Reviews for Tappi Sushi & Grill in La Mesa, CA
We were here for our monthly-versary! This place is ahmazing! We had the honeymoon shooters. They were out of Uni so we added... shrimp. It was happy hour and we got the yummy 8 PC sashimi, which included Albacore, Salmon, Yellowtail, and tuna. It waspresented beautifully with a flower, carrots, lemon slices, and green onions. The only thing missing was the authentic Wasabi.We ordered Ikura, and I was thrilled because Ikura (salmon eggs) have been scarce recently. TRY the chili green beans. It's awonderful way to start the meal. We also ordered the sake bomb for $10 on the happy hour menu that includes a cute mini sake anda 4.3 fl oz Sapporo beer. We had Daniella as a server, she was wonderful. TRY the Helix Roll! Read more
Great service, and a lengthy happy hour menu with a dollar or two off many popular items. Overall good but the prices trend... very high. They have some rolls that are $30 each or more once you add tax and tip. For that price it should be an amazing rollbut they are not that impressive. I got one that was supposed to be in a cucumber wrap. It was a quarter inch thick! A cucumberwrap is supposed to be thin as paper. Also, just about everything has shrimp so if you don't like shrimp or you don't eatshellfish, you have to really study the menu to find something that will work, or you have to know how to customize your order. That's a pain. Most sushi restaurants have more fish options. There are also kitchen options of course, but I did not trythem. Read more
Tappi has a great selection. Many many rolls to chose from and all very tasty from what I've tried. They also have a full bar. I... enjoyed the insanity roll and the shrimp poppers. They have plum wine flavored mochi which was excellent. Read more
We were looking for a new sushi connection. This place was very close to home and the fish was the best. The waitress was also... very professional and efficient. My wife and I were very satisfied and have found our new sushi hangout. Read more
The staff here are pleasant. Food is made to order. My issue is that these rolls are overpriced and underwhelming. Plus, I... ordered takeout and the rolls didn't look worth the prices. One of the rolls I ordered, it was either the Protein or Tappi roll(whichever has a green sauce on top) was DRENCHED in sauce. Like the bottle cap fell off and all the sauce flooded the box orthey were really trying to cover something up. None of the rolls I ordered were memorable or else I'd mention which one Iactually liked. Read more
Have reviewed this place before, sushi was fantastic as always. Went on Father's Day, got there about 1100. Was just one server... working the floor. Didn't catch her name, but she handled 10 different tables and didn't miss a beat! Had an amazing attitude,smiling and attentive though extremely overtasked. Tipped well, deserved it! Read more
Good flavors but all my rolls fell apart and they were a bit smaller in size. Here are the Protine roll and the black&yellow.... The soy beans were over cooked and mushy. Read more
Not good. Service person was fine. Table wasn't clean. Teriyaki chicken had no flavor. Other items did not seem fresh. ... California roll fell apart. Unfortunately took my out of town guest. They commented on how bad it was as well. Very expensivefor the quality. Will not be going back. Read more
