Food: 5/5 Food Service: 3/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 Price: 5/5 Customer service: 3.5/5 Would I return: Yes Just flew into town and we wanted something light. We Googled this place and said let's give it a try. We walked in and to note we are not Caucasian. There were a few people people at the bar and ooh the looks we received as why are they here. However, the girl at the counter was pleasant to us when we walked in. We decided to sit inside since no one was at the tables and they were a few people outside, not buy at all and it was around 8:30pm We sat down the waitress, Asian lady was not rude but not friendly. No greeting, asked if we wanted water. She got the water, placed it down a little hard and that was that. We looked at each other and said oh lord,here we go. We sat for about 20 minutes before our order was taken. I mentioned it was not busy. Once we ordered it had taken another 20-25 to get our food and you CA. See below what we ordered it shouldn't have taken that long. Anywho, we received our food, then you can feel the Asian lady energy started to change for the better. She talked to us and was engaging. However, interesting experience. We ordered the following: Chicken Karaage - 5/5: This was good and the sauce that came along with it was good. I needed more for the amount of chicken that was given. Miss soup 5/5: it was good and not salty, just enough flavor. Salad 3/5: the salad was good, I should have ordered the salad dressing on the side, it was bit much on the salad. Shrimp tempura maki roll 5/5: fresh and good. Nice size cuts not too big or small. Veggie Maki roll 5/5: fresh and good. I would return if ever back in Utah.

I ordered miso soup, house salad, squid nigiri and scallop yakitoro. soup was great, a bit saltier than most, but I loved that. The salad is very generously portioned. The dressing is a little bit too sweet for my taste. I added a little soy sauce lime juice, which helped. The scallop was good though it tasted more broiled than grilled. I would have loved a char! I ended with mochi ice cream! So yum! Very flavorful , especially the mango! The green tea was my favorite. And my server Suzy was a sweetheart. Great customer service by all! Considering over all options and quality for reasonable prices I give this stop five stars!

We love Tokyo Tower! We have been here many times and we always leave impressed. The sushi is…read moreincredible and fresh, the miso soup is perfect (the tofu texture makes all the difference), and the service is great. The decor and atmosphere are top notch with beautiful tapestries and lighting, booths with privacy blinds, and a large layout so it never feels cramped. I truly can't say enough great things about this place. It's so affordable compared to other sushi places in the area. I have not tried the entrees so I can't speak for those yet. Our favorite food options: Bamboo roll, Won Tons, Salmon Lover roll, Summer Citrus roll, Salmon, Tuna, and Red Snapper Sashimi, and Miso Soup.

Arrived a few minutes before lunch was ending but told our server we'd like to enjoy the dinner options. Sashimi is a dinner item, nigiri for lunch.

A Sushi Buffet with Surprises -- Fresh Rolls, Friendly Vibes & a Plate-Finding Adventure…read more We finally made it to Takumi Sushi & Buffet, and if you're into sushi buffets (guilty!), this spot has some standout features that make it worth the visit. The best part? You can order custom sushi rolls made fresh--no waiting around for dried-out rice rolls here. We tried the Sunrise Roll, which was bright and citrusy with a lemony kick, and the Tequila Roll, which packed some serious heat. I tapped out after one spicy piece (spice and I are not friends), but my other half loved it and polished off the rest without hesitation. The buffet line is a solid spread too: sashimi, nigiri, a seafood section with peeled shrimp, mussels, and rock crab, plus a bunch of hot dishes to round things out. Pro tip: The plates and bowls are underneath the buffet counters. It took me a moment to find them, but my shorter half was already ahead of the game--of course. They've got a dumpling station that's worth lingering over, and the pork belly buns were so good I may have gone back for seconds (and thirds). And if you're a prawn fan? They've got them every which way: chilled, grilled, fried--take your pick. The soups are self-serve and include miso, seafood, and egg drop--classic, comforting, and great for warming up between plates. Special shoutout to Nico, our friendly and helpful server who explained how everything works since it was our first time. Always appreciate service with a smile. We left full, happy, and with a couple of come-back cards for $3 off lunch and $5 off dinner--nice little bonus! While it may not be our go-to for sushi-only cravings, it's definitely one of the better buffets in town, and we'll absolutely be back.

It has been about a decade since the last time I went to Takashi, not because it wasn't good, it…read morewas more because it was inconvenient to wait for a table when there's so many new ones popping up in the valley in the last 10 years. I was amazed by how bustling it was during lunch on a week day, even more impressed by how many office people showed up. I would say it was a good experience but not a personable experience. We got our table, we got our food, we paid the bills. No one would check if there were any special occasions or if the food was okay. Now that I think about it, people who showed up was not for an intimate laid back meal, it was for efficiency. Our large sashini combo was great. The mackerel and tuna tasted fresh, jello-like and octopus was different. The atlantic salmon was ok, not the best I've had, and same for the albacore tuna. Toro and uni nigiri were delicious. Agedashi tofu was average. I prefer lighter batter, but the broth was great. Overall, I would come back for the mackerel/ tuna sashimi and those toro uni nigiris.

Takashi is an upscale Japanese restaurant located in downtown. It looks highly rated so we decided…read moreto give it a try. Came here on a Tuesday evening for dinner. It was pretty busy, but we were greeted by the hostess and seated immediately. Street parking was easy to find. We ordered the Edamame, Saikyo-Miso Sablefish, Ankimo Sashimi, Small Sashimi Combination, and The Uptown Roll. The Edamame were nicely salted, served warm, and came in a standard portion. The Sablefish was served with pickled carrots and onions. It was moist and tender with good flavor. This was my first time having Ankimo Sashimi, so I was not sure what to expect, but it was solid. It came with three slices along with shredded carrots and cucumber slices. The Small Sashimi Combination came with Tuna, Albacore Tuna, Mackerel, Octopus, and Salmon. All of the items were high quality. The Salmon was especially smooth and buttery. The Uptown Roll was a solid roll, but was smaller than expected. Overall, giving Takashi a 4/5. Service is fast, especially for how busy it was. The staff are friendly, and the food is good, although not the best value. The Small Sashimi Combination was our favorite item we ordered. Would recommend to others to try.
