Tappi Sushi & Grill — Restaurant in Spring Valley

Nice place. Cozy inside. Bar, sushi bar, tables. Cocktails. Happy hour. Looks like it's closed from the outside. Chicken Katsu was delicious. I ordered a chicken curry bowl. While tasty, in person the dish wasn't what I'd expected and I still would've ordered it with a modification. The prices were vastly different than in person or on small to go menus. The bowl was online at $10, in reality it was 16.99+tax. Portion was good size. My to go curry didn't come in a bowl container but a regular styrpphone square. And because this is not a chunky curry sauce it was a mess in the bag before it even reached my hands. Bc of the diced nature of the small diced potatoes and the shredded carrot this is quite saucy. Think a thin curry stew. A yummy sauce to be sure. Knowing this I would probably ask for a soup container wrapped in plastic for the sauce to go. if I ordered this dine in, I might still ask for either lighter sauce or on the side. They did attempt to keep sauce to one side of the container so half of each katsu slice touched the sauce. I ended up eating it in my car rather than have a soggy mess when I drove. Worth it taste wise. I'd like to come back and try their...

My family and I usually come to this place 2-4 times a month. Today we went in while it was still happy hour. The items we ordered were from the happy hour menu and I actually pointed out to the waitress what I was getting from the happy hour menu. After eating, I looked at the bill and everything is full price so I inform the waitress that I specifically ordered items on the happy hour menu because it was still happy hour. She said she put the order in at 6:35pm which was five minutes after happy hour ended. She said she would talk to her manager to see what she can do. After she spoke with the manager and then called someone on the phone, she came back to say that the order was put in five minutes late and they could not change it in the computer. I said okay, paid the bill and let her know we would not be back. ...

Not the worst. More like a 7 out of 10.

This was back in January 2021. Not a very skilled group owner. Sushi was okay. Could have been 500 times better if they knew how to serve it. Sushi was way to cold to serve, waitresses acted like thye were doing us a favor, and the sushi chef had some wierd impolite vibe to him. Not sure I can put a handle on it, but it was all in the attitude. They did not mess anyhting up, but it was nto a quality experieicne either. Seems like this there is a 50/50 chance of getting an okay meal. Nothing great. I may go a few mroe times to test whether it was the employees at the time, or simply poor management.

The people givning this place GREAT review need to go to a hi-end sushi place. There is no comparison, but for East county,...
