Mandolin Sushi & Japanese steak house 3923 South 12th Street, Tacoma, WA 98405

"I don't have much positive to say. The food was only ok. The unagi was mushy...gross. The yakisoba was not good. The quality of the meat in the Mongolian beef was decent but the flavor was not that enjoyable. I have no idea what the hibachi is like, and won't be back to find out."

"Very nice place. We went for lunch special. Hansel was very talented and funny. Very good food, nice workers. I recommend trying it out for the food and experience"

"We wanted hibachi and this place hit the spot. We came in for lunch on a Saturday, so we did the lunch special that included an entree, miso soup, and salad. All of the staff members were very friendly and the food was hot and fresh. It’s always fun to watch the food being prepared on the grill. The portions were generous, so I was able to eat my leftovers for dinner that day. We haven’t tried any of the sushi here yet, so maybe we will get that next time."

"I wasn't sure what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. My steak was cooked to perfection and so very tender. My boyfriend got a couple different rolls and said they were really good. On the way out we had a lovely chat with one of their employees, a personable young man named Brandon. We will be going back. Oh, the picture is from our seat, looking across the grill"

"Our first time experiencing this place and the food was not only visually exciting and beautiful but also extremely appetizing. We had the 16 piece sashimi which included salmon and salmon belly which is an excellent delicacy that you do not get served at a usual sushi bar what a treat! Salmon yes at other sushi bars but not salmon belly. The fish was cold and very fresh with great flavors. We also had the Monster roll that is a bit on the spicy side with sliced jalapeno served on top. Too spicy for my husband that ordered it but I didn't mind having it so myself ☺️. Since My husband only ate a few pieces of the roll he ordered the surf clam nigiri which was very tasty. Overall we will definitely be back to this great find and try out more rolls or even the hibachi that they cook there."
