Taiko Sushi - Rancho Cordova

It's a pretty large restaurant, we came by for dinner right after work so it was super quiet. Pros: The rolls were decent, they were well made and tasted fresh. Prices were decent, ranging from $5 for simple rolls to about $16 for a few complex rolls but many priced at $9. Cons: Our server seemed distracted and either unhappy or unfriendly, despite only having maybe 3 tables total in the entire restaurant. They may have been under staffed so I dont want to hold that against them since the food wasn't terrible. One of my rolls, the Futomaki is made a little different than what I've had in the past, but it was alright. The thicker crunchy carrot threw me off. Overall it's not a bad deal and maybe we went during a bad time. Give them a shot, and hopefully you'll have good results, they seem to have good lunch deals too.

This place has an older more traditional Asian restaurant setup but the food here is great! I loved the Sashimi, it 's very fresh. The Salmon Sashimi was amazing, you can taste all the oils of the fish so well, I loved it! The Kings Roll has a lot in it, I enjoyed it, it is very good, but there isn 't anything in particular that stood out or a 'kick ' in this roll as I 'm used to with loaded rolls like this one.

Taiko Sushi, Rancho’s secret! Their Miso soup was delicious! I also tried the Crystal Shrimp roll; crunchy shrimp, cream cheese, spicy crab salad and topped with avocado, sweet sauce, spicy mayo I can’t wait to go back!

Delicious. I would leave it at that but I guess I will add more. First, I like that there is no break in service (some close for a couple/few hours in between lunch and dinner). I arrived before the dinner rush and there were only a handful of diners. I decided to sit at the sushi bar and was quite prepared to eat since I only had vegetable soup at lunch. Their happy hour is $2 off their rolls from the 'Chef 's Special Rolls ' and 'Specialty Rolls ' on their menu. I generally eat two rolls since often they are not large. I ordered a beer and waited excitedly for the rolls I ordered Rakuso (spicy tuna, cucumber topped with unagi and masago) and Samurai (spicy salmon, spicy tuny, avocado topped with fresh salmon masago). The sushi chef asked if I wanted one at a time and I said whatever is easiest for him. Since there were not many patrons, the rolls appeared quickly. Holy hannah. There was a lot. He later explained that he had asked if I wanted one at a time in the event I got full after one. Good to know for next time. I was not going to let these delicious looking rolls go to waste. I had a take a short pause during my consumption, but I made them all fit in my belly. They were wonderful I was quite satisfied and so happy I tried this sushi spot. The chef was nice and I chatted with him for a bit. Next time one glass of beer and one roll. If in the area (or even if not), try them you will not be disappointed.

Came here for the first time, place is huge... husband and I were immediately seated (came in before dinner time)... server was polite, nice and attentive... husband ordered the 13 pcs super deluxe sashimi combo and Zenbu Roll... I ordered seaweed salad and the King's Roll... husband enjoyed his fresh squeezed IPA... all were great, just a little bit disappointed with my seaweed salad because there was only about 25% of the seaweed on my bowl and the rest is the shredded white radish (which was refreshing)... I appreciate the complimentary miso soup though... would be coming back next time... I recommend this place.
