    Tappi is truly one of the best local restaurants, offering some of the most delicious sushi rolls we’ve ever had. Each roll was crafted with fresh ingredients, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. What made the experience even more special was the personal touch—the owner took the time to stop by our table, warmly greeting us and making us feel like valued guests. The service was exceptional, with the staff being friendly, and knowledgeable. Tappi is a must-visit spot for anyone who appreciates high-quality sushi and a memorable dining experience.

    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 sushi and sashimi

    Server was friendly and accomodating. Ordered the chef's special sashimi and the salmon was the only thing that tasted and felt good enough. Half shell oysters tasted decent. The jalapeno poppers were amazing but too spicy for my taste. Strawberry martini was good according to my wife. Sin City roll was good and my Padres roll was huge and alright. They have a lot of choices in their menu and it took a bit to choose which one to order. Atmosphere was nice and the inside of the restaurant looks clean. Everything was a nice experience except for majority of the food that we ordered.

    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.
