This place did not exist anymore when I was there in July 2021. Looks like they closed, maybe from COVID?

This restaurant has extraordinary service and delightful food. The best restaurant around town. The drinks and food arrived rapidly and the rates are inexpensive. Recommended.

two days ago was the first time we came to that magnificent restaurant. But It is absolutely not the last. We had a good time with the efficient service, with the finest cooking and wine and with the comfortable charge. We will definitely come back soon.

Great environment and super amiable service. The food was crisp and yummy. Will easily recommend this spot to my friends. Affordable rates and big meals. Great work.

Best vegetarian sushi options of any place I've ever been

Although my friends enjoyed their order because it was just the right portion for them, they could easily tell I didn't enjoy mine. My fault for playing the safe route and going for sushi. Takemura has Korean and Japanese food, but I'm not huge on Korean food. My first roll was the White Tiger Roll, which I felt like was a basic tuna roll and it's only strong point was the wasabi lemon sauce. Second was the Tornado Roll, this was a shrimp tempura topped with spicy crab meat. Although I wasn't a fan of the sushi, I still suggest you try it out, it may be your cup of tea! Also, it definitely beats waiting 2 hrs for the Jap BBQ upstairs.

At Takemura, the sushi and sake were passable, but disappointing.

This restaurant is my preferred one. I visit plenty of restaurants but to this restaurant I keep coming back again and again. The stuff is very receptive and the cooking they serve is so flavorful. I am always happy to have a nice meal in this restaurant. Highly recommended.

This spot obviously knows how to serve their clients. Always with a kind demeanor. The food is reasonably priced, always yummy and clean.

Good place for takeout/snackpass! In snackpass they sometimes have 10% off discounts which is a plus. Overall the quality of their sushi isn't great, but it does the job of fulfilling a sushi craving for college students. Their spicy tuna rolls could have a better ratio of fish to rice. Their rice also isn't the best texture. However takemura fulfills the takeout sushi craving in Cambridge in comparison to cafe sushi, which has higher quality sushi but difficult to get a reservation at.

Delicious food and convenient in Harvard Square.

It may be listed as Japanese, but their Korean beef broth soup really hit the spot on a cold day!

Quaint restaurant. Non pretentious with a very wide variety of options and very high value for money.

Cameron Jones

Good quality, reasonable price.

Food was nice, not to the level of being impressive but not much to complain about either. Feels good for the price.
