Tai Shan restaurant (Mossel Bay)

Wonderful hidden gem!!!Food is amazing. Tasty!!!Sushi highly recommendedPrices are very affordable Portions are largeI make a point of visiting them every time I'm in Hartenbos/ Mosselbay. Well worth visiting.

A taste of Asia in Mossel BayThe Eats:SushiSteamed pork bunsVeggie chow meinThe Pros:Fair serviceSushi special of 5 plates of your choice for R 145 is a great deal.The sushi special is presented on tiered platters, which makes for a dramatic presentation!The sushi was goooood. I went for plates that I did not have before. I would suggest balancing out the saucy ones with a few classics.The steamed pork buns were nice and fluffy. The filling had good flavourThe Cons:The veggie chow mein could have done with a flavour boost

Amazing Sushi, fresh and delicious.We had an amazing time, our waitress was super fun and energetic, she is truly a gem! Shernathlin, thank you for a great time!

My partner and I went here Christmas eve so the experience might have been affected due to the time of year.When we arrived we had to go to the counter and ask to be seated. After we had asked to be seated they took half an hour to assist us and when we were finally seated, the table and the floor underneath had not been cleaned and still had the mess from the previous customers (the table had been empty since we got there so they had ample time to clean the area. There were also clean tables available where we could have been seated instead)We were a little annoyed at this point but we wanted to try the sushi as it looked quite good from the images on their page. Unfortunately after we had been seated, the staff did not attend to us for a further 15 minutes, at which point we decided to leave.The restaurant is (or was) severely understaffed and the staff that were there were not helpful.

The food was delicious, good portion size. A little expensive on some items but good variety. Taste is good but sweet and sour could be a little more sweet and sour, at present it is more a teriyaki flavour. They work neatly and hygenically.

Definitely not even worth a star. The rice is terrible and the sushi had a smell to it like the place when you enter it. Third time definitely not a charm. Got even worse

It's so nice to see a new restaurant in Mossel Bay!First impressions were great, a very clean and visually appealing appearance.The service was fast and friendly.The chicken soup was delicious.The tuna handroll was excellent, but the fashion sandwich and rolls were uninspiring and a bit dry.The Avo roll barely had Avo in it.I think it can improve by adding more ingredients, rather than just rice.We'll give them another chance.You can bring your own wine!!By the way, it is located next to the Cachalot, in the Agri co-op shopping centre.

Food both Chinese and Japanese is of excellent standard. Sushi beautiful presented. Sushi quality is 100% fresh. Tempura prawns to die for. Wonton soup the original wow. Great variety. Service is always good. Had been to Tai Shan in Voorbaai with friends more than 10 times. Currently my restaurant of choice. No need to travel to the East for their cuisine.

During the majority of the year the services is good ( Tai Shan not busy ). This year we decided to stay in Mosselbay during December and suggested Tai Shan to family and friends.I have never been to Tai Shan during December.I've been there three times during December and on all occasions we have received very disappointing service and food.The last time we visited Tai Shan, waited for more than 1 hour for our food to be served. The sushi was served at room temperature (not as recommended by industry standards) After taking a bite of the Sashimi, we realized that the Salmon was off. (also served at room temperature and rotten /spoiled). The restaurant did replace it with new plate of fresh Sashimi. (My question is, how many clients were served with this quality Salmon) We all know what the consequences are with eating rotten / spoiled fish products.Besides the quality of food, the waiters / servers was very unprofessional and unorganized, serving/stretching food and drinks over one row of seats and the turn table to clients on the other side instead of walking around to clients and serving the clients in a professional manner.Also some other clients that came in quite some time after us, received their orders way before we received our order (even other clients noticed the great delay in orders being served and commented on it)Besides the unprofessional staff; because we are regular clients to Tai Shan, our regular waiter; told us that we qualify for discount. This was said and promised for the last 3 visits to Tai Shan. We enquired about this offer the last 3 times and every time the same answer; they dont have cards anymore and are waiting for new cards arriving from Cape Town...Recommendations to the restaurant:Install air-conditioning (comfort to clients)Serve sushi at colder temperature (recommended industry standards, comfort to clients)Increase number of sushi chef (clients won't wait hours to be served their food)Train staff how to interact with clients in a professional and organized manner.I would have normally recommended Tai Shan over any other sushi restaurant in the Mosselbay area, but I might need to change my opinion on this and give other sushi restaurants in the area a go...
