Comment: We dont do much sit down service here, but do get their take out often. The sushi is great quality and price, and staff are friendly.

Comment: The food is always perfect! Its often painfully loud from televisions or music but theyll turn it down if you ask. Service is always perfect, its great! I love the sushi here, its the best Ive found without going over the border.Prices are a little high. A bentou is $26 for mostly fried food and rice.

Comment: They have a great menu that also has pictures. More places should be like that, include more pictures of your food and people might branch out and order something they usually wouldnt. They have a good lunch deal and happy hour prices, I should have gotten pix of their menu for that, woopsOrdered takoyaki (my favorite), spider roll (deep fried crab), spider appetizer, tuna roll. All were great and nicely presented. They have a good amount of TVs, too, looks like a good place to watch a Bills, Sabres, or Bandits game. Service was good

Comment: Taisho Hertel is fantastic! I just hosted my graduation party in their upstairs private party room this Friday, and the staff at Taisho were amazing. We ordered 5 sushi sashimi boats, 2 sushi platters, a tray of chicken fried rice, tonkatsu for kids, 4 okonomiyaki, and a tray of salad for 23 people. The staff arranged all the food buffet style for us, and were extremely attentive to our party the entire night. We ordered multiple rounds of drinks and desserts, and it was very easy to order more food throughout the night when we needed. We had to rearrange the tables to accommodate more people than we initially had planned, and the staff was so accommodating to our needs! The room was perfect for our group size, and the food and drinks were extremely fresh and well made, especially the sushi and sashimi. The price was so reasonable, and I would highly suggest anyone who wants to host a large group event to consider Taisho Hertel. I can’t rave about their staff, food, and drinks enough. Thank you to Andy, and all the other staff who made it such a fun and stress-free evening for us!

Comment: Ordered this place for takeout after having a negative experience somewhere else, the ramen broth was tasty and the takoyaki seemed fresh. My only complaint would be a lack of chopsticks in the order (my fault for not specifying utensils) and the chicken katsu side which honestly didn’t taste that good. Overall a solid 4/5 restaurant however, and I would recommend ordering food from here.

Comment: Great food and even better service! Our waitress was awesome, I told her I had a gluten allergy and she immediately directed me to gluten free menu items. She also brought me a gluten free soy sauce bottle, and was otherwise very attentive. Also the bus boy was very on top of things, and quickly would clear our finished plates. Great experience

Comment: Ive been here a few times since its opening. The food each time has ranged from being alright or really good. This location is much more spacious and decorated than the location in Sheridan Drive. A lot of nice things to look at, especially the giant projector screen. Service has always been attentive and friendly.

Comment: Im so excited, The City of Buffalo has a new upscale Japanese restaurant on Hertel! The food at Taisho Hertel is fantastic, and the presentation of everything we ordered was very impressive. We found the atmosphere and service to be a bit disjointed. Upon walking in, it was great to see they kept the historic Buffalo mural up behind the bar (although the host had no idea of when it was from or where it was taken) I had to look it up to find it was from the 1901 Buffalo Labor Day Parade on Main Street-very cool! The restaurant and bar have great potential, but the complete lack of any music left it feeling lifeless. We had no idea who our waiter was the entire evening. They attempted to bring other tables orders over to us a few times. The service wasnt bad. It was just confusing. You could tell they were trying. We would also love to see some more drink options to stay competitive with the restaurant bars on Hertel. Aside from their specialty drink menu, their options are very limited. Our reservation was for 6 pm on Saturday. We were lucky to find a parking spot right out front (it seems only street parking is available). They seated us promptly when we arrived, which was much appreciated. Overall, it was a very enjoyable evening! With a little fine tuning, Taisho Hertel could easily be in the running as one of the best sushi restaurants in the city!

Comment: First time visiting here and I was pretty underwhelmed. While it is a great space with plenty of seating, I didn’t necessarily love the food. There weren’t many vegetarian options available on such a large menu, and something tasted a bit off with my beef udon soup. Every time I’ve ordered beef udon soup in the past it usually comes with shaved beef, but this seemed to come with leftover cuts of peppered beef. Also one of our three meals came significantly later than our other two mains, which left one person not eating while the other two were. Absolutely loved the veggie dumplings and sushi though!

Comment: We had a fantastic time in this place.I’m someone who goes crazy for some good ramen so I was very exited to try this one out.Menu is massive with many fun options and thankfully comes with a lot of pictures to help you out. Veggie ramen was delicious, one of the best ones I try in buffalo I must say, and my partner had the udon that was also incredible, prices are really good considering we had full meal, from drinks to desert.Very kind staff, and the location is really pretty and can’t wait, for next summer so dine in in their patio and make the experience even better.

Comment: What can I say that I havent said every time I leave Taisho? I love Taisho Bistro. Whether its this location or the original Sheridan location. Taisho never disappoints. The food is amazing, the menu is robust, the drinks are plentiful and varied, the staff and owner are always amazing, welcoming, and helpful. Too many times am I recommend a Japanese restaurant that is not Taisho, and every time I find myself comparing my experience with that of Taisho Bistro. In quality, in experience, in excellence Taisho has consistently stood out amongst their competition. Boasting not just sushi, ramen, and hibachi, Taisho offers wonderful dishes (that I urge you to try) such as takoyaki, tonkatsu, katsu curry, yakisoba, and a variety of yakitori. Indulge yourself with some sake that isnt just the hot/cold sake, Id recommend Okunomatsu for 1-2 people or the Kurosawa for groups of 4+. If youre looking for an amazing and delicious Japanese experience, do yourself a favor and go to Taisho Bistro. See you tomorrow!
