    Vegetable and shrimp tempura
    Kayla A.

    Since we loved our last visit we had to stop by here again on our way home. Sadly I was battling a bad case of laryngitis when I called to make sure we would be able to be seated and spoke with Mark. He was so sweet upon arrival and told me it was a good thing that I called since they were planning on closing early but Chef Shin accommodated us. We ordered the Tuna on Crispy Rice, Dynamite, Scallop Hand Roll, Sweet Shrimp and Spicy Tuna Roll. Overall the food was good and Chef Shin was busy at work way past closing time. Food was fresh but I did notice that just like everything else these days, prices have increased considerably. But we'll still come back every time we're in the Desert and need a sushi fix.

    Uni

    Takashin is a great Japanese restaurant that serves sashimi, nigiri and tempura. We have been here for lunch (seasonal) and dinner many times and we are always more than satisfied with the offerings and delicious, fresh meals. The sushi chef and staff are welcoming. While we had a very early dinner, we were surprised that many more customers are not finding their way to enjoy an outstanding experience here. The mouthwatering sushi was just as good as what we have had in Tokyo. This evening we both decided to order uni as a starter and the same specialty which was a Blue Fin Tuna Plate with tempura, nigiri, and tuna roll. With each bite of the uni and sushi, I'm certain my eyes closed with such delight. The seafood was so fresh and melted in my mouth. The tempura was crisp and light served with a matcha salt and dipping sauce. For desert, we shared a green tea cheesecake which was good. We will be back!

    Sushi is not something I usually crave when I am in the desert, but I saw a lot of positive feedback for Takashin. It is tucked away in a corner of the Villa Soleil Apartments, but there is plenty of street parking along Palm Canyon Drive. The staff were very friendly and attentive. They also were knowledgeable about the menu, which I noticed right away, especially when they have monthly specials. Things ordered: + Takashin Ceviche ($20), a very refreshing appetizer + Toro sushi ($12.50 each), it was super fresh and delicious + Sea Urchin sushi from California ($10 each), ordered this since the uni from Japan was out, this was quality uni + Sweet Shrimp sushi ($10.50 each), this was really good + Scallops sushi from Japan ($6 each), fresh and had great garnish + Whitefish Yuzu ($31), it reminded me of carpaccio and was good + Chilean Sea Bass Miso Yaki ($27), it was okay I really liked this establishment. It was not cramped, there is a sushi bar, and the vibes were good.

    Assorted sashimi

    Takashin is a locally owned authentic sushi spot in Palm Springs, we found them due to Yelp and were glad we did! The nigiri was fresh, the Japanese wagyu was tasty too, and we especially liked the large selection of regional Japanese sake. The chef was very friendly and we enjoyed it for a weekend dinner. I would say the fish is a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. Would recommend Takashin if you're feeling fishy in Palm Springs

    Seabass
    Joy J.

    I truly enjoy sushi and had high hopes for this restaurant after reading many positive reviews. One even claimed the food was comparable to what you'd find in Japan. Unfortunately, I took that person's advice, and while I haven't traveled to Japan myself, I have traveled to Hawaii for over 20 years, where I've experienced authentic Japanese cuisine. This restaurant didn't meet those expectations. On a positive note, I appreciated that they didn't offer a lot of rolls, which often represent non-authentic Japanese food. The service was excellent--perhaps (at the time) because my sister and I were the only ones there--but I appreciated the attentiveness. We ordered assorted sushi, a dynamite dish that was watered down with too many mushrooms and not enough scallops, two miso soups, and the seabass dish. I was quite disappointed to find that the seabass was just a pre-sliced fillet for $27, rather than the whole fish I expected. The portion was thin and not worth the price. I really want to support this restaurant, but unfortunately, the quality fell short of what I had hoped for.

    Tempura Assorted

    I had the salmon bento with assorted tempura and my friends ordered the chirashi bowl. The fish was fresh and delicious. The service was great, just slow. The downfall was that they didn't have the air conditioning on and it was so hot in there. It just doesn't feel right to eat sushi while sweating! We told our server at least 4x and finally they opened the doors to let the breeze in. It was about 10 degrees cooler outside than it was inside. Not sure why they didn't open the doors sooner!

    Rainbow roll
    John B.

    - Wonderful and friendly service - Miso soup was super flavorful - Rainbow roll was the star of the show - Green tea and lots of refills - Pricey TAKASHIN is a solid little gem right on Palm Canyon. My partner and I came here during the Magic of Lights parade, as we were both starving and everywhere else around was already booked solid. They had just opened up, so we figured why not let's try it. The staff were very welcoming, and super attentive to us. Service was fast, and the food was great! They have a lot of pricey items on the menu, so it was a bit difficult to find something that we could have that wouldn't break the bank. We ended up going with sides and rolls, which worked out for us. Our favorite was the rainbow roll! The restaurant served as a great way for us to watch the parade while still inside. We could see everything through the window, and the staff didn't mind us staying there to enjoy. Thank you TAKASHIN!

    Seared/King Salmon. Off menu item that the chef was able to make.
    John Kevin G.

    Came here with a group on Friday evening during Splash House weekend. There was no wait and the ambiance was settled and soothing. The table shared a house hot sake. For food, I got to try Tuna(Blue Fin) cut, Takashin Special Sushi, and King Salmon (Fresh) Sushi. The ladies were hyping up the Takashin special and I can tell it was a reason to come back. The cut is divided into two cuts of fish with a small crunch inside and the unexpected kicker is the sliced lemon piece that your tongue and taste buds make you go 'whoa'. The chef was kind enough to make us a seared salmon, or they bill it as King Salmon Sushi. I enjoyed how the chef made it because he added a slight of wasabi right under the fish cut. The service was amazing and the servers were very generous when they refilled our waters and when the chef was kind enough to take our special request.

    Shin prepares the freshest sushi in the area. The rice is always perfectly prepared and the fish is of excellent quality.

    Kobe Japanese Steak House - Lobster shrimp and scallop

    Sunday night. Four of us. 7:00 PM reservation at Kobe Japanese Steakhouse -- a place we'd been…read moremeaning to try for a while. Parking was easy. Plenty of space, valet available. We waited a little past our reservation time, but nothing dramatic. Standing by the koi pond for a few minutes wasn't the worst way to start the evening. Once seated, it was the classic teppanyaki setup -- shared grill, chef introduction, menu walkthrough. Quick note: parties of six or more automatically get 18% gratuity added. We were four, so tipping was still up to us. Overall, the food was good. Miso soup -- solid. Rice -- exactly what you expect. Chicken teriyaki -- actually very well done. The chef worked confidently, service was attentive without hovering. No complaints there. My issue was with the steak. I ordered the Imperial steak (around $50), medium rare. They confirmed the temperature, which I appreciated. But once it was cut into smaller pieces on the grill, the final doneness leaned closer to medium. A few pieces clearly cooked longer -- likely to balance out other temperature requests at the table. It wasn't bad. It just wasn't precise. When the total for four people comes out to $316 before tip, precision matters. The atmosphere is fun. The format works. It's a solid night out, especially if you enjoy the show aspect of teppanyaki. For me though, it's a one-time experience. If invited again, I wouldn't mind. But I wouldn't go out of my way to return. Good experience overall. Just not one that pulls me back.

    I remember last year ago I celebrated my bday and we sat in the other big room and I never paid…read moreattention with hygiene or sanitation but last night we sat down in the other small room corner room and I'm sober when we came in and J R was exhausted from big group in front of of us 8 or 10 people and we just 4 people so nice break for J R. Our server was very attentive. J R very marching band too, even though he is cooking he heard everything I said. Ok now the BAD part, despite the interior design being dark, the exhaust seems fire hazards, idk if only that room last night or the other room too. Vallet Parking unnecessarily They need to deep cleaning it.
