Tappi Sushi Grill - La Mesa

Not a good experience. The server was okay, but the table was dirty. The teriyaki chicken had no flavor, and the other dishes didn’t seem fresh. The California Roll was poorly assembled and fell apart. Unfortunately, I brought a guest from the city, and they remarked on how disappointing it was. It felt overpriced for the quality provided. I won't be returning.

We also ordered Ikura (salmon roe), which I was particularly excited about since it has been scarce lately. You definitely need to try the chili green beans; they're a fantastic way to kick off the meal. For just $10 on the Happy Hour menu, we got the bomb, which included a charming mini-sake and a 4.3 fl oz Sapporo beer. Daniella was our server, and she was wonderful throughout our visit. Be sure to try the Helix Roll too!

Great service, and a long happy hour menu with one dollar or two off many popular items. Overall good, but the prices are very high. You have some roles that are $30 each or more when you add taxes and tips. For this price it should be an amazing role, but they are not so impressive. I have one that should be in a cucumber pack. It was a quarter inches thick! A cucumber pack should be thin as paper. Also, just about everything has shrimps, so if you don't like shrimps or you don't eat shellfish, you really need to study the menu to find something that works, or you need to know how to customize your order. That's a pain. Most sushi restaurants have more fishing opportunities. There are also kitchen options, of course, but I didn't try them.

Tappi has a great choice. Many roles to choose and all very tasty what I tried. You also have a full bar. I enjoyed the insane role and the shrimp poppers. They have plum wine taste mochi, which was excellent.

We were searching for a new sushi spot, and this restaurant was conveniently located near us. The fish they served was outstanding. Additionally, the waitress was professional and efficient. My wife and I were extremely pleased and have officially found our new favorite sushi place.
