Amazing, unique food and the staff make you feel like you are a guest in their home. Its always delicious and a fun experience. I also enjoy watching the very funny chef cook on the grill. Never a dull moment.

Nice quality skewers, and very compact yet unique sake list make this place a cozy spot to enjoy yakitori as if you’re in Japan. The stand-out feature of this place is that the owner and servers take great care in pacing your meal versus just bringing everything out at once. Did I mention the great care the staff takes to ensure you are enjoying your meal? Highly recommend!

A bit disappointing this time. We had been here about a year ago, and this was the best yakitori restaurant in San Diego. The cook has changed now, and the food is lack luster now. The yakitori was undercooked, and not seasoned - almost tasteless. So much so that this was was first time in any yakitori restaurant that we had to ask for salt to season our own yakitori. They have a sister restaurant where the first old cook works now - looks like we will go to the other restaurant from now on.

I always loved the original Yakyuudoori that was in Hillcrest. The little ramen shop and Hinotez are good too, but Taisho really reminds me of what they had been doing originally. Such good quality, grilled to perfection. It can get a bit pricey, especially if you drink. And before the pandemic we never attempted to try it since they have very limited space and long waits. But this time, we got there right when they opened, and they had several tables set up in the parking lot. Excellent service from everyone on staff.

Arrived at 5:45 and was seated right away at 6:00. Skewers were good to amazing, delicious but far from fancy. Beef, chicken heart, chicken thigh with onions, and scallops were favorites. Service was friendly but not over the top. Pacing was perfect, about 1.5 hours to eat over a large bottle of sake. Any shortcomings of the space were made up for by the quirks, like many unusual but harmless “rules” posted around the place. Will definitely return.
