Wow, what a great dinner. Spoke to the owner before hand about my previous visit and make a few minor adjustments about sauce amounts. What a hit!! My family's late xmas party was so good 10/10. We had apps, sushi, habachi, scorpion bowls and everything was great. Even the actual room was warmer today. My family loved everything and wants to make this a new tradition every year. So good. Thank you for making our holiday party complete and great. read more

This is a hard review to write because I've met one of the owners and I know she has a lot invested and is trying hard to make this restaurant a success. Unfortunately while the food can be very good (hot and sour soup, dumplings, egg rolls, moo shi, kung pao chicken, ... ) there is an absence of good management practices that makes this restaurant very hit or miss. We've visited this location six or seven times because it's local and we had such a good time during our first visit. But with every successive visit we've encountered some type of problem ranging from communication issues with the staff that prevented us from getting the food we ordered or sauces we wanted to more troubling digestive issues later that evening. Our last visit was a lunch on a chilly Monday afternoon. When we walked in the staff was wearing coats and it was obvious from the temperature in the restaurant (low 60s) that we wouldn't be taking ours off either. We sat at the bar and ordered some of our favorites and while the food came out hot it was served on stone cold ceramic plates. Even the soup spoon that came with the hot and sour soup was stone cold! Needless to say the food cooled quickly and it made for a very disappointing meal. As I reflect on my own experiences and read through the other reviews it's clear that TAKA needs to take a look at the strength of its management team. Clearly judgment, focus, and team discipline need to be improved if they are to have any possibility of success. read more

Very expensive for what you get. We are used to much much better Teppanyaki at this price point.

1st and last time here, no one was here eating , and I still haven't gotten service until I almost walk out, food came first by the time I finish the drink came after, really bad managing and food price is way overpriced and food quality is not there. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT HERE don't waste your time here read more

I wanted to like this restaurant, I really did. We should have walked out when we stood there for several minutes waiting - no one was at the front desk. We weren't there at some weird time either, it was dinner. I will start out with the good. The menus are lighted. Silly, I know, but it was a fun surprise when you first open them up. Then it went downhill. Food is ok - and that's the best I can say about it. My husband like the sushi, but the rest of the group got Chinese food or Thai and it was meh. I ordered a SUPER mild Thai curry. When it came it was SOOOO spicy - I could tell by just looking at it - there was that slick of red hot oil coating everything. AND there was a ton of cabbage in it. I have never had a curry that was 80% cabbage and had little to no sauce - ick. I asked them to take it away - and the waitress asked if I wanted another one - milder. Since I ordered it as mild as they could make it, I took a pass. Was a lot of money for the quality and service. We shan't be back. read more

Overall great place, decent food and reasonably priced. You're greeted with menus that light up. Pretty wild. Faucets in the bathrooms light up too. On to the food though.. sushi is good, larger variety than most lunch specials. Crab Rangoon's were great, We're excited this finally opened up in The Point and will be bringing our kids soon to try the hibachi. I'm sure they'll get a kick out it.. light up menus and all. read more

BORING. This place is expensive and flavorless. We shared appetizers, mai tais, and I got the salmon teriyaki. The crab rangoons were good, the mai tai was strong but full of ice, and when I asked for extra teriyaki sauce for my salmon (since it was so flavorless), when I poured it on it added literally ZERO more flavor. I don't even understand how the teriyaki sauce was so flat, bland, tasteless. The boneless ribs had NO boneless rib flavor -- no sweetness, not sauce-flavor; it was like eating plain meat. And not for nothing...each appetizer was at LEAST $10. I'll still go back and try the hibachi since there aren't many other ones around, but boy...I am in no way eager to get back there. read more

We've been here a few times now and are always very satisfied eating at the Habatchi! Everyone is very friendly and they have great service!! Their cocktails are great too!!! The desserts are ok but nothing to write home about. My family always has fun here!! We're going back for sure... it's a little pricey but it's a fair value!! read more

I stopped in on a Thursday about 330 pm. Absolutely no one in the place. That should have been the red flag. But I went to the bar and sat. Ordered a headhunter and no garnish just a straw. The girl who served me was not the bartender. Then the bartender comes in with pizza from Anthony's for the workers. No problem ,but every time the bartender or waitress dealt with me they had a mouthful of pizza and it was quite honestly disgusting. I tried one of there combos Egg roll Chicken fingers Beef Terri Rangoons I have to say it was Nothing special and very bland. With all the money they invested in the place you would think they would have a decent way of putting out the hot mustard and duck sauce lmfao, they put the hot mustard In a plastic mustard dispenser and a red ketchup dispenser for the duck sauce. Reminded me of the dollar store. Free advice if your in this parking lot , just a Mile away is the Bamboo. read more

Went there for lunch with my boyfriend. We ordered beef lo mein and general gaos chicken. Half the chicken in the general gaos was pink on the inside. Not only that, he had an allergic reaction and swollen lip (he's allergic to peanuts) no allergen information was online and nothing on the menu had peanuts so he assumed it was safe. Service was good but I would've gone to a mall food court for better food. read more

I had lunch at Taka today. It offers a very pleasant atmosphere and courteous staff. The food left me with a bit of a quandary. As a chef, I appreciate the effort that went into the preparation and presentation of each dish, but the typical Asian flavoring, and seasoning were pretty much nonexistant. I had both the Seafood Soup and the Hot and Sour. I suppose it's okay for the Seafood Soup to be a tad bland, but I would have expected garlic, scallions, and cilantro. When I make it, I also add soy, sesame, sirachi, and lime juice. Likewise, the Hot and Sour Soup was neither. Although the usual ingredients were all there and perfectly cut, there was no heat or other typical Asian spices. My 95 year old mother had tempura shrimp and veggies, egg rolls, chicken fingers, and fried rice. The presentation was beautiful and the rice was clearly made from scratch. There was a dark sauce for the tempura, but she was looking for salt and pepper shakers - which were not on the table. They had mustard and duck sauce in bright yellow and red mustard and ketchup squeeze bottles, but no soy sauce or chili paste. I grew up in Acton and I've noticed the community has far more Asian and Indian residents these days. If TAKA is to succeed, they better pick up their seasoning game. Having enjoyed great meals with Asian friends in San Francisco and London, I know first hand how much they love their spices - as do I. Again, they've done all the expensive and difficult things well, but if I go again, I'm going to request a tray of Asian spices and sauces on the side! read more

Went to Taka this afternoon and had the most fantastic meal. Was greeted by the hostess the second we walked in and made us feel very comfortable. Everyone loved my rather large service dog. We ordered several appetizers and several main dishes. The flavor and quality of everything was excellent! Every dish had its own unique taste and aroma. The inside of the restaurant was very nice and I have never seen menus that light up so you can read them without having to turn on one's cell phone spotlight! Outstanding! We will deffinately be back on a regular basis. Recommend you try Taka. read more

Taka - Cashew chicken lacked the breast fillets that came w udon noodle plate nor chicken breasts that came w other chicken dish - Asian Fusion Near Me - Littleton, Massachusetts

The portions were small, the drinks had no alcohol n them whatsoever and were $20.00 for a as scorpion bowl. I ordered fried rice and got white rice, I didn't order vegetables and they charged me for them anyway, I ordered a salad and it was so small it was gone in 3 bites and the only dressing they had was asome kind of orange muck stuff because that's all they had, the soup that I didn't order was full of salt and the filet minyon was cut up into tiny pieces and I think that's was just steak tips. My friend ordered chicken sewers and they weee small dried up and too salty and his pork fried rice was disgusting as were the 2 egg rolls. We didn't eat any of it and gave it back including the fruit drinks and they gave up a $75.00 bill even tho we didn't eat anything. So finally we settled inn$50.00. I would NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. There is so much salt in the food that even though I took my blood pressure medicine today I now need to go home and take another one. This food drinks and service was atrocious! I should've realized that when the place was dead empty! My bad, I'll never go there again I don't want to give any stars but it won't let me post my review unless I do so 1 star. read more

This food was great, 10/10. I had the hibachi steak and fried rice and it was life changing. the "yum yum" sauce was an amazing compliment to the dish and made it for an amazing dish. Our hibachi chef was a nice and funny server and our on an entertaining show. This place is a family favorite for mine and a definite must try. read more

Like all Chinese food in Ayer, Littleton, Groton area, it just wasn't great. Our go to Chinese food is the Lilac Blossom in Nashua and this is no where close to that quality. We wish we could find something closer, but no luck so far. read more

Food was okay, over priced. Waiter was beyond rude and expected a 10% tip an waited until she got one. I did not tip her the 10% to find out she added later when we had left. So my card was overcharged. Overall I expected more. read more

After 3 hrs of driving, we are glad that we stopped at Taka. Fresh sushi, nice hot flavorful udon noodle soup and fabulous Teppanyaki was just what we needed. Excellent service, and nice strong mai tais. Definitely will be back to try their Chinese. That's a virgin maitai my daughter was drinking! Lol read more

Ordered 2 rolls with lomain for delivery, the rolls were hardly edible but the lomain was ok. I'll stick with Karma next time.

Always friendly staff and incredible food. But I have to say the bartender tonight was beyond amazing(haven't had a bad one yet). I don't remember his name but we were in around 4:30-5:30 tonight and he was so friendly, funny and attentive with our being over the top. I have never had a bartender ask specifically if the drink was to sweet or not sweet enough. He let us know that he was keeping an eye out for our sushi. After we tipped him he came over and thanked us for being so generous (first time that had happened to me too). Highly recommend taka for their food drinks and staff! read more

This is mostly a hibachi place. I sat in the small dining room and got sushi. Although it was ok, nothing special, the sushi and sashimi platter came with "white tuna", a cheap fish I don't eat (google it). Good sushi restaurants do not serve white tuna. The service was pretty average, but the prices were high. I won't be back. read more

Amazing food ! One of our go to spots in Littleton for fresh sushi. Never disappoints

Sat inside , service was average. Got sushi rolls, steak hibachi and chicken hibachi. Expensive for 3 star food and sushi was 2 star. Can't recommend. read more

Over priced, tasteless food and unfriendly server. The place was dead too and I can see why. The menu lights up whooppeee!!! I would not waste my money here again. Very disappointing. read more

I'm not much of a review writer, however their pathetic customer service deserved to be written. Very unfriendly staff and owner. In today's times when restaurants go above and beyond to serve and create an experience, this establishment had zero value for local patrons who actually helped keep their local business up during the pandemic! It has a crude run it for money feel. Waste of time ! They can take a lesson from other local Asian cuisines around like Seoul kitchen, karma on how to service guest and have great food ! For Chinese food their flavors are subpar. read more

Got the love boat and got food poisoning! Don't recommend, over priced and not that good either.

We ordered vegetable lo mein, beef with broccoli and crab Rangoon tonight. There was hardly any beef and it had very little flavor. The lo mein was also flavorless. Rangoons had no crab but were ok. I'd stick with Japanese cuisine here. This was a take out order and we live 20 minutes away. Wasn't worth our time to drive back. read more

I've been for the hibachi, which I really enjoyed. Other than that, I got some peking ravioli, that were without a doubt, the frozen kind. I'd expect for the price to be the style of other local places, with the thicker wonton on the outside. I also got the sushi special roll, the Mt. Fuji. That was really good, other than when it said mayo on top, I expected spicy mayo. My own assumption, but plain mayo on sushi just isn't right. After taking that off, they were fresh and tasty. Really disappointed in the ravioli, though. For a newer restaurant trying to portray a more modern and classy caliber, it's time to go homemade and make them worth it. read more

After moving from living in Tokyo to this area two years ago we struggled to find a good local sushi place that was consistent and had offerings not so Americanized that it was still sushi. Taka is that place. The rice is the deciding factor in a sushi place Sushi places that can't get the fish are not going to be in business for more than a week. However unless you've had proper short grain sushi rice cooked under the right pressure with sushi vinegar sugar and salt in the right proportions you may not realize it's just not right. It is here. Presentation is important too the Japanese eat with their eyes more than their mouths and if the food is sloppy it probably isn't prepared very well anyway. Taka gets extra points for presentation too! From their light up menus, the lights they have in the sushi platters, to the light up faucets in the restrooms it's very Tokyo cheek. I know the owners are not Japanese but it doesn't matter they pay attention to detail and I take my friends and family here all the time the Chinese and Thai food is nice too. If you're looking for good sushiI highly recommend Taka I haven't tried the Tepenyaki (Japanese steak house) AKA Hibachi which is actually the Japanese word for charcoal grill. However I'm sure it's top notch . read more

Food - 3 stars. Decent, but nothing on the menu worth writing home about. Oddly setup menu; some traditional dishes devoid of typical protein. Serving sizes could be better; the General Gau's was barely more than a single scoop. Price - 2 stars. Overpriced for serving sizes and quality of food. Charged for hot tea - rare in chinese places. Service - 2 stars. Server was brusque, but efficient. 5/8 min wait for table, despite several empty tables and no one leaving before we were seated. Disorganised, and clearly needs better management. Atmosphere - 2 stars. Again, nothing to write home about. feels a lot smaller than it really is, because of the way its laid out. but simultaneously nothing is that.. nice. Oddly limited seating though, unless you're there for hibachi. Overall - For the price, drive a little bit further to Bamboo. read more

Delicious food! We come every Monday, it's quite but the service is always on point. Perfect for a date or a quick bite. Never been on the weekend but I heard it's always busy. read more

Staff is wonderfully friendly! Came here from Seattle for a work conference and saw this place is new. The sushi is so FRESH, flavorful and fabulous. Affordable pricing for fresh sushi. Wait staff is attentive and they place your order right away through a walk-in talkie system which makes it come out faster! GENIUS! So very happy I chose this place over others read more

I was very happy with everything I was served. All of the appetizers are fresher than anywhere around. Our favorites are the beef teriyaki, chicken skewers,the crab Rangoon is the best I've had anywhere and I usually don't like crab Rangoon. The owner Sharon is an amazing person who would do anything to make your stay a great experience! You will not be disappointed! read more

We went in for just the hibachi tonight and it was very good. We had chicken and steak and both were cooked very well. The soup and salad that came with it was good as well. Can't wait to go back and try some other food to see how it is. read more

It was worth the wait for it to open. The food is amazing! My husband doesn't really eat shrimp and he loves the salt and pepper jumbo shrimp. read more

Pretty decent sushi, highly americanized asian cuisine. Nothing too impressive. I haven't tried the hibachi though, I just ordered the samurai roll, a california roll, an alaskan roll, pad thai, and the tuna nachos. The samurai roll was good, but the pad thai and the tuna nachos were disappointing. The pad thai lost some of its authentic thai flavor, perhaps because Americans aren't used to it. The tuna nachos were just four pringles with spicy tuna on top of it, I wouldn't really consider those nachos. In conclusion, there are probably better places to go for sushi around here, but it's not too bad. read more

We opted for the fry-tables...and regretted doing so. The restaurant is beautifully decorated ... lots of expensive glass, subtle lighting, stacked stone. But the staff? They kept fiddling with the lighting - up, then down, then up, then down. Then they fiddled with the background music - loud, soft, loud, soft. Then on to the temperature in the room - hot, then open the door and let cold wind blast in, then hot, then open the door and let cold wind blast in. The chef arrived and did his act - and he did not serve me my rice until the very end of the dinner. Food was cooked as ordered but flavors were meh -- "super delicious sauce" had *mayonnaise* in it - not only was it inauthentic it also tasted terrible. The final straw was at the end of dinner. I got up to use the ladies room, while my husband asked for the check -- I get back and he's got his credit card out ready to pay...and we waited and waited and waited while the wait staff stood directly behind us bitching about the customers and goofing off. I'd say the age of the wait staff was late teens. Immature. Finally one of them deigned to looked over - OH! Grabbed the check and credit card, ran it through and brought it back. Paul began filling out the slip; he put our copy in his wallet and the waitress came over and barked "HEY! Did you even sign that slip yet?!". Did they think we were going to just sneak out without paying? There were only 10 people in the room - how would that work?! We won't be going back. read more

I just came from lunch at TAKA , Let go down the list first of all the menu said hibachi LUNCH, I stared ordering the waitress said there was no lunch menu on the weekends, it does not say that on the MENU , THE RICE PORTION ARE SMALL , the waiter cooked for someone else beside our group looks like someone in the kitchen, the lady next to us wanted to try the friend rice , but the cooked could not give her none becuase the rest of the rice was taken to the back, the chicken was over cooked and the SHRIMP WAS RUBBERY ,, the portion we got was of a lunch portion, over prized read more

Excellent food and good service except for when they spilled water on my friend and accidentally threw the flame stick at me. They didn't offer more than a quick apology and then they laughed about it with the waitresses while pointing at me. read more

Absolutely love it here! Food is great! Apps, meals, hibachi, sushi! Drinks are also great! Worth checking out! There's a ton of seating inside so it never feels too over crowded and stuffy! Service is fast and friendly too! The edamame is always delicious and I'm obsessed with their scallion pancakes. Chicken fingers always come out perfect too. Definitely some good sized portions here. So many options you'll definitely leave with some great leftovers. read more
