    I now believe the hype about Puerto Rican Chinese food! We came to this restaurant near our resort that I found on TikTok. The ambiance is great. The food came out hot and fresh And in a timely manner. The service was great and the food was delicious. I started off with the crab tostones. Then I got the orange chicken with a side of mofongo. My friend enjoyed their pepper steak very much that she talked about coming back the entire trip for some more food. That's safe to say we'd gladly be repeat customers.

    This is a good option if you're craving Asian fusion in San Juan. Free parking for one hour. Very touristy and can be crowded, maybe 0-10 min wait depending on your party's size. The orange chicken was very good, and definitely worth ordering. On a breezy night, grab a table outside--probably one of the best places in Condado for people-watching while you enjoy your meal. Good food, lively atmosphere. Only issue is that our server wasn't very customer friendly. He did his job, but lacked the presence I'm used to experiencing.

    We placed a large takeout order from Tayzan after seeing the long line outside and all the great reviews. Since it was just a short walk from our hotel, we decided to give it a try. My parents had eaten here before and said it was really good, so we were excited to see if it lived up to the hype. The restaurant had a lively, bustling atmosphere, with a steady stream of customers dining in and picking up takeout orders. Even though it was busy, the staff kept things moving efficiently. Even for a large order, the wait was only about 30 minutes. They have a separate pickup area for to-go orders, which made the process organized and easy despite how busy they were. We ordered the beef fried rice, house fried rice, churrasco steak, house lo mein, sesame beef, jumbo shrimp, chicken wings, fried pork, pork ramen, and three sushi rolls. The kids in our family chose the Philly Roll, Salmon Avocado Roll, and Red Dragon Roll, and they really enjoyed them. I had originally planned to order a different sushi roll from the menu, but it wasn't available that day. It wasn't a big deal, though, because the rolls we did get were fresh and delicious. Everything was flavorful and well prepared. The churrasco steak was my personal favorite--the meat was incredibly tender and already well seasoned on its own. My husband wasn't a fan of the accompanying sauce, but he agreed the steak itself was excellent. We also really enjoyed the fried rice, and the portions were generous. They were also generous with the condiments and included a variety of sauces with our order, which we appreciated. The only thing we missed was chili oil, since it's a condiment we usually expect to have available at Chinese restaurants. If you're staying nearby or looking for a restaurant that offers both Chinese and Japanese cuisine, Tayzan is definitely worth checking out. Just be prepared for a crowd--it seems to be popular for a reason!

    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.

    We love Chinese/Japanese cuisine, so wanted to give this place a try! The restaurant was busy, so that's a good sign. We were given a choice of inside or outside seating and were quickly sat. Our server was friendly and helpful. We chose to go with the chicken lo mein, the California rolls, the white Fish, Andre, and the Churrasco. One thing I must say, the question size is here awesome! The churrasco was a 12 ounce that was actually a 12 ounce. And the piece of white fish was pretty sizable too. Also, my family of four equally shared the chicken with a good amount left over. When we left, nobody was hungry and everything tasted great. The restaurant was moderately noisy, but still easy to hear.

    The food was amazing! The service was ok, but we never did see a refill. The place is really loud and fun! Short walk from many resorts.

    Udon stir fry with chicken and veggies

    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.

    Their food was good and big portion, you can share with another. There was a wait but the line move quickly. I gave a 4 cos of their parking situation. They have a parking space but hard to find, it right behind their restaurant (across from the pharmacy). But they only validate for 1 hour, I guess that's how they can turn over table so quickly.

    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.

    Crab miso soup, Tayzan mango roll and crab mariposas (rangoons)
    Rizma W.

    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.

    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!

    The Chinese foods here are good. The Lo Mein was very delicious. Plenty of seating was available and we walked in. It was a clean place with decent ambience.' The sushi rolls left a lot to be desired for - the one with the beef in it wasn't quite good. We only ate a piece of it. The crab Rangoons were decent - nothing to write home about. The service could have been better - even with such few people in the restaurant we were waiting many times for service, water, cheque etc.

    I was recently inspired by an IG story by the supermodel, Paulina Porizkova where she spoke about…read morehow governments turn people against each other to control the population. Citing how she was born into communism, then lived in socialist countries and now has made a home in a capitalist society, she spoke with authority about what is happening in the world right now. She eloquently reminisced about her experience in a communist country, where the enemies were the capitalists who, "kept us from achieving our full potential," in the former republic of Czechoslovakia. The overarching message is that there is more power in unity than being in a fragmented society where its people scramble for truth, justice and freedom. A concept like Godai can only exist in a free society. Everywhere I went on this recent trip to Puerto Rico, I heard people talk about this restaurant: on business meetings, at drinks at a hotel bar and from local friends. Apparently, it's a bit of a social media darling among locals. And, there's good reason. What started as a speakeasy omakase establishment by chef couple Cesar and Daysi is now a full-service restaurant with 3 different spaces: izakaya, omakase tasting room and zen garden. Only in an environment where people have the liberty to pursue their passions, learn techniques from different cultures and there's a free exchange of ideas, can a restaurant in one island nation be inspired by the culinary traditions of another island nation. My dining companions and I were so inspired by the well orchestrated and attentive service, I asked Chef Cesar whether he had made everyone read Will Guidara's "Unreasonable Hospitality." He demurred with humility and said, "we're still trying, and thank you." The food was phenomenal. I'm pretty sure it's the first time I've had black truffle shaved over my tuna crispy rice, and it was tasty. We also had the bluefin and salmon crudo, duck fried rice, spicy edamame, shishito peppers, robata miso black cod, Alsatian white wine, unfiltered sake and panna cotta with raspberry. I noted how authentic everything looked and tasted, but there was a local twist and cariño expressed in every dish. This was not fusion, but Japanese food seen through a local lens. It's not so much that they're trying to recreate an experience in Japan, but paying homage with respect to Japanese gastronomy. You might think that Japan and Puerto Rican cultures are polar opposites, but food brings people of all types together. Godai is a great testament of this, and Paulina would certainly enjoy this spot for so many reasons.

    Exceptional service. Staff excelled with attention to detail, being professional yet personal. Food…read morewas top notch, Worth every penny!
