The sushi is fresh and tasty, we enjoyed the seared scallop appetizer. My sushi (Tiger roll) was magnificent. The Yuzu lobster roll could have had a bit less rice in the roll but was otherwise very enjoyable. The combination of fish in this roll paired very nicely together. Taka has a vast menu with many options from appetizers to specialty sushi options. They provide alcoholic and non alcoholic mocktails for those of us not interested in consuming liquor.....the mocktails are fantastic. The only thing that made me rate 4 instead of 5 stars was the staff needs a bit of work on serving. We ordered an appetizer and were also given two additional small plates since we were sharing this item. When we were done with the appetizer our specialty sushi plates were bought out and the same server left the three empty plates from the appetizers on the table instead of removing them. Dessert was absolutely decadent and moist (I omitted the whipped cream since I don't like it) but the shortcake was perfect without it. I look forward to returning to Taka and trying more items on the menu.

We asked for separate checks, which they were able to accommodate as well. I was very pleased with the menu options for me. I am gluten-free and vegan, and I prefer healthy choices. They had steamed veggies, jasmine rice, and steamed tofu. My dish had so much tofu, so I feel it was definitely a great deal! I saw my friends' food, and one friend got a sushi platter that was beautifully presented. The sushi platter was on ice, with flowers adorning it and the sushi in the middle. I don't have anything negative to say about this place. We were very pleased.

It took forever to have our order taken, and while she was taking our order, she took a phone call. She could've brushed it off til we were done but she didn't. We each ordered a sushi roll to start off the meal and we each ordered a bowl of tonkatsu as our mains. My friend's sushi came out first, then our ramen, then my sushi roll. It didn't come out one after the other, they came out pretty spaced out. That annoyed me. The sushi rolls could've come out together. The ramen flavor was ok. The pork was not melt-in-your-mouth like most ramen pork. The egg was perfectly cooked. The noodles had perfect consistency. The broth was ok. The place has some age to it and only has a few tables. It does get busy so I guess it's good enough for the area.

As I was leaving, I saw Seagrass! Linda was exceptionally nice as she had people sitting outside to get in! I was a party of one and sort of in a hurry! Well, well, well....I ordered the clam chowder and it was exceptional! The arugula calamari salad was next level as well. The catcher was that meals were by one get one so why not. I ordered the halibut and scallops with corn and tomato risotto! It was amazing! Worth the trip and the experience! My actual server was one of the best ever! Kudos to Seagrass!

SeaGrass does not take reservations. It is a BYOB. Last evening, we dined here early, arriving…read morearound 5 pm when the place was only about 1/4 full. It filled up during the next hour which created a NOISY ambiance. By the time we left (around 615 pm), there were more than 15 people waiting for tables. Lauren was our server. OK, nothing special. We started sharing a special melon salad that was tasty. For entrees, we had Asian Sea Bass $29 from regular menu and a Snapper special $38. Both were very good. So, SeaGrass is good for Ocean Grove where there are few dining options, but not great (not worth going out of your way to dine here).

We got a few different kinds of drinks some including margarita's and one was a kiwi flavor drink. I think it was awesome that they gave us the option for different kind of salted rims. They're mostly known for their shared plate concepts so we got several items and split everything. We got the tostadas which was an interesting plate of a couple different things, the nachos which I loved, the ceviche which was ok-not your typical ceviche and bit too spicy for me, the salad which I really liked, camerones which the table liked, the pork tacos which I heard were very spicy, the chicken tacos which were good and the steak which was hands down my favorite and the yuca mash was so yummy and different. For the steak, you can only get it medium rare or well done which I is 2 complete ends of the spectrum. We are medium people, so we ended up getting a medium rare. It was definitely a lot of food, but it's a good amount for all of us and it was a nice way to try the menu. I definitely will be back.
