We stumbled in out of convenience on a monday night. Only a few tables were occupied, and we were able to pick up a bottle of wine next door, which was wonderfully situated since this is a BYOB restaurant. The menu is extensive, offering both sushi and a wide variety of cooked entrees. It took me a little while to decide since I wasnt expecting so many options, let alone the taka soecial menu, which lets you choose teo appetizers, two rolls and teo soecial rolls, which sounds like a great deal (we will be doing this next time!) What we did order, was the pork gyoza and the tuna tataki to start. Both were fantastic, and maybe the freshest tuna I have ever had. My guest ordered the sushi deluxe, which came with a lovely array of fresh fish. I was able to take a taste of the yellowtail served with chili crisp, and I could have had a whole plate of it by myself! I decided on a build your own poke bowl, which was so much fun to build and everything felt fresh and beautiful. We are already planning our next trip here! Definitely the best sushi around. read more

Updating my review because it's been some time and I think Taka deserves it. In comparison to any other sushi place in Summit, Taka is definitely the best. Their rolls are always fresh. The rock shrimp appetizer is great if you like shrimp. The tempura isn't too heavy or greasy. I tried the Green Toro toll for the first time and really enjoyed it. The spicy tuna crunch is also good. It's affordable, really solid Japanese food. Comfortable inside, the service is pleasant. It's a nice staple to have in Summit. I always enjoy their green tea too, as well as the fried ice cream read more

The frugal option for Japanese in Summit, Taka Sushi never disappoints! I recommend the Roll Combo as you get 3 sushi rolls and a miso soup or salad all for under 20$. Not many places like this anymore! read more

This has been my favorite sushi place for years! They serve the most fresh catches from the sea! The vibes are immaculate.

The fish was incredibly fresh and portion sizes were hefty. The sushi combo was good bang for your buck! Also the rock shrimp was super crispy and yummy! read more

Delicious sushi! We ordered Kani Salad and green Salad to start; they were fresh and well dressed with carrot ginger dressing and special treat on the green salad. We ordered Salmon skin Roll, California roll, Manhattan roll, spicy spider roll, and spicy tuna roll. Best of all. I had Uni which was divine. Servings were generous and service was fine. read more

I'm hoping it was just an off night at Taka. I've been here many times before and usually enjoy it but tonight was just ok. It was a Saturday night and literally just 2 other tables were taken and there didn't appear to be any take out activity. On previous visits it was always a happening place. But in fairness, it was a very rainy night so maybe that kept people home. So, unfortunately, on this visit there was no vibe or atmosphere at all. Food was ok. Edamame was good, beef negamaki was ok but seemed microwaved. Not sure the shrimp was rock and it was over sauced. Mixed sushi platter (uninspired presentation) was fine. Our server was completely indifferent. read more

The food was fine. I would say it is no better or worse than the average sushi place which is quite common and easy to find. I got a standard sushi dinner and a yellowtail jalapeño appetizer. Why I rated the place two stars is that I found out later they charged me a different tip than I gave. I keep a copy of the receipt with the tip specifically to watch out for this type of thing. The difference didn't amount to be much but the tip was the type where you check off the box so I find it unlikely they put the wrong tip. read more

Got 3 orders of spicy salmon, finished it all in 10.056 seconds. I slurped, nibbled and licked them up, as a credited Yelp reviewer I can say that this sushi is like getting a 30 year sentence down to 1 year of probation, just incredibly different and nothing like that . read more

The salmon roll was excellent. The prices are fair and interior is very relaxing. Service was quick.

Everytime I come to Taka Sushi it's so good. I've come multiple times and the food and service has been nothing less than amazing. The ambiance is so calm and relaxing. Definitely recommend trying their pork gyoza, spicy tuna, and shrimp tempura. read more

Wow. I can't believe that I haven't reviewed Taka in awhile... Well, for me, it's our local sushi joint! And a BYOB! It is usually easy to get a seat and service is friendly and good. To start, love the edamame and seaweed salad, as well as shrimp shumai. All fresh and delicious. We have sampled a lot here. My personal favorite is the jumbo taka roll. Bf loves the beef nagimaki. We have had a variety of entrees and sushi here and all has been very good. They have a back room with larger booths that can seat 6-8 easily and the area is a bit quieter. We usually have our girls night out in a back booth. Parking is summit style with street parking or nearby lots (free after 6pm.) read more

Ate here on a Sunday night. Place was not busy, but the server was rushing us to order. The food was good but the fish on the sushi pieces was very skimpy. The server started to clear the dishes before we were finished asking if we were done! Not a relaxing dinner. read more

We've been coming to Taka Sushi for over 5 years and it's our favorite sushi spot in the area. The service is friendly and attentive. It can be extremely busy on the weekends with long wait times but it's worth it. Also, this is a BYOB place. The sushi is always excellent quality, fresh and consistent. They have really good appetizers too. We usually get the sunomono (amazing), shrimp gyozas (pan fried on one side), baby tako, pickles, rainbow roll and plenty of sushi/sashimi. I highly recommend Taka Sushi! read more

Came in on my lunch, I have a usual sushi spot in town that I go to but I figured I'd go here to try it out. Service was very alert. Couldn't really tell if they were nice haha until at the end when I asked the lady if she didn't mind if I stayed just a little bit t finish some work. She smiled and said of course take your time. So that was sweet of her. I ordered the tuna tataki in ponzu sauce... it was ok... I've had better. I can't really say what the issue was... was lacking something... flavor?? Then I ordered what seemed popular which was the Jumbo take roll. I was not pleased... the rice was not stick and the roll maybe wasnt tightened up because everytime I tried to pick it up it would all fall apart. Each one. So it was a hassle to eat. Flavors too neutral and if you know me, you know I love me some flavors! I'll stick to my usual spot in town :-) read more

This is a great place to have sushi. I haven't gone in a while but used to go frequently when I worked in the area. If I'm in the area and want sushi- this is my go to place in downtown summit. I remember the glass door at the front is awkward Dining is modern and comfortable. Service is good. Food is great. read more

Great dinner spot, it was nice to return and dine in for the first time being back in town in a long time. To start with the food was amazing as always, but the staff suprised us with a tuna tar tar on the house that was delicious. The fried rice hasn't changed one bit and every roll was as good as I remembered. 10/10 read more

OVER priced sushi when you can go around the black to Sushi Palace and pay $21 for Unlimited Sushi and it's both fresh and tasty. I ordered three rolls and Taka and spent $25, if not more. read more

Consistently great food. Authentic. Menu is large and diverse. Excellent service. The sushi is always fresh and delicious.

We have been there only twice and it is already our local place for sushi. Food is delicious and affordable and service is great. If want to have regular sushi/sashimi or want some rolls, this the place to go. I'll be back soon to this place. read more

Got the green salad and while the ginger dressing was good, I am not a fan of iceberg lettuce green salads on a plate. Is rather a bowl and lettuce that isn't so large that you have to cut it. Got my usual, tuna avocado rolls. I used to get the yellowtail scallion but remembered I thought it was a bit fishy tasting the last time I had it. The rice is bordering on a little overlooked, but still I enjoyed it. Tried my husbands spicy scallop which was tasty! Good service and quick. read more

Meh. Another overpriced Japanese restaurant. We were in the nice little area of Summit and decided to try this place. The restaurant had a nice ambiance, so it was a plus I guess. When I was seated I asked for a cup of hot tea - and the server brought me a VERY lukewarm tea. Umm... no. Other than that the overall service was not so terrible when so many yelp reviewers here complained about it. I didn't have any sushi there so I can't say anything about the quality of fish. But I had Yaki Udon with beef, which was strange - It was pretty sour, which I did not expect at all. I thought the sauce should have been on the sweeter&heavier side? I thought it was pretty different from typical Yaki Udon that other restaurants serve. Also, the portion was pretty small for $14 something. My boyfriend got a chicken teriyaki bento box, which was around $17 and he agreed that it was a bit overpriced and they could've made the portion bigger. Overall, I guess you could try it if you're in the area but it wasn't my favorite for many reasons. read more

I came in on a Saturday evening & slowly watched this place go from full to desolate, back to full... The salad had far too much dressing...slightly to be expected but this was more than your average Japanese restaurant. I ordered spicy crab roll & spicy salmon which were both very good! Surprisingly you didn't see the spicy sauce on the salmon, only on the crab. The waiters were good but not overly attentive. They let my water glass get empty & I wanted something to drink with all the spice! I'd say the prices were fair, not too cheap, not expensive. This is your Average sushi bar. You won't be disappointed, but nothing to run home about. read more

I ordered some rolls and shared the fried oysters. The fried oysters were decent and the fish at least didn't give me any issues later if you catch my drift but other than that it was not remarkable. Pretty standard but don't recall the sushi even being tasty. Shared the fried cheesecake for dessert. That was good. Uploaded a photo. read more

Meh... The service is fine and the food is just okay. It's relatively affordable sushi, but it wasn't particularly well made and certainly not worth the prices. There are loads of cheaper sushi places nearby with much fresher, better sushi. read more

Nice place if you are looking for a sushi/japanese restaurant. Ordered the chicken teriyaki for an entree which was good. Tender piece of chicken breast sliced with a flavorful teriyaki sauce accompanied by some veggies. We also ordered Aged tofu, yakitori and an avocado roll which were all very good. Only problem I had was the green tea tasted like just hot water. The staff is friendly and polite. Also this is a BYOB restaurant. read more

Came here for a birthday dinner for a friend and was initially dissatisfied with the menu selection of sushi...who doesn't have a Philadelphia Roll? But after opting for one of the Specialty Rolls, I realized that it was unnecessary for them to focus on the basics. The wide selection of non-sushi items was excellent as well, making this an ideal spot for a large group where some people may not be a fan of raw fish. The Short Rib was supposedly to die for according to some of my fellow dinner-goers. As for drinks, the Blackberry Margarita was spot on and not too sweet. Service was excellent even for a large party, along with a very trendy ambiance. read more

We were there on a Friday night. They are short staffed but our waiter did his best. Our sushi was very good for all you can eat. We will be back!! read more

Don't bother with this place ... so many sushi restaurants much better. Here's the thing, pieces of sushi we're tiny and flavorless (mentioned to server and she shrugs it off). Prices are top dollar and food should reflect this. Service was average and not friendly. Felt like we were doing them the favor. read more

Ordered the hand roll thinking it would be equivalent to the regular roll, as it is equivalent price. Absolute rip off. One tiny piece was included, I am STARVING! Therefore, one star. read more

After checking out two other Sushi restaurants in Summit I settled on Taka Sushi and I was glad I did. The owner couple were extremely attentive and made sure my meal was just right. The sushi is fresh and what your would expect from a top notch sushi place. The tempura appetizer was good and the sushi choices were well presented. There is no liquor license so bring your saki and Japanese beer with you or walk a few buildings down the street to the wine and liquor store and purchase what you need. I would have given a 5/5 but it was kind of dark at the sushi bar (rear of the restaurant) and the clear glass refrigerator where the raw fish was displayed could be better presented. Solve these two small items and it's a 5/5 for me.... read more

I like this Sushi restaurant, the service is good, and the meet is sooo fresh. The location is very convenient, it's close to the Summit Station, and it's quite at night. But it's a little expensive though. The gum is very cute and tasty. read more

I ordered 3 takeout lunches and they forgot 2 salads, 1 soup, and soy sauce. It was very disappointing and I didn't notice until I got home. The sushi is okay but I was just disappointed after they blatantly left items out of my order. read more

Just ordered from this place tonight. There prices are absolutely ridiculous, but the foods pretty good. My biggest issue with them is that I ordered 2 orders or edamame and 2 avocado and cucumber rolls. I always eat my rolls with eel sauce, but they literally charge you .50 for a baby half cup of it. It's so ridiculous, and it's even more frustrating when the lady is fighting with me on the phone! Like NO it's a dollar for a full cup. What a joke! I'm already paying over 20 dollars for basically vegetable and you can't give me a cup of eel sauce full for free. They really just squeeze money out of you any way they can. read more

So friendly and sweet with my 3.5 year old who was having Japanese for the first time. Sushi was great too.

i hate to write a bad review for this place but I just feel their sushi is inferior and over priced. The lunch specials are priced reasonably but for dinner there are way too many other options in the area to eat here. I think it is a nice place, has a nice ambiance and the food is out pretty quickly. But the quality of the sushi and food is not the best in my opinion. I am actually surprised to see so many positive reviews for the food for this place. I have been here many times and the sushi tasted sub par every single time. Look into other options if you are in the mood for sushi. read more

Taka is your typical neighborhood sushi stop - reliable food and friendly service. My girlfriend and I usually stop in or takeout a few times a month basis, as the fish is always fresh and tempura tasty. I wouldn't advise the teriyaki, I had it only once but was underwhelmed. Generally, the appetizers are pretty good, in line with what you would expect for the price. read more

Not your run of the mill "cheap sushi" place. The "cheap sushi places" in NJ are a dime a dozen, and the funny thing is they aren't cheap either, but the sushi sure tastes like it. Taka is a well decorated place and the rolls are exceptional! I had the taka jumbo and fancy roll, and hubby had the sushi and sashimi roll. The "California roll" in Hubby's combo was good! Better than the normal. The place has a nice ambience, though minus one star for having to ask the waitress to refill my tea multiple times. Street parking is available in downtown Summit. read more
