Takara 88

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.

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!

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.

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

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.
