I went in around noon on a weekday and they were pretty busy! They had multiple customers dining in and waiting for to-go orders. I was seated quickly and ordered some fresh sushi menu items. Everything tasted great and was made to order. I will definitely be back! read more

Sushi Takara - Plate menu - Japanese Near Me - Salem, Oregon

I've been going to this location for the last ten years and it's certainly a spot not to be missed. Located in a problematic part of East Salem (sorry not sorry, I live in the neighborhood), you walk in and are greeted with booths, a bar, and a delightful conveyor belt with different choices of sushi, salads, and desserts. I absolutely love the options they have; my favorite is the salmon nigiri as well as the sweet tempura shrimp roll. The ambience is calm and cultural, they have Japanese favorites like Ramune and "Rooster sauce". The staff is so friendly and are ready to assist in any way possible. If you don't see what you want on the belt, they'll make it for you, all you have to do is ask. I recommend this place if you want some quality sushi in a hurry. I go for an appetizer before having dinner at home, sometimes I'll go just for dinner and treat myself. It's a really great place to dine. A true gem in the Valley. read more

Sushi Takara - I love the conveyer belt feature, so urban :) - Japanese Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Stopped in for a quick bite while in the area. Service was friendly and attentive. There was not a great variety on the belt and everything was covered in sauce, which doesn't work for my diet, but we were the only ones in there which explains why they weren't adding more options. We ordered mostly from the menu which worked well. However, most of the fish came out frozen. If I would have know it was frozen, I would have ordered something else instead that was ready to eat. read more

Their food is great. But I had my sibling go in today and we ordered a lot of food and asked for 10 spicy mayos and the lady told them we'll give you 3 we can't do 10. And that's perfectly fine but the attitude she said it with and the fact she kept repeating it was rude & uncalled for. They're very stingy we stopped coming here because the way they behave when they serve you and how they seem bothered when you try to order more food, it was random and on the way to where we were going which is why we ordered our food today from here. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed but the customer service is just horrible. Never again. read more

Sushi is edible, however, my delivery order was missing wasabi, a receipt and an order of hamachi nigiri, which I was charged for. Who eats sushi without wasabi? Double check your orders and ask for wasabi, don't expect it. Arrgh. read more

Sushi Takara - Everything I ordered minus an extra hamachi nigiri and the wasabi. - Japanese Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Great small sushi spot to visit when you can't decide on what to eat. Seating availability is fairly open, options seem endless, and prices are very reasonable. Sushi rice is soft and moist, ingredients are always fresh, and miso soup is warm and tasteful. read more

Love the food here and the prices are great. There was a lip mark on my glass before though, but they do provide straws so I just use those now (that's why no 5 stars). Sushi orders always come fast and are hot and delicious. read more

The nastiest sushi I have ever eaten in my life. Every sushi had a strange taste, like the rice was standing in old water. Just terrible, and I am not picky and was very hungry at the moment (would have ate anything). On top if that, inside was 90 degrees and all the sushi was WARM. I'll be happy if I don't get food poisoning at this point. read more

Came in and it was slow. No sushi trays for the wasabi and soy sauce is what they told us after giving us a few for a party of six. They said it was in the dishwasher- ok, so give me something else to use. A bowl? A small plate- and then he comes back with other dishes after saying he didn't have anything and just drops it in front of us. Get help if you don't have enough people to help customers. This is ridiculous and probably my last time to come here. The other guy can make you feel comfortable and okay with the lack of service with simply a smile and willing to help with what you need. That is why I gave them 2 stars instead of one. I'd rather go to a teriyaki place that serves sushi. Go to Kyoto, Nagoya Steakhouse, Mimoji, and even Sushi Kyo- really disappointed to the point that I lost my appetite. Update: we left after more rude service tonight! As my wife was placing an order, the waiter just walked off as she was telling him the order. This is after he said he had no sushi plates and stated - "Can't you see?" He came back with small saucers and just dropped them on the table in front of my wife. After he walked away, and seeing my wife's reaction (she is normally composed but she was just amazed at how we she was being treated) - I Asked him if he had a problem of serving us as he continued to be rude. He tried to make excuses as we asked for the bill. We paid and just wanted to get out of there and he continued with his excuses. We ended up at Outback welcomed and greeted with great service! We will not be back. read more

Nice small place to go to for a quick meal I recommend the Salem Roll and the Chicken Teriyaki Bowl with extra avocado!! read more

My brother sometimes get me lunch and I love the salmon nigiri. Their portions of fish is actually pretty big to my surprise! I also got their seared salmon and that was good as well. I also ordered a volcano roll, but I swear it was like a shrimp tempura with tuna I believe? Maybe it was wrong order haha but the roll wasnt bad. They do drown to rolls in sauce so its that type of sushi place. For something cheap and quick, I think this is pretty good in my book. They not skimpy with the fish! read more

Seriously yummy food. I took a few plates from the go around. They were perfectly acceptable and delicious, but I ordered a few rolls and pieces not normally on the conveyor and the were brilliant. Generously sized and very fresh and flavorful. Absolutely will be back. read more

Came with a friend for a celebration and we loved all of the sushi we got. Our favorites were the Salem roll, golden shrimp roll, and the Lancaster roll. She got a bento box and everything was cooked perfectly. read more

Sushi Takara - Golden shrimp roll, Lancaster roll - Japanese Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Great convienent location. They have a conveyer belt so you can dine in or if your always on a go like me you can get some to go. They usually have the same sushi selection each day but the selection is decent and so are the prices. Like most spots like this, you can always order something off the menu if what's on the belt isn't what you want. The people here are always friendly and happy to see customers. This is my go to sushi spot in salem so I highly recommend it! read more

This place is nasty. Avoid this place. We were in town wanting sushi. Unfortunately, the original place we wanted to go to was closed. The next place had a 40 min wait. So we ending up here due to it being the only place near by open. The sushi rice was super mushy and old tasting. The covers for the sushi was so gross, you couldn't even tell what sushi was in the dish. I've never had such horrible sushi before. Only thing I liked was the cheesecake and that's cause it was from an outside place. read more

Found this little gem when I was looking around Salem for a quick dinner. I was not disappointed at all. The sushi was very fresh, had the Philly roll & the salmon was so tender. I found my new sushi go to place. read more

Pros: very cheap, quick and decent service Cons: not very good quality, could not see through the tops of the containers at all so couldn't see what you were getting unless you lift the top off which you're not supposed to do. Also there was too much rice vs fish and it was overly sticky for some reason. read more

We love the sushi go round! Sometimes you aren't sure what you are in the mood for, until it comes around the bend. We have eaten in several times and gotten to go. The staff are always very friendly and fill orders quickly for items currently not on the belt. read more

The sushi is....ok. I don't think I would ever come here again unless I was extremely desperate for sushi and everything else was closed. The fish on top of my rainbow roll wasn't the usual melt-in-your-mouth quality. It kinda grossed me out having to gnaw through yellowtail. It's also really expensive for the quality and quantity. We paid a little over $20 for two small rolls. Just go somewhere else. read more

Coming from Hawaii, fish is not great quality, but they make up for it in portions, authenticity, price and creativity with menu. Would recommend to a friend for sure, and love that the man making sushi speaks Japanese with the other coworkers. Very spacious seating and good lighting. Could be better customer service, you seat yourself and no complimentary green tea upon entry. Also no typical Japanese welcome as in authentic Japanese restaurants. Happy hour is the best! Lots or parking, easy to find, close to my house . Great selection for happy hour. read more

Well the entire experience sucked. Terrible customer, fish was not too fresh. Like not at all. I was upset with the first hair in my sushi but the second hair pushed it over the edge. Yuck yuck. Oh wait kudos to the sink in the bathroom. read more

Sushi Takara - Japanese Near Me - Salem, Oregon

If i could give 0 stars i would. Worst service I've ever received. Took 15 minutes before a server even came to see us, and that was only because i waved her down. I would have understood if they were busy but we were 1 of maybe 3 groups. And then we had to wait another 10 minutes to remind them to bring us water. JUST WATER. They forgot every one of our orders so we had to remind them for every time. Don't forget we had no chopsticks or dipping sauce bowls, so we couldn't even eat off the conveyer belt. Worst service I've ever had. I would never recommend this place to anyone. read more

I have been here a couple times now, three total to give this sushi a fair chance and everytime I have came to eat, I'm not impressed with the food nor the service. They have a very limited selection on the belt, only two or three rolls to choose from. While you can order any roll you'd like, they are slow and just to wave someone down is a chore. One other thing I don't like, which is. A personal preference of mine is how large the roll cuts are. They are not bite size and you basically have to choke yourself to chew one slice of the roll because it's so huge read more

My favorite sushi in salem till now. Cheap,tasty and lots of items to choose from. They have a sushi belt if you want to try things out first a few rolls. But if you want to get the full order you can do that too! Ive gone in the afternoons it gets a little busy after 6 and theres only one person serving/bussing and taking drink orders. So be patient. But if youre really hungry you could just get something from the sushi belt right away. Did i mention happy hour all day so red plates 1.50 and the rest 1.85 i think. No alcohol but still good food :) lancaster and asparagus roll my fav udon soup is so tasty too and for a little less than 9 dlls you get a Huge plate. Mochi is good too even though they ran out of flavors sometimes. It has a few kinks but its very convenient. read more

Service was slow and food was awful. The tempura sushi was soggy, some of the sushi was fishy, and they put way too much rice. I mean you get what you paid for ( $1.85/per plate). read more

Woonderfully friendly good looking food and taste great. Servers and the gentleman making the sushi right in front of you are very helpful and friendly and take good care of their craft read more

I really want to come here and see this place packed, I've been here three times and every time, the place is dead. It kills me, not because I'm a masochist, who loves waiting for a table, but because the food here is excellent. This sushi is as fresh as it gets. The prices here are amazing, they've got a happy hour running pretty much all day from what I gather, every thing on their conveyor belt is $1.85 or less. Even without their extended hours "happy hour", this place still has great prices, though I've never seen them on my bill. I always leave this place stuffed and happy, without spending more than $20 for me and my girlfriend to eat a meal. read more

Wow! What a great place with great sushi and great prices! It was clean and bright and the employees were very friendly. The waitress told us that everything except green plates were a $1.85, with the greens being a bit less. The portions were good and everything tasted delicious. Definitely a good sushi track restaurant in Salem and we will definitely be back! read more

Customer service makes all the difference ( hence the 4th star) and this upbeat host is what makes me want to return. Seeing customers return and the host making them feel welcome puts this rotary sushi joint on top of the list in Salem. The Sushi in my opinion is better than the other belts. Atmosphere is cozy, hip, and my kids can reach the belt. Happy Hour special is great! Definitely try them out! read more

First time here, the place looked awesome inside. Besides that it was kinda a let down with the service. It was around dinner time (on a Friday night) and they only had one server on the floor and doing the cash register. She didn't look too happy but I could understand if I was out there on the floor being slammed with guest coming in for dinner all by myself. For a conveyer belt, style sushi place the food was alright. There was a little too much rice on the sushi, especially the nigri which made me full too quick. The fried calamari was half the quantity that you usually get vs other conveyer belt style sushi places. Food tasted not as fresh compared to other places of this nature as well. This place isn't considered new anymore, but still seems to have quite a few hiccups to work out. I'll come back in a few months and see if they have worked out all the kinks. I used to work at a sushi restaurant with different standards so my views on this could be a little skewed. None the less, this was my personal view on the place as a guest. Keep improving guys! You got this! read more

They have a special going on now because they want to create some business - Happy Hour is now ALL DAY!! No plate more than $1.85! The selection on the belt can be sparse only because they need more people to come in and they don't want to waste food. TIP: you can ask them to make you any of the plates listed FRESH!! There you go!! My hubby and I went there for our anniversary and both had bento boxes that were huuuugemongus! We also took a couple of plates from the belt...soo yummy! We'll be back for sure!! come and check this place out!! *I gave 4 stars only because I used to live in Vegas and the sushi there was the best in the world!!* read more

We stopped in for dinner on our way north to Vancouver. Excellent sushi and very affordable! They had a nice variety of rolls with lots of flavor. $1.50-1.85 a plate, our bill was $17 and we left with full bellies. They are tucked back in a shopping center so we're fun to find, but close enough to I-5 to stop if your driving thru! read more

Excellent sushi go round! Friendly & helpful wait staff. Quick kitchen items. Waitress said we could customize anything on the menu or they'd make what every you wanted if they had the ingredients. We will defanity be back. read more

Been here a few times, & one of the only decent places to get sushi in this area (the other being Woodburn's Sora Sushi). It gets my sushi cravings fulfilled, & that's what matters. Happy Hour all day is another plus. read more

Sushi Takara - Conveyor belt sushi! - Japanese Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Came with my wife and daughter. My daughter loves sesame seed balls. These didn't disappoint. She gets the same thing at sushi kyo. These were fresher, and were full of the sweet red bean paste. Her habit is to not let a single sesame seed escape her clutches. We like pickled cucumber. I prefer it on the tart side. These are on the sweet side. But I could taste the sesame seeds they used . . . Which made them very enjoyable. The conveyor belt makes for a quick meal and inexpensive given their happy hour prices throughout the whole day. But they have specialty rolls that are prepared as whole rolls and not on the happy hour menu. Haven't tried this yet. We ordered tempura shrimp. Freshly battered and cooked crisp and perfect (not over cooked or chewy). Delicious. However they didn't have tempura sauce. I asked for some and was informed it would take 15 minutes to make. It isn't traditional but I dipped my tempura in some soy. We ordered the miso soup. Strong dashi taste which I prefer. Seaweed and a few small squares of soft tofu added to my joy. A few other random plates: calamari, cucumber rolls, California rolls. The establishment was clean. High booths (I'm short. My feet didn't touch the ground when I was sitting), firm cushions. Bar seating that could probably seat 12. Half though would not be facing the sushi chefs. We'll come back. I think I'll try the spider roll. read more

This place is legit, my first ever conveyor belt sushi experience! Pros: -Super cheap lunch special which pretty much runs all day. -Variety of sushi, allows you to try new things. -Don't have to commit to a whole roll as portions are 3-4 pieces per platter -Can order anything on menu if it's not on conveyor belt for lunch special price. -Have other things like pot stickers on the conveyor belt. Cons: -How do they know how long the sushi has been on the belt for...seriously there is no way to track it....I've asked! LOL -They do a lot of imitation crab meat as their "filler". -There Salem roll is not very impressive. read more

It was alright. Not the best and not the worst sushi I've ever had. I'd come here again just because it was so inexpensive.

Really gross place, so dirty and got food poisoning. If I could give it 0 stars I would

ALL tables dirty and no place to eat, this is the second time this has happened. Only has 1 person for waitress/cashier/table cleaner/ect...
