We had the menu that included a small, tasty appetizer with tuna and avocado paste, a very tasty seaweed salad, tempura shrimps, a dish with sushi and nigiri (quite big portion) and as dessert green tea ice cream and cheesecake. Everything was very tasty, the...quantities were big and we were really full in the end. The menu was for 48 chf per person, very affordable considering the quantity and quality. The atmosphere was very nice, perfect for romantic dinners :) I definitely recommend it!More

Well located, I always find this small sushi place to have amazing quality. Watching the sushi and sashimi get made at the bar is mesmerizing and the care that goes into each serve is amazing. Have visited at night and whilst great, I would recommend...trying this at lunch as well as they have especially good value meals at this time. This isn’t one of those places we’re things are pre-made and sit in a fridge for you to choose - everything is made fresh to orderMore

Besides being delicious the kitchen team has a passion to bring authentic Japanese cuisine to Lausanne. Excellent service ready to improvise to the level of details that leave customer wanting to come back soon. Better with friends.

Been here many times and it great as usual. But just now I also discovered that it is very service oriented. I was in super hurry to catch the train ... and also super hungry. They served me shushi in 7 minutes! Thanks! Well done!

I’ve been there at least 5 times in the past year or so. Sushis are getting worse and worse everytime, which is a bummer cause it was pretty good at the beginning. Last time they doubled up our reservation and we were asked to leave...even though there was a table left. Seriously who runs a business this way?More

It is the second time that we were in this restaurant in the heart of Lausanne which is nice but small. The Sushi is prepared right in front of your eyes, but also the other Japanese menus seem to be very good (have not tried...anythig else so far but the sushi) The service is nice and friendly. If you want to go there it is avisable you reserve a table.More

I came here on recommendation of an old friend. I have been on the lookout for a good sushi place in lausanne. Not so simple a quest as one might expect. This is good unpretentious Sushi at reasonable prices.

I've been to Taiyo three or four times and it's definitely getting worse and worse. I'm sure today was the last time. Food quality is average but service is very bad. Staff is really rude and unfriendly. When I complained about the food, the waitress...told me that this is what it is. It has been always like this and I can't do anything for you...It was shockingMore

I have come to this restaurant a lot and I have to say that the quality and price are good value for money in Switzerland. It's hard to find an all you can eat restaurant but for 48 CHF on Tuesdays and Wednesdays this place...delivers. The fish is very good quality and the service is excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant to friends and colleagues.More

I walking around town finding a place to grab a bite when I stumbled upon this hidden gem. It's hidden away on the side off the main road from the train station. The service was great, as I was explained to that they have recently...started these fusion california makis as I was kindly suggested to try them. By God, I'm glad I did. That sauce on that roll was just amazing. I also noticed that they do a gogo on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Would definitely go back again and suggest you guys do the same. :DMore

We went very early with our children and it was not busy at all. Service was very quick. We had tuna, salmon and cucumber rolls and futomaki and enjoyed everything. Room is very small but clean and pretty.

One of those places were you would go only with locals and by recommendation. I would never get attracted by the place from looking on it from outside, frankly. It's very smallplace - I don't believe there is more than 10 tables. And it's rather...basic. But the food was excellent, great quality of products (which is the most important when you gonna eat raw fish anyway :)). Prices for Lausanne are alright. Sushi a go-go are around 50CHF. So if really hungry. I took a tartar (18CHF) and California rolls (around 20 I guess). Ah, and a super green tea and black sesam ice-creams! Overall - great place for an average going-out, but not for a special event.More
