Taiko Japanese Restaurant has a long-standing presence in the community, attracting both new and returning customers. 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. However, some customers have noted issues like overcooked sesame chicken and less-than-fresh tuna sashimi. Service can be inconsistent, with orders occasionally mixed up, but staff are generally friendly and attentive. The restaurant also offers shareable options like seafood and sukiyaki nabe udon, which provide hearty meals. Overall, Taiko is seen as a nostalgic spot for many families, serving decent Japanese food in a convenient location, making it a solid choice for those craving a variety of Japanese dishes.
