Wow what a find in Englewood. We are fairly new to the area and were thrilled to find such an excellent sushi place close to home. We selected this place based on the yelp reviews, and I would concur with such a high rating.
The place is fair small and so would be good for smaller groups. The place probably seats at most 20-25 comfortably.
Service was excellent. We ordered the sushi and sashimi combo for two. The quality and quantity was perfect. We also ordered a spider maki, which was probably more than what we could eat given the size of the combo. But I always order a spider maki at any Japanese place to serve as a common benchmark. Tatsu's was one of the best. It is as good as my favorite place back in Chicago!
We will definitely be back. There are a number of other rolls I would like to try (there were three pages of rolls to order from).
Great lunch prices. Go a bento box with tempura, california rolls, dumplings, sashimi and salad for under $12. Food is on par with what you would typically expect at an above average Japanese restaurant, but the tempura deserves a special A for effort because they use panko to fry it, not like most lazy joints in the area that just fries in plain breading.
It was very quiet when we went so the service was good. Much better than Daruma where it took an eternity to order and eat.
Ventured here for lunch take out. A small little venue with maybe 7 to 10 tables. Seeing that the place was empty (only 2 occupants) I received my food pretty quickly. The pricing was normal $13 (for 2 rolls, soup and salad). It was okay, but probably won't make it my go to spot.
This place used to be called "California Sushi" and changed the name to Sushi Tatsu. It's a cute location near Palisades and Grand that is managed by Korean chefs.
I almost cracked up laughing when I walked in. There were no customers and the chef decided to blast some sappy Korean slow songs in full volume. I was like "wait, I know this song" and started to sing along. Fantastic!
I did the 3 roll special (Spicy Tuna, Spicy Salmon and Yellowtail) and they were excellent. I also did try their Wasabi Gyoza. Yes, I am a fan of it and ensures that all of my friends take a big bite. If you have not had it, then please do try. It will definitely clear your sinus.
I don't recommend anything fried at this place. Their fried calamari was nothing but fried dough and could not even taste any calamari in there. I told the server to take it off the menu or replace it with just fried squid legs which tastes better.
I like having choices in this neighborhood and there are other sushi options like Daruma, Akai Lounge, Tani Sushi (I have not tried this yet) and East West (not tried this one either). So I will be on the hunt for the next Sushi favorite here. Any recommendations?
Picked up an order from here. For the sashimi special which came with salmon, tuna, octopus, yellow tail, red snapper sashimi, and this odd Spanish mackerel that was less fish and more caviar, which they attached to it — it was my least favorite.
Overall the sashimi quality wasn't the best I've had. Yes the pieces were thick, but they lacked flavor and a general meatiness that more fresh sashimi has.
We also got the spicy tuna and salmon and avocado roll, which I enjoyed.
This place brought a new chef about 6 months ago, and the first time I tried it I was disappointed at the quality of food becoming more like an average sushi place around the block. That prevented me from trying this place for a while.
Then I decided to try a couple more times before deciding if I will not go to this place anymore. Actually, in my last 3-4 tries I found the quality being very similar to the former chef's and the ingredient being very fresh. Service really never changed either. So basically I am going back almost every week again. Still my go to place for sushi. Will still recommend this place to whoever asks me about it.
Not a bad sushi lunch option if you're in the area. Lunch specials are reasonably priced. My mom enjoyed her rolls and I enjoyed my chirashi bowl. Not the best I've had but in this area, it's decent.
I hail from Los Angeles, which has some amazing sushi. I am picky about my sushi. Period. That said, this restaurant has some of the best sushi I've had on the east coast (though I don't tend to run for sushi on this coast). The lunch prices are reasonable and they have a good selection. I am a bit shy about my raw fish, so I gravitate away from mixed sushi plates, and opted to order a couple of rolls as part of a combination. I was pleased with what I ordered and found the fish to be very fresh and the rolls to be well prepared. I would consider the menu to be relatively basic and didn't see rolls that I would consider to be very creative, but the fish is fresh and the preparation is good. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area and recommend it to those who are.
