Wish we could've ordered more but we weren't hungry enough to finish all these portions lol. Everything was AMAZING coming from an Asian who grew up in the Bay Area with some of the best Chinese food in the country. It was cool meeting Chinese folks who spoke fluent Spanish, with Boricuan accents!! It's crazy how diverse the Caribbean is, but we love it!!! Their menu is super overwhelming, I literally wish I could try everything. It also gets packed as it's in a busy area but so worth it if you have to wait. Luckily, we walked right in. If you're coming from the beach they want you to cover up BTW. I don't think anything you order from here will be bad, everything smells wonderful and they have a full bar too. We loved the flavor of everything and it's cool to see Chinese and Puerto Rican fusion. Next time I'll have to come back for sure! 10/10 some of the best food I've had on my first visit
FUN spot for a HUGE menu of asian/puertorican food options! Tayzan has a lively atmosphere anytime and anyday of the week and colorful ambiance. The Tostones are a MUST order - so garlicy with a nice fry absolutely delicious. The white fish ceviche and orgasmo roll are also both solid options - not the best ive ever had but still pretty good. We also had the shrimp and lobster sauce mofungo which was delicious. I loved the mofungo - nice and salty and a soft smooth texture! It paired really well with the shrimp and lobster gravy that had fantastic flavor!
This place was sooo tasty i was drooling looking at the menu. It was so hard to choose an option but i went with mongolian beef with tostones and a shrimp fried rice. My friends ordered the churrasco steak with tostones too and man everything was cooked to perfection. The beef was so saucy and flavorful as well as the churrasco. The tostones were perfectly fried and so garlicky it felt like the perfect meal! The service was also exceptional the server was attentive and even cracked some jokes with us. Definitely must try!!
Conviently located on Ashford Ave, I stopped by Tayzan for a late dinner one night as not many other places were open. The food was a little expensive in my opinion for the quantity received, especially relative to other nearby restaurants in San Juan. To go orders are placed at the bar in the back, and I got the sizzling chicken to go with egg fried rice. Service was curt, but I did receive my food in about 10 minutes of ordering it, and ate it within 10 minutes of receiving it. The veggies were fresh but did not have any texture, and the chicken was covered in the teppanyaki sauce. The egg fried rice was satisfactory. Overall, this tasted like your average Chinese takeout spot. I would try another restaurant if you're looking for standout Chinese food!
Tayzan is located in the heart of San Juan on the strip. I stopped in for dinner and drinks with friends, and we had a great experience there. We started off with sushi and we were quite impressed with the selections. We chose one hot and one cold. This was my first time having hot sushi, and I must say I was impressed by the temperature, texture and taste! Service was great and the overall feel of the restaurant was good.
Found this place on TikTok while I was on a cruise. I would definitely say it's a tourist trap but the food is good and the portions are MASSIVE. My food came out really hot! The restaurant was super clean Not a lot of English spoken by the staff so not a ton of interaction with my server. I was very happy with my experience overall.
Now this place is always busy why because the food is good. As any traveler i did my research and wanted to try this spot. Great reviews and convenience of being right around the corner from Condado Beach. Food is pricey but very very tasty. The flavor profiles in the food are outstanding. Inside and outdoor seating which Is great on cool nights.
Delicious food, prompt service. The crab meso soup was good, but I was expecting real crab meat instead of imitation crabby. Was a little disappointed by that. It also would have been great if they had either shredded or chopped the imitation crab meat to make it a little bit easier to eat with the soup spoon. The Tayzan mango roll was very good. Cream cheese and imitation crab meat topped with slices of sweet mango. What's not to love? The Crab Rangoons (which they call mariposas or "butterflies) were delicious. Piping hot and easily some of the biggest ones I've ever had. Be careful when you first bite into them because They arrive fresh out of the grease and that cream cheese is scalding hot! The sushi rolls are a bit pricey, but It's still a great place to satisfy a late night craving for sushi. On the weekends they close at 3:00 a.m. That was so clutch after a long night of drinking and dancing in Santurce.
I saw this recommended on TikTok and this place definitely stays busy, but we were seated immediately for lunch. I ordered the Gyoza as an appetizer and it was okay, nothing special 6/10. I also ordered the Tayzan Guava Roll and Orgasmo Roll, both were really good and tasted pretty similar. My only complaint was the Tayzan roll had too much guava sauce on top, but I'd rather them both a solid 8.5/10. I would've loved to try their Chinese food, because it looked so good. Overall I'd recommend!
I came to Puerto Rico wanting to stick to authentic local food, but I was convinced to try this spot and I have to admit, it was surprisingly good. Parking is a bit of a downside since there isn't much available, so I had to pay for parking. Once inside, though, everything moved incredibly fast. I got my food in less than 10 minutes, which is probably the fastest I've ever been served at a restaurant. It almost made me question how fresh it was, but after eating, I can say it was actually very good. I ordered the grilled white fish with lemon and egg fried rice with yum yum sauce on the side, plus shrimp tempura sushi to go. The yum yum sauce tasted like a mix of ketchup and mayonnaise, but when I mixed it with the fried rice, it was really, really good. The fish itself was tasty but needed more salt I ended up adding salt and squeezing lime over it to bring out the flavor. It seemed like it was only seasoned during marination and not finished properly. The salad wasn't anything special, but overall, for how quickly the food came out, the quality was impressive. Portions are generous, and the pricing matches what you get. We came around midnight and left close to 1 AM when they were closing. The place looked packed, but service was still quick and efficient. Our server was okay--nothing standout, but no issues either. Overall, I'd come back. Fast service, solid food, and a good late-night option. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. GET CHINESE FOOD FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE. Came with a group of nine from different culture backgrounds, and unfortunately the service was a mess from the start. Our server got visibly angry when my friend asked him to repeat an answer to a menu question. The servers response was hard to understand and when asked to repeat himself he actually yelled at my friend in front of the table, snatched the menu out of his hand, and threw it onto a chair behind him. Completely unprofessional and uncomfortable for everyone. We should've left after this, but didn't because we were hungry. Only half the table was asked for drink orders, and the rest of us were given water. I flagged our server down to order a martini that never came, yet they still tried to charge me for it at the end. We waited an hour for our food and it came out at very different times (also not hot), so we weren't able to eat together. The soups were inconsistent. The miso crab soup and the regular miso were prepared differently and both lacked ingredients. We thought it was odd that the miso crab soup had noodles while the regular miso didn't. Honestly felt like a way to make up for the lack of actual crab in it. The sushi itself was disappointing, overall just subpar. I ordered the bento box and wasn't expecting fried salmon (I've never seen it prepared that way), and my food came out last after everyone else had already finished eating. Everything was bland and lacked flavor. This place clearly can't handle parties larger than four otherwise you will be cramped in a corner, and you can only split checks into a maximum of three payments, which no one told us upfront. To top it off, the server still had the audacity to ask for a tip. I had no problem telling him no and stated that we were unsatisfied with both the service and the meal. Coming from someone who works in hospitality, if I had been dining alone and not with eight other people, I would have walked out. That's how bad the experience was. Overall, not a great time and wouldn't recommend this as a restaurant to eat at. Matter of fact, try out Zhencha Boba Cafe for a better Chinese cuisine. I had it on my last trip to PR and went with a group of 6. That place didn't disappoint at all and the service was amazing. Everyone I was with spoke fluent Spanish and I'm still learning, the server was very patient. read more
Impressed that they do both Japanese and Chinese food so well. This place has better sushi than dedicated sushi restaurants. If I lived nearby this would be my go to. Crave worthy and I wanna come back already. Grilled eel with avocado, 5/5: idk what sauce they drizzled on top but one of my favorite sushi rolls I've ever eaten. Get this! Salmon with avocado, 4/5: very simple and delicious. Garlic sauce chicken with fried rice, 5/5! So delicious. Just barely sweet but umami. Love that there's plenty of veggies! The portions are huge. You choose white rice or fried rice, they asked if I wanted brown, but brown means fried rice. Stir fry udon with chicken and veggies, 5/5: the sauce sticks to the noodles so well. Udon is soft and the sauce is really good. I think garlic sauce is better but you can't go wrong with either option. As expected, the place is pretty loud. The cleanup is loud with the utensils clashing around when you're eating. Not a problem for me, since I care more about food and the place was clean. read more

Tayzan Restaurant was excellent! The Chinese food was spot on, fresh and full of flavor. Service was great, we were seated quickly, and they're open late (until 2:00 AM), which is a huge plus. Definitely recommend! read more

This is the touristy sode of town so things will be more expensive. The good portions are big and also have so much flavor. This place is really good to try I loved the orange chicken and the boneless short ribs. The rice was also amazing. Would come back here again. read more
As far as the ambiance, it is in def need of repair. It is not appealing looking at the ceilings in disrepair and some areas of the restaurant need fixed. The food is good, nothing special from what you're used to eating at other Chinese spots. If you are in a large group make sure everyone in the group is there or they won't seat you. read more

I found this place on Yelp and Instagram story. They are opened pretty late (2am). That's another reason why I wanted to eat here after landing almost at midnight. So many options from Chinese or Japanese food (sushi and bento boxes). Back in ct we have crap Chinese food that doesn't even taste good. The friend rice was prob my favorite and full of flavor! The sweet and sour chicken still has a crisp to it after the sauce was poured onto it. That's a plus, I was worried it would have been soggy, but it wasn't. The tostonas was amazing, they have some garlic taste to it and when you dip it into the ketchup mayo sauce, that took it up a notch. The ramen was mid, the broth tastes like basic miso soup. I felt like they threw in the noodles and toppings into the broth. I would def skip out on the eggrolls that has no flavor and full of cabbage. One egg roll didn't even have a shrimp in it. It's hit or miss. Overall, I def would come back again! Try the sushi menu and write another review. read more

Always wanted to try the Chinese food in Puerto Rico and I'm glad I did! It did not disappoint. Ample space in the restaurant including some outdoor dining. It looked crowded but I was able to get a table pretty quick. The servers were not as welcoming but they were quick with getting our orders. However, after we placed our orders, they never come back to check on us. I needed water and had to get up and ask for it. Despite all of that, the food was very delicious. It's better than the Chinese food on the mainland. The Chinese food is not oily at all. It's cooked as dry as it can be and it still has a lot of flavor. We also got sushi (not pictured) and the sushi was great quality. The rice was soft and everything else was fresh. Highly recommend! read more

Great location on the strip and definitely something different to try. It seems very popular with the locals. Very dated decor with inside outside seating. The menu is endless, the staff were friendly and attentive. The Sapporo was very cold and refreshing. The Miso Soup was warm and tasty. The shrimp fried rice was delicious and for the price the serving was generous. Looking for something different, quick, with a great price range here is your place. read more
After many days in Puerto Rico, eating the local flavors, we decided to mix things up and go for Asian food. The menu had both sushi and Chinese food on it and some with a slight Puerto Rican influence. We ordered a roll that had spicy crab, skirt steak/churrasco and plantains. This was the highlight of the meal. Highly recommend it. We another with spicy crab and shrimp. It was typical. Good but not outstanding in any way. And the entree we shared was sizzling churrasco with vegetables. It tasted like a steak and veggies. Decent but not outstanding like we had hoped. The ambience was lively and the decor nice as well. And we had very good service. Glad we stopped in for something different but not a must go to place. But if you do, get that roll I mentioned. read more
I saw place online while researching different places to eat in the area and it was not far from my hotel. Great food! Their menu is extensive. Tons of options and the portions are generous. I tried a salmon tempura roll , chicken fried rice, and house lo mein which included shrimp, steak, and chicken plus veggies. Our total came to about $60. Food is definitely sharable in my opinion as portions are large. My fave was the chicken fried rice and I would've been fine with that alone so think about it before ordering. We were immediately seated. If you're someone who likes to read through the menu, please do I beforehand. While the food was great, server seemed a bit rushed. There was construction going on outside so maybe that played a role but not a very dressed up place. Great for afternoon lunch or dinner very casual! read more

My goodness! This food was delicious!!! Everything! I didn't even have time to take pics of the appetizers lol The steak, pork fried rice, even the fresh salad was good. And that green sauce to die for! Authentic Spanish & Asian fusion at its finest! Besides the food our waiter was a little slow! Had to remind him of our drinks and we waited about 15 mins for him to even come to the table read more
Eating Chinese food is always a must thing to try. No wait, we were seated right away. We got the churrasco udon noodles and the chuletas with fried rice. I liked my the udon noodles a lot but for the price I would like more steak than noodles. The chuletas were good but not something I would order again. Service isn't that great though as people have mentioned so order all you want at once so you're not stuck waiting around to place another. read more

This is one of many restaurants on Ashford Ave. We were greeted and chose to sit outside. 1st visit - the service was decent. The server was attentive without hovering. He did forget my beer. Food was delivered to the table piping hot. Portions are huge and can be shared. Especially if you are getting noodles. 1st visit we got Shrimp fried rice, orange chicken, general tso shrimp, and gyoza. Everything was so good we decided on a 2nd visit. Tried the eel avocado roll, Singapore rice noodles, and general tso shrimp and shrimp lo mein. Food was served piping hot. Pricing was on the high side. The sushi was on the bland side, the Singapore noodles were oily and bland, the other dishes were decent. Portions were enough to share. read more

Last night's dinner was overall a great experience. The ambience was spot on--welcoming, relaxed, and exactly the kind of vibe you'd want for a casual but satisfying night out. We had an estimated 30-minute wait, which was fair given how busy it was, and honestly, the food made it worth it. Speaking of which--the food was phenomenal. Not sure if it was just because we were starving or if a little MSG magic was in the mix, but either way, it was absolutely delicious. Now, for the one downside: our server. It really felt like we were inconveniencing him just by being there. His attitude was cold, almost annoyed, and it showed in how he interacted with us as well as the rest of the customers. Maybe he was running a double shift, who knows--but customer service matters, and it's literally the job to make sure guests feel welcome and taken care of. Despite that, the quality of the food and the vibe of the place were strong enough that I'd definitely come back. Hopefully next time, we get a server who's a bit more present and engaged. read more
Came at Wednesday lunch time. Pretty empty. The place is spacious. They served pretty quick, like 15 mins? Soft shell crab 2/5: mostly flour, barely taste the crab. And it's not coating was not crunchy or crispy.. kinda soft. Masurai roll ?:5/5. It's pretty good! Light sweet sauce on the top and the fish tastes fresh and refreshing. One roll can feed you up nicely already. read more

This was the first restaurant we went to during our recent Puerto Rican trip. It seems to get busy with a lively crowd. They serve PR food as well as sushi and Chinese dishes it appeared. I had the shrimp in mango dish with rice pictured (sorry don't remember the dish name, I'll come back to), it was pretty flavorful and good however very little shrimp to be filling. We also had cocktails which were pretty average, nothing special. I'd say what steered me away from this place is the waitresses are not friendly whatsoever, seem to rush you out as well and I think with how expensive it is it shouldn't feel as if it is a casual Chinese buffet off the side of the road. The environment, service and staff mannerisms overpowered any good to the food for me. read more
Food was absolutely amazing. Customer service a tad slow but it was 130am. Ordered the: Crispy mariposa: 6/10 decent, wish it had more filling General tso shrimp egg friend rice: 8/10 sauce was good, shrimp had nice flavor and crunch Spicy red snapper avacado roll: 8/10 very good. Cooked just enough, recommend Shrimp tempura w/ plantains: 15/10 the sweetness from the plantain complimented the dish surprisingly. Definitely recommend. read more

Good for late night drunken eats as there are limited restaurants open after 10pm in Condado. Food was served hot but lacked flavor. Very over priced like everything on the strip. Service is extremely slow and very minimal but gratuity is automatically included so I'm sure that's why they don't care. Ordered house fried rice with shrimp beef and chicken- i did not like the beef. Also had the fried chicken wings and fries. Needed seasoning/salt. read more
Tayzan was recommended by a local so decided to check it out. We arrived around 7p and it was busy inside but plenty of seating in the patio area. It's definitely spacious with multiple tvs around the restaurant. I started with a mango margarita. It was just ok. I love that you could taste the real mango in it, but there was very little alcohol. The food, on the other hand, was good! I ordered the eel sushi and the spicy red snapper roll. read more
