Our New Favorite

by arnelgilbert at Citysearch

We tried every appetizer on the menu and we'd order every one again. The sushi was super fresh, the vegetables in the rolls were flavorful enough to make even those rolls disappear immediately, and the dragon roll had a dragon head made out of wasabi that was worth ordering just for the sight of it (it tasted wonderful, too). We have no idea why the place is so empty - it's a great date spot. We'll go again and again.

Fast and Tasty!

by pjs2780 at Citysearch

I ordered dinner from Tatsu recently and was pleased with my meal. Delivery took about 20 minutes to South Damen. The spring rolls were just okay -- they could have used some protein though, and for $3, the portion was very small. I also had the Rama (steamed broccoli with peanut sauce) with tofu; it was delicious but there was not enough rice for the entire dish; the sauce is really thick and it really needs the rice to balance it out. Overall, a good experience, and I would definitely consider ordering from here again and trying some of the other dishes.

BEST SUSHI IN LITTLE ITALY

by dj2fives at Citysearch

I don't know how come this place is not busy as it should be.I've been eating at Tatsu for a while love their Special Sushi roll especially my favorite "Giant Maki" and a huge,thick&juicy fresh Sashimi.Also the best fried rice I ever had in my life "TATSU fried rice" I'd love to explain how great it is but I have no idea how they make it.I cann't even explain about the price you can get the same quality with other high end sushi bar but pay less. The atmosphere is really cool you can go there with your date,a group of friend or with a family. The service is really friendly. If you're sick of waiting for an hour to get a table or looking for someting new,definitely recommend Tatsu........give it a shot and you'll love it.
