Taiko - 太閣

Located in one of the busiest plaza in Irvine,

Especially during lunch and dinner hours,

It's a pain trying to find a parking,

Or I should say, fight for a parking.

And then another 30 or so minutes waiting time just to fulfill the need of hunger.

Taiko-

One of the better places to eat Japanese food in Irvine,

However,

I personally think that this place is more like an American-Japanese restaurant.

Even though they have Japanese sushi chefs behind the bar,

The dishes they served tell it all.

Besides sushi selections,

Taiko also has many American-Japanese dishes like:

Teriyaki chicken,

Sesame chicken,

Tuna steak,

Baked clams, etc.

So why I go there for lunch time after time?

I like their sesame chicken.

Mmm..

I'm craving for American-Japanese food sometimes.
