Chicken with curry rice was warm and deliciously filling. Curry was thinner than I ideally prefer & not as much curry compared to other ingredients? But it was still good and I would get it again. $23 each (with 20% tip, $17 menu price) They also have a lot of drinks but are one of those pub-like bars that are trying on the food. (thumbs up to that). There was also throw-up right at the front door…

Friendly service. Food is standard bar food with some Asian options. I think the fry on the food was good. The rooms are clean. The beer and house sake is reasonably priced. They have a sake menu of bottles with their notes which is helpful. Good selection of karaoke songs. Had some friends hoping for E40 and Mac Dre.

Happy hour dishes were an absolute steal! I don’t typically like asian fusion or Hawaiian style food, but every single dish I got was really good!

We came in during April and had an early dinner, but the service was still quick and the staff was very nice and welcoming. We got the chicken karage and chicken katsu curry and enjoyed both a lot. Our server (Makaio? sorry I’ve since forgotten!) was also super great and even gave us some complimentary dole whip. Would definitely recommend!

Daughter wanted karaoke and Katsu curry for her birthday. There was no hesitation on where we were going to go.
Before going check the menu, know that this is not a regular/typical Japanese restaurant where you get the usual tempura, sushi, teriyaki, sukiyaki, etc that you can get at any number of average neighborhood places anywhere around CA. This is well prepared and presented Japanese/Hawaiian comfort food, the kind you might eat in Hawai’i. No Hawaiian food yet like lau lau, stew, braised short rib etc but one can hope.
‘Local boy’ owner serves the type of Japanese based local style food you’d expect to find in HI. Also unlike typical Japanese restaurants, TaishoSF has a great selection of Sake, from the affordable house sake, to more high end stuff that anyone will know from the first sip how much better it is than the run of the mill stuff, my personal favorite so far is “the one with 72 clocks”.
They also have other tropical style drinks and even Dole whip which you don’t get at a standard Japanese restaurant. The food is also very reasonably priced which was a mandate by the owner in keeping with the ‘local’ style. Another unwavering standard is the focus on food quality. Whether a place sells expensive food or modest homey food, making sure the diner receives a well prepared meal should be EVERY restaurant’s prime directive, and TaishoSF delivered that on every dish we ordered. We ordered 15 dinners, many appetizers, and Dole whip. Every dish was consistent and delicious.
Had at least 5 orders of Gyoza but couldn’t get a photo, they swarmed them as soon as they arrived! The wings were very good and the sauces were good. The Kalua pork quesadilla is excellent, they have a secret sauce that adds a different flavor, been eating Mexican food for many years, even worked at a taqueria, this has a good twist. Katsu curry and curry Loco Moco are hearty meals but if you don’t like curry (like my other daughter) you can just get chicken Katsu plain.
The karaoke system has so many choices and genres, you’ll likely find your favorite song. Didn’t find any Samoan songs while casually perusing (one of our party is Samoan) but maybe they have something, can’t say for sure .
You can get use of a Karaoke room with a minimum purchase, check the website for details.
We had a great time and will be back for more!

Big portions and the food was really good and comforting! Chicken katsu was fried perfectly and not oily. And the owner is so nice

Wow, TaishoSF is an absolute gem for hosting events in San Francisco! The spacious private banquet rooms are perfect for groups of any size, and the karaoke setup adds an extra layer of fun to any gathering.
The food is simply outstanding! Their menu offers a delightful fusion of Hawaiian and Japanese cuisine that’s sure to please everyone. The chicken wings are a must-try – they’re rumored to have won an award for the best in the city, and I can see why. The kalua pork super burrito is another standout, with tender, succulent meat and a light, creamy edamame sauce that elevates it to new heights.
What really sets TaishoSF apart is their incredible staff. They go above and beyond to ensure your event runs smoothly. From helping with reservations to accommodating special requests, their service is top-notch. They’re even willing to go the extra mile in unexpected situations – a friend lost their phone during our visit, and the staff meticulously reviewed security footage to help locate it.
The atmosphere is vibrant and energetic, perfect for celebrations. With generous happy hour specials and reasonably priced drinks, including large bottles of house sake, it’s easy to keep the party going without breaking the bank.
TaishoSF truly offers the complete package for events: great food, fantastic service, fun entertainment, and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re planning a corporate gathering, birthday bash, or just a night out with friends, I can’t recommend TaishoSF enough. Makaio is the best! All the staff are amazing. It’s definitely become my go-to spot for memorable events in San Francisco!

I came to the restaurant hoping to grab a quick bite before a concert. Waited 20 mins, they didn’t seem to even have started preparing the food. I ended up going to the concert hungry. The restaurant is otherwise relatively empty. The waiters all seem nice though.
