   Met here with some friends as we were craving sushi. The food was good quality. The ambience was nice for a sushi restaurant, and the service was really great! I would recommend.

   Service was very slow. Took 15 minutes after being seated for anyone to come our way. I tried to wave down multiple servers. Service continued to be very slow throughout the meal. The food was okay, but I expected something special for the premium prices on the menu.

   Noisy but it’s a Saturday night. Service very slow. Food very good. Will probably take out next time.

   Always a pleasure to go to Takumi. Except when the hostess lies to you about seating. We made a reservation, we were not walk-ins. Please get another hostess.

   We visited Takumi yesterday and were so disappointed with the service that we left before even ordering food. First, the waitress attempted to seat us right by the door, despite the restaurant being far from full—strike one. Then, it took her 15 minutes to even take our drink orders, and only because we had to ask. After another 10–12 minutes, we finally received our drinks. At that point, we decided to ask for the check and head somewhere with better service.

   Hi Jessica, We're really sorry to hear about your recent experience at Takumi Bistro & Bar. We understand that waiting and service issues are frustrating, especially when you're trying to enjoy a meal with friends or family. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused and we appreciate your patience. We had double check with server about seating, at the time most booth are been taken that's why they put you in the last booth we've had which is closer to the entrance. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we strive to improve our service. We're taking your comments seriously and will work on improving our service time and time again. Thank you for your understanding and for taking the time to share your experience. The Management Team

   For what the price was, the sushi was just okay. I’ve had much better sushi for cheaper. The wait staff was slow, and never asked if I wanted another beverage the entire time. The restaurant itself is gorgeous inside.

   This was the best meal we’ve had in quite some time! The food was absolutely spectacular, the presentation was great, the service was timely, and the overall restaurant atmosphere was delightful. We can’t wait to go back again — it was an awesome experience with amazing food!

   Sushi is always excellent. We love this Asian restaurant and frequent at least once per month. Good Bar selection. Servers are wonderful and the restaurant's decor is very nice too.

    The food here is amazing and so is the service. The quality of the sushi is outstanding. My husband does not eat sushi and also finds many amazing options on the menu. Highly recommended.
