User Rating: 5 out of 5 starsIn all honesty, I have been to a variety of Japanese restaurants. This is still yet my favorite restaurant to order sushi. It's equal counterpart would have to be Shintaro's in Las Vegas at the Bellagio. That restaurant is good too, but just a different experience.
In Response to Royal Garden's review, if you want to talk about misspelled words, you should really spell check your review before you critize someone else for spelling errors. Grammar check would also be recommended for you. Last time I checked, "sheff" was spelled chef, and "orderd" was ordered.
As for the greeting at Tachibana's, I've been a customer for a few years now, and I find it very hard to believe they gave anything less than a warm greeting. When I go there, I witness every customer being greeted with a big smile and wrapped up with a big smile when the customer leaves. The owner and his wife always come out to tell you thank you with such a friendly demeanor, it's hard not to smile back at them.
Their food is amazing, and so is there service. I recommend this restaurant to any sushi lover, and any Japanese cooked food lover.
User Rating: 2 out of 5 starsI visited this place during lunch time on April 1st, 2008.
I believe this restaurant name misspelled of "Tachibana". or, maybe new kind of joke.
Simply, this is not so good place.
1st impression was awful.
When I opened the door, they gave me cold eye contact in stead of Japanese style warm greeting.
They kept quiet, so I rechecked my watch at the door, and I was wondering maybe that was bad time to come.
A minute later, a depressed waitress brought me to a seat.
2nd,
The green tea was really bad.
I think I should be leaving at this time.
If you want to know a quality of foods at any Japanese restaurant, just try a green tea.
I could tell they were not very serious about the business.
3rd,
They forgot to add "Dashi" into Miso soup.
I was tracking my memory "when did I have such a bad one last time?"
4th,
I orderd Katsu Donburi (fried pork on rice bowl).
The overall taste was not so bad, but the Katsu was soaked with sauce, wet, and nasty.
I could tell the sheff was not trained professionally.
Altough a nationality does not matter to handle this kind of business, but I think they should learn more about Japanese culture.
I am not very happy that those people showing Japanese culture with wrong manner.-

Maybe you don't know what Katsu Don is about. When you talk about Katsu Don, Katsu is always soaked with sauce and wet. I have eaten Katsu Don a hundred of times in Japan. If you want to eat a dried Katsu, you should have ordered "Tonkatsu" instead. As far as I know, this restaurant serves "Shinshu" style "shiro" (white) miso for miso soup, in which the taste is light. Every time I drink miso soup at this restaurant, the taste is just fine for me. It is pretty much the same kind of miso soup I can get at a restaurant in Tokyo. If the taste of the green tea is bad, you can simply ask a waitress for a new one. If it is still not right for you, then you can ask another green tea with different leaves. I have seen a waitress carrying bottled green teas, so that is something you also should be thinking about. I tried every one of them. They were all good! If they are not serious about the business, they probably wouldn't have three different kinds of green tea.
