Taiko Noodles Sushi - Cookeville

We LOVE it ! The food rocks, the people are great and they bring you your food fast!

I love Taiko! The sushi is so tasty and they have a ton of different kinds to sample. I love to support our locally owned restaurants, and this is a great choice in Cookeville,TN.

Quality is amazing. No one puts more pride on their food both presentation and taste. A lot of change. Wonderful, friendly waiting staff. Great location and beautiful, vintage building.

This is my first bad review for a restaurant, but I left enraged!!! We travel often and LOVE trying new sushi restaurants. We decided to try Taiko for lunch, this was our first and last visit to this establishment. We were sampling different rolls as well as the sashimi. All were OK until we had a problem with one of the rolls. It was supposed to have cooked shrimp inside topped with spicy scallops. The scallops were tasty, however the shrimp was burnt. It took us about 15 minutes to get the servers attention (she was the only server working), she took it to the back. When she returned, she informed us that Sam (the owner) had personally made it and it wasn 't burned. That the shrimp were cooked with a thing called panko bread crumbs and that 's the way they look. Now, my problem is that I cook with panko and when it is cooked to the color of the seaweed and smells .... THERE IS A PROBLEM! We asked to speak to Sam, she told us that she would check to see if he was available. When she arrived without him, she said that he wouldn 't speak with us and that it wasn 't her problem that she just worked there. BEWARE... Our lunch for 2 was $55 dollars (we had no liquor), service ended up awful and the owner has the worst customer service we have ever experienced! Good luck to you in a poor economy....

I love everything about this place. The sushi is fantastic, but I really wish they would bring back the sky nigiri—it was the best sushi I've ever had. We've eaten here many times and will continue to return.
