Taru Sushi & Roll

Small restaurant, at a shopping center in Gardena. The place is small and it looked clean. The menu had many choices, and the portions matched the prices. I tried the baked mussels and I’d say they were 3.5÷5 then I got a sushi combo with 5 Pc spicy tuna rolls, 5 pc crunch rolls and 10pc sushi. The crunch rolls were by far the best. I’d recommend checking this place place out, Tuesday’s and Wednesdays they have a special, buy one special roll get one 50% off.

Good food! The chef came out and personally asked my bf and I if we liked the food and he gave us a complimentary jalapeño popper dish, the restaurant is in the middle of changing their menu and we were the lucky couple who got to review one of the new dishes :)

My go-​to sushi place.
I order from this place at least once a week and have never had a bad meal. The sushi is fresh, tasty and priced right. Even the sashimi is good, which is rare to find. I have done both pick-​up and delivery. I am greeted with a smile every time no matter who is behind the counter or delivering my food.
I would recommend this place to anyone.

I have order food form them one time I ordered $ 60 worth of food the other time I ordered over a hundred and $ 50 worth of food and they did not have a problem delivering now all of a sudden there’s an issue with them delivering to my area there now tell me it’s too far that was never depicted on any of the other orders that I ordered from them that I ordered from them that is a major issue when you’ve been here before and I’ve ordered with you and I’ve done a great business with you and now you refuse my business Loki discrimination is because I am black I feeling so kind off I know racism is real I don’t see the issue of you delivering to me again especially when my order was going to be over $ 100 I’m not understanding it the only thing that shows up is the fact that I’m black is why you will not deliver

By far the best sushi I ever tried!!! Good prices. I’m willing to travel over 10 miles to get the sushi from here. Alaska roll, California rolls and Dragon rolls

Never again! First time really disappointed. The flavor to my volcano sushi was horrible as if it was old fish I really don’t recommend it.

My new favorite place for delivery! This place has pretty descent sushi and they deliver which is awesome when you’re a new mom with a baby and unable to go out sometimes. I’ve ordered a variety of their items and have been very satisfied.

This restaurant has many kind of sushi roll!
I ate monkey blain, Dynamite roll, and popcorn crawfish roll. These are so good! And good customer service.

These reviews have to be friends and family. Garlic roll looked nothing like the picture. Low quality ingredients and three tons of garlic. There was an asterisk at the bottom of the menu that the crab was imitation but no asterisk next to the actual word crabmeat on the items. If I had noticed it at first I would not have ordered any item with crab. Rolls cut uneven, one piece would be too fat to fit in your mouth and the next tiny. Very disappointing. Very telling when it’s empty on a Friday night. I complained about the food but nothing was comped either.

Awesome food. Buy a large beer and get the next one for one dollar. Incredible service as well

I was on my way to work and decided to stop by this place to buy boba. I’ve visited various other great locations in the area but this small sushi place was in the direction I was heading towards and detouring was not an option.
It was 5:30 pm on a Sunday when I entered and it was ghost town central. I walked up to the front counter and asked if they had boba available because a couple of months ago while visiting the grocery store located in the same plaza I decided to come in to buy boba and I was told there was none available. This time the friendly guy at the counter handed me a menu with a limited selection of milk tea and slush flavors.
This was a bit of a bummer but it was the only opportunity I had to get my boba fix so I went with the milk tea. The drink was okay. Not the best I’ve had but not the worst either.
I probably won’t be returning here for any of my boba fixes. The menu items, however, looked delicious. If I had a bit more time on my hands I would have ordered something off of their menu to try it. Next time I visit it’ll be to try their food.

OMG this place was amazing. The service was fabulous ! The food was fresh and amazingly delish. Simon (the owner) and crew were on top of everything. Hospitality was off the chart! We have found our sushi place. Highly recommended!

Their rolls aren’t amazing, but they are good for when you are looking for a quick delivery option without wanting to leave the house. Their rolls are amplified grocery store sushi at best. The monkey brain roll, shrimp tempura and rainbow are good options.

AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE. I ordered from them last week and they messed up my grub hub order really bad, I MEAN BAD. They came back out to my house 3 times to fix the order and additionally refunded me for the order and apologized profusely plus gave me a free meal which I had tonight! I have had sushi all over the world, literally!!!
My father was in the military and we ate sushi all the time in Japan and other places! The tempura fried California sushi roll was amazing and I am so grateful for amazing customer service. The owner came out tonight to apologize for the mistake they made the first time I ordered a week ago. In LA that type of customer service is unknown and sadly foreign. May God Bless this business and it be profitable and always busy! Amazing food. Amazing customer service A++++
Things I ordered:
— Beef Udon: So Good!
— BBQ Galbi Plate: needed a bit of seasoning for my personal taste but meat was still good and I will order again. Little skimpy on the meat for the price though.
— 2 Box Bento Combination, egg rolls and tempura mix: very good tempura! egg rolls not bad.
— #6 Super Crunch Roll: I didn’t eat this but the guy who did said it was very good. He doesn’t like sushi and he has ordered it twice now. He never eats seafood and the few times I have gotten him to eat sushi he has gotten sick, but not this time! Now I can order sushi whenever i want and don’t have to order him a pizza on nights I don’t want to cook.
— #19 Tempura California Roll: I think this was the best sushi I have had. Only thing I would change is Taru Sushi should inform people that sauce is drizzled all over this amazing deep fried California roll. I am not a fan of sauces and I don’t like the smelt egg. Please list all toppings on your products as well as in your products. Sauces and extras on top of sushi should always be listed so people with allergies who order online don’t get sick. Next time I order I will remember to order the #19 with no Smelt egg and no sauce drizzled on top and it will be 10x better for me!
#18 Beef teriyaki Roll: Very good. they should inform you that they drizzle teriyaki sauce on it. I should have assumed this cause of the title but the picture on their website for this item does not show it drizzled with Teriyaki sauce. AGAIN I SAY: If your food item has an ingredient in it, even a topping, you should list it due to people with allergies. PLEASE UPDATE YOUR GRUB HUB SITE, AND YOUR ONLINE WEBSITE MENU TO REFELCT ACURATE INGREDIENTS IN AND ON YOUR SUSHI ROLLS.
AGAIN I MUST SAY AMAZING FOOD. AMAZING A++ CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
THANKS! I WILL BE A REGULAR!

I don’t exactly know how this place got such good ratings. Either their chef is different than the chef other people got, or other reviews’ standards are really low… Let’s hope it’s the first one.
The service is decent and the atmosphere is friendly enough. Overall it seems like a nice place to hang out with friends and enjoy a couple of beers. But if you came here craving for sushi, you probably will be disappointed.
First of all, the ingredient is just terrible. We ordered couple of rolls with avocado in it, the avocado was cold, hard and bitter. Edible avocado is supposed to be soft, rich and creamy, most importantly, decently warm! The rolls came out very dry, and the chef seemed to be very high on his sauce, to the point he barely put any on our rolls. Toppings on rolls aren’t much better, leave an oily taste in your mouth and can hardly be called quality materials.
Anyway, I don’t usually eat sushi around this neighborhood but if the standard around here hovers around this level, I would rather drive to little Tokyo.

Ordered two items: Monkey Brains and the 3 Item Bento for dinner for the family. I ordered it at 6:16 pm. I was informed it would take about 45 minutes for the delivery, that’s fine. I’ve ordered from the multiple times already, and figured it wouldn’t be a problem.
at 8:00 pm, my food has yet to arrived. I called them and they stated that they could not get into my apartment complex. I don’t live in an apartment complex for one, I live in a house. 2 if they couldn’t get in, why didn’t they call me to let me know what was going on so that I could redirect them?
I use to order them quite a bit, however, this has turned me off completely. I will not be eating here or ordering from them again.

Would not recommend.
Fish was dry and just tasted old.
Ordered the bento combo with salmon and spicy tuna roll. Serving size for the salmon was tiny and dry also. I’m not the biggest fan of sushi in the first place so I’m pretty neutral when it comes to the quality of fish, but this place was just a disappointment.
We came in on a Wednesday around 3pm and it was nearly empty. Even so, the waitress didn’t really come by to refill water or check up on us at all. Ended up leaving the place with more than half our dishes untouched.

Quick delivery. Delicious monkey brain
So little ginger given, I wish they give more without me asking so Step up ur games

It was one of those «what do you want for dinner?» «I don’t know, what do you want for dinner?» nights. After Greg R. started Unilocaling and recommending places, I was able to narrow our choices down to not Mexican, sushi and not hamburgers, so sushi it was!
We ordered Taru online, which I dug. At the end of the order it was a dynamite roll, spicy rainbow roll, Philadelphia roll, an aloha roll and seaweed salad. A little more than $ 50, which for the size was reasonable, but taste fell short. The fish was fresh, and nothing tasted bad, but nothing tasted delicious either.
My husband, who is a sushi fiend, finished 1.5 rolls, but not because he was full. He just didn’t want to keep stuffing his mouth full of blandish sushi. I wasn’t impressed, but not horribly disappointed. Had we dined in and taken advantage of the beer special I keep seeing everywhere, I would still rate it a 3-​star, just okay, but might have been a little more upbeat.
Overall, if you have to go here, you’ll be fine, but if you’re looking for some good tasting sushi, I would check out the next place.

Yes, yes, and yes! Okay fareal… This is by far is one sushi spot I will say is on point! FRESH FOOD cooked to order. So be patient because the greatness is coming! I get excited about good food and this place has what you need to get excited. Flavor, style, and… Mmmm
Welp I gotta go… Can’t text and pick up my sushi with my chopsticks … Cheers to good eats!
