Rakuten was a pleasant surprise. The Chinese-Japanese-Creole fusion concept is unique, and both the…read morefood and service were solid. The atmosphere was inviting and made for a great dinner experience. The standout dishes were definitely the roast duck and the house special lo mein--both were excellent and worth ordering. The rest of the dishes we tried were decent but didn't leave the same impression. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the prices felt very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Overall, a good spot for dinner, especially if you're curious about the fusion menu. Just make sure not to skip the duck and lo mein.

After having Puerto Rican food for days, I opted for a different type of cuisine and came here to…read morepick up an order of sushi. The menu had a mix of Americanized Chinese and Americanized Japanese items. I got a lobster tempura roll to-go. It was a basic roll with sushi rice, lobster tempura, avocado, soy paper, and a lot of sauce. The soy paper was difficult to chew (1 star off) and the sauce drenched the sushi (1 star off). The flavors were fine, but the sushi seemed to be missing authenticity. My expectations for authentic sushi should be lower in Puerto Rico though! That was on me. Back to Puerto Rican food I go, which I am completely content with.

We placed a large takeout order from Tayzan after seeing the long line outside and all the great…read morereviews. Since it was just a short walk from our hotel, we decided to give it a try. My parents had eaten here before and said it was really good, so we were excited to see if it lived up to the hype. The restaurant had a lively, bustling atmosphere, with a steady stream of customers dining in and picking up takeout orders. Even though it was busy, the staff kept things moving efficiently. Even for a large order, the wait was only about 30 minutes. They have a separate pickup area for to-go orders, which made the process organized and easy despite how busy they were. We ordered the beef fried rice, house fried rice, churrasco steak, house lo mein, sesame beef, jumbo shrimp, chicken wings, fried pork, pork ramen, and three sushi rolls. The kids in our family chose the Philly Roll, Salmon Avocado Roll, and Red Dragon Roll, and they really enjoyed them. I had originally planned to order a different sushi roll from the menu, but it wasn't available that day. It wasn't a big deal, though, because the rolls we did get were fresh and delicious. Everything was flavorful and well prepared. The churrasco steak was my personal favorite--the meat was incredibly tender and already well seasoned on its own. My husband wasn't a fan of the accompanying sauce, but he agreed the steak itself was excellent. We also really enjoyed the fried rice, and the portions were generous. They were also generous with the condiments and included a variety of sauces with our order, which we appreciated. The only thing we missed was chili oil, since it's a condiment we usually expect to have available at Chinese restaurants. If you're staying nearby or looking for a restaurant that offers both Chinese and Japanese cuisine, Tayzan is definitely worth checking out. Just be prepared for a crowd--it seems to be popular for a reason!

Tayzan had fantastic ratings, and we love Asian food, so we had to try it. Overall disappointing on…read moreall fronts. Food: Very good vegetable soup and decent vegetable egg rolls. But the Singapore noodles were pathetic. The recipe was anything but traditional for Singapore noodles. The meats were very low quality and the flavors were all off. Also, all of our dishes were served simultaneously- no spacing of the appetizer and main dish. The temperature of everything had cooled somewhat. All dishes were warm and not hot. Service: Too many customers, too few servers. Poor service. Overall cleanliness: Below average Value: Given to poor quality and service, poor overall value

So she seated us there and asked if we wanted drinks, so we ordered drinks. A kind lady came up to us to warm us they have been waiting forever to get food and drinks then she walked up to the bar to get her own drinks. After waiting for a while, we didn't want to go through the kind woman's experience so we picked up and left Across the street for some great Puerto Rican food. I kept and eye on the seating we left and after about 10 more minutes she saw we were gone. The restaurant was empty except for the 3 couple on the patio with us. She seemed like we were bothering her for ordering. WTH!
