of mine. There were also plenty of customers coming in and picking up orders, so they were definitely busy. Overall, I'd give it around a 4. The sides could be better, but the sushi itself was good and the value was good. One random thing. the country music was such an odd choice for the atmosphere
