Tatu

This place has a great deal for lunch time - $10 for 4 items. The sushi comes in huge portions and taste amazing. I had a pork katsu which is similar to fried pork and it tasted very good. It took a little longer than I wanted so that was a little minus but the food was awesome! The picture is one of the items I bought

Relatively filling food, healthy and not expensive. The quality of the fish might not the highest... Went there on Wednesday, we were the only table in the restaurant and it feels totally fine. The vibe is great, chill music, lots of screens playing any sort of channel and the team doing their job. We had middle of the week deal $10 for 2 appetizers + 2 sushi rolls for a person, and we were very full and satisfy after.

After the scandal, many customers were very disappointed about Tatu thus stopped going for a while. After the recent change in the ownership, the restaurant seemed to be taking off well with the newly renovated hall and bars. Their service has gotten better significantly, as well as its speed. Their lunch special is a great deal! Felix is an excellent server and my friends and I are always delighted to see him. The only downside is when sitting by the tables in front of the restrooms - try avoid sitting near as it can cause you undesired scent while enjoying your food.

I generally won't eat sushi when I am out of town because I am always disappointed, this place has excellent sushi. We talked with the chef who grew up in Japan for a while, he was really into the technique and preparation of his sushi. He cared about the rice considerably, a good sign for a sushi place, he also stressed knife work. The quality of the seafood itself was also top notch. They had fresh uni on hand and it was awesome, he put a touch of wasabi underneath and it was a pleasant surprise. I have been to Japan and while I am no expert, the care and thought that went into the sushi here is very similar to what we experienced in Japan, this is very difficult to find in the States at your standard Sushi joints.

I usually eat here for their lunch special, but there normal menu is also pretty good too. I would reccomend coming. For their lunch special, they include 2 dishes and 2 sides for just $10 and that can fill your stomach easily. It's a combination of Japanese fusion and sushi. I really liked their Tatu Steak and would reccomend their Seafood noodle soup. Overall, the atmosphere of the place provides for a subtle and dark place, great for going on dates.

Probably the best sushi place in Gainesville period. The portions are great, and the variety is fantastic. However, eating in is a different story, it's a lot louder than most restaurants because it also serves as a nighttime bar. A lot of people in the bar also tend to get really rowdy in there. Oh there is the plus of being able to change the jukebox from your phone. A lot of funny moments can happen when you are in control of it.
