Ordered albacore sushi, unfortunately the fish was very much not fresh and was starting to smell.

Ordered a Dragon roll as well. Not great, not bad.

Gyoza was gummy and tasted like it was re-heated.

We love this place! After going to Japan, we really missed good sushi. We found Takara shortly after, and the sushi did not disappoint! The workers were so kind as well to bring us a little plate of food for our 1-year old.

I came in and the place was empty. The workers seemed frustrated that it wasn't busier. I ordered the ramen and was judging it's quality for my own reasons. The men behind the counter, who I'm guessing are responsible for the food, seemed to pick up on this. They started staring at me and aggressively and angrily doing their duties, such as putting away dishes or washing dishes. It made a lot of noise and they kept coming out of the kitchen to look at me, as if to say to get out. I decided to leave. I told the guy behind the counter that I didn't appreciate the way they acted. He said nothing, looked down, and smiled as if to say "Well I got you to leave so I win"
The waitresses were nice.

Easily the worst Asian food I've ever had. Echoing and loud. There were only 3 tables. The server didn't ask to get our drinks and got 2 orders wrong even after clarifying and didn't try to make them right. She did attend to the table regularly, but clearly didn't actually want to help. My fried rice had a pool of grease in the bottom. The chicken and steak hibachi was also greasy, dry, overcooked, and under seasoned. The Gyoza was tough and easy too chewy. The edammaes were overcooked, tough, and barely any salt. The clear soup was slightly salty water w some mushrooms and green onion. I would like not eat this again if it was free. I'd try another dish on another night but it's 40$ for the worst food I've had in a while and easily the worst Asian food I've ever eaten. They would get a 1 star if it wasn't for a nice restroom, nice ligting and scene, nice wait staff (no matter how incompetent), and terribly overpriced.
Not going back.

My family and have never had a bad experience at Takara. Good service good food leave feeling we ate a healthy meal. Go early on a Saturday or Sunday they are scrubbing down the restaurant from table legs table tops. Our favorite sushi restaurant and the price is very good. We go around 2-3 times a month. I highly recommend

This was the worst Japanese food I've ever had. The miso soup and udon broth tasted weird, and the shrimp tempura was cold inside. The chef had never trained in Japanese cuisine, and the food was roughly made in the Chinese style.

I ordered 2 uni sushi's, and a bowl of tonkotsu ramen. The uni tasted fresh, but I thought they were a bit small for what they charged ($8.50 per piece). The ramen.... ugh. Was pretty tasteless. The broth didn't taste like anything. Wayyyy under seasoned. The pork pieces were small and not all that great. They were... fine. The dish just wasn't great. I've had better ramen at the ramen station. I probably won't come back.

Delicious food, but about half of my carrots were undercooked, almost raw. The steak and shrimp tasted very good and flavorful. Our waitress was attentive and sweet. The atmosphere is ok, but scuffed parts of the walls should be repainted.
There is NO POINT in having handicapped parking when the door closest to the handicapped parking is unusable. I had to hobble, with my cane, on a painful foot, around to the street side of the building to get to an entrance.

Edit: Updated a bit. Went a third time and it was really good! Maybe the last time was just an off day.

This place is both amazing and decent all at the same time! Each time I have been I have had cuts that are amazing and cuts that are only decent. Most restaurants are like that however the difference is it is inconsistent which cut it will be. Both the salmon belly and the mackerel were amazing last time and the salmon and yellow tail were only decent. This time it was reversed, so I can’t predict what to get. Bright side is they are amazing with shellfish allergies, that is super important and will keep me coming back

First off, a warning about the sushi. Specifically the California roll and Shrimp roll. I dined there twice in 3 months and both times have received bad food poisoning that has lasted over 3 weeks each time. You’d think after 3 months that it would improve, but no. I am constantly in worry that these effects will not stop. Terrible food, terrible atmosphere and over priced for the quality of food.

We stopped in at 1:50. We understand they close at 2.30. We were paid up by 2:20. Just finishing up and they started turning the lights off.

When we arrived the server was rude and obviously didn’t like that we showed up 40 minutes before close of lunch service.
Our miso soup tasted like dishwater. The food directly from the kitchen was fantastic as it always is. But the service was rude and very poor.

Normally the food is decent for the price. We went this last weekend and ordered steak and chicken and fillet mignon on the hibachi. We asked for it to be cooked medium. All the meat was overcooked and almost dry like it was reheated from the day before. Needless to say we wont be spending extra on anything there again if that's how the meat is prepared.

I've been a long time patron of Takara 88. I've always enjoyed their sushi. The last couple of times I've gotten food there, within the last few months (first half of 2023) they have changed the way they prepare their rice. It tastes different and it has a chewy mouth feel and a tangy bitter aftertaste. It changes the taste of everything in a bad way. Would someone from Takara address this and perhaps change back to the way you used to prepare your rice. Thank you

I live on the west and was looking for somewhere close for sushi. Takara 88 has been on my list for awhile now so I was excited. I quickly became disappointed. Throughout my experience service was slow and inattentive. Staff weren’t engaging and moved without urgency. I found myself waiting long periods to get checked on and receive the bill. To top things off, I was charged for what another table ordered which took three people to resolve. I don’t see myself returning.

Very well presented sashimi, decently priced, kind staff, atmosphere is also different than most sushi restaurants.

Lightning is a nice golden tone with a huge island for seating in the middle, includes a patio well sized on opposite side of parking lot.

5.9 update - quality has drastically slipped. Rice in rolls was at least a day old, veggies didn’t taste fresh and the amount of fish in entire rolls equaled the amount you’d expect in a piece of a roll. No more chances for them from me.

Rice was good but ratio of fish was smaller than average compared to amount of other ingredients. I also observed that they did not make online pick up orders until each person arrived and asked about it - even though they were not busy in the restaurant.

For the price, I expected better.

I got salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and salmon belly. The salmon was good, as was the salmon belly. The tuna and yellowtail were both bland, and the tuna had a particularly poor mushy texture.

Considering the price, I could even see this getting a 2/5.

Valentine’s Day dinner and Takara was packed…too packed when you include all of the dine-in patrons & take-out orders the management decided to accept that night. #TooMany #MoreThanTheyCouldHandle.

I’ve been to Takara 88 many times and the the food selection is good. I love the salmon skin sushi and tuna rolls. The sushi plates are generous.

I’m a fan of Takara, but I’ll probably skip the key holiday dates because the dine-in and take-out customers the management accepted greatly exceeded their capacity and both the customers and the staff suffered for that decision.

So definitely go to Takara 88 for the food…But watch the busy nights …The good food might be spoiled by the inconvenience.

My partner and I went around lunch time and were disappointed with our meal. He ordered a noodle soup, which had toppings like broccoli, mini corn, chicken, and tofu. He found that all elements of the soup were overcooked, so the texture was really off. He didn't eat much of his meal outside of the rice. My chicken katsu was alright, but quite bland. The chicken itself seemed completely unseasoned. The accompanying sauce helped add flavor, but was rather pungent. The restaurant's atmosphere was nice, at least, but it was unsurprisingly empty. Their sushi may be worth trying, but I would not return.

We truly enjoyed this high quality sushi/sashimi Japanese restaurant. After a long day of rainy travel, we were ready for a relaxing dinner. My Dancing Salmon roll , paired with a 300ml bottle of sake was delicious and filled my belly just right. Hubby’s chicken teriyaki was delicious. He was more hungry than me. He enjoyed his dinner with Kirin beer. We highly recommend this restaurant. If we lived nearby, we would certainly eat here often.

WOW. Why doesn't this place have five stars across the board?? We got takeout last night, and it couldn't have been better. We got a couple orders of the Vegetable Deluxe, which I think is an order for two, and I was really knocked out by the quality. Every vegetable was treated differently. There was pickled daikon, there was some tempura, and some things I'll be honest I can't identify. The seaweed was also delicious. Family loved the smoked salmon. Everything tasted amazing! Full order was ready in 45 minutes, and on a busy Saturday night with a lot of orders, we were very impressed with the quality. Staff was very attentive and continued to update us in our order. EatStreet tracked the order perfectly and it came out the moment it was supposed to. Best vegan sushi I've had in town and I want to eat here every weekend!

I was really looking forward to have authentic home cooked meals like grilled hamachi Kama, and oshinko and they did not have none of it. The rice they used for meals was not those usual Japanese short grain rice (sushi rice). The cut of sashimi was too thick and big. The salmon sashimi I ordered was still half thawed in the middle. Very disappointed.

Beware: if you have a gift card for Takara, that only lists this restaurant's address on the card, they might claim it's from the west side location and thus somehow impossible to use here. Apparently they share gift cards and names, but you're supposed to just magically know to go to a different location than the one on the card...

This would have been a great thing to know before coming here.

The sushi itself is good, but some of the pieces of sashimi we got weren't fully thawed.

Longer wait than expected to be served on relatively slow night.
No cucumber in the California rolls? Kind of just a mush roll.
Dragon roll also was basically just that with some eel.
Clear soup and Miso was dynamite though.

For the price and service, I was underwhelmed.
I’ll definitely try again!

Went here on Sunday 3/20 and the food was wonderful. Soup was cold but that is okay.
They even accommodated our service dog and we got to sit in the outside dining that wasn’t to be open that day.
I would’ve given this place more stars if only the waitress that day was nicer. She had given us the lunch menu which I had not seen was not a thing on Sundays. The waitress then took the menu out of my hand while reading it and said, “This isn’t a thing right now you can’t order from this.”

The food all came out at once, appetizers are meant to come before your main meal.

The waitress never said thank you or your welcome whenever I said anything to her.

When it was finally time to pay she never came back out. We go inside to grab check and to-go boxes ourselves, and the hostess can’t seem to find our meal. Hostess goes and asks the same waitress what our order was and she says, “I don’t know figure it out.” And then went behind to the kitchen.

Restaurant, food, and setting was awesome. The waitress, not so much…

We were both very pleased! Good portion size. We love hibachi and Takara 88 will definately get more of our business! Plus! The gave us a free order of gyoza in the bag! Which were also very good!

Got there at 4:50 and put our order in by 5:10..no service by 6:30! We left as we had asked several times if our order was coming..worst ever..

The food is typically good but carryout takes like 3x longer to get ready than they estimate. I've wasted so much time waiting on them when they could simply tell you it'll be 1.5 hours and not 30 minutes. Definitely looking for a new sushi place.

Not the best, but consistently good, and a fair value. Also good service and ambiance. A go-to spot for our sushi cravings.

Watched everyone around us get food and drinks while our server talked to us once in 45 minutes and brought drinks appetizers and the main course all out at the same time. Same server has done this multiple times now when coming to Takara 88. Turns a nice night out into a 2 hour encounter.

Food is amazing as always but service from the specific server has been atrocious.

They have great sushi, get take out from here a lot with my friends. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is how long it takes for them to make the food, and the inconconsistent time estimates. Sometimes they are done 10 minutes before the time estimate, most of the time it's done anywhere from 15-45 minutes after the estimate. It's great if you have the time to wait, but sometimes it doesn't feel worth it

I really liked this place, but brought my partner, who is hispanic, and we were not treated the same as the white guests. Very rude, forgot about us, and even forgot some of our stuff. It wasn't busy, we saw how our server was much kinder to others. I loved this place before, but not anymore if someone who is darker is going to be treated less.

The food here is alright, nothing amazing. The service straight up sucks. They forgot my sons order so my wife and I ended up sitting there for 30 minutes with our food in front of us waiting for our sons food to get done.. definitely will not be coming back here again.

Below average sushi. Rice is cold. Fish taste frozen. Way better options for sushi in the area
