Taiko has the best authentic Japanese food around! Maggie and Toshi are super nice and their staff is amazing. Then there's the food...Toshi is a master, making all of his own sauces and creating many of the sushi choices himself. Being Japanese, my first measure of the quality of sushi is to try miguro and himachi and Taiko always exceeds my expectations. I also recommend the baked scallops, catepillar roll and if you like a little spice, try the candy cane sushi, my personal favorite. The quality of food they use is impressive here in the desert. My family and I go there every chance we get...every birthday, every holiday, every chance. I highly recommend this restaurant!!!
