Tanto Japanese Restaurant - Sunnyvale

Dishes were all good or very good.The menu is ridiculously extensive (over 30 items per page of a 2 page menu). So I have not tried a lot of them, for now 3.25 seems fair. Service was slow, ambiance was great with lots of noise, drinking, laughing and foo

The oniguri was big and crispy (surprised at the crispy) and delicious! Would get this again We order the omelet dish thinking it would be kid friendly… nope, watery egg in some salty sauce. Nope The other dishes were delicious though!

My neighbor recommended this place so we gave it a try today. I was told that you have to wait for getting the table so I made a call to make reservation at 6 pm. Their menu contains lots of options and their service is super. They have private rooms. The one we used can hold 7-8 people. We like such quiet dining environment. The house sake is so good. It was warm sake that was really good in the winter. The Gindara (black cod) is 10/10. Tender and tasted. Hamachi kama is 8/10. It was kind of salty. Kamo tataki (rare duck) is also 10/10. Very tender. Kaki fry (oyster) is 10/10. Tako wasabi (octopus) is 9/10. It was my first time eating raw octopus so my rating might not reflect its real quality. The two desserts we had are both excellent. I specifically like the green tea Mont Blanc cake. Definitely 10/10 for both.

A little gem restaurant to enjoy Japanese tapas. My always order tapas are grilled beef tongue, uni meshi, salmon rice ball. Their food was fantastic before the pandemic, but it was not so good now. Or maybe it’s me having a high expectation.

Delicious. Well presented. Reasonable priced. Good service. Most importantly, a rare Japan-western cuisine intrigues you to wonder how the next plate is going to taste.
