Been coming here for years and good chefs come and go. This time around we had an amazing chef who kept us entertained and prepared a good meal. Sometimes coming to these places you may not have the best experience but today was great. Hopefully the next time we can request this same chef.

This was my fiancée and I first time coming to Takumi. Definitely not what I expected and exceeded beyond my satisfaction. We ordered baked rolls and got desert. Very friendly staff all around, very spacious and the perfect amount of noise. Very clean cooks and chefs, they take great care of the food and customers. Also representation was astonishing, so fun to eat here! It can get pricey but definitely worth every bill.

Me and my friends go here so many times I lost count. But we always get treated very well we don't ever complain or rush servers. We always tell them to take their time if they get backed up. I always sit at the sushi bar, and I've noticed that every time I come in, it's the same guy taking care of us. His name is Lorenzo. He is a super nice guy. We always ask him to make us his favorite rolls. They are all delicious he surprises me every time. I love this spot so much!

I was invited in the international parlance by a friend. She demanded we get the full sized sushi boat tray. I knew it was too much food. I loved it. There was a fair amount of fresh flavors and interesting combinations. I really enjoyed the Hamachi. We sat at the bar and ended up conversing with the chefs. They gave us a variety of house made sauces and dressings, and it was delicious. I believe we had some sake? I had a few Sapporos which I enjoyed. We tapped in a friend who happened to be nearby and he did his best to assist and we still took boxes home. I ordered the bread pudding for dessert and upon Robert's recommendation we also tried the fried ice cream dessert x2. That being said I believe the large boat serves about 5+. I really appreciated the education I was able to receive from the chefs. Overall it was an amazing, memorable dining experience.

Had some really amazing reviews so we decided to have a late lunch hear. First thing you ll notice is the shaded parking with solar roofs. It was hot outside so we really appreciated it. Our appetizers were the calamari and soft shell crab! We had to get a second order because it was soooo good! Definitely recommended the soft shell crab. The Habachi steak was cooked very well and the rolls were all shaped in eye pleasing ways. Very tasty!
