Clients Reviews

We love coming for their happy hour. They offer beer and wine/sake. My daughter likes the bento box, and we always get the volcano. Lots of parking. Can get busy, but I have never had to wait more than a few minutes for a table.

We decided to try a new spot and found this one on yelp. They don't have a current website up but they are open- I ordered while there for take out and the staff was very friendly. There were many people eating in which I took as a good sign... and it was. Everything we ordered on this Saturday tasted super fresh and high quality. I love when the niguri cuts actually do melt in your mouth! The special rolls were smaller than I was expecting (comparing to other sushi bars) yet we're very flavorful and just as fresh as the nigiri. The restaurant looked very clean and was easy to find, lots of parking. I plan on ordering from them again.

From the moment I walked in, I was impressed with the welcoming service. The staff was friendly and made us feel at home, offering great recommendations. The sushi was fresh and beautifully presented, with each bite bursting with flavor. I especially loved the signature rolls and sashimi. The ambiance was serene and cozy, with a minimalist design and soft lighting that created the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed meal. It’s the ideal spot for a special night out or a casual sushi craving. Will definitely return!

I'm home on winter break from school and needed some sushi! I chose Tachikawa because it's right down the street from where I was living. It was delicious. I had the 49er roll, the cherry blossom roll, and a few other happy hour rolls which we're all great. There wasn't a long wait for the food and the waitress was also very pleasant and attentive as well. I highly recommend!
