Contemporary Japanese dining ventures down a refreshingly new path here at TAISHO. 

Tucked into Ventura Boulevard’s Restaurant Row, our Sherman Oaks restaurant and bar serves up crave-worthy Japanese food and drinks rooted in tradition — but with our own modern twist. 

 Local ingredients, fresh seafood, premium meats, Californian wines, and craft sake combine to make a distinctively Taisho dining experience.  

At TAISHO, choose from four gorgeous dining areas: the front outdoor patio overlooking Ventura, the sprawling bar and lounge, the stylish dining room and our back patio oasis. The entire setting exudes a Japanese-meets-California vibe that’s airy and cosmopolitan — and anchored in a natural beauty that marries the indoors and out.
