My favorite spot to grab lunch from during work! It's such a hidden gem on Hamburg Turnpike that offers such fresh and unique dishes. They have sooo many special rolls to choose from and I've loved every single one I've tried so far. My current favorite is their popeye roll which is stuffed with lobster! The service is always phenomenal, the servers are very sweet and attentive. The one waitress helped me decide on an appetizer, her recommendation was their Salmon Sakura and it was sooo delicious! Truly a great spot for a chill night out or grabbing take out for lunch! read more

We had such a good dinner at Taka Japanese Sushi in Wayne. It's BYOB, which already makes it a win, and the vibe inside is super relaxed and cozy. it's perfect for a chill night out. The sushi was so fresh. We tried a few of their special rolls and loved every single one. Super flavorful without being heavy. The chicken teriyaki was also a surprise favorite... it was tender, flavorful, and not overly saucy like some places make it. Honestly just a solid spot all around! Great food, nice atmosphere, and the kind of place we'll definitely come back to!! Service was so good! read more

Taka (and Annie) is our 'go-to' sushi place. The fish is always fresh, but there are many other excellent dishes... udon/soba noodles and soup, etc. We've been coming to Taka since we moved into the area 30 years ago. With that kind of longevity, you know she has to be doing something right. We usually would get a couple of ISO rolls, or the Salmon Lover roll... seaweed salad, etc... always nice and fresh. Recently we tried the Sushi and Sashimi for 2 (#72) and while maybe a little expensive, there is a LOT of fish to be had. I'm thinking we'll be trying this dish again. If you're in the area... this is a great place for sushi, etc. and it's a BYO! read more

Not closed, moved to new location just up the road at 1162 Hamburg Turnpike, Wayne. Fantastic as always in a new and improved location!

I wanted to give this place a try for a quick lunch. I ordered the yaki udon. When I arrived I parked in the plaza lot. I walked in and the food wasn't quite done so I paid while I waited. When it arrived I left. When I dug in the udon was very good. I enjoyed the flavor and the cut-up chicken. It was all in all a good experience and I would return. read more

So good! Taka is easily my favorite sushi restaurant in North Jersey. This place has not changed at all in the last 25 years, and the quality of the food has stayed just as great. The list of specialty rolls is massive, like four pages long, so there really is something for everyone. My personal favorites are the ISO roll and White Angel roll. They also offer oysters and even some Chinese food options. The staff is extremely nice and accommodating, especially the owner, Annie. Great for takeout, too! read more

I first went to Taka when I worked at the Brownstone about 20 years ago and I would go pickup sushi for when people chose it for their parties. This is the only menu item that the Brownstone didn't make themselves, but that's another review. Taka has the best sushi around. It's mine and my wife's favorite. You used to be able to go there and eat in. We would go for their lunch special which comes with a delicious soup and salad. The service was always good. The sushi is freshly prepared using good ingredients and the prices are very reasonable. I've never had a bad experience or been disappointed with that food here. They are currently open for pickup/takeout and have 2 tables available for outside dining. If your looking for the best sushi and or authentic Japanese food, look no further. read more

Taka Japanese Restaurant - Tuna, spicy tuna, salmon and California rolls. - Japanese Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

Stayed in the area for a business trip and was looking for a quick dinner after getting into town. Taka was in a convenient location close to hotel. Expecting a quick dinner, and that's far from what I got. Upon arrival was quickly greeted but did not get sat. Host later came back and asked which order was mine, obviously not there for take out. Was then sat, server brought menu and drinks promptly but then I sat and waited for 15 minutes to place my order. Server took was friendly, took my order and then came back five minutes later and asked me what I ordered. Yikes. Received my appetizer of shumai and my sushi order all at the same time. I will say that due my frustration at this point it seemed like the food took long, but it was probably a reasonable amount of time. Food was good but small rolls, well made with a nice presentation. Finished my food and they cleared the table and again waited to receive my check. It it wasn't for the excessive waiting I would have given a better rating. I'd recommend this place for take out unless you have excess time to wait within the restaurant. read more

I would give this restaurant 10 stars if I could. Upon walking in, I was greeted by the waitress and was seated very quickly. I had a party of 4 so we sat at the booths. There was a wide variety of options to choose from which is great because that means there is something for everyone; sushi lovers or not. When ordering, the waitress was helping me pick out which rolls to get because I don't enjoy eating raw sushi. She suggested the dancing shrimp roll, and the snow white roll. I also got the chicken teriyaki. We got complimentary cucumber salad and fruits. All of which were immaculate. I will definitely be returning soon. read more

Consistently delicious Japanese food at Taka! This restaurant is our go-to neighborhood Japanese spot in Wayne, NJ. Annie, the manager at Taka, is always around and is very kind and professional. She makes awesome recommendations... seriously had some of the best quality, generously portioned, and reasonably priced fatty tuna! The specials on the menu are always changing and Taka makes an effort to offer the freshest ingredients with a twist, sometimes incorporating fruits and unique sauces into their dishes. Although already well-priced, Taka also has some great lunch special deals that are worth taking advantage of! They don't compromise quality or portions for price. Taka offers BYOB! I have brought my own wine on numerous occasions and the server is more than happy to cork the bottle (free of charge), ice it and serve it throughout our meal. Best sushi in Wayne! Love the staff and food. Highly recommend! read more

Taka Japanese Restaurant - Take-out order including kani salad, pepper tuna, yellowtail jalapeno, Black Angel roll, Hot Mama roll, Cali rolls, Spicy salmon roll, etc - Japanese Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

So I ordered sushi online from this place, expecting to go in, pay for it, and walk out with my sushi. Nope. Apparently I had ordered it "wrong" and selected "hand roll" and not "roll". When I explained to the waitress that the website only had the option for hand roll, she began to literally mansplain the difference between a hand roll and a roll. Even the sushi chefs were giving me weird looks. I then got my sushi and was shooed out the door with the waitress, going "bye, bye!" and waving me out. Sushi was okay. But the service made me uncomfortable and not wanting to go back. read more

We love Taka. It's local, the food is fresh, and you can't lose dining in or taking food out.

Taka is our favorite sushi restaurant. Annie, the owner, is a delight. She orders our rolls for us, and she takes incredible pride in the quality of her food and overall business. We love going to Taka because it is truly a treat! read more

Went in with high expectations and was disappointed. Walked in and thought that the restaurant was closed because literally no one was there... The interior design is very old and needs to be updated ASAP cause it looks pretty dusty. The waitress was nice at first but then was pretty rude, she was on the phone while she attended us and we didn't know if she was talking to us or the person on her headphones. She pushed us to order an appetizer, the spicy tuna dumpling, and it was good but we didn't like how brute she was when she came to split the food between us 3 like if we were children while talking on the phone. I ordered the Taka House Roll, my mom ordered the salmon teriyaki plate and my sister order the ISO roll. My mom's salad was definitely not fresh and looked like it was in the fridge for a week. Our sushi seemed fresh and it came out on the plate looking nice, between our appetizer and sushi it filled us up. The ISO roll was definitely the better of the two rolls. We took some sushi and salmon home and I tried to eat it the next day and it was pretty bad and stale, so I do not recommend taking any of their food home. read more

Make sure you look for another sushi restaurant. I asked the waitress why she doesn't give me regular plates like the other people dining in? And she told me that only special customers have the privilege to eat with ceramic plates. read more

Placed an order for pick up. The lady on phone said come in 40min. Walked in 35 minutes thinking to wait. Same lady says it's not ready need 15 minutes. Came back 10 minutes figuring Ill wait remainder 5 min. While there, all the patrons sitting where waiting and looked starved because service so slow. Overall it took hour and fifteen minutes for phone a order. We have a 2 and 3 year old at parents for me. Be honest and upfront that your understaffed or over booked. read more

Called an order for pickup. I was told on that phone that it would take 15-20 minutes. Since they are notorious for running late I showed up 30 minutes later after initially calling thinking it would be ready by then. It wasn't. I then waited another 15 minutes in the restaurant for my food. They seem to have no sense of urgency or hustle here. Very frustrating and I'll be ordering from elsewhere. read more

Let start with the wait! my fiancé and I went to try this place because of our love for sushi. Upon arrival we were seated right away but we waited at least 15-30 minutes before a waitress came and took our order. While waiting for our food to arrive we noticed that the tables were sticky and dirty and the utensils and cups of water were very dirty. If I had to rate the sushi I would give it a 6. In terms of cleanliness I would give it a 1. read more

The food is fine here, but it's the behavior of a certain waitress that's baffling. She never acknowledges me or greets me, yet finds her voice when someone comes in behind me. Alongside this, she'll leave the receipt on the counter and walk away, though I've seen her say thank you and goodbye to other customers. Very weird. Despite the rudeness and items being left out of my order, routinely, I've left her tips. Probably for fear of being judged as a bad tipper. I'll remedy this by never giving this restaurant my business again. read more

We love Annie!! The sushi is always fresh & amazing!! The salad dressing is homemade and our absolutely favorite!! Def check this spot out! They have hibachi too! read more

Heard some good things about it here so we gave it a try on this stormy night! It's a basic store front type restaurant that it byob. It was cozy. The severs were friendly and asked us if it was our first time there and how we heard about them which most places don't bother to ask so that was a good start. I also love the warm towels they give you to clean your hands. We started with the miso soup which was great. Not too salty and great amount of tofu. We shared the spicy Kani salad. It was ok not great. A little lacking in flavor.i don't think we would get it again. Our rolls were very good. The only one we didn't care for was the spicy tuna, again a bit bland. We had a Wayne roll which was delicious and a Boston roll and the sweet potato roll which were very good. I would certainly get those three again. My only pet peeve was that we asked for seltzer and they gave it to us in warm cans, that was a little tacky. All in all its a good choice locally for some fresh, reasonably priced sushi. It is somewhere I would try again for lunch read more

Amazing sushi spot in wayne. The fish is always fresh and the staff is very friendly. I would specifically recommend the ocean roll, toro special roll, butterfly roll and Fancy yellowtail roll but honestly all their rolls are great. read more

When I walked in today to pickup my order none of the employees were wearing face covering, despite the fact that I couldn't walk-in without wearing face mask. One of the person saw my reaction and put her face mask hanging on ear, and gave me my order and only then I noticed nobody in sushi bar preparing order was wearing face coverings either. It was too late to get my money back, so enjoy them. read more

Taka sushi is a gem. Super fresh super delicious and cozy atmosphere. Was there last night for the first time for dinner and everything was delicious. It was a quiet night and it was so nice to basically have the place to ourselves. Of note: the jazz music was on point it was the first thing my husband complimented. The kumoto oysters are to die for. I had the sashimi appetizer. scallop roll and yellow tail roll, my daughter ordered salmon sushi and salmon cucumber roll and my husband had the salmon teriyaki. Everything was perfect. Excellent sushi spot. Will return. read more
