tasu asian bistro sushi & bar

had to eat here again after ourgreatfirst experience at tasu yesterday. however tonight's service was terrible! our server jonathan was inattentive to say the least. ordered the hibachi chicken which did not have bean sprouts as the menu stated and it took a literally 5 minutes to get soy sauce dishes before we could dig in to our sushi. had to get up and ask management for drink refills. so i guess hit or miss service. tan tan noodles are excellent i just wish service could be improved.

sadly, tasu is going downhill. we've been going to tasu at least once a month since they opened. we occasionally dine in, and frequently order take-out. while the sushi is good, it's only affordable when you dine in. and the bogo sounds like agreatdeal, but if you go in a group, they won't split checks and if you order , for example, a 14.95 roll, a 15.95 roll, a 6.95 roll and a 8.95 roll, the two you get free are the least expensive. therefore, it's only a good deal if you order rolls that cost about the same amount. bogo is available when you dine in only.

we have always had our favorite dishes, which we order frequently. the past 2 years, the portion sizes have gotten significantly smaller. there is a very small amount of meat -- you sometimes have to dig to find the chicken. it typically tastes good, but it's probably half of what it was several years ago.

overall, tasu has become a bit of a disapointment and we are taking our business elsewhere more and more often.

best hot and sour soup ever. 2 for 1 sushi rolls and agreatmenu. quick lunch time service and friendly staff. 9 beers on tap

jack of all trades, master of none.. i ordered from the thai menu. it was not bad, but it was notgreateither. i won't be going back.

went there for dinner. we had hibaci chicken, pad thai and panang curry. all tasted good, but i would say they are not quite as good as sushi thai. but good nonetheless. restaurant itself is modern and cool. staff were friendly and efficient. overall a positive experience.

this is the place that my girlfriend and i go to if we want a relaxing evening or feel like celebrating for nogreatreason.

horrible service, rude manager. my husband i have been loyal tasu customers for years. we have always been happy with the food, however the rude reception i got from the manager as i asked to be seated today will mean that we will never go back. the man was not only rude to me, but he was openly aggressive to the 2 hostesses, who literally cowered with fear when he snapped at them. i left , disgusted.
when i called back later to give feedback as to why i had left, i unfortunately got the same guy, who hung up on me midsentence as i politely asked to speak to the owner . i called back in case it was a bad line and he did the same thing again. what a jerk and what a shame as the food wasgreat!

fast service, friendly service andgreatroll selection. wide variety of sake as well.

great food /staff. this is agreatplace to go. the sushi is good and fresh i did not have all the issues and my waiter was very nice.

favorite sushi restaurant ever!. it's sad to see all the negative reviews on here, especially about the service. i've been going to tasu at least once or twice per month for more than a year. i've always hadgreatservice. no, the buy-one-roll-get-one-free deal does not apply to take-out orders, but i feel as though they are always clear about that.

my order is always perfect when i get it. every server i have has been really nice, professional, and more than competent. the tables are always very clean and the restaurant itself is very pretty.

disclaimer: i don't work at, for, or in any relation to, tasu. i just appreciate agreatrestaurant.

horrible management!. went to tasu for a girls night out last night ... the food wasgreat... however the management is probably the most horrible thing i've ever experienced ... including any fast food establishment i've ever been to! the bogo situation is a joke and will screw you if you aren't paying attention. there were 6 of us and collectively a $200 bill ... which in my opinion is a table and a bill that deserves good customer service! we weren't paying the bill collectively though we were paying in 6 separate checks ... only paying for what we individually ordered. then we learned that they wouldn't give us separate checks ... (stupid but i have seen it before) ... however at a closer look at the bill we realized why they didn't want to give us separate checks ... collectively we had ordered 10 sushi rolls and they had taken off the 5 cheapest ones ... regardless of who ordered what ... and they refused to give us separate checks because if they had it would have been a cheaper bill collectively. i spoke with the manager and i might as well been talking to a brick wall b/c he looked at us as if we were ignorant and didn't know what we were saying ... we were calling them out on their that appreciate their scheme and he just stared at us like he wasn't even listening. after 20 min of arguing we pulled out a piece of paper and wrote down what each of us ordered on individual pieces of paper and even wrote down which sushi roll should have been free (the cheapest of the two that each individual ordered) ... it was like working with 2 year olds that didn't know how to run a tab or add things together ... then once that ran the cards there were still two cards that weren't charged correctly. one tab ended up being $4.95 ... i seriously have never delt with a more ignorant group of management in my life! i mean we wrote down what we ordered and what the prices were and one still came out as $4.95 ... i can't even explain how frustrating and unnecessary all that was ... especially at an establishment that you are paying collectively a $200 bill!

my girlfriends and i plan on contacting the management directly and will not be attending this place ever again ... i'm not a fan and will not support a place that doesn't take care of the customers and tries to screw them over on the sly as if we were stupid and wouldn't notice!

don't waste your time! there are other sushi places in the area patrons!

sad, too sad. the lunch with my friends was spoiled by inability of restaurant to provide separate checks for sushi. their greedy rules forced us to have one single bill per whole table and caused lots of problems when final bill was delivered. some of us ordered expensive sushi, others - cheap ones. the offer "buy 2, get one free" isgreatonly if you come here with a family. but in case of lunch, when you need separate bills, you won't get expected service. in our case they charged all expensive entries in the order (to remind: we was forced to have one bill per whole table) and counted cheapest ones as a "free" option. as a result people who ordered cheap option to save the money got "free" meal and others get no their "free" option. so we've spent lots of time trying to figure out, how to pay that bill.
we will never come here again.

denied. last night my wife and i were driving by tasu and saw the sign outside advertising buy one sushi roll, get one free so we thought we would give tasu a try and pick up a couple of rolls to take home with us.

we live in the brier creek area and were really happy that there was a sushi place so close to us. if the sushi was good, we would probably stop in at least every other week.

we went into the bar area and saw another sign on the way in that said they were offering half price appetizers sunday through thursday before 6 pm.

again, this sounded like agreatdeal so we also put in our order for a couple of appetizers to go.

while we were waiting for our order, we discussed the possibility of reserving tasu for my wife's birthday next month. we had been looking for a place that could accomodate 40 to 50 people for this event and tasu seemed like it would be perfect.

while we waited, we heard a group of 3 arguing with the bartender because they had come in for the buy one, get one sushi, but they had split the bill.

because they had split the bill, the management was charging them full price for all of their sushi rolls and not honoring the buy one, get one deal.

after waiting for about 10 minutes, the bartender we had placed our order with comes to tell us that she cannot honor any of the deals advertised because we had placed our order to go.

we were a bit shocked at first because this made absolutely no sense at all. it was a take out order meaning that no one would have to wait on us or clean up after us and they would still be making money from our purchase.

we protested a bit and were met with "i'm sorry but it's just our policy" after which we left sushiless and angry.

after wasting our time because of a very poorly thought out policy,

i truly suggest you think twice before spending your money with tasu.

they may advertise a deal or you may have a coupon but they're going to do what they can to make sure you pay full price for their food.
