After reading good reviews from website, me and my husband finally decided to try the food at Tatsunoko last Saturday. As much as we would like to enjoy our food, something just seems to be missing in the food they serve. We ordered :Tamagoyaki - rated this 5/5. My dad is 100% Japanese and the taste is very similar to what he cooks. I highly recommend this.Futomaki - the rice seems to be overcooked or 'lata'. There is not enough sushi vinegar in the rice thus missing the authentic flavor of a real futomaki.Gyoza - the flour covering is quite thick. The taste is close to the authentic one but the covering is just too thick.Yakisoba - according to our server this dish is one of their bestsellers however, there is a missing flavor again. I must say that again my father cooks better Yakisoba. I guess they do not use the specific thick sauce used in cooking yakisoba probably because they are cost cutting? due to the price range of their dishes. That is just my guess.I have lived in Japan for 7 years so I really know what authentic Japanese food tastes like. I guess their dishes are missing some flavor because of the price range of their dishes so I am guessing they are substituting some ingredients or seasonings in their food to compensate with the cheap prices of dishes they offer in their restaurant.I have to commend the restaurant though and the reason why I gave them 4 stars is because when my husband accidentally spilled his hot tea on him, the staff were fast in providing first aid remedy and he was also provided a burn ointment. Thank you Tatsunoko for taking care of my husband :)

If you are looking for an affordable authentic Japanese food then this is the right place for you. For me, the servings are also good for sharing.

The food was superb! It's price doesnt even do justice to the quality of taste. I'd like to commend the Ebi tempura for it's amazing crisp and light feel.
