Came here on monday night and there was still plenty of seating for a large group! We ordered a ton of rolls and the Miso ramen. The ramen was just ok. The specialty rolls were our favorites! Good prices but service was kind of slow
I loved it. Felt like i could imagine what it would be like to eat in a small place in japan.
Takeshi is close enough to by office that I frequently go to there to reward myself. Their prices are reasonable (a ramen bowl is about $15) but most importantly their food is delicious. I don't get why this place is not jam packed every single say for lunch; maybe they get a lot of online orders. Their fish is fresh and the sushi is superb. Their staff is so nice! Do not miss going to this place.
Amazing sushi place tucked away near Courthouse! Curry ramen was new and a set option came with a hand roll. Sushi rolls were delicious too and everything came out quickly
If there is a Japanese restaurant near Clarendon that feels like you're eating at a home kitchen with good, honest Japanese food, including fresh tasting sushi or a hot bowl of ramen or udon or Japanese curry, this is the place. Not like so many pseudo-Japanese restaurants who put up the flags in Japanese proclaiming what they specialize in only to find that the restaurant had no idea what those flags said, the flags that are here actually mean something - they do actually have donburi and ramen and sushi. This is a small but cozy environment with an intimate sushi bar and tables that are set just the right distance from one another. Many couples are here on a date or an intimate weekend dinner, or someone is just reading a book while having a bottle of sake and sushi. This is that place - no nonsense, good food, ever in bloom cherry blossoms cheering you up no matter the temperature outside. I will be back to Takeshi in a heartbeat as there are few Japanese places like this in Clarendon or Arlington - authentic, not pretentious, good and wholesome food, and a sushi chef who clearly cares about his work, taking the time to make the nigiri or handroll just right.
Good sushi spot in Arlington. We stopped in here for a late night dinner. Had really fresh sushi. I got the Salmon Lover and it was really good. A lot of fresh salmon. My wife got the Spicy Miso Ramen which had good flavor, but the chicken in it was fried, which was a little off and soggy. Others in our party got the Titanic and Spicy Tuna rolls and they liked them. The atmosphere was fine, nothing special, and the service was just ok. I'd prefer Toryumon over this for the ramen for sure. Sushi was similar at both, but maybe a little fresher at Takeshi. Probably won't be disappointed at either.
We've gotten takout from Takeshi a couple of times. They do a good job with fresh, classic maki at reasonable prices, plus they have a lot of vegetarian options (for those in your crowd who don't want fish).
Great food! Great service! Love how they plate everything!! Been there many times and every time is awesome! The food is super consistent and always delicious :)
Takeshi Sushi opened up in the old Subway spot, and they serve various appetizers, soups, salads, ramen, sushi and roll sets, sashimi, dons, and other platters. We came here for an early lunch, and we ordered: +a She is so Hot Roll - spicy tuna and cucumber, topped with salmon and jalapeno pepper on top, with a drop of sriracha; definitely for those who like spicy +a 007 Roll - with spicy crab and cucumber, topped with cooked shrimp and avocado +an America Roll - with shrimp tempura, cucumber, crab, cooked shrimp, and avocado; it didn't stat that there was any eel on here, but I was pleasantly surprised that there was some slices of unagi on the top +a Rainbow Roll +a Hamachi Kama - this grilled yellowtail collar was of great value, and I liked that they had split into 3 pieces for easier consumption; this was delicate and flakey, with a light drizzle of a teriyaki-like sauce; I wished this was smoked or was cooked a little longer, as there were some red/bloody parts; requesting more of a heavier teriyaki drizzle would have been great Overall, the makis were okay, and much better than what I had envisioned or expected for this Chinese-owned and -operated sushi spot. While service was welcoming and friendly, we did have to wait about 30 minutes or so to get our food, so definitely not a place to consider if you're in a rush. There's limited metered/paid parking around the area. +friendly staff +slow service +paid/metered parking in the area
TL;DR - 3/5. I wouldn't expect much from their sushi, but their appetizers seem to be great value. Food: 2/5 * Ordered a sushi set and hamachi kama * Hamachi kama was a bit on the drier side - The value is great however (It's $10 only.) * For the sushi set, the sushi rice wasn't properly treated (It's just rice.) * In terms of sake, their Dassai 45 300ml goes for $29. Not worth it. Service: 5/5 * Good service. Ambiance: 5/5 * It isn't a fancy sushi place, and as such I feel the vibe is fine.
This is a cozy little restaurant that you will most probably miss if you aren't looking for it. Food - Good. The sushi was good, and their chicken curry was delicious Service - Good Parking - They do not have their own specific parking space, but parking can be found nearby. Overall, this place is good.
This place was amazing! I loved everything I had. We got edamame and a green salad with sesame dressing for appetizers. 10 out 10. I was worried about the sesame dressing but it was so good. We shared a sushi for 2. The nigiri was so good. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. We had 2 rolls (I can't remember what they were) but they were delicious as well. Service was great. We did go right when they opened for dinner (4:30) so they weren't super busy. I loved the decorations and the ambiance. So cute and just a great experience.
They are a very obscure looking place, which is hard to find. Even after arrival the sign on the door points to a different door, which is for an Indian restaurant. 1. Reservation: not needed, so many empty tables 2. Food: 3.5 stars. It is simply okay. Nothing special. - Rolls: i did not like any of them. - Ramen: was okay, but extremely salty. Wondered if it was simmering for so long because they don't have too many customers. - Chicken curry was very similar to indian curry more so than Japanese. 3. Service: polite 4. Ambience: casual I don't think I will come back. But it is an option if you are in the area and need a quick bite.

The food was amazing and our waitress was so super kind. It's a small restaurant with nice lighting and lots of beautiful plants. read more
They were super short staffed, so I understand the long, long wait--but I also question the hygiene of this restaurant. Me and my party's glasses had debris floating in and stuck to all 4 of our cups. Other than that, sushi was delightful and cheap, very heavy on the sauce. read more
I have to be in a particular mood for sushi, it's not something I get often. I work a block away so I randomly ordered Takeshi online and by the time I got there, it was ready! The place is very cute and quaint but I ate back at the office. The woman working the front was so sweet and made sure I had everything I wanted. I've never had a sweet potato roll, but it was DELICIOUS. Spicy salmon is always a go to for me and it didn't disappoint either. I'm also a big lover of seaweed salad. Altogether I was full and felt like my money was well worth the lunch. I'll be back soon! read more

There are so many sushi places in Arlington and I'm glad I went to this place. Pretty good sushi and even better presentation. It was so beautifully plated, I didn't want to touch it (but of course I scarfed it down coz it was delicious). I had the Roll Set deluxe combo and it came with 3 basic rolls and your choice of specialty roll. I chose the crazy roll and it was good - better than the tempura roll my friend got. I didn't like that there was no miso soup with the entree (which was $30). You would think that at that price you should at least get miso soup or maybe even a salad. That's why I knocked it down a star on the rating. Overall good place and if you're lucky like my friend and I, you'll get a street parking spot right in front of the restaurant. read more

The sushi is so amazing and fresh!! Some of the best sushi for a good price in Arlington VA. The spot itself isn't anything to write home about but the sushi is amazing! Also don't expect to drink here if you're into cocktails because they don't offer anything other than beer. read more

My partner and I are from the Bay Area and have been searching for a great budget sushi spot for the last two years since moving to DC. WE FOUND IT! We arrived at noon on a Saturday, and there were never more than a few tables full during our meal. The ambiance is cute and calm, the perfect spot for a date or a small hang with friends. We got our food after no more than 15min, and everything was delicious. The potato shrimp tempura was a great balance of crispy and chewy, and the salmon lover was exceptional. The rice was great, and the quantity of salmon for the price is unmatched. Can't say enough good things about our meal! This whole meal was $65 (including a 20% tip). Already planning our next trip! read more

It's not authentic enough for me to place it into my "top sushi" list but I wasn't expecting Japanese chefs to prepare my food here- at the price and amount they offered, I was happy nonetheless. I had to pay for green tea- which is never ever something I do at a real Japanese sushi joint, but I came with lower expectations so it wasn't an issue. The rolls were good. We ordered sashimi for two and they were fresh but not a lot of variety. Their white tuna belly was the best of all- smooth, meaty, and scrumptious. Again, at the price point offered, it was reasonable. The decor is a bit odd but it was an awfully sunny hot day and we were just happy to have some A/C. They have plenty of outdoor seating. The bathrooms were okay- not gross, not super clean. Looks like a popular place for young'ns date night. read more
Cozy little Japanese restaurant with sushi and Raman. We only had sushi so can't speak for the Raman. We are in the restaurant which is nicely decorated and very pleasant with the calming, spa like music playing the whole time. The service was very professional and attentive. We had the salmon lovers sushi and the sashimi appetizer. Bother we're excellent. Coming from New York I'd say it would hold its own reasonably well. Fish tasted fresh and portions were good. Really enjoyed the salmon lovers, though would like to see a little more variety in the preparations. Visually there is a lot of variety, but not as much flavor wise (maybe include spicy salmon?). Regardless though I did enjoy it and do recommend both dishes. read more

I've never left a yelp review before but this place was so awesome I knew it deserved one. It was the perfect place for a date night. I came on a friday night at 8:30 and there was only about 3 other tables being occupied during the whole time we ate. The place is decorated beautifully with cute lights and cherry blossoms and plays nice romantic instrumental music. We decided to split both the crazy roll and the sushi and sashimi set and everything was super fresh and tasty. The crazy roll was definitely our favorite but all of it tasted amazing and was plated beautifully! Definitely going to make this place my go to sushi spot. read more

Great service, nicely decorated, and really good sushi! Perfect for an pregame or food date spot before heading out for the night. We ordered the gyoza, spicy tuna, yellowtail hamachi and a special roll I can't remember. All of the food was delicious with great presentation. Will be back to try the ramen as it was highly recommended and I can't resist a good bowl. read more

I'm honestly surprised that there is a good sushi spot in Arlington. The fish quality is pretty impressive for the price point! I got the "Salmon Lover" Sushi Set, which was $20 and really worth. It comes with 3 pieces of salmon nigiri, 3 pieces of sashimi, 1 spicy salmon hand roll, and 1 regular salmon roll (6 pieces). This was a good amount of food for me that left me at a satisfactory level of full. The salmon sashimi was quite fresh, tasty and super fatty. It was great. The rice was also very tasty with a good amount of vinegar. Honestly, I had no complaints about this sushi set. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who loves salmon more than any other fish. Overall, pleasantly surprised that this place had some quality sushi. I will definitely be back again to try their other sushi sets and roll sets! read more
I thoroughly enjoyed this cozy spot. The sushi was fresh and delicious. I also tried the ramen. It was my first time having ramen from a restaurant and I found it to be flavorful and hearty. I barely finished it all. The service was really fast and efficient. I would and will definitely be going back when I'm in the Arlington area! read more
