Taisho Japanese Grill

Overall, the experience was okay, but I was disappointed with the service near the end. We were seated at around 8:00 PM, and last call was around 9:20 PM while we still hadn’t finished our first round. At 9:20 PM, I ordered ice cream and clearly asked the staff to serve it at the very end so it wouldn’t melt. However, it was brought out around 9:40 PM - 9:45 PM while we were still eating BBQ. I was told it was due to the sitting time limit and an automatic process. I completely understand there is a time limit, but the communication could have been handled much better, at least checking with us first since I have the request of getting ice cream later😐We didn’t finish the ice cream as it was melting.

I’ve been to Taisho around 5–6 times now, and it’s the one place I proudly recommend to all my friends! The quality is insanely consistent every single visit. The miso-marinated beef is unmatched, and the ikura don is literally my favourite in the city! 👍🏻 ☹️ The only drawback is the limitation on call of desserts. The crème brûlée is super amazing, but I wish they didn’t limit the order (1 person can only order once). Places like KAKA sushi AYCE or Gyubee let you call creme brulee unlimited (and even offer flavours like matcha or earl grey). If a manager ever sees this: please consider being more flexible with dessert orders! Cut costs somewhere else, not the desserts, because they truly complete the whole experience for most customers. Still, Taisho remains one of the best Japanese grills in the city, and I’ll keep coming back on special occasions 🍣✨

We came here as a big group and we choose AYCE option. The price for one adult is $42.99 from Monday-Thursday and $45.99 for weekends and holiday. The place is so crowded, if you want to go with a big group or do not want to wait, you should book the place ahead of time, especially during dinners or weekends, the waiting time could be longer. The atmosphere here is very cozy and warm, making us really hungry and wanted to dive into the food right away. The food quality is 1000/10. They have one of the best beef ever. The volcano roll is a must-try here! I really liked the beef and salmon handroll as well. It's so good when you eat the whole thing at once, the taste is fantastic. Their dessert cream brulee is so good, out group really likes it. The staffs are really nice. They always stand around and we can easily asked for help when we needed it. They also change the grill frequently. The seating limit is 2 hours, and they kindly remind us when we almost reach that limit. Such a great place to have some AYCE in downtown Toronto!

We had an awesome time at Taisho Grill! The food was super fresh and tasty, loved the miso/pork beef as well as the poke bowls, ramen and sushi which included torched salmon. Everything came out quick and hot, and the grill experience was really fun. Big shoutout to our server Haru, he was amazing and friendly, he checked in often without being pushy, and made sure we had everything we needed. Honestly made the experience 10x better. Definitely recommend this spot if you’re craving Japanese grill — and if you get Haru as your server, you’re in for a great experience!

Went to Taisho Japanese Grill for Saturday dinner (all you can eat $45.99) and it was excellent. The menu has a huge variety and the quality was surprisingly good for AYCE. My favorites were the prime kalbi, garlic shrimp in foil, and the beef tataki—all really well done. Also enjoyed the black pepper kalbi strips, sliced beef brisket, marinated lamb, jumbo shrimp, cheese corn, and the beef udon soup. For dessert, both the crème brûlée and gelato were great finishes. Service was very attentive—our waitress Minami was super friendly and kept everything moving smoothly. Overall: 5/5. Great food, great service, and definitely a spot I’d come back to.
