So strange to read all the awful reviews here! Are we talking about the same place? I love Typhoon! My fiance and I have been going here for the last five years. We're regulars and although they've changed the manager once and have had several different waitresses/barstaff, the place remains one of our favorite, dependable eatery. The ambiance is great! The sushi chef, Hide, is knowledgeable and friendly, all the waitstaff knows us and remembers our names. The current bartender/hostess has improved a great deal from when she first started. You will definitely get good food for a great deal. It's a find in this overly priced, ostentatious city full of bad restaurants. more

My friends and I love this place, so it makes me sad that some of the servers have ruined meals. Yea, a few of them CAN suck (one waitress comes to mind), but others (namely, Satoshi and Ken) are always cool. And no, the food isn't revelatory, but who wants it to be? It's good, authentic Japanese pub grub for cheap, and they serve it up to a laid-back crowd sweetly devoid of posers. Oh, and to the person who complained that her croquettes were fried: try looking up the definition for croquette. lol more

Ambience - very nice. Looks like I've stepped back into a hacienda. Shame about the food and service. Yes there was a party going on at the time but it was only around 10 people. So why did it take over an hour for me to get my sushi (and I'd only ordered a few rolls). And finally when it did arrive it was very vey average. In essence - there's better places than this! Pros: Good setting Cons: Poor service, Average food more

I can't believe that those reviews are actually about the same restaurant. My boyfriend and I went there a couple weeks ago, after reading the great reviews below, and were extremely disappointed. Not only was the food not a ten, it was horrible. The crab croquettes were fried and completely lacking in crabmeat, our meat appetizer was dripping with grease and mostly fatty, and our main course was mushy rice drowned in some sauce with the consistency of baby food. We took one bite of that, and left the rest uneaten. I never write reviews, but I'd like to save someone else the same mistake of going to this place. Pros: Nice Ambience, Inexpensive Cons: Terrible Food, Bad Service more

Stumbled onto this place with a friend and we loved it! The atmosphere itself is worth the trip, but the food is fantastic too. Great place for a first date or dinner with a picky group. Pros: Location, Menu Choices, Decor Cons: Slow service more

This is my favorite Japanese restaurant in the city. I probably go about once a week for the amazing Japas (tapas sized innovative Japanese dishes) and everyone I take gets totally hooked. Even my friends visiting from Japan love this place! Try their taka rice, saikoro beef cube steak, crab croquettes, avocado salad with alaskan king crab, karei kara (whole fried flounder with ponzu sauce), mentai spaghetti, udon, super dynamite, nasu hamburg (japanese eggplant parm), el roll (shrimp and chicken wrapped in shiso leaf and spring roll wrap), sesame sauce soba, the list is endless. Finish the meal with the tempura ice cream with rum sauce. Not to mention, your wallet will be pleasantly surprised. Pros: Inexpensive, Smoking section, INCREDIBLE FOOD! more
