Tashiro was amazing! Even though we dine in, the sushi rolls we had were fresh and very tasty. The ambiance in the restaurant was very welcoming even with a pick up order. The service was quick and the food was well packed, avoiding any spills on the drive home. The beef plate and the scallops rolls were great! read more

My mom and I have been coming to Tashiro for years as it's been our go-to sushi spot. We haven't been here in a while since I moved to West LA a few years back and just dined again and had a great experience. There's not many Japanese owned local sushi spots left so it's great seeing Tashiro still in business. Sushi Chef Shin san is super friendly and personable. If you sit at the sushi counter and it's not too busy, he makes your meal enjoyable with conversation and provides recommendations. The hamachi (yellow tail) was super fresh and the right amount of fattiness. The tai (Red Sea bream?) was also delicious and not chewy at all, which many places tend to be. The cut on the fish is quite generous compared to a lot of sushi places these days - the fish to rice ratio is great! It's the small things, but their hot green tea is great. :) Parking isn't an issue since it's in a strip mall. read more

Quaint charm and wonderful service. The fish was fresh. Music not insanely loud to the point you're yelling back and forth to keep a conversation. Sunday evening and it was a full house so we sat at the bar in front of the chef. All whom are extremely attentive and friendly. We ordered two orders of each; spicy bluefin tuna roll, crunchy spicy tuna roll, and bluefin nigiri (which I did not get a picture of because it was instantly in my mouth when placed in-front of me lol) read more

Lovely restaurant with good service despite how busy they are. Very crowded as your table is right next to the next with little room to squeeze yourself in. Some dishes were excellent while others were just okay. However, the bathrooms are disgusting and dirty, with who kbow what wet substance all over the floors and toliet seat. read more

Seriously outdated prices on their website. Restaurants need to make even a little effort to keep websites fresh. I chose to visit because prices seemed reasonable. The Sushi Deluxe on the website was listed at $15.95. Actually price upon arrival was $24.95. Sushi was mediocre. Maybe it was an off night but fix your damn website. read more

The food at Tashiro is always excellent. It's a local established restaurant located in a small strip mall with lots of good parking. It's right across the street from the Terrace Theaters so it's a good pre-show spot. Sometimes there's a wait but 6 pm is generally a good time. They have a very active sushi bar which has a fair amount of seats. Give it a try. read more

Adorable restaurant with delicious sushi! I dined with a friend, and was pleasantly greeted and sat by our server, who was helpful with my questions about the menu. The ambiance is very casual. You can sit in a standard table or you can sit in front of the chefs as they prepare the sushi. The layout is quaint and lovely. I started off with shrimp tempura and miso soup, which were great! For my entrees, I got the spicy shrimp sushi and the bakes crab roll. All of the seafood tasted extremely fresh and each bite was delicious. My friend ordered a deluxe sushi plate, which featured an assortment of raw fish and vegetables. Since we were sharing, I tried the salmon and tune, which were amazing! I definitely recommend this adorable restaurant, and hope to return in the near future! read more

Outstanding! Food was a perfect combination of simple, traditional, fresh Japanese with some Americanized options, but not overkill with everything covered in mayo. Amazing service. We could not believe how friendly, calm, and expedient our waitress was, especially since every table was full. Very kid friendly, but not a deafening noise level of ambience. Unlike some of the other reviews, we were amazed at the price. Easily 30% less than we would have paid at the places we go to in Redondo or on the hill. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We will certainly be back! read more

I've been in the area forever and this is the first time I was able to stop in. The food was solid maybe a bit American-ized, but basically good. Interior was pretty comfy - maybe a bit traditional cafe setup. Service was excellent. We were there on a Friday at about 6pm and skirted a rush because we had a party of 2. If you're more people than that, be prepped for a wait if you're walking in. Parking is pretty easy tho. read more

Food is meh. Tempura was too greasy, and fish (in sushi) tasted old. Would rather go to Gardena for quality Japanese food.

Great ambiance and food. The rice was cooked to perfect and the rolls are so good. The crispy rice was way too hard so I wouldn't get that again but the spicy tuna on top was delicious. read more

Food was excellent, Sushi was fresh and the chefs were nice. Service was prompt and friendly. AMAZING ambiance loved sitting at the sushi bar they have nice music and it's not a loud restaurant by any means. Perfect for a first date or catching up with a friend. DEFINITELY will be back read more

Pleasant surprise. Was looking for a sushi spot that definitely offered sashimi (avoiding rice for keto) and decided to try this place. Best decision ever! Each sashimi piece was fresh and enjoyable. My partner enjoyed the rolls ordered as well. Service was superb and parking was not an issue. I know I'll be coming back frequently! read more

First time trying this place after moving to the neighborhood during the pandemic. We ordered the miso soup, toro sashimi, blue crab roll, rainbow roll, crunchy rice and tuna, and the nigiri sampler they had - all were top notch. The menu is simple and the chefs focus on the quality and execution. Service was great, waitress was always checking in. When you step in you instantly notice that you stepped into a place from the 90's, somewhat nostalgic. Place is small and somewhat intimate giving all diners visual of the prep which is good. All in all will def be back. read more

Great sushi spot in the RPV/San Pedro area. Located on Western, this is a small Japanese restaurant reminiscent of old school sushi restaurants. Because I discovered this restaurant amid the COVID-19 pandemic, I ordered takeout and have not dined in nor dined outdoors here. I ordered my meals via phone. You can try using Doordash, but the service fee on the app makes it really pricey. My order was ready within 20-30 minutes, and it was not too hard to locate in the plaza. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The total charge came out to be in the range I would expect of a Japanese restaurant, but they packaged everything well and neatly. They also do not use plastic containers, which is nice. The sushi was fresh and I think a good amount of food for the chirashi. The sushi deluxe also looked to be a good variety and combination of sushi pieces. I would definitely like to try dining here, but after COVID-19 is no longer a pandemic. read more

We visit Tashiro just about every Sunday. Folks, they have one of the best rolls that I e ever had ... the Stinky Roll. I could type a super long review about how amazing the Stinky Roll and it still wouldn't do the roll justice. The Sushi chefs are true masters of their trade and the staff is super nice. I'd highly recommend giving this place a try. read more

I just discovered this place looking for sushi in San Pedro and based on the reviews I had to try it. It's in the strip mall off Capitol and Western across from the Ralph's shopping center. I don't know how they stay in business as they are open from only 5pm-845pm but maybe that's why they can keep their fish fresh. The prices are sushi prices and you get what you pay for. I will definitely be back. read more

My sisters dine there regularly and I join them often. The sushi and other menu items are consistently very good. They recovered nicely from new ownership and the pandemic. The hot food items from the kitchen like Stuffed Jalapeño peppers, Chicken Karage and Pampano are always expertly prepared and delicious. The sushi preparation and presentation are always very good and satisfying. Top it all off with attentive friendly service and you will see for yourself why it's always busy. read more

Too much hype on this place. Stuff is great , but there is no good assortment what so ever. No Magic Rolls, just your basic rolls which are more rice than fish. NOT AT ALL HIGHLY RECOMMENDED . Sorry . They need to Revamp the menu. Insane - this is not a 4 star at all. read more

(with tears) I feel like I just broke up with a longtime girlfriend. After tonight I'm not going back, and I've been 'dating' Tashiro since the 80's. My reviews have ALWAYS been consistent about how inconsistent their service is, tonight was exemplary, even for Tashiro. For starters, on this Wednesday night the restaurant was half full, yet the service seemed like they were packed and running a wait, SLOW and overwhelmed. Our miso soup came out as the 3rd or 4th item, AFTER I reminded our server that we ordered miso soup. The closer was my unagi hand roll which I asked to be scratched from the order after we were finished and expecting the bill. I can only make so many excuses, I think they call it Stockholm Syndrome, but I've finally seen the light. Tashiro, shame on you!! You really need to up your game, mediocrity (being kind) is not a formula for success. I will miss you, we had MANY, MANY good time together over the last 30 years, BUT, sayonara! (more tears) Without wanting to sounding disrespectful, I was also not thrilled to see a homeless individual taking refuge for the night, some 10 yards from the front door - legitimately sad. read more

A small neighborhood sushi restaurant run by very nice people - but is completely understaffed and a little crowded for my covid-19 taste. It was full capacity seating and very few customers wearing masks. Seating is really tight - my seat bumped against the back of another customer. The food was slightly above average for a neighborhood sushi joint - pretty fresh but not worth making a special trip. But I it took over 20 minutes to get our nigiri plate and by then everyone else in our party was already done with their meal. Maybe if they built a parklet or some outdoor seating I might come back if I were in the "hood, but as it stands the food isn't good enough for me to risk covid. read more

They no longer serve lunch. Boo. But dinner is definitely worth going to. Delicious Japanese food. Surprisingly good. Anxious to sample the rest of the menu. read more

Just not as good as before. The fish wasn't very fresh, fewer specialty rolls and the staff didn't seem very friendly.

First time ever last night. Busy, but able to sit right down as a table of four at about 7:30. The room was a bit louder than you might expect at a Japanese restaurant, with boisterous regulars carrying on at the bar (putting the "bar" in sushi bar). Menu was broader than expected. Sushi, of course, plus a good selection of hot and cold appetizers, including tempura and some teriyaki. Also saw some sukiyaki. Big emphasis on combos at around $17 each, but you can also do a la carte fairly reasonably: I went with the delicious "Spicy Louisiana" cut roll ($6.95) It was eight pieces with spicy mayo and a sprinkling of fish eggs...delicious! On the side, I got the large-ish Garden Salad ($4.50) which was actually shareable. My kids had a Soft Shell Crab appetizer ($10.50), which was delicious and served with an unexpected bit of potato salad. Asahi Super Dry was a reasonable $6.50 for a large bottle. Service was pleasant and efficient. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

We celebrated 2 birthdays at Tashiro's last weekend and all four of our party left pleased with our dinners. Not often can you find non greasy tempura. The shrimp and veggies were slightly crisp and fluffy, the way we like it. The sushi was delicious and competitive. The dining area is small and the tables too close to one another making it uncomfortable to be so close to other diners. read more

While staying in San Pedro, we drove up to this restaurant because the Japanese restaurant near our hotel closed for two nights in a row. We saw a lot of positive reviews but my intention was to eat sashimi. This is another traditional Japanese restaurant that we found in San Pedro and we're so glad to have found another one as a backup. The restaurant has 3-4 sushi chefs and the bar is pretty big. We sat at a table. I ordered a bento box of chicken teriyaki and sashimi. Hubby had sushi deluxe. My sashimi had some nice pieces. The cuts were pretty big too. I tried a piece of Hubby's sushi and I must say the pieces were really good and fresh. I really liked their salmon. We were very satisfied with our dinner. We would dine here again if we stayed here longer. The service was ok, the waitresses forgot to bring water and napkin that we asked three times, and the place wasn't too crowded at the time. If you're around the area and love Japanese food, try this place. read more

I like sushi places. They may be on the expensive side, but if the quality is there then it's definitely worth it to splurge on sushi now and again. Tashiro definitely falls under this category. It has some of the best sushi I've had in the area, but it definitely isn't the cheapest meal out there. I don't know how often I'll be coming here on a casual basis. However, when I'm in the mood for some raw fish, there's no getting around the fact that everything served here sushi-wise are quality selections. If you're planning your next Sushi-palooza then you need to be planning to come to Tashiro. read more

We went here based on all the positive reviews. Here's a review from a person of Japanese descent. 0 stars for the sushi. Old rice that didn't stick to the nori. Fell apart and tempura dry batter that seemed stale. They separate the patrons who's ordering sushi from the ones who want to also order dinner. I grew up with my aunties and baachan making sushi. 4 stars for the beef sukiyaki. That was delicious! It wasn't salty! The tofu and beef was wonderful! Not overcooked! The shirataki noodles were delicious! Wish they were more in it! A big hint for sushi restaurants are that the sushi bar should be packed more than the restaurant side. Hardly anyone at the sushi bar. Go to Gardena for good sushi!! read more
