    Steak Clay Pot Noodles
    Shran J.

    I went with some work colleagues durning the lunch rush and I had the clay pot noodles with steak and it was delicious. It was sizzling and pimping hot and the steak was really tender. What really elevated the dish was the Yum Yum sauce. I will definitely be coming back for it. I don't know the total cost but on the menu it reads 23 so probably with tax about 26. I will certainly be back.

    This is one of my husband's go-to spots to get sushi because the sushi is always fresh and flavorful. Since sushi isn't my favorite thing to eat, I have tried the pad Thai, drunken noodles, and the Thai yellow curry. All of these dishes were fine but didn't leave me craving more. The last time I had the drunken noodles they were a bit tough and my husband said they tasted a bit burnt. That being said, if you like sushi, this seems like a great option! I have only gotten takeout from here, but the inside does seem to be clean and inviting. Try the sushi and let me know what you think!

    This has become my go to spot. I go here now quite often. This photo in this particular time on this picture was my first time there I have been there now at least eight or nine more times I love the food. Everything is always fresh in the staff is amazing.

    Lunch Bento Box
    Lauren K.

    I popped into Takashi Bistro for lunch and had a nice experience. The food came out pretty fast and it was tasty. I order a yellowtail roll that I wasn't crazy about but my bento box was perfect. They also have mocktails at reasonable prices considering so many restaurants now are overcharging. Our waitress was nice and the entire staff was accommodating.

    This was the teriyaki chicken entrée... featuring the dry chicken I did not eat

    We ordered the steamed dumplings 10/10 would reccomend, then ordered the sushi roll also pretty good, the salad and won ton soup not very nice 5/10, then BOOM main entree chicken teriyaki ...you wouldn't think you could mess that up right? But honestly that was the driest chicken I've ever had .... Also we got the teriyaki salmon sadly it was almost as dry as the chicken. HOWEVER, the fried rice was amazing!! OVERALL i was satisfied because we ordered a lot of food and I didn't really need to eat my main entree. Also our water was not refilled which didn't help considering the dry chicken. And the restaurant smelled a little funky but maybe that was because I don't love fish. I probably wouldn't go back... but if I do I would stay away from any of the meats

    Bento Box -California sushi roll, fried rice, fried dumpling, and teriyaki steak.
    Margaret J.

    We had a great lunch date. The bento boxes were delicious and very hearty. We both had the teriyaki steak, the fried rice, the dumplings, and the California roll. Everything was tasty and fresh. And the Price is Right! Our server Hope was very attentive and the food came out swiftly and hot!! loved it!

    Clay pot
    Oliver G.

    Usually when a restaurant attempts more than one cuisine, I'm a little hesitant they can actually pull it off. But Takashi Bistro is the rare exception where their Thai food is just as good as their Japanese food. Some of their standouts are the clay pot, sonny's soba, and chirashi bowl. When I've been here with a large group, I've gotten the sushi boat which is a ton of delicious food and probably the best food/cost ratio if you don't mind sharing. The seafood is consistently fresh and I've never had any concerns about quality. The servers here are always kind, willing to recommend the best options, and are attentive to refilling water, etc. Their cocktails, sake, and tea are also very tasty and refreshing!

    Chicken Fried Rice Lunch
    Natasha M.

    Quick service in a nice atmosphere and good food. I ordered the chicken fried rice for a quick bite to eat and it was brought out within 10 minutes.

    Purple Haze Sake
    Yondela W.

    As soon as you walk in it is warm and inviting! The employees are very attentive and friendly! Very clean environment. The food was so amazing, I have zero complaints! Best Hibachi around! Perfectly located with plenty of parking. Prices are fair! We will definitely be going back!

    Jollibee and Pink & White
    Krysten E.

    We looked for a Thai restaurant in our area to no avail, but this spot has a Thai menu too! We started off with the Jollibee and Pink & White, really nice drinks. We tried quite a few sushi rolls and then the Thai Red Curry. All was delish. If I had any critique, it would be that they didn't give small plates for us to use and share meals. Service was nice, the bartender and server were both kind and attentive. The place was clean, a little unique with all the tvs.

    Clear soup lunch and salad with bento box
    Danielle G.

    The bento box was filling. The salmon had great flavor but a little over cooked. The California roll was cut into bigger slices which was nice. I really enjoyed it. It comes with a salad and choice of miso or clear soup. I got the clear soup. This is on there lunch special. The service was good but they don't make substations. The place is a good size and can accommodate a group.

    Drunken noodles with vegetables
    Sandra M.

    I'm visiting Memphis for work and I stopped in here because it was close to where I had a meeting. I ordered white tuna and yellowtail sashimi and the vegetable drunken noodles. I didn't have to wait long for my sashimi to arrive, and the noodles came out just as I finished my appetizer. The fish tasted fresh, and the noodles were fantastic. I didn't think I was that hungry but I finished every last bite because it was so good. My server was very friendly and he had the best smile. My meal plus a 22% tip was a very reasonable $33.

    Chicken Hibachi Chicken Dinner
    Karmen V.

    Hands down my favorite hibachi meal in Memphis. The food is always delicious, very impressive how fresh the seafood is considering we aren't near a coast. The restaurant itself is clean and the staff is very friendly, we always have great service.

    It pains me to have to leave this review. I came here once before several months ago and was very…read moreimpressed. I had a fantastic espresso martini and the best brussel sprouts I've ever tasted! So I was excited to come try something else. On the plus side, the bathroom was so nicely decorated. It was also very clean. I sat at the end of the bar, beside the little section of books. The bartender was nice. I ordered the Ember&Passion cocktail. Although it was pretty good, it was quite mild. Unexpected with the ingredients in it. I was surprised that the level of expected heat was not very detectable. I give it 7/10. When I came here before in the winter, the temperature was perfect and I don't remember being too bothered that they don't have cocktail napkins. But yesterday it was quite warm in the restaurant and not having these napkins wasn't good. Nobody in the restaurant had any type of napkin under any drink! I noticed that just like mine, every glass of water from every patron had a puddle of condensation under the glass. Each time I picked up my glass of water, it would drip onto my food and clothes. My two menus got so wet. I suppose they made this decision to save themselves a lot of money. As for the food: My parmesan truffle fries were excellent!! Hot, crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked in the middle. Best I've had in a long time. The Alabama white sauce on the side was just your typical sauce. It tasted just like every other Alabama white sauce that I've had so was not disappointing. But I actually ended up not using it because it was too thin and it didn't add anything to the fries. The fries were excellent enough on their own. I ordered my burger "pink" but there wasn't any pink to it, but I wasn't that bothered about it. Burger and the toppings were tasty, except for the fried green tomato. Looking closely at the picture, you can see that it was SO SMALL compared to the size of the burger. When a restaurant does that, don't they realize that it makes for a glaring disappointment?! It apparently came from near the end of the tomato, and not the middle. If you are going to offer a fried green tomato on a burger, then I feel as if you should only use the larger slices of the tomato, and save the smaller ends for maybe putting in salads. I've always been obsessed with fried green tomatoes. After having my first two bites of burger and still not reaching the tomato, I took it off to eat by itself. Sadly, it tasted terrible! I was surprised. Obviously, they didn't season the tomato or the batter. (Salt and pepper go a long way.) The burger toppings apparently made the tomato batter not only soggy, but also this strange thick texture. Like mushy and chewy at the same time. 1/10 Worst problem: FLIES!!! So many flies! When I just had my drink but no food yet, I noticed them but was not bombarded by them at that point. It wasn't until my food came. All of a sudden I was literally surrounded by them. They were everywhere! No exaggeration. I actually had to use only one hand to eat and the other hand to constantly move back and forth over my food. I eventually gave up and set the plate of some of my fries about 4 inches in front of my burger in order to hopefully draw the flies to the fries so that I could eat my burger. Unfortunately, after only four bites of my burger, when I set it down to take a drink of water, a fly landed on it within one second. Obviously, that was my last bite, and even when I was moving the plate closer to the end of the counter, two more flies landed on it. The glass of straws was inches from me. That, and the book closest to me seemed to be where they gathered to wait for their opportunity to dive bomb me. So many of them! It turned my stomach when I realized that I had been drinking from a straw with my water and I'm sure there had been flies on it before I got there. Every person that gets a straw in their drink at this restaurant has had a fly sitting on top of it. When the bartender told me about the desserts, it turned my stomach to think of just how many flies were in the kitchen. Had I known the fly situation was that bad when I first got my drink, I would have never stayed there, and I certainly would have never ordered food. I do think it is a real shame because the winter months are a totally different experience in that restaurant. But because of how horrible it was this time, I just can't ever come back.

There is a large bar top with very nice barstools, a dinner style seating area, a small stage for performances, an area that can either be a dance floor or anything else, and a wonderful back area as a private lounge. The private lounge has privacy glass. It can be a VIP area, or a cigar lounge, or another venue space. There are restrooms for men and women. I was impressed with The Pocket layout. It is accessible from a wonderfully historic staircase from the Tailor's Union upstairs. I loved that at the beginning of the staircase coming down, there is an original fireplace in the brick wall of the stairwell, super original and very nostalgic to the space. Overall, I recommend this space for venues. I hope that they are bookable on Peerspace or another venue space site. Great experience.

But when you walk back to the bar, it's super white and lit. It looks beautiful! We talked to the owner for a little bit, he was super nice and super friendly. My drink was good. Customer service was pretty good as well. We got there too late to where there was no food, but that's not why we were coming. This is a nice little hidden gem. That's the way the owner described it! I thoroughly enjoyed it.
