About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Vegetarian-friendly

Est. 2014 - family owned & operated

Restaurant Week Menu available all of February!

Try our unique omakase where our chefs will work around your restrictions to course out a mix of traditional, and non-traditional, fare. With signature dishes like our fish & chips and bluefin truffle sashimi, dressed nigiri pieces, and our off menu "special rolls" (including vegetarian options). Otherwise, order from the menu with many small-bite options, nigiri/sashimi, maki, entrees, or order the special rolls à la carte. We pride ourselves on our fish quality.

We have a full bar, which features a full selection of Japanese whisky, sake, cocktails, and more.

Another delightful Omakase experience at Tanoshii made even more special by the awesome Michelle and David. We got to try a couple of delicious new (to us) creations by the chefs in addition to our favorite escolar with the shitake and truffle oil. Oh, the scallops were especially fresh and perfectly cooked with the crisp coating --- we joked that we could have ended with just more of that! Looking forward to our next dinner here - the chefs were actually recommending another Omakase menu but we went with our usual selection, so maybe next time we will try the nigiri Omakase. Dining early is key to a quiet and more relaxed atmosphere.

Always love it there. The chef specials (mushroom in particular) and the fish and chips are the best. It's a pretty space and relatively quiet. The service is great.

What an amazing discovery! I'm town for the restaurant show and all the "high end"' sushi places were sold out. My daughter suggested Tanoshii and I'm so glad she did. The "chefs roll" which changes day to day was so good I wanted another. Uni sushi was so fresh and it was topped with a little truffle oil. Damn! It's a casual sushi place with exceptional service and very very good food!!

Special roll was amazing, but everything else we ordered were very average quality, nothing to write home about. It felt a bit overpriced since I could certainly find similar quality Japanese food down the street for much less. Service was okay. Not a lot of people on a weekend evening, so it was quiet and nice in that sense.
