Taira Sushi&Sake Garden Grove Reviews
Taira Sushi & Sake was such a pleasant surprise and for the
Taira Sushi & Sake was such a pleasant surprise and for the price point, their omakase was amazing. The selection of sushi was vast and the chef made sure to ask us if there was any kind of fish we did not eat. We are very open-minded diners so C

This place used to be more of a quick casual dining spot, but after COVID they remodeled -- now it feels way more intimate and upscale, and you need reservations. I'd been trying to go ever since the change but could never commit... until my fri

We had an incredible experience at this sushi spot! The service was warm and attentive from the moment we walked in, and the fish was some of the freshest I've ever had. We did the omakase (10- and 12-piece) and every course was memorable. Strip

I honestly don't even want to review this place because I want to gatekeep it but it was one of the best dining experiences I think I've ever had. It's a small and very intimate restaurant with only a couple tables and bar. We did the
Second time back in a month.
The food is amazing, service is tentative, friendly. Parking is plenty. RSVP only.
Seriously the best no frills omakase spot in Orange County.
Tucked away in an unassuming shopping plaza, it's the kind of place you might miss if you didn't know better, but once you dine here, you'll understand why it's on the Michelin recognized list. The experience is intimate and pers

Wow. I'll just get that out off the bat. This place is the real deal and deserves every 5 star review that they've got. I would give it 10 stars if I could. I brought my girlfriend in for her birthday and we both had the 12 piece omakase ($

This place is wonderful for the price, and probably closer to a 4.5 but yelp doesn't allow for half star ratings. This lovely spot is truly a hole in the wall sushi establishment, and even more unusual is it's located in Garden Grove which isn't wel

Hidden gem in the heart of Koreatown, Orange County with a hand-written menu. The restaurant is run by 2 people, Japanese Chef Ben and wife Ayako. They were very attentive and welcoming. Called on a Monday and made reservations in advance for dinner.
I have been waiting to try this place.
For the price of 12 pieces of Omakase, it was an excellent deal. The Tsumami dishes were all excellent and very delicious. Using truffle oil overpowered the natural flavors of the fish. I can't understand it.

Amazing quality food for great prices, no wonder they are always booked. Not only was the 12 piece omakase delicious and creative, but the izakaya items we ordered were also a hit. The chicken wings were probably the best I've ever had. Eggplant and
great selection of fish and small plates.
family owned. very good service. biggest downside is for $$$$ the pieces of fish are small when you compare to other comparable places of quality/price.
Definitely deserve as a hidden gem.
Please make reservation and don't blame if you can't get a table for walk in. Family owned and very friendly atmosphere. They don't treat you as customer, they treat you as friend to hang out with them. You don't only get sashimi from Japan, but a
Good sushi and Japanese food
We stopped off here for some teriyaki, chicken, sushi, and other Japanese delicacies. The sushi was fresh and delicious. The chicken bowl was very tasty.. The teriyaki chicken was enjoyed by everybody. As with sushi just about anywhere, it is not

Food : 4/5 .
Appetizers were good. We love their monkfish's liver, beef tongue, chiles toreados. We got their 12 pieces Omakase. 1st round 6 pieces were not impressed. Rice was little hard and the nigiri was lack of flavor. 2nd round make up with better flavor bu

From start to finish, this Omakase experience was top notch.

A sweet surprise.
My friend and I were looking for a half-decent sushi place nearby and stumbled upon this little gem. It's literally hidden at the very end of a dark plaza. Luckily we called before coming and they were able to take us. It's a very cozy little spot, a
The best omakase I've had at such an affordable price.
Heads up that it is on the bland side so you can taste the fish better. We didn't want to ask for soy sauce. Certain cuts and combos were more flavorful. It was so good that I had to get additional toro and uni. I am definitely coming back.Heads up,

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Taira Sushi&Sake Garden Grove. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Taira Sushi&Sake Garden Grove at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Taira Sushi&Sake Garden Grove page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Taira Sushi&Sake Garden Grove to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Taira Sushi&Sake Garden Grove!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
