The restaurant was clean and inviting. Our server, Ari, was amazing, attentive, funny, and so cute! She gave great recommendations and answered all my questions with a smile. The sushi rolls took a little while to arrive, but they were totally worth the wait. The staff was friendly, and if you're ever in Aiken, I'd definitely recommend this spot! ps. get the biggest loser roll you won't regret it! read more

Always good vibes, food and ambiance at this location. Personal faves are the Poke Bowl, Jim Jim Roll, Steak Tacos and their hidden gem of a burger. Need to explore more of this menu. Staff always friendly and welcoming. read more

Awesome food. Great drinks. Start with the asparagus and southwest tuna tartar. from there try any of the rolls (they're all delicious) or takos. Personal favorites are the Poke Bowl, the TakoSushi Salad (get it with Salmon - thank me later), and the hidden gem - the burger! Churros or Mochi for dessert. read more

So. First off stay off the mayo guys!!! On the other side. Everything we ordered was good. Asparagus and the chilli relleno was awesome. The relleno is almost authentic of Tex mex from the west with ranch beans. Just please - enough of the mayo sauce on stuff. Otherwise 5 stars. read more

The food is always great here! However, wait times can vary so prepared to be there for a while. Always love the vibe sitting outside in the alley! read more

Honestly went to try the Poke Bowl have not looked back sense. The Bowl is so full of flavor and color and let's not forget the healthy amount they give you makes allows you to take some home for later. Amazing Atmosphere and Amazing Food. The service was top notch and the last experience there the server went above and beyond. Love Takosushi! read more

This place should close down. Every time I have gone here, all the staff just sits at the bar screwing off. Always an unpleasant experience. You have no business, so when people show up, get off your @ss and serve your customers. It's not hard. The location is great but not for Takosushi, Aiken needs to get better restaurants and bars in the alley. read more

We love the food here but they were very understaffed and we waited 45 minutes for our appetizer and drinks

The wait time for tables varies on the days of the week. Luckily the night we went we got seated quickly. Tuna tartare started the meal off an was super yummy. We split two rolls which were good but not spectacular. Small environment which makes for the surrounding tables conversations to drift into you're. Overall good experience and will come back. read more

Placed my pickup order at 1:00pm today, was told 1:38 for pickup time. when I arrive they said it was not ready yet but they would get it out asap. That's totally fine. I then sit at the bar for an hour. No one checked in with, all the staff just walked around me, which is annoying but they were also busy so I understand. THEN they started filling orders placed after me. Had to ask 3 times where mine was. Finally I ask for a refund that they figure out my order has been sitting on the bar for who knows how long, they didn't know because I even asked how long the sushi has been sitting on the counter. I walked out with room temp food at 2:45. I'm not one to leave reviews, but it seemed like the staff was so overwhelmed with a half full restaurant that any complaint I had was not going to be heard. Truly awful experience for the humble sum of $85. Wont see me again. read more

I have eaten here at least 10 times before and the food and the service were good. Tonight it was all terrible. They were out of 3 drinks on the cocktail menu and then the waitress said that the bartender could not make a vodka gimlet or a cosmopolitan - but he figured it out. They were out of shrimp and steak. Why bother to stay open? We almost left at this point but managed to order and the food was inedible - a salad that was JUST iceburg lettuce and hot food that was served ice cold. One person in our party got her food when everyone else was done... the waitress said they were "slammed" but there were only 4 total tables in the place. It was so bad and I will not be back. read more

If you rate the food it gets high reviews. The place needs a serious cleaning. Bathrooms, kitchen floors, tables, cutlery all needed MAJOR attention. I'll go back one more time. But first I'll walk through to see if it has been cleaned. read more

I have to say, we did Takosushi multiple times, we saw the fresh ingredients, BUT when you put vinegar on something as subtle as Sushi, you just ruined it. Sushi is ALL about subtle flavors that mix together to make an unforgettable taste, and then you have the audacity to ruin a Sushi roll with something as overwhelming as vinegar,,,,,,,, you might as well leave the Sushi off and have a vinegar tasting flight!!!!!!!! Sooo awfully nasty!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Takosushi is the best!!! It's delicious! I've never ordered anything I didn't LOVE! The service is always great! I've never had a crazy long wait to be seated or served-- even on their busiest nights! The one & only downside is that it's not the biggest restaurant, but I feel like the size of the restaurant makes it more intimate and fun! I also love utilizing the fact that you can order to go-- it's fun to order to go and have a little picnic in Hopeland Gardens! Takosushi is the best & you will NOT be disappointed! read more

Grab the southwest tuna tartare! So good! We enjoyed the tartare and three rolls. Will definitely be back. read more

Takosushi - Southwest Tuna Tartare - Sushi Bars Near Me - Aiken, South Carolina

They have the worst sushi I have ever had. To be fair, I have never had gas station sushi but I imagine it couldn't be much worse. The rice in the sushi rolls was dry and not seasoned at all. The rolls are not balanced at all and drenched in sauce. The ingredient quality is poor all around. I am surprised I did not get food poisoning after seeing how dirty the bathroom was. I can only imagine how dirty the kitchen is. This is all a disappointment because Aiken needs a good sushi location. read more

I wanted to try something different and I stumbled upon this place. I ordered the poke bowl and I must say this would be my regular meal from here. It was fresh and flavorful. My husband had the nachos and they were great. The service was good once we got someone to figure out who was waiting on the table. The sushi bar was nice and clean. I will visit this place again and try some different things on the menu. read more

Went to Taco Sushi in Aiken, SC last night. I was disturbed when I paid my bill, with cash, and the waitress chose to round up and keep .59 cents. It threw me - so I at first thought it was a mistake and inquired - and my answer was - well we round up. I said, I did not agree to that and I want my .59 cents. WHAT DO YOU DO WITH ALL THE EXTRA MONEY YOU GET FROM YOUR CUSTOMERS. What about giving the exact change or hey how about rounding it down. Nowhere was this written - it is lunacy - When you pay with your bill via credit card - you have no problem laying out the tipping percentage and 20% is always the first line. I WAS ROBBED but I confronted the thief. I worked for lawyers & know this is not legal - there was not full disclosure - it was hidden, deceitful and I consider this to be robbery. I did tell the waitress that if this is in fact a policy, it needs to be in writing and spoken about before you take someone's money. This review is not about the food it's I about the audacity of Taco Sushi to think this is ok - IT IS NOT. It is not about the money - it's the principal and respect of this issue (or shall I say disrespect). I will say that since the new owners took over - it has gone way downhill with regards to the quality of the food. Very disappointing on every level. Improvements need to be made in every way. How about with the extra money you made over the years you put a heater by the front door so the people sitting by the door do not get the arctic blast every time the door opens. read more

Wow! Ordered the Yasai Roll (a $10) hand roll with vegetables. What they served 5 miserable pieces of one asparagus rolled in some rice. Terrible! Save your money and find a better place read more

Staff was rude when we arrived- after being sat and appetizers put in- had to flag waitress after our appetizers to finally take our order. It was barely busy and a large party was walking through the door. Order was put in at 4:10pm (before large party ordered anything)Sushi rolls were ready and sat for 15 mins on the sushi bar waitress addressed us once to say the order of fish and shrimp tacos should be ready and then came back and asked if we wanted the rolls for my daughters I said yes being they had already been done. 5pm and after our order of simple fish and shrimp tacos had been ignored on being checked on again and daughters had finished their rolls asked for the check - waitress said they should be done went back to the kitchen came out with nothing went up front took the tacos off and came back with check. Barely apologized at all and everyone around us had their food and large party had already been served appetizers and orders were coming out- 3rd time here and last time. Also we were the only table given plastic to go cups to put our soy sauce in while everyone around us had actual dishes. Each time I've been here the waitresses all seem to hate their job, food was decent so tried to give it a chance. read more

The service was horrible. We waited forever for our food. Instead of trying to address the problem, our server ignored us. The. The food was cold. There are too many other options in Aiken to give them more business read more

Fun spot to stop at in the Alley but mediocre food and service... The sushi was better than the burger, I would definitely only tell people to come here for the sushi side of the menu, the other stuff is not worth the money at all. The burger was bland and nothing special for ~$20. If you do like sushi though, it is a decent spot where you can get a roll for ~$20 as well. read more

It took 15 minutes to get a coke and water bc they had no clean glasses and the waitresses were having to wash them instead of attending their tables. The manager was too busy hanging on the hostess stand and going to the bar complaining about her job and everything else in her life than helping out washing the glasses so her waitresses could attend their customers. Actually almost every employee was standing at the bar complaining about their job. We were at a table by the bar and heard it all. Our waitress was great and doing the best she could with what she had to work with. She kept apologizing but it wasn't her fault. Also two things we ordered, or tried to order, were sold out or not available. Be professional, act like you care about the people that come in and do better. read more

Awesome! I had sushi mi, my mom inlaw had the nachos, my man had the volcano roll. It was so nice! Ate outside. The waitress was a sweetheart read more

My wife and I had lunch at Tacoshushi a few days ago. It was my first time there and I had heard good and not so good things about it. Usually, I consider that to be a "somewhat red" flag, and suspect consistency problems. I was wrong. Tacoshushi offers such a wide variety of East and West flavors that I can see initially ordering something you don't like. At the same time, I would in this instance recommend giving it another try. I can't imagine not being able to find something you like. I wasn't very hungry so I just ordered the Sumo soup. It was more than I expected in both taste and volume. It has a hearty broth base, which alone would be satisfying. Add to that fresh crisp onions, yellow squash, carrots and more. Layer into that shrimp, salmon,tofu, chicken, and the biggest tastiest clams, you have a meal that will satisfy any appetite. It's hard to describe eating this soup. It has an overall great taste and texture. With the variety of tid bits, you also get snippets of all those other flavors in each bite. The next bite being different but just as good as the last. That having been said, I can understand how some people would not be as appreciative of the complexity of this soup. My wife had some sort of sushi. I'm not a sushi guy. I always say my favorite way to prepare sushi is to roll it in cornmeal and fry it in peanut oil. So in the case of their sushi, I freely admit I'm not a good source. However, looking around at the number of people who were enjoying their sushi, the only conclusion one can draw is that it's MY problem. Service was great, the and customers alike were very friendly. The place is very clean, with a nice "feel" to it . I strongly recommend trying this place at least twice. My only rub is the prices. They are a bit high. But, to be perfectly honest, for the quality of the ingredients and their preparation it's money well spent. My wife declared it a keeper. If for no other reason than happy wife, happy life I'll give this place my first Arnold "I'll be back" award. read more

Spiraling down...what's with the extremely high prices? The service is bad, and the food is just average. Ambiance is nonexistent. We were here on day one, and unfortunately we won't be here for the end. We all know sushi is overpriced, but I don't expect to drop a Benjamin for lunch. read more

Great good service and atmosphere Savana was a great server! yet black and red (kind of the most hard colors to use in a restaurant) the cobble walls just added a more natural vibe. The only thing I have to say is the corn tortillas were stale. read more

When I arrived at the restaurant, there was only 1 other table, and they had already started eating. So I was the only person who put an order in. I ordered the Rock-n-Roll sushi roll, which is eel and avocado. Now, tell me why it took almost an hour for me to get my food?!! (No exaggeration) On top of that, the sushi barely had any avocado in it! I took a pic. Do you see any avocado? This was my 1st time here, and it was very disappointing. read more

I ate there with a group of friends and we were VERY disappointed by the food. My friend ordered a roll that was nothing but rice and very little seafood. I had a stir fry that was so salty, I couldn't eat it. After complaining, we never heard from a manager or were offered any discount on our bill. The chef, and I use the term loosely, really has no idea on how to cook Asian food. read more

The restaurant is very small and tables are squished together in an uncomfortable manner No ambiance inside, it's location is the best part. Eat outside of you can for sure. Our table got one burger, one poke bowl and 3 rolls and one appetizer. It was so expensive I couldn't believe it! Mediocre food. Burger was tasteless and way way overpriced for the quality. Service was just okay. Won't go back. read more

The tempura shrimp in the crazy roll was frozen fried shrimp. It was terrible, especially considering the prices that are being charged.

The sushi was pretty good! The food is pretty expensive for what you're actually getting, if I'm being honest. The service was a little bit slow, but it was very busy so that's understandable. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, which is really nice. The indoor tables are pretty close together, so it felt a little squished in there. read more

Went there for lunch Saturday. Restaurant was not busy walked out after an hour and food still not served. Waitress came by at some point to say food would be out soon and a lame sorry.

I had the California Roll with a shrimp appetizer. The food was great!

Great food and customer service. Relax and friendly environment. Clean and quick service.

Received a high recommendation from Willcox hotel to check out Takosushi. Was really hoping for a good local sushi place. My husband ordered the Tako plate, we shared potstickers and I had a Super Krunchy roll. The potstickers and sushi roll were fine but not memorable. I thought the price was high comparatively to similar places where I've really enjoyed the sushi. My husband was not pleased with tacos. No plans to return. read more
