Our 1st visit and very impressed. Nice selection and service is pleasant and prices are fair.
Taka is a sushi master. I have had sushi at the best sushi restaurants in Los Angeles and this is better. Very welcoming place we are treated like gold when we go in and thats twice a week sometimes....Great service and high food quality. I dont know what happened with the few negative reviews but we go because its consistent and high quality EVERY time. We talk about going to other sushi restaurants but it never happens, you wont be disappointed tell Taka That Aaron sent you in and prepare yourself for a treat!
Excellent, authentic Japanese cuisine down to the last detail. Delicious food, nice portions, friendly staff. Best Japanese restaurant on the Island.
Quaint smaller place with varied seating arrangement. Small glimpse of waterway (inner harbour). Inexpensive. Reasonable quality for the price.
I don't know what's going on with the five star reviews of this place, but that was not my experience! In all seriousness, this is the first time I have ever thrown out food that I paid a premium price for. I went on a Wednesday mid afternoon and it was not busy. But no "irasshaimase" for me!Instead I had to seat myself, wait a long while and then ask for a menu. 10 minutes went by and no water or anything. Then I had to ask the sushi chef. That is not his job and I can tell you he wasn't pleased with his staff.I ordered the bento box to go because I felt like the service would take much too long. And I was right. While I was waiting I ended up ordering a piece of sashimi. The quality was ok (thats why 2 instead of 0 stars) But Im going to go with something was lost in translation because I got what I think was a single serving that was sliced into two pieces. At least that's what I'm hoping it was .As opposed to a double serving that was so thin I could literally see through it .I took a photo as it was so oddThe Bento Box was worse than the cheapest sushi place ive been. The temperature was lukwarm, the tempura obviously old that had been refried and soggy, the tiny cali roll falling apart amd the rice was not cooked right .The gomaea was a literal cold lump of spinach with a congealed glob of thick, solid seaseme seed something on top . And a chinese style spring roll (why?) with mystery sauce .I suspect that this place probably has decent Sushi because the sushi chef himself was aware of what he was doing. However you cannot call yourself an Izakaya if you can't even turn out a couple hot items that are made properly.Won't be going back for a second chance on this one because there is too much competition that can do such a simple thing so much better.
