This place is just amazing! The staff are always polite and attentive. The vibe is just amazing. It’s great when you can sit at the bar and have a few rolls and before you’re done everyone (all of us strangers) are having a good conversation. Never change Tabu .

What a great experience here. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was an easy vibe. The ladies there were a young group with plenty of energy and great service. We would come back again for their sashimi that was so good i drank the juice... true story!!

Love the fact that one of the best sushi places I’ve been to is a mile from the house. This place never disappoints. The sushi is always fresh.

First off, anything with the name "Tabu" in it, I'm checking out! Decent overall with some good specials, reasonable pricing and a good menu selection. Sat at the bar, it has almost a sport bar vibe which is unexpected at a Japanese place but it was cool. Worth giving it a shot.

It was my first time eating here. I am not a fan of sushi, so I tried their cooked meals. They have a good variety of cooked meals as well as sushi and appetizers. I ordered gyozas and a bento meal. The order of gyozas didn't take long to arrive and was very warm and crunchy. They tasted amazing, and their dipping sauce was good, but it is a bit spicy. The bento comes with soup and salad. Everything was brought pretty quickly, but it was well prepared. The whole meal was delicious, the portion size was good, and the price was great. The staff was very friendly and very attentive. Will definitely eat here again.

This is by far my favorite sushi place! My favorite thing on the menu is the crispy rice topped with tuna. Makayla made my experience AMAZING! This is the second time we had the pleasure of dining in her section. Will definitely be back soon.

The sushi is not only beautifully presented but its sophisticated and delicious. They don't focus on big rolls with cheap ingredients and a ton of spicy mayo or a thick layer of rice. Take a look at my pictures, the roll fits perfectly in your mouth. Go during happy hour if you want to add some drinks or sake to your order. Happy hour is until 6pm! The only caveat is that depending on the roll you order, it's not budget friendly but the prices are not outrageously high either.

Garlic Edamame, Seafood salad, side of sautéed veggies and 2 ice teas. Really good. I'm happy, will go again. Update: Ordered the same thing 11/09/24 everything was good except the sautéed veggies were bland and raw. Must of been a different cook because the 1st time they were amazing and popping with flavor.
