While some reviews mention that the food quality has varied over the years, it remains a popular choice. Diners appreciate the large portions, particularly with dishes like sesame chicken and chicken teriyaki, which are known for their juicy and flavorful preparations. The chicken teriyaki features grilled chicken with a balanced teriyaki sauce. Many guests highlight the freshness of the fish, especially the sushi, with some describing it as very Japanese and authentic when ordered correctly. The restaurant offers a variety of Japanese dishes, including the sweet shrimp boat loaded with crab and shrimp, and the fried head of the shrimp, which is rich and soft. The matcha Mont Blanc ice cream dessert is praised for being unbelievable. The wagyu sushi, which is surprisingly made with beef, is considered outstanding and worth trying. Service is generally friendly and attentive, with fast service at the sushi bar. Portions are large, and the food is fresh and of superb quality. The restaurant is a popular spot for celebrating birthdays and special occasions. Overall, Taiko continues to serve decent Japanese food in a convenient location, making it a solid choice for those craving a variety of Japanese dishes.
