🎉 Birthday Lunch Celebration at Taisho Bistro Japanese Izakaya – Rochester, NY 🇯🇵🍱 We came to Taisho Bistro for a late lunch to celebrate my daughter’s birthday, and it turned out to be such a satisfying experience! ✨ What we ordered: • Ika Maruyaki (Grilled Squid): Beautifully presented, perfectly grilled, and tender with a nice smoky aroma. The glaze adds just the right touch of sweetness and umami. • Omurice: While it looked gorgeous and colorful, it was more like a regular fried rice wrapped in an egg blanket rather than the traditional creamy omurice. Still flavorful, just not what I expected. • Katsu Don: Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside — the pork cutlet over rice was comforting and delicious.

Not only that it was litterly just broth not even worth drinking niether me nor my par

So delicious! The staff are all so nice~ It's really authentic Japanese food! The udon noodles are amazing, and the chicken rice is fantastic too—especially the sauce! The shrimp sushi is incredible too, with fried shrimp and sauce on top, it's so good. Will definitely come back!

This is my favorite place to go locally for a meal, the Katsu Curry is my ultimate comfort dish. Staff are always super friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed, and everything I eat is always delicious! I come back all the time. :)
