Food was not very flavorful and lacked seasoning. Service was good but confusing with the use of iPad (had to ask about items from iPad menu if they were available).

Definitely would not recommend coming here, especially if you are in a bigger party. We had 9 people here for a birthday celebration – food and drinks were really slow and came out staggered. Almost 1.5 hours before all the dishes finally came out.
And service was also not great – the server brought out a drink that we didn’t order by mistake, told us we could have it on the house, but ended up charging us for it anyway. Had already left when we noticed it. Also told us cake fee was $10, but ended up charging us $20.
Food-wise, very hit or miss. The unadon, hamburger steak, and curry udon were all really good, but the yakitori skewers tended to be disappointing. The Tsukune was dry, the Negima was quite bland. The Miso Black Cod was also quite overdone, became quite rubbery when served and also was cold.
Overall, I would not come back again, or recommend it. Given the price point, I expected that the food and service left much to be desired.

I really enjoyed this restaurant — every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious. We started with oysters, and they were huge — gorgeous, royal-sized, and so fresh. The ramen was excellent; we tried two different kinds, and both were rich and flavorful. For dessert, we had a matcha cake and a tiramisu, both of which were outstanding. We also ordered caviar and beef, and again, everything was perfectly prepared.
The service deserves special mention — the waiters were attentive and friendly, and the host and staff made us feel very welcome. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the experience and would gladly come back.

The Sashimi was amazing! All was super tender! Albacore, yellow tail, scallops, tuna & salmon with real wasabi. Absolute recommend!

Hi everyone,
I wanted to share my recent experience at Taberu Japanese restaurant I tried out recently. Overall, I had mixed feelings about my visit.
The food at the restaurant was certainly unique, catering to those with a particular taste. Our waiter was pleasant and kind, which added to the positive aspects of the visit. However, I must admit that I was disappointed with a few aspects of the experience.
Despite having made a reservation, the food took an unusually long time to arrive, leading to a significant wait time. Additionally, I found the drink options to be quite limited, which was a bit of a letdown.
One aspect of the location that I found off-putting was the surrounding area. To get to the restaurant, we had to drive past a large number of homeless individuals, which made me feel uncomfortable. While I don’t want to speak negatively about the restaurant, I have to admit that this particular establishment may not be the right fit for me.
I appreciate the experience for what it was, but I don’t think I will be returning in the future.

I came here twice recently. The first time, it didn’t feel like my server understood the menu well. I asked about the beer garden and other things like the sake bomb and his answers were confusing.
Regardless of all that, the vibe of the restaurant was great. We got the seafood tartar, potato salad, ribs and the wow gyu uni donabe. We also got some pretty drinks but frankly they were a bit too sweet. The food flavors made up for it BUT we did get a seafood tartar with dirt still in the roots of the micro greens. I sent it back and they redid it but honestly I felt they should have comp’d it. Having been in the service industry for years, it honestly was a major quality check issue but they brushed it off like it was nothing but an apology. We still paid for the dish. The flavors of the food made up for it. The items we had were decent enough for us to be willing to come back.
We had friend coming into town that loves izakaya type restaurants so we took a risk to come back to try the beer garden and this time the experience was much better! Ken, our server was on point; the pace of the beer garden dishes were great, and you can’t beat all you can drink for 1.5 hours. All the food for the beer garden experience was great too! Thanks Ken for making our second experience much better!
Recs:
The sauce they had on the edamame was delicious! The karage breading was bomb. Definitely recommend the skewers. Potato salad was good with the potato chip textures. I wouldn’t go out of my way for the wow donabe or seafood tartar. The cocktails are a bit on the sweeter end.

The food was great. The unagi was packed with flavor.
The spare ribs were soft enough to cut with chopsticks.
Savior our server was incredible. Very charismatic and attentive despite the restaurant being packed.

I had an incredible dining experience largely thanks to our server and general manager, Savior. He made us feel welcome and truly immersed us in the culture behind the cuisine. Each dish was insanely delicious thoughtfully made and presented to perfection! The sashimi and any skewer on the menu are a must.
Savior took the time to explain the menu in a way that honored the traditions for each dish. His passion for the food and the overall experience made our meal feel special.
I can’t recommend him and this restaurant enough. If you’re looking for a fantastic meal paired with genuine hospitality, you have to try Taberu!

The service was great. Portions are shareable but mostly meant for 2 people. Order extra if you want more than a bite. I would recommend making reservations after 6pm, it gets busy.
Lots of rave reviews on the mochi and maki grill skewers like the Oyster Mushroom but I wasn’t a fan. I think I should be tasting more of what I order than what it was wrapped in. Normally I hate Brussel sprouts with a passion but they cooked it really well in the garlic oil and season with paprika that I actually like the brussel sprouts. I ordered the giner lemonade thinking it would ginger crushed/ mixed with the lemonade but it was just lemonade with pickel ginger on top.
