Sometimes, you really just want guacamole and sushi.... and when you do, Takosushi is your place to go. Consistently good food. But, the Mexican options are pretty expensive. We usually stick with guacamole app, crazy caprese salad (order it. It's amazing) and some kind of roll, usually whatever is the weekly special. Good place for a date. read more

All I can say is YUCK!!! Never going there again!!! Unless you love sushi this place doesn't have much of a variety at all and food is way over priced and barely a selection in the southwest part of the menu either. Our waiter didnt come around much either. Very disappointed. The waiter didnt offer to discount the food which we barely touched and she knew we didn't like the food and it was our first time eating there. Not that we cared but it wouldve been nice. Definitely our last time eating there!!! read more

Pork dumplings and awesome fusion of west meeting east! Tacos and Sushi !! Kind of small so if you go please make sure you come early or with minimal people! Average bar but great drink specials! Servers are helpful, and even if your not a fish person there are plenty options read more

I give this place a 3 stars for now. My experience left much to be desired. While I recommend the tempura asparagus to anyone, and also the sushi, I wasn't a fan of the chicken tamales. I didn't even eat a third of my dish, my waiter was kind enough to remove it from my bill since it pretty much went untouched. I really appreciated that, and it saved my overall dining experience from being ruined. Now, to the reason I am giving Takosushi 3 stars, from the moment I sat down until the moment I left I was privy to conversation amongst the workers, I knew who was just suspended, who hated who, heard a few workers call other workers who were not at work the "B" word, knew who came to work drunk, and how much of a pain others were. To me, if you are running a business, you don't discuss the inner turmoil of the company around your customers, you don't trash talk around your customers, and your customers shouldn't know all the drama that is going on between employees and management. It's not a good look. The cooks and waitresses/waiters all participated and really didn't seem to care if I was sitting there or not. It made for an uncomfortable experience. read more

Takosushi - Tempura Asparagus - Japanese Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

See all

Warning: Surrey Center location has been remodeled - the funky charm (brick wall, etc) is gone, and it looks like a modern diner. Totally different, and not in a good way in my opinion. As we stood there taking it in, and saying to the hostess "Oh my gosh what have y'all done?!" she said three couples who had come in for dinner that night had left when they saw the new renovation - we did too. The food is decent but we came there for the location and cool vibe (tucked away, a bit dark, a bit rustic, etc). Now it is just - sterile, modern, diner-ish - I'm not describing it well but just hated it and will be mourning our little spot, now gone... read more

In my neighborhood. Always good. Depending on your tastes you can go southwestern or Asian. Both are delicious. Try the firecracker shrimp, the pyramid roll, the pork lime nachos.... it's all good! read more

I have yet to be disappointed by a dish here. I stick mostly to the sushi menu, although I've tried one of their southwestern specials (a steak taco), and it was excellent, too. The sushi and sashimi portions were big and nicely presented. My two-year-old daughter is a fan of the California rolls, which are always a safe but tasty choice. I recommend the bento box if you're not sure what you want; it isn't overly adventurous, but the chef's choices are good, and it's accompanied by a perfect, crisp cucumber salad. I shared mine with my daughter and was still not able to finish it all. The space is small and crowded, but it's comfortable. If you're there with one or two other people, I actually recommend sitting at the sushi bar. And it's a great option for take-out if the crowds are overwhelming. Very good sushi at a reasonable price. read more

I love their southwest tuna tartar and their fried asparagus. Service is always great too.

The food is unique and very good. It is a little pricey but worth it if you want something different. I have been there several times and they don't disappoint. I see this as more of an adult eating place but if your kids are into to sushi then more power to ya. read more

I love this place! It gets packed pretty quickly, especially on a Friday night. The staff is friendly and sitting at the bar is a treat (sometimes literally if the sushi chefs have some extras to give you). Great cocktails and the best guacamole in town. I often get the southwest tuna tartare but the rolls are good, too. read more

I love their sushi and their green chile chorizo enchiladas!

My husband loves TaKo sushi, so we decided to take him there for his birthday. We were running late but my sister-in-law and her boyfriend after waiting 45 minutes were getting seated as we walked in. Just as we sat down, her boyfriend was telling the hostess that water was dripping into my sister in laws lap. The hostess offered to get a bucket. "SERIOUSLY! A bucket." Then said, we would have to wait again for a table. We all were shocked at the bucket part, but in disbelief that she would make us wait AGAIN! Luckily, a manager over heard and sat us immediately. The food was delicious as usual. Although, the treatment and lack of apology for the rude service is disappointing. read more

I've only tried their sushi while I came here, and they were consistently good. One of the best sushi places in Augusta, although that doesn't say much considering Augusta's limited options. The ambiance is casual, and my favorite is the crazy Susan roll. I would come more often if it's at a lower price point. read more

Tacos and sushi and in the same restaurant??? Yes, please. Stopped by on our way out of town and had an unbelievable time. Between me and my girlfriend we split two appetizers (egg rolls and chicken dumplings), got three rolls of sushi and an order of tacos. Everything we had was top notch, the fried cod tacos were a special that night and I could have eaten 10 of them if they had put them in front of me. The fish in our sashimi rolls were fresh and flavorful. Bar was fully stocked. The only negatives I have are that the appetizers are really small portions, when we go back I'll just get an extra roll of sushi before getting an app, and the fact that the hot sake is warmed up in a microwave then served to you. Overall this is one of the best places we've eaten at in Augusta and can't wait to return for another meal. read more

If you don't like sushi, but want to be able to say you eat sushi, eat here. Nearly all of Tako Sushi's specialty rolls are an abomination of deep-fried something added with various colors of mayo glopped all over the roll. That's not sushi. It's the saddest excuse for sushi I've ever had, next to the crap you get at the grocery store. To top it all off, you don't get the bang for your buck. They overcharge for their nasty food. I've gotten conned continuously by friends to go here over the course of a few years; But after this last visit, it's final, I'm never going back. read more

Mexican food and sushi is a very interesting idea for a fusion restaurant. I haven't had the Mexican but I got the sushi and it was excellent! This time around I got the yasai roll and the lobster roll with some unfiltered sake. The unfiltered sake which I normally don't get was delicious as well. Ozeki nigori unfiltered. I will definitely be back! read more

My boyfriend and I stopped here in hopes of good sushi. Everything was delicious. We had seafood chowder, stuffed jalapeños, and 4 different sushi rolls. We also loved the atmosphere, and the servers were great. read more

Great, affordable, happening place. Food is great and staff is friendly. Delicious sushi and wide variety of appetizers!

This place is for ppl who say, "I love sushi!" but order a deep fried california roll?!? For people who don't know the difference btwn Sashimi, Maki sushi, & Nigiri sushi. It's for them country folks who don't know any better! No but seriously, the quality of the fish is poor and they use "low grade" cheap fish. You can tell by the discoloration and consistency of the fish when you chew. For example, when you order a roll with raw tuna from takosushi, they chop or dice the fish up into little pieces to hide the discoloration and consistency. It should be served in slices or strips, not chopped tuna in your roll. Their raw fish is always "sponge" like because it's not fresh. It's old fish! They top off their rolls with overly salty "takosushi" sauce or "teriyaki glaze' to mask this. And who are those people behind the sushi bar preparing your rolls? Random people who are taught to make rolls without having the proper training to handle raw fish. I had miso soup in the summer and it was sour. i had the manager taste it and he immediately made a fresh batch of soup. It happened during lunch which means... they were serving leftover soup from the previous night?!?! They should know that food containing tofu can't be left sitting on the counter overnight because it WILL go bad. I guess someone forgot to place it in the cooler....but miso soup is so CHEAP to make...why are they using leftovers?? They have decent queso dips but unfortunately, the chips are always stale. When you complain, they'll pop it in the microwave and serve it "crisp" again. Gee..thanks! I would recommend Matsu Sige on Washington Rd for quality. It's the best sushi restaurant IN Augusta. Their portions are small for the $ but it's fresh. No special "takosushi" sauce here.. read more

One of my favorite places to dine in Augusta!!!! The food is incredible! I love the sushi and have never been disappointed with a meal or the service. It is quite small and very popular so it can get crowded during peak dining hours but I have never had to wait a very long time for service. Take out is also great! I have called in orders many times and picked up dinner on my way home. Great option to have on their really busy nights! I have been to the Evans location as well but the Highland Ave is my favorite! read more

Awesome food! Look for Junior as your server. He is the bomb. He will be your best friend when you leave. The Fish is fresh and the tacos are amazing. I come here often! read more

In town for a few days and decided I try this place out. This place is awesome if you don't mind a bit of a wait on your food and a relaxed atmosphere. Even though I had to wait a bit for the food that I ordered the sushi chef unsolicitedly made two complimentary sushi pieces when he noticed I was waiting for a bit. Not only were they complimentary but they tasted amazing! I ate here everyday after that I was in town. I had the Buford soft shell crab roll, AMAZING, fried asparagus (delicious) and the top shelf golden margarita. The staff was very attentive for how busy they were and so polite. I'll be coming back in a few months and will be sure to make my way back to this wonderful spot. read more

Takosushi - Buford crab roll - Japanese Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Best Sushi in Augusta! Friendly staff!

The food is tasty and tastes fresh. I LOVED the potstickers. My only complaint is about the drink prices--I felt they were a bit overpriced.

Too slow, too expensive, not enough seating, Mexican food was all cheese. We had a sushi dish. The flavors were ok, but I have had better. The portions were incredibly small. So we ordered a burrito, and it was all cheese, covered with cheese, a few bites was all i could handle. they only have a few seats, and if you try to go on a weekend, you will wait a hour or two. read more

This is a friendly place and they tell me that Hispanic Itamae are the best in the world. I stuck with a white tuna sashimi, a roll, sorry I can't remember the name, and some hamachi, maguro and unagi nigiri. I liked the white tuna but it was not very carefully cut. The roll was good but a bit sloppy. The nigiri was wonderful. Definitely the highlight of the evening. As I say this is a friendly place the bar keep was very nice but the Itamae were not very talkative. The selection of fish was not the most elaborate but the ambiance was funky/nice. Very busy. Folks must really love this place. I'd love to come back some time and try the Hispanic side of the menu. read more

I officially love this place... the food was inpecable.. especially the crazy roll!!! the sexy salad was seriously.. sexy.. the only thing that was missing was the sense of urgency with tellers... but that's how it is at every place in Augusta :) read more

I was a bit skeptical about Takosushi, having heard about the sushi/southwestern theme of the place. But, I went home to Augusta, and asked a friend of mine to take me to a great sushi place and this is what she came up with. I took a look at their menu online (I highly recommend doing so, to be fully ready for the experience), and found a roll I wanted to try. The prices seemed SKY HIGH, and I only hoped it was worth the cost. We went around 7pm on a Wednesday night (the day before Thanksgiving), and with all the hype i've heard about the place, I fully expected to have a long wait. I was pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately. NOTE: While the seating was quick, the place is TINY. I haven't been to any of the other locations, but the one in Surry Center is so small. We were almost on top of the couple at the table next to us, and when they seated a party of four at the table on the other side, it became quite claustrophobic. It also wasn't convenient to have a server constantly right behind/next to me (I was sitting facing the wall, my back to the inside of the restaurant. The atmosphere itself was quite laid back, no one seemed particularly in a hurry, which was nice. The bonus of the closeness, I suppose, was we saw the FANTASTIC appetizer the adjoining table was enjoying and ordered it ourselves, as did the table on the other side of us. On to the food. I love eel rolls, so I decided on the Rock-N-Roll, plus a side of edamame. The edamame was great, well done and with a handful of coarse salt on top, perfect (but how can you screw up edamame!?). The roll was tasty, exactly what I wanted. Their wasabi was less than satisfactory. I'm not sure if it was old or cheap or what, but it was NOT spicy (and I am VERY sensitive to heat). I normally only use a small amount in my soy sauce for dipping, but I needed to make almost a wasabi paste to get the same tingling sensation I normally love with my wasabi and sushi. This to me, however, is a fairly small infarction on the idea of good sushi. The roll itself was enjoyable. My friend ordered one of their rolls with a sub of cucumber instead of scallions (I wish I could remember what it was, I believe it had smoked salmon, cream cheese and cucumber), which was no prob to substitute. She said the roll was great. She also ordered the tempura asparagus, which was actually panko-breaded and fried, and drizzled with a sort of spicy aioli and teriyaki sauce. It came out and looked fantastic, and it tasted even better. I highly recommend an order to share (I think it came with 6 or so LONG stalks of asparagus). One of the negatives, to me, was the service. While it was fast, I didn't find the staff particularly friendly, though i've certainly had worse service. I would also recommend sitting outside, if possible, as it would be much quieter, and much less crowded. Also, the cost was much better than I expected. With two rolls, two appetizers, and one soda, our bill was around $25. Not bad I think! I will definitely be going back! read more

I've eaten here twice now, both on visits to Augusta. The first time was remembered better than it was apparently. I was very disappointed last week. It's a cute location, very small, with not so great parking. People in Augusta seem to really like it. Maybe a little yuppy. I visited the Surrey location. Sake was good, hard to mess that up, when it comes bottled. The tempura asparagus was a hit at our table, but I personally am not a fan of green veggies. The queso is tasty, but again, I've had much tastier and the chips were too thick (and stale) for my liking. Was afraid to try the sashimi here. Went with sushi, and was disappointed in the rolls. Went with the spicy tuna and triple tango rolls. They were edible, but not very fresh. The spicy tuna was a huge disappointment, as that is usually one of those you can't screw up. I get much better sushi in Denver, and we are much further from the ocean. read more

I've eaten here maybe 3 times in the past 3 years or so and I've never been impressed with the service or the claustrophobic atmosphere in this place. There been times where I've waited to be seated for 15 minutes because there was no host up front. It's really uncomfortable being elbow to elbow with people you don't know and having to listen to their conversations. On a busy Friday night they've left our check at our table when we had just finished eating without asking us if we wanted any dessert (I guess that was our que to leave) I'd recommend the Evans or Aiken locations. read more

Great selection of food. How often can you find a place that offers sushi AND Tex-Mex on the menu? I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Get the crazy roll! My favorite place in Augusta to go for sushi. They also have great appetizers like the fried asparagus and southwestern tuna tartare. Can't go wrong at Tako! read more

Went on a cold Saturday night. The very small restaurant was crowded and they did not have a waiting area. We decided to wait in our car instead of outside in the cold. I would recommend that you make reservations if planning to attend on a Saturday night. Waitress was friendly. But, her service didn't make up for the poor quality of the food. Presentation of sushi was sloppy despite having an uncomplicated mix of ingredients. This restaurant has the potential to be a quaint venue with an interesting latin/asian twist. But, as of now, it falls short. read more

The sushi is FRESH, and I am very particular and love the quality of sushi here! The service is good, and only had one server who was questionable. The dishes are a little pricey, but they are delicious so Im fine with that. Location is great. read more

Great all around experience! Food was fresh and delicious! Sushi was on point and steak fajitas were awesome. Sumo soup was outstanding!

Tako Sushi, Kobe, and this one other place in Aiken are probably the only Japanese food venues in town. The fusion between the Mexican foods and Japanese foods at Tako Sushi serves as a good mix to attract various crowds that are a bit averse to the whole notion of sushi. Service at the place was decent. The place was a bit cramped and I ended up sitting at the front, near the cash register. Wasn't all that impressed with the foods and the drinks weren't as cold as I would have liked them to be. For groups, the place appears to be quite the hang out spot. Most of the younger folk would hang out at Tako Sushi or at Hotel Aiken. Overall, don't have much to say about the place. It was a decent experience but not all the "Wow". read more
