There are many good Sushi restaurants in the east Valley; however, what sets Taiko apart from the others is their noodles. Interestingly, you have to ask for the noodle menu. It isn't mentioned on their web-site nor did the waitress give us any indication that they had noodles until we asked. But once they realized we were there for real Japanese food; everything changed. Both the Ramen and Soba noodle dishes we tried were excellent. Once you try their noodles, you may say saronara to sushi rolls.
