★★★★★ 5.0 Yolande Muus · Mar 2026

The food is pretty good. I got the kalbi. It wasn't great. But the price is better than anywhere else. We also got the miso butterfish. That was fantastic. Portion is huge for a butterfish plate. I think they're using the big black cod fillets. Loved it. The Tanaka saimin is also very good and enormous. The kids were happy with their pancakes. Good portions and fair price. Everyone who works there is amazing. Good people, so nice.

Stopped by the other evening to give Tanaka Saimin a try. I called in my order and it was packed up and ready when I arrived. The young lady that assisted me at the counter was super sweet. We got Tuna Cheese Melts with Miso Soup, a cup of Corn Chowder Soup and a scoop of their Macaroni Potato Salad. We thought the sandwiches were delicious but would've loved a more crisp exterior. It came with a choice of Miso Soup, Fries, Mac Salad or Toss Green Salad. The Miso Soup was full of tofu and had a good flavor. The Corn Chowder was full of Potatoes and Corn and was delicious as well. The Macaroni Potato Salad had a great flavor and paired well with the sandwiches. I'd recommend stopping by if you're in the area. If I get the opportunity to return I plan to try the Won Ton Min... that looks go

I had Tanaka Saimin for $16.95 and it was great. A good size saimin bowl with so many wonton dumplings and side dishes of teri beef slices, shrimp tempura, and mac-potato were enough to get me full and satisfied, so tasty. The servers were great also.

Second day in a row here! Had the butter milkfish with side salad, oriental dressing, comes with seaweed and miso soup. So yummy! My Auntie had the mix plate, 2 choice with the beef stew and shoyu chicken. My dad had saimin and cheeseburger 🍔. So so delish! MUST TRY!
