“ Friendly staff, reasonably priced lunch items which taste good ”
“ Amazing sushi. I’ve been going here for years and the quality is always top-notch. It does get very busy, but when it isn’t the atmosphere is calm. The fish tank is pretty cool. The construction of the maki rolls is always great, and to be honest it all tastes amazing. I would recommend the maki named after the surrounding towns, for example the Wellesley roll. The other food is good too - the tempura and beef bibimbap are delicious. Best sushi around. ”
“ Wow! It had been awhile since I found sushi this good. Only downside is that it is 1 hour from us, but I took my wife back there later the same week!! Presentation is awesome and taste profile matches! ”
“ Their food is absolutely delicious every time we go, which is quite often. The people who work there are so friendly and perfectionists. Highly recommend. ”
“ Looks like I will be coming here a lot more to sample things on their varied menu — good variety of rolls, more traditional Japanese restaurant offerings (udon, katsu, tempura, sashimi, sushi, etc.) and Korean (bibimbap - both cold and hot served in stone bowls; bulgoggi; etc.) Also a nice lunch menu. My first visit and impression was very favorable. 06/24/22 update - second lunch visit: ordered the chirashi bowl for 12.50. The sashimi was of acceptable quality but medium grade. Top grade fish would run you at least 10 more; so their chirashi is fairly priced but not spectacular. The bento box I had on the first visit was a better choice for lunch. Update: 09/05/22 - Takara is now one of my “go-to”restaurants — they have improved the lunch special bento in terms of presentation, and everything I’ve ordered is well prepared. ”
“ A new favorite restaurant. We had a sampling of delicious dishes. Our server was extremely accommodating. She brought a sample of both wines to see which one I liked best. They celebrated our friends birthday with a song and complimentary dessert. Will be back! ”
“ The food is great here and always fresh, definitely recommend if you are in the area. ”
“ My favorite local restaurant, the combination of great food and friendly service make this hard to beat. Sit at the bar if you can, you may get passed a treat to try on the house ”
