Definitely the worst crab rangoons I’ve ever had. They tasted stale, they were so hard to chew… such a bummer!

Love Takara. We eat there all the time and love the sushi and the staff. The specialty rolls are all quite good.

Not a bad time at all. This place is pretty solid and I love the atmosphere. Food took a little while but that's no one's

The food is good quality and the staff is friendly. Kitty has been there for years and knows all the regulars orders.

It was a lot of low grade rolls, such as spicy "something", tempura or crab.

I was hesitant to try this place. I very rarely give sushi restaurants a chance if they are below 4 stars just due to wanting to avoid food poisoning but something about this place had me feeling things would be better than 3.9 stars. Looking through the window there was a big lunch crowd, the decor and atmosphere looked lovely and the menu was exciting to me.I’m happy to give this place 5 stars. They are way better than a 3.9 .I was given a complimentary appetizer while I waited for my main course. The staff was kind, the decor was modern and welcoming. They had no problems with my request to add something to my meal and made it look easy. I would certainly come back here.If I could give my thoughts on how this place could go above and beyond I would urge them to remain humble. I get the sense the staff feels the 3.9 rating is not justified which unfortunately will mean there’s potential they will miss opportunities to become the best of the best.Service wasn’t as buttoned up as you’d hope for the price point. I’d recommend they ensure there is always someone front of the house checking in. I was left without service for large gaps of time with the whole staff back in the kitchen. This should be a priority to address.I’ve seen others comment on cleanliness. I don’t think this is a concern in a good safety way at all but if they want to keep the 5 stars coming I’d recommend their sushi station be less cluttered. Removing the toaster ovens from the customers view and aHere’s to hoping more 5 stars follow from here and that they continue to seek improvement. I’d urge customers not to be quite so harsh on small businesses like this. Provide feedback that is realistic and allows them to grow. Bombing them with a 1 star should be reserved for truly extreme situations

Very small portions for quite a large sum of money. And the food wasn’t even good… Not worth it at all.

I ordered delivery, Scallion, pancakes, and Maki. I have never in my life had such bad scallion pancakes. Maybe it was a one off but I’ve been to the other Takara locations and I am a little shocked. The maki was okay.

This restaurant is so disrespectful to their customers. We first went in to get a printed copy of the menu a few days prior to getting the food, and when there was a misunderstanding about whether we wanted to eat there or just get a menu, she gave petty comments like "well you should have just told me that". The owner had a very bad additude and made complaints when she received a tip less than 15%. She made rude comments and assumed we weren't even from America, told us to do more research on tipping, that the servers were living off our tips and we should feel bad, and told us to do take out if we didn't want to tip 15%. DO NOT COME TO THIS RESTAURANT!!! TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
