    Chicken Katsu Curry Rice
    Tammy J.C. D.

    Food was great! Went in on a Friday at noon for an office lunch and the place wasn't very busy. There was only one sushi chef so we did have to wait a bit for all the orders that you'd expect from a large group (11). I'm not a big sushi fan but my Chicken Katsu Curry was delicious. Everyone's food came out perfect, looked great, and received rave reviews. Server was on top of things and steered us in the right direction with the man options offered at lunch. Go check it out, you won't be disappointed!

    We came here for dinner on a Friday and it was pretty empty. We ordered the sushi sashimi set and the small set which included udon, tonkatsu, inari, salad. Most of the fish were good. Salmon was the best, but I did eat a fishy piece. It's a hit or miss I guess. The rice didn't have that nice fluffy texture or rice vinegar flavor most other sushi restaurants have. The udon soup was nice and light. The tonkatsu was probably the best part. It was battered and fried perfectly without being oily. The service was good and ambiance is casual.

    My husband and I were impressed with the amazing food! This place is what you'd expect from an izakaya, minus the yakitori: a great selection of beer and food at a fair and affordable price! We went for lunch on a Sunday but it was pretty empty, so service was quick and the staff was friendly. It was nothing fancy, but the furniture was old (table and high chair were sticky), although I did appreciate some of the decor hanging on the walls. We've already decided we'd come back! They also validate for free parking in the garage.

    My husband and I have been visiting Takohachi for the past couple of years, and it's a consistently lovely and relaxing spot to enjoy genuinely satisfying Japanese food. While we often choose the ramen, which is always excellent, I recently had the bento set again--one of my favorites on the menu that offers great variety. The service is always dependable and superb. There is a kind gentleman who usually serves us and makes the dining experience pleasant and attentive every time.

    Cheap sushi!! It won't be the most mind blowing sushi but if you're looking to satisfy a craving, this is the place to go. Sushi is $1.50 a piece and you fill out a paper menu of what sushi you want and how many pieces! You can also pick from their menu and predetermined sets. The people who work here are extremely nice and the place is decorated quite homey. This is a great cheap place for japanese food.

    I've come here twice and at most currently it's about average for me, nothing bad and considering the price I paid for a whole meal and some change to take away for under $30 (which now a days feels like a steal)! There are multiple menus but I went for nigiri pieces, their small curry udon special, and croquettes. With the curry udon special it came with udon, curry, and a salad. The food was average - but I will say for the price getting sushi pieces for $1.50 is honestly unbeatable. I do love how cute the menus are with their drawings! If their food quality increases this spot will definitely end up more popular :) Service is good- every time I've come here it's always been pretty casual, quiet, and not busy at all! They did upgrade their interior recently to a new design but still feels like a pretty hole in the wall, mom/pop shop at times.

    Our waitress was awesome, and I really appreciate her recommendations. Our food was very good-- especially the meat wrapped scallions. I would not say this is the best restaurant on my vacation, but it was a good experience and I would go back and try other dishes. That's definitely a win.

    To start the service is amazing. They are so kind and welcoming. The environment is so cute, it's lower lighting but still can see things very well. And the food is absolutely amazing, priced great and tastes great too. It's right below an apartment building and parking tickets are validated. Absolutely love this place. And to add really quick food service.

    I was having serious withdrawals from eating delicious Japanese food often in Hawaii and needed a fix. Takohachi has been on my radar for ages so figured I'd try an order to go of the Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura dish with udon noodles. It was very good, not the best I've had, but hit the spot. Service was so nice when I arrived, she actually asked me how my day was going so far with a kind smile. I was so thrown off because customer service these days are usually so cold and automated, I felt sad that it was a weekday and the restaurant was totally empty. The ambiance is really cute and cozy and it's unexpectedly very large inside. Next time I look forward to trying the Japanese curry rice dish!

    This sushi is so delicious - and one of my favorite things is that the portion sizes are wonderful for to-go orders (check out my photos)! Everything tasted flavorful and fresh. Although I've only ordered to-go, the ambiance of the interior is cute and clean, and at some point I'm sure I will dine in. I've also never had an issue with service, at least for take out orders. Can't wait to keep ordering sushi from here!

    Micro Delivery Review - ordered food through Uber Eats. The packaging was fine on the outside. I really enjoyed the sushi and I liked that it came with a good portion of wasabi, but I will say I was disappointed that my tempura sauce had leaked before I even had the chance to use it, it had soaked into the vegetables, unsure if this was the restaurant or Uber eats fault. I did want to leave this review though because I actually enjoyed the food and I enjoyed the price for the fish to rice rice ratio.

    I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I've been coming here for lunch at work and I don't think I'll be going anywhere else for a while. Not only is the price fair, the food's genuinely so good!! I've been missing actually good, authentic Japanese food since I visited Japan a year ago, and Takohachi fills the spot. I've ordered several different dishes, Temaki, sushi, tempura, bento boxes and their Japanese curry, I haven't been disappointed yet. The service is fast, and the workers are very polite. Please support this restaurant, it's a hidden gem :)

    Nigiri
    Joyce Y.

    I've been meaning to try Takohachi for ages because of their $1 nigiri deal and even thought it's been raised to $1.50 (understandable due to inflation), the sushi's quality still exceeds the price. For the most part, we got reasonably portioned fresh fish that tasted amazing with well-seasoned rice. I appreciated that the menu even included options, such as salmon belly and yellowtail belly, that I don't often see at other places. The only one I would not recommend is their uni. Although uni is one of my all-time favorite foods, theirs tastes like bad seawater and is a testament to receiving high caliber ingredients for an extremely low price. I will definitely be back though and am looking forward to try more of their numerous items, such as their mackerel and masago.

    Do they still do the $1 sushi menu? I thought they had increased prices a bit with inflation but can't find the details on their FB.

    They have increased the price of the nigiri to $1.50 from $1. I think this happened about a year ago.

    Have they reopened yet?

    They are now open! Came in today at 12:30 & they said we were their first customers.

    Are they open now? The yelp looks updated with open time!

    Just called them today (10/22) and they said they're waiting for a permit and may open "in a few weeks".

    Hello Takohachi! Do you have a grand opening date for the new location?

    Drove by today --still closed as of Oct 1.

    Is the new location open yet?

    Just popped by today (9/16), doesn't look like it's open yet.

    How do you order the $1 nigiri for delivery? I don't see it on the delivery menu. TIA :)

    It has to be phone order.

The food at Sakaki is full of flavor and the prices are reasonable for the amount. I think, after being twice, that the AYCE is not as worth it for me personally because I'm not a big eater, but it's totally worth it if you want a lot of variety and you have a good appetite. I really liked the rolls in particular. The service was excellent- it was a nice balance of coming over once in a while to ask how we were doing without coming over too much.

Fyi- for the AYCE menu, note that once you put in an order for a round, you can't order for another 10 min so be sure to order enough at a time. Also, there is a time limit to the AYCE (I think it was 90 min). This'll definitely be a place I go to regularly in the future!

Service was FAST, they definitely weren't playing games. The restaurant itself is also super spacious and well decorated.

While we were there multiple larger parties arrived so it does look like they can handle the larger crowds. We were seated closer to the sushi bar/kitchen area but it appeared that there was a larger dining area on the other end of the restaurant. Food wise, i highly recommend the sweet shrimp and scallop sushi! The pieces melted like butter and tasted so creamy! The rice quantity is on the bigger side as well as the portions so be careful when ordering. The ramen was also a hit along with the aged tofu! Those were my top favorites!! Service was decent! Nothing over the top, our server checked in a few times, and the overall service wasn't too slow given the crowd. There is no dedicated parking lot so street parking is it for this area.

My husband and I dined in for the first time today, and we were both very impressed with the atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff. Hayden was our server, and he showed exemplary hospitality skills. He made us feel welcome, checked in on us frequently without feeling overbearing, and made sure we knew the AYCE menu is double-sided. Speaking of, the AYCE is such a great deal! I used to live in Vegas, where AYCE sushi is very common. Unfortunately, for most of them, since the focus is on quantity, the quality suffers. This is not the case for Toryumon! Maybe it's because it isn't strictly an AYCE place. You can absolutely order items a-la-carte from their regular menu (as I had done previously for take-out). The items are exactly the same whether you order from the regular menu or the AYCE. Same quality, and, this is important, same size! Yes, you will receive a FULL-SIZED bowl of ramen if you order it from the AYCE menu. Not all of the menu items have descriptions, and I was surprised by some of them (not in a bad way, just wasn't what I was expecting), such as: The avocado salad. I was expecting it to be cubes/chunks of avocado tossed with a dressing. What came out was a lettuce salad with sliced avocado on top. The dressing was good, slightly sweet. It was a good salad, just not at all what I was expecting. The sweet potato sushi roll is served warm, the sweet potato is deep fried, and there is eel sauce on top. The sweet potato rolls I had other places were not fried, and served cold. I really enjoyed this one! Everything seemed very fresh, not a hint of wilting greens or brown avocado to be seen! I am so grateful to live right down the road from this amazing establishment. If you enjoy ramen, sushi, and other Japanese items, def give them a try! There are bathrooms available for guests. What my stars mean: 5 is outstanding, memorable, a place to write home about! A must-experience. Someplace I would love to recommend to tourists, and visit myself again and again. 4 is great, somewhere I'd love to return again and again. Back-up recommendation for tourists. 3 is good. A solid option if I am in the area. I may recommend to locals, but would probably leave it off my list of recommendations for tourists. 2 is ok, but only because it a great value, unique, and/or convenient. 1 means I would not return.

The audacity of that was plenty of fuel for the one star. As if that weren't enough, when the associate that was on the phone was done, her colleague looks at me and asked what I "needed"...I chose to tell her I was there to dine, again, standing there alone, and her response was, "I'm not supposed to automatically know that." Representing the restaurant in this manner let me know she didn't desire my business, or presence. I promptly let her know that I'd pass on dining there, and left your establishment. I don't care HOW good your food may be, your staff's customer service and attitude ruined the chance I was taking to try a new local establishment. I'll be sure to share my experience with whoever asks, but I encourage the enhancement of customer service training to prevent losing more diners like myself.
