We ordered spring roll appetizer ( 5 rolls), giant maki roll ( 8 pieces), bowl of bi bim bop and green tea for the table, which came in a French press. Waiter also brought complimentary starter: 2 small bowls of miso soup, 2 chicken dumplings, marinated sprouts and glass noodles. Place is nice and quiet. Order came fast. Evening we ate tasted perfect, portions very generous, sushi very fresh. Excellent service too. read more

Wonderful restaurant! Stopped by here with my family for my birthday dinner and was met with super friendly service and delicious food! We got a little, free appetizer of teriyaki potatoes, bean sprouts, and sweet potato noodles which was a pleasant surprise. Each of my party's meals were flavorful and plentiful. Definitely recommend!! read more

Very generous portion, reasonable prices, and super tasty. I'm usually wary of eating out because dishes are often too oily, but the bibimbap was so healthy: steam rice and lots and lots of fresh veggies. The owner is Korean, so understandably, the bibimbap tasted wonderful - and this is coming from a frequent diner at K-town in New York for years. I got my takeout order in 5 minutes. Ta-ke made my day in Saint John. read more

Ta-Ke Sushi - Bibimbap with side dishes - Sushi Bars Near Me - Saint John, New Brunswick

Came into town for Irving Oil, across my hotel was this humble looking sushi place - I ofcourse couldn't resist and walked. It was about half filled up with people here on a Saturday evening, so I seated myself and my colleague right away. The host was kind and incredibly knowledgable about the dishes, the drinks and most importantly the fish. He gave us suggestions and they were very well received. I had the Nabe Soba and asked to leave out the seafood, he offered me extra chicken to compensate. The broth was very delectable and I gulped down the whole bowl with ease. I also ordered some salmon sushi and it was incredibly lean with a wholesome flavor. It was caught yesterday in a nearby sea farm and it was explained to us in detail about how these are caught. The rolls were beautifully made and had a great flavor. I always have a prejudice towards Japanese rastaurants and it starts with good Miso soup. If the soup's good, the rest follows. The Miso soup was excellent. Recommended place to drop by if you're in town. read more

I don't get around that good anymore but had a craving for some sashimi and decided to order takeout This was my first taste of sashimi and sushi from Ta-Ke and it was excellent. I have had sashimi in many cities in the States but this ranked up with any of them. We live an hour out of town so don't visit often but I will be sure that I renew my order on our next trip. Thank you Ta-Ke for taking care of my craving in such a delicious way. read more

I happened to stop in town for work. I was touring around in the area and felt hungry. Saw this place and got lazy to search for more option so I went in. By the time I walked in for lunch. There were no one. I had a bad feeling. Oh well. I sat down and had a chirashi don. gosh.... made 2 mistakes in a row. First is walking into a restaurant with no one in it and second is ordered this meal. They put the chirashi don on a plate!!!! Rice on side with 3 pcs of sashimi on top and the rest of the sashimi on side on a bed of daikon. The fish is not specially fresh which is bad when the city is so close to the water. I ended up eating half the ate and left. Lesson learned!!! read more

Loved it! Had a nice visit in Saint John and had some delicious sushi. We got the specialty roll with huge chunk of tuna and salmon inside. Don't really remember the name but I'm sure you can ask the waitress. we order two rolls and a bibimbap. No complaints here :) pictures will be attached, I'm sure the waitress or waiter's can identify them. read more

Ta-Ke Sushi - Delicious!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Saint John, New Brunswick

3.75 out of 5! I'll round it off to 4/5 because I talked to the manager and he was a nice guy! On the night I visited I ordered a bibimbap (didn't come in a stone pot) plus a vegetable tempura. Bibimbap had too many onions but otherwise had some good flavour and was a bit on the smaller size but not bad for the price! Tempura was really good nice and crispy and came with three nice sized shrimp with assorted vegetables and copious tempura sauce for dipping. Good quality meal in a friendly restaurant! read more

The owner is super nice! We got a sushi platter with a side of seaweed salad. They also gave us a free side of bean thread noodles with bean sprouts. It was a fun fusion of Japanese and Korean cuisines. Would recommend! read more

The food was amazing and the owners were so welcoming to my son and I. He said he'd make something special for JJ if he came back after JJ had ordered seconds. Everything was fresh and full of flavour. Definitely a highlight of our time in St. John's and we'll be back! read more

The wait for the food was incredibly long. Perhaps the worst service I've received in a long time. The waitress struggled to remember our orders. Many mistakes were made. Three times I had to order a glass of Diet Pepsi before it finally came to the table correctly. Twice someone at our table ordered soda water and when the waitress asked if it was cream soda or 'like Perrier' we responded Perrier. She arrived with cream soda then said she didn't have Perrier. When leaving, there was the Perrier in the kitchen. The cleanliness of this Resturante leaves much to be desired. The bathroom is disgusting and patrons must pass through part of the kitchen/prep area to use it. Not ideal. I required a copy of my receipt but the waitress lost my copy between entering the sale into the debit machine and me entering my pin. How is that even possible? She had no idea on how to reprint. While the sushi was ok, it was hardly worth the wait. The resturante was severely under staffed for a Friday evening. Will not be back. read more

really good sushi. And I'm from the West coast so I know sushi. The service was good and the chef himself came out when we ordered some sashimi to tell us what he had available and ask what our favorites were. It was delicious. read more

Ordered the Bulgogi Beef, Very Pleasant Staff, Fast Service, Very generous portions. Authentic Korean owned family. Would definitely go back. read more

Had high hopes reading the reviews here, but was really let down. Service was inattentive and took forever to order. Calif rolls smelled fishy and not fresh. The ( farmed) salmon was still frozen in the middle. The ebi I spit out because it was mushy and tasted like it had gone off. Overpriced, bad service and the food was off. Not good. read more

Had the take udon for dinner. Very good. Great flavour. The portion was quite large. Service was fast. Not the most spectacular place but I will take good food over atmosphere any day. read more

Ta-Ke Sushi - Take Idon - Sushi Bars Near Me - Saint John, New Brunswick

I usually order the lunch special. It only costs around $11 and comes with more than enough for a hungry person. I've never finished mine in one sitting! It is your basic california and tuna roll sushi, a few pieces of sashimi, tempura vegetables, and miso soup. Always fresh and delicious every time I'm in. read more

We were visiting from out of town and wanted to grab something small for dinner. When we arrived at the restaurant, however, I couldn't resist ordering one of their Korean dishes. My Jjampong noodle soup (spicy Korean seafood noodle soup) had such a huge flavor as it came with lots of vegetables and seafood. All the dishes we ordered came out quickly, the service was great and the owners were very friendly. I would have dined here everyday if we were staying in St. John longer than just a day! read more

Decent Korean food for Saint John but the quality of the seafood in the soon tofu was questionable as it had a very strong fishy taste.

My husband and I eat here frequently, we enjoy the fast service and exceptional quality of sushi! It's a great atmosphere and the owners are very personable! Love Ta-ke! The price is totally worth it and you get lots of value for your money. We love their Brave Seafood and Ungi sushi rolls. They are amazing. And often times will give us an extra roll just because! read more

YUM!!! Authentic Korean & Japanese food made fresh for you! Love love love! The owners are SO nice!!! The Tang See Ook is delish!!! Definitely order!!! The Bul Gogi is also delish!! The special California roll with Tuna on top was sublime. Go! Do not hesitate!!! read more

Stumbled upon this wonderful restaurant while walking around the town. What a pleasant surprise this place was! All of our food choices were excellent especially the teriyaki chicken dishes. Staff was very nice and overall we had an excellent experience! Highly recommend this place! read more

Some of the best sushi I have ever had! So fresh and so tasty! Didn't even want to use soy sauce as the flavours were amazing.

Take sushi is a cozy place with some good sushi. Their lunch menu nigiri lunchbox has really good value and I'd definitely recommend trying that out! Regarding the Korean dishes, pretty standard selection and delicious. Service was prompt and friendly. Overall good experience, will come back! read more

My husband and I had a wonderful anniversary lunch. We each ordered a large platter. His had sushi and rolls and mine was sashimi. I loved every bite. Great selection of salmon, salmon belly, tuna, mackerel and more. So fresh and delicious! We have been here many times and have never been disappointed. The chef and the waitress are usually the same and I get the impression they are the owners. Lovely people. The chef came to talk to us and tell us what everything was. He also asked about our faves. Outstanding service! read more

Was in St John on biz and did the neighbor hood walk around reading menus on the window. Most places are chicken wing/nachos with 100 micro brews in cool old buildings but ran into Ta-ke. Vancouver sushi snob so thought give anything a try. Sorry New Brunswick but had lots of bad Canadian food on my first trip like breakfast in expensive restaurants so had low expectations. Ta-ke run by an older Korean ? guy but was good quality and presentation and reasonably priced. I told him when I left need to have local product. Next to the Atlantic ocean and nothing local. One week in New Brunswick, drove 1500 km and bad local restaurants. Have all the best talent in the Maritimes moved west? Good local product and low leases? Next time in St J its my go2 restaurant read more
