    Ordered sunset roll for takeout ($17). Rice was hard and dry, making the sushi not enjoyable to eat. Would not recommend.

    Nikki M.

    One of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. The waitress was not just rude--she actually yelled profanities at me during the meal. Completely unprovoked and shockingly unprofessional. I was stunned. On top of that, the sushi was awful. The fish tasted old, the rice was dry, and the entire meal felt like something you'd get from a gas station, not a restaurant. When I brought it up (very calmly), I was met with attitude and disrespect instead of any attempt to make things right. This place is a joke. If you enjoy being cursed at while eating bad sushi, maybe you'll love it here. Otherwise, stay far away.

    Baked Salmon Roll after delivery
    Dr. Amelia H.

    As a door dash delivery, this review is simply the quality and flavor. Nicely made rolls with true sushi rice that stay together even after delivery and dipping into soy sauce. We had baked salmon, rainbow, and salmon nigiri. Slight fishy hint to flavor, and some chew to it but overall pretty fresh; compared to island sushi (Hawaii) we are used too. Salmon lacked some flavor but as a whole 4/5 rating, as it indeed hit the sushi spot.

    The sushi was excellent and came out quickly. We ordered the Laguna Beach and Crunch Roll--both were delicious! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. We love this place--whether for takeout or dining in. Highly recommend!

    Little area outside that's dog friendly!
    Haley K.

    My boyfriend and I love coming here and I will explain the loss of star in a moment, but let's start with you should definitely still check this place out. There's a little outside spot that has a few tables that is dog friendly which we love! Also the food is really good and fresh. Service is very fast and they always get our order correct and are super friendly. I really like the spicy pork (I am normally not a pork person)! But it is the right amount of heat and flavor that is Kurt perfect with rice. The custom poki bowls are really great option with always fresh fish. Now the lack of one star comes from a few things. 1. Something about the tempura batter used I am just not a fan of and it leaves a strange taste on my palette. 2. The miso soup was strangely sweet almost like some sugar or something was added. 3. The price of some of the items is a bit high...but it's a sushi restaurant in a popular center in Irvine so that is to be expected. Overall though definitely come in a try a variety of their options!

    No carbs sushi very good

    Good sushi place on the high end related to cost but you are in Irvine, everything is expensive. Great for lunch and walking distance from work for me.

    Shrimp Tempura

    I've been in this plaza many times but didn't know there was a sushi spot, but I'm so glad I discovered a new sushi place I can go to! My friend and I got the Red Dragon, shrimp tempura, and Laguna Beach. The laguna beach was definitely the best and I would 100% get it again. The red dragon was a 3/5 and shrimp tempura was really good. I'd definitely be back and would try another roll in place of the red dragon

    First time visiting and here are my takeaways: 1. You can sit anywhere you'd like after being acknowledged by the host. The host also stands behind the ordering counter as the restaurant doubles for take out and sit in. 2. Menu prices are a little bit pricey and I know this because when you look at basic items, they are overpriced. One portion of miso soup is $4, but I guess with todays inflated prices, you can consider it normal. This is the standard cup you'd get at other restaurants. The rolls, however, can be considered fair pricing for what they are. A huge bonus is that these rolls are thicker and will fill you up! They're delicious and fresh as well. 3. Sushi Taka uses a paper menu that you can mark for items of choice and quantity. I'd come here again for a hungry, craving sushi day. Go straight for the special unique rolls. Don't waste too much time on the basic items because you will get full very quickly (:

    Nice lady roll and crunch snack roll
    Chanel K.

    Wow. We live close by and definitely slept on this place. The sushi rolls are packed with quality ingredients. One roll is perfect for one person for a nice filling lunch. They have a buy one get one half off for drinks every day. The service is very friendly and quick. We had a late lunch on a Saturday and it was quiet but some other tables were seated. It is a smaller restaurant but clean and a great place for lunch or dinner. Will definitely be trying it again! Especially for take out or dinner sometime soon.

    Plate with cruch & rainbow roll!
    Leslie S.

    This was my first time here and I had a great experience! We went with a friend who is a regular and knew the waitress. Apparently they are really good with making special orders upon request. For example, my friend has to watch his salt intake so instead of miso soup and salad he gets a double salad portion. He also gets some rolls with less sauce. There aren't any "lunch specials" but they always have the plate menu where you pick 2 items on the smaller menu list for $18 or 3 for $25. It also comes with a soup and salad. I ordered the Rainbow Roll and the Crunch Roll. Both were delicious. I could tell this restaurant uses good quality dish. My husband also ordered the Rainbow Roll and the Sunset Roll. The Sunset Roll ended up being my favorite, I'll have to order that next time!

Loved wrapping it in the extra seaweed Unagi toro bowl, bomb. 9/10, -1 point cause wish more unagi. Sasha platter was good! 9/10 thick yummy fresh pieces. My toro had a stringy section but other than that was good. 9 pieces was good to share for 2 amongst other dishes Angel our server was so nice!! Great service. Drinks are so bomb!! The henny strawberry was strong and sweet 8.5/10 Lemon drop, delicious as a lemon drop usually is 9/10 Lychee martini also delicious perfectly balanced and sweet 10/10 Special shoutout for their ginger too, tasted like they pickle it and has a sweetness to it too. Like I said in the details. Amazing food great service will definitely be back

Everything is always super fresh, and the service is great. The portions are perfect for sharing but still feel generous. The sea bass kushiyaki literally melts in your mouth, and the prime beef kushiyaki was so tender. The blue crab uni bowl is also really fun because you get to make your own hand rolls. The cuts of sashimi are always really thick here too. Overall, you really can't go wrong with anything here. The interior is spacious and modern, making it perfect for a date night or girls' night out. They also have private rooms if you're coming with a larger group or celebrating something special. Definitely one of my go-to spots in OC when I'm craving Japanese food. Parking is easy in their paid structure -- just be sure to validate before you leave!

Every visit has been a great experience, especially when it comes to their consistently excellent customer service! I almost always order one of their udon dishes, but I'll usually get some sushi to share, too. Their fish is always incredibly fresh, and I love that they don't skimp on portion sizes. One of my favorite hand rolls is the salmon oyako hand roll because they give you such a generous amount of salmon. I also like ordering a side of ponzu sauce because it pairs perfectly with their rolls and adds such a nice, citrusy flavor. Another thing I appreciate about Taiko is that I rarely have to wait too long, and the food typically comes out within 10-15 minutes. For the quality and portion sizes, I also think their prices are very reasonable. I'd highly recommend Taiko if you're looking for a great Japanese restaurant with fresh sushi, generous portions, friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to!

You can order through the server and / or through the QR code, where you can also pay through as well.

Great place. Will be back
