If you love sushi, hands down this is the best sushi around. Quality seafood. Fresh. Large portion sizes. Decent pricing. There is usually a wait but you can add your party to the Yelp waitlist for a table. If your party is smaller, sit at the bar for custom orders.

I have eaten sushi all over the US and nobody beats Taiko. Expect 1.5 to 2 hour wait if you go before 7:30 pm. We normally go after 8:30 pm to avoid having to wait. Be sure to sit at the sushi bar as they don't serve hamachi (Yellowtail) bellies in the dining room.
