TaishoSF

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...

Super fun place w karaoke 🎤 and amazing food!

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.

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 fi
