This was overall a good dining experience, but nothing that will knock your socks off. I came here with a group of seven on a Wednesday night, and we had a surprinsingly long wait. It seemed that shortly after we sat down, everyone cleared out. It started super loud and noisy but later we could actually hear everyone speak. For reasons unknown, despite multiple times asking for a drink menu, our server could not seem to find one... eventually our table acquired and coveted one lone drink menu. Then when multiple people ordered a beer, they only had one pint glass left... Underwhelmed by the beer selection (I often am outside of Wisconsin so I don't judge when the restaurant isn't there with a beer focus), so I ordered a margarita instead. Not bad, but somewhat on the weak side. The guacamole had an odd consistency when you tried to scoop it onto a chip, but it did have a distinct and delicious taste. I couldn't tell if the ingredients simply weren't mashed up well enough or if it was an ingredient I didn't recognize that simply didn't lend to mashing. I ordered from the sushi side of the menu. I was disappointed to see that I could not get a simple maki roll like a tuna roll with nothing else but the seaweed and rice. But, I could order sushi and sashimi, so I did order the salmon sushi, scallop sushi, and scallop sashimi. All were delicious, but I have had better scallop (it was still good!). Overall, we had good service aside from the drink menu/glass conundrum at the beginning. Our server was super nice and she was attentive throughout the meal. I would recommend checking this place out and deciding for yourself if it lives up to your sushi standards. I would probably return again if I lived in the area. read more

So many changes! They have definitely revamped their menu since the last time I've been here with a stronger emphasis on great quality sushi! This is now my favorite spot to get sushi in Augusta. It's located in the very quaint and popular Surrey Center with a bunch of boutiques, bars and other nice restaurants. The atmosphere is hip, young and always busy due in part to it being a small popular restaurant. The last time we came on a Thursday night around 8 and were lucky enough to snag the last 4 top. There was a wait starting to form by the time we left. Always expect a wait on the weekends. They get busy early. There's outside seating on the sidewalk and they have heat lamps for use when it's cold. Drinks were delicious and very reasonably priced around $8 for specialty cocktails. I was a big fan of the pear martini and my friend's cucumber mojito. They also had a great selection of wines and beers. For our entree, all 4 of us opted to get the Bento box which came with miso soup, salad, your choice of sushi roll, 5 pieces of nigri and 12 pieces of sashimi that were chef's choice. It's advertised as being for one person but it could have easily been split up between two people. Miso soup and salad were standard. I went with the Hot Mama Roll (Dynamite Roll Faced Up, Topped with Tuna Tartare, Togarishi Pepper & Sriracha Drizzle) and it was delicious. The tuna tartar had so much flavor. Now, my one pet peeve about this place is how Americanized most of the sushi rolls were by either being deep fried or containing cream cheese. So be ready to ask for changes if you prefer real sushi. Now, what blew me away was how fresh and thick the slices of sashimi and nigri were. There were 3 sashimi pieces each of salmon, red meat tuna, fatty tuna, and mackerel. I had one piece each of salmon, red meat tuna, mackerel, fatty tuna and shrimp nigri. It was SO GOOD. Definitely recommend this option if you enjoy fresh sushi since you get a taste of everything. Service was excellent. Despite being busy, our server and I assume someone he was training gave us time to decide on the menu, have recommendations, kept our drinks filled and was always around if we needed anything. Highly recommended! read more

Takosushi - Bento box with Hot Mama Roll - Japanese Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Underwhelming. After reading good reviews we decided to give this a try. We tried location in Augusta. The sushi is okay. Not worth the price they charge for. I have eaten similar quality sushi at Kroger to go. The drink I had was good and I was told that's probably the best drink there. My husband tried octopus which was too chewy and fishy for him that he had to stop eating it. Of course we have had incredible sushi before and am not sure if octopus was fresh. Not going back. read more

No star is what place in Surrey Center deserves! They sell gift cards and then don't let people use them. The young manger is rude and will swear in front of the customers. The food is ok and the sushi chef is very good but the experience was stressful and I will never return. I will pass this information on to my friends and coworkers! read more

I almost hardly recognized the place when I walked in! They've remodeled but nothing's changed about the food and drinks! Had a GREAT Mai Tai for $5 and the unforgettable tempura asparagus! read more

I've been going to Takosushi since it opened. The new owners do not get the good tuna anymore or any of the Uni that was such a treat. Even Myabi has Uni. They do not have oysters anymore either. To top it off, it's hot as Hell in the surrey location due to faulty AC which has been a problem for years. read more

Chips and Salsa go with Sushi!! We were not so sure about this place but it was awesome! The salsa is amazing! The sushi was fresh! The staff was nice. We had a great experience! read more

Ordered the Susan roll. Rice crab cucumber Avacado. Crunchy flash fried. Should have gone w something else. Even in the picture thought it didn't look like there was much in it. I was right. Almost no Avacado no crab and no cucumber. So mostly paid for a fried rice roll. Calamari was a bit chewy but ok. Waiter was great. Checked on us often. A bit loud and cramped but ok. read more

Have you ever received your food, and it looked so tasty that you decided to taste it before taking pictures?...then it tastes so good that you forgot to take pics? Great, with that understanding, there are no pictures on this post. I took my dad to dinner on Veterans' Day and we both enjoyed the Firecracker Shrimp, I also got the cucumber salad. The shrimp was served hot and was delicious. The flavor was a perfect contrast of spicy and tangy. My dad and I were very pleased with our meal. The service was also great! Our waitress, Jade was very pleasant, polite and responsive! We enjoyed the outdoor seating and ended our meal with some hot tea! Great experience and I will be back. read more

I placed a simple pickup order. Was given the wrong order. Returned for the order and found out that the corrected order had no wasabi or ginger. (Only checked that it had correct sushi, not condiments.) disappointing. read more

We have been to Takosushi 40+ times and would have given them 5 stars for service and quality until Wednesday. We ordered two sushi rolls for pickup and had to wait (I get it; they are busy). Surprised the wife, by bringing her lunch However, while eating the sushi, there was a live bug between the ginger and wasabi . We stopped, called them and they said I could bring it in and they would refund what I paid. The manager seemed apologetic and offered to remake the order - thanks - but no thanks. It seems a bit underwhelming of a response. Not sure what an appropriate response includes, but it will take us a long while to go back to my previous favorite restaurant in Augusta. read more

Since the change in ownership, they have really gone downhill. The margaritas aren't as good, the quality of the menu items are downgraded to cheaper ingredients. It's not at all the same as it used to be when Kevin owned it. They must be losing long-time customers like us - we most likely won't be back. read more

Always a favorite, definitely have to expand my palette on new things to try. Definitely recommend if your a sushi lover.

Fourth time to Takosushi...seemingly becoming a go to place for me in the area. We always get the fried asparagus. It is panko battered, fried, and served with a sweet soy based dipping sauce and some of what I call Yum-Yum sauce. I had a Crunchy Shrimp Roll and two pieces of Yellowtail and Salmon sushi. All in all pretty good. The service has always been great. When the weather is good, they have outdoor seating. The only downside is that the place is rather small and the single restroom opens right into the dining room. read more

I like Takosushi. This restaurant reminds me of New York restaurants mainly because it's fairly small. However, the intimate atmosphere is cool. I've visited Takosushi so many times. I've dined in and ordered take-out. Each time, I'm pleased. On my most recent visit, I sat at the sushi bar for the first time. Mainly because there was a good number of customers dining. It was also a bit chilly that day and it was a good seat if you didn't want to feel the draft from front door. We had a great waitress. My friend was indecisive about what she wanted to order and the waitress did a good job of explaining all the options. I ended up ordered The Folley Roll, which was a special. I also ordered Miso soup, vegetable spring roll and a cocktail. I enjoyed everything. This is a great spot in the Summer. You can sit outside. I absolutely love outdoor seating. Also, the parking is good in the evening. This is because all of the surrounding shops have closed. I'll be back. One of the best places to get sushi in Augusta. read more

The concept of this place is intriguing. Mexican and Japanese cuisine served together. Refreshingly good is the best way I can describe this restaurant. I was surprised with a visit here today. Never heard of this restaurant until a Facebook post. I am glad I paid attention to the post. The sushi is the real deal. Off the lunch menu, I order the Triple Tango Roll which consists of salmon, seared tuna, avocado, cucumber, and more. It was delicious. The wait staff is amazing. They constantly check in with you and clear the table frequently. The only negative thing is it's not that spacious. It's not a true issue unless you're trying to dine and it's full so you must wait. This seems to be a hot trendy spot for the area. Definitely a must try. read more

Did a curbside pick up order. Normally I'd wear shoes but today I was in a hurry so I didn't throw on shoes and just drove there 20 minutes. I get there and they said oh we're busy so hold on. I said that's fine, I didn't throw on shoes. The lady said okay it'll be just a few mins. I said fine I'll wait. I was out on hold and looked at the time, 25 minutes had gone by... nobody ever came back. Thank goodness I didn't pay ahead to save time. This was one of the worst experiences I've had with them, usually it's always decent. read more

Takosushi had very visually appealing sushi that lacked quality. While it may make for good photos, my appetite was not satisfied and neither was my wallet. My visit makes me question the credibility of the local "best of" ranking system. - Small restaurant in a cozy shopping center - Fairly fast service - Rolls had either too much sauce or no flavor at all - Check out my pictures! I ordered the Cucumber salad ($2.75) that came with (guess?) cucumbers! They were also kind enough to put some crab stick & sprouts with Ponzu bitter at end. It was crunchy and a good inexpensive appetizer. The rolls I ordered really confused me as some were delicious, others very bland. Luck of the draw? My wife and I started with the Jesse's Roll ($11.95) which was very flavor packed and melted in my mouth. The best sushi is the kind that can almost disintegrate as it sits on your tongue because it's so fresh. We went on to try the Japanese bagel ($5.95) that came with smoked salmon, cream cheese, and scallions. It was good, just not anything special. I wish we wouldn't have ordered the Triple Tango Roll ($10.95). It was dry and ribbery. Not a good sign of quality! I had really high hopes for this roll. It came with shrimp, crab, avocado & cucumber. It was topped with spicy seared tuna, white tuna, salmon and teriyaki drizzle. The Crazy Susan Roll ($10.95) was next but it arrive slathered in mayo. It was almost inedible. It had shrimp tempura, fresh shrimp, crab, cucumber & avocado in a soy wrap. It was flash-fried, topped with teriyaki Glaze & Takosushi sauce. After that we tried the Shrimp Tempura Roll w/ Soy Paper ($7.95) but it really didn't have that much shrimp. I've never experienced that before. Gulp. Overall this place was too hit or miss. I would have a tough time dropping another $50 and only enjoying half of what I ordered. read more

Everything is so good from the sushi to the mixed drinks I really enjoyed the lemon drops

We absolutely love Tako but the past few times we've came the queso tatse very old and so do the chips. Otherwise, great sushi and drinks. Service is always good as well. read more

Never really liked sushi until I came here, now I'm hooked! I love the quickness of the service and how fresh everything is. Some things are a little pricy but it's worth it. This is probably one of my favorite restaurants in Augusta right now! read more

They have a couple tables outside and looked like they were seating people inside. But we felt more comfortable calling in a to-go order during Covid. We had a big order, but it was ready right when they said it would be, it was all still piping hot, and the order was perfect. The tempura asparagus is off the chain! It comes with some kind of soy aioli dipping sauce. We also got several different sushi rolls that were tasty. The spicy slaw on the fish tacos was delicious, but they're not kidding when they say spicy. The Chile relleno was good, but when compared to all of the other flavorful dishes, it was my least favorite. Overall, great food and they made it easy to order, pick up, and pay while still social distancing. I'd go back next time I'm in town. read more

On recommendation from a friend, I came here, as I love sushi, and he raves about it here as his favorite sushi place.. That being said, I had a helluva time finding the place. It is small, and in a strip mall. I passed it 6 times before I found it hidden (to me i guess) on the second level of the shopping areas.. Trendy atmosphere, and the place was packed. The staff was super friendly, and all the customers appeared to be having a good time. I started w/ the Miso soup and cucumber salad. The Miso was very good w/ lots of Tofu and scallions as I like. The salad was good, but the "sprouts" were actually shredded beets. Ruined the salad for me, as I do not like beets. You can order without, just need to tell them. Lots of cucumbers, very little crab in comparison. Next round was the Yellow-Tail and Salmon Sashimi. The fish was excellent and well proportioned for the money. Great flavor. Then I asked e waiter what he recommended. It was the Tataki Tango. I had the junior portion, as I wanted to leave room for other things. His recommendation was spot on. The flavor of the seared / spiced fish, the ponzu and cucumber was wonderful. Once again beware the beets, as they used them between the cucumbers and seaweed.. After that I tried the Fried Green Tomato roll which had a great flavor with shrimp on top of the roll and jalapeño / cream cheese inside w/ the tomato. Really good. I finished it off w/ the Dan's 49 roll which had their version of crab and shrimp salad and jalapeno's. Tasty, but way too much mayo in the "chop chop" sauce. Overall, the place was nice, the food good, and the service excellent. I uploaded the pics of the food I had for your viewing. I will return, as thee are a few more items I am interested in tasting read more

Ambience - B+ (small space and crowded) Staff - A Food - A Price - B+ Don't want to sound like a sushi-snob, but after eating sushi at 5:00 a.m. and experiencing the famous and largest wholesale fish market of the world - Tsukiji Fish Market - Tokyo - it's incomparable now when eating sushi elsewhere! It's amazing with technology advances that we can enjoy most any kinds of food year round. HOWEVER, I still love it when I get can get sushi whenever I'm craving good food! SO, thanks Kevin Goldsmith for having this "sushi" option restaurant in Augusta, GA! I give credit to anyone for taste, presentation, service and ambiance when due. I actually liked the idea of fusion style of mex-asian... Mexican one side of the menu and Asian on the other... FUN! Since I was being treated by a family of the faint of heart to raw fish (they ordered mostly) , Takosushi is the perfect place for anyone to experience eating "sushi-style" foods... lots of cooked seafood... I'm quite impressed with the variety of sushi rolls with cooked meats offered! The flash frying and tempura is just so perfect for the south! Here were our dishes: Southwest Tuna Tartare - my only raw dish (does it really count when the lime juice cooks it!) YEA... so good and spicy! Tempura asparagus - with Ponzu and a special Takosushi sauce(white sauce of some kind) Fried oyster sushi (special) - good and sweet Ika Sansia - seasoned roasted Squid w/ mushrooms/ponzu / and red chilies - delicious flavor...and tender chewy! California Roll - well, my unadventurous family members (which includes an 8 year old) RAVED over this roll! (I myself am not a fan of fake crab.) Spider Roll - The "largest" fried soft-shell crab I've ever experienced and so crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and delicious! Crazy Roll (Kevin Roll) - Tempura Shrimp, shrimp and crab (i think the pollack) - okay. Pyramid Roll - tuna, snapper, crab (flash fried roll) - liked the sriracha sauce on this one - good. Mixed Greens - $15.95 on the menu - I thought this was a little pricey for the size of this salad...since we just ate a very med. size plate of greens/veggies... hmmm.. maybe there's a separate price for a smaller plate without any meats (I should have requested the add-on sushi for $1 on the side) - but fresh and good with the ponzu dressing...not sure how just a small salad is priced. Overall, the food was tasty... so, I probably would try again (on my own) and order more raw rolls and sushi next time to get a feeling for other flavors! My group went overboard for me on cooked fish, tempura and flash frying. The SPACE is small (so we were warned of our party of 7 that we only had 1 1/2 hour to eat, but nearing 9... the place wasn't standing room anymore.) No problem... I can't imagine squeezing any party of 8 or more... but I'm sure they must make-do!... oh, there's always the Sushi bar if room is available, that's always fun! SAKE - I've learned during my 13 year travels in Japan, that drinking good chilled sake is the way to go... the idea is that the warmth of your mouth brings out the flavor of the sake, and if one were to heat their sake, then this heats off most of the flavor... just a difference of preference. However, I tried the NIGORI Sake (served chilled) a little milky color - Delicious... it has a "refreshing fruity flavor" that lingers on the pallet. NICE! SERVICE - loved our "gal" server, very attentive, friendly, and helpful. No complaints on this one...but we're not a FUSSY group! Thanks Kevin... nice to have trendy, chic boutique restaurants like this in Augusta! read more

Another amazing. Is it. This time I imbibed and had several delicious rolls. Junior was very accommodating after I mentioned I had pain from my 5 hour dental work. Made me a margarita that was so strong, novocaine has to be jealous. After that it was less painful to chew! I had to uber to my Airbnb Worth it read more

We love this place! Always has good drinks and great food. The service is great and they have a great attitude if we need something changed.

Takosushi brought good sushi to the Augusta area when it opened years ago and over time they continue to set the bar for consistently excellent sushi. While the Tempura Asparagus and Queso are really good, the Southwest Tuna Tartare is a MUST ORDER for spicy tuna fans. I've never had a bad roll there, but my go-tos are the Hot Mama roll (try it NOT fried!), the Volcano roll, the Unforgettable roll, and the cucumber salad roll. The Crazy Roll is a great roll for sushi beginners! Don't forget to try their housemade ice creams! They're usually pretty good and occasionally inventive. If you're a sweet cocktail fan, try the Key Lime-tini! read more

Asparagus was very rough. When you first walk in it smells sort of like a pet shop... the food was good but my waitress I'm assuming, completely forgot about me. I sit here with an empty glass and she has not looked my way but has greeted the table that is right beside me... I am parched and would like a Togo box and maybe another drink. read more

I've been hearing about this place for a few months now by friends saying it's a great sushi place with a nice asian fusion twist. Overall this place is good. My server was very friendly and helpful, he was constantly checking on me to see if I needed anything or to take empty plates away. The food came out fairly quick and tasted great. I had the cheese dip with chorizo and chips which was amazing! I also had the pajama roll, biggest loser roll, and rainbow roll. I highly recommend the biggest loser roll. I be had better sushi but this place serves pretty decent and fresh sushi. My only complaint would be the over priced hot green tea (most asian restaurants serve free or low priced hot tea). This location isn't very big for 10+ ppl groups or parties. The lighting is dim and the ambiance is pretty casual. I would like to come back and try one of their fusion dishes. read more

We came right after lunch on a Wednesday, there was no wait or crowd. We were greeted promptly and the service was incredibly speedy and professional. I ordered the crazy roll and veggie egg roll app. Both very flavorful and fresh! (Be warned the egg roll only came with 2 pc.) my bf got the chorizo quesadilla with beans and guacamole salad. He said it was good. The atmosphere is calm and perfect for a date or family outing. We will absolutely be back! read more

Takosushi - Steak tacos.. wow!! Steak was cooked perfectly - Japanese Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Atmosphere: Can't say much here. Since it was Masters week, they had a tent with tables in the front where we decided to eat. Inside is fairly small and tables were close to each other. Only one bathroom (unisex) which had some chairs stacked inside. Probably no other room to put them in. Service: Our server, Hope, was friendly. Smiled a lot and asked how everything was like most servers would do. However, didn't ask if we wanted drink refills. Food: 1) Steak tacos. Steak had no flavor at all but was tender since I ordered it medium. Beans were tasty 2) Sashimi Sampler hors d'oeuvres: Was disappointed here. Tasted fishy especially the white fish. Had better at authentic Japanese restaurants that was similarly priced. 3) Potstickers: Were a little on the hard side. Sauce was good enough to compensate for the chewiness. 4) Shrimp Shumai: Was also a little on the hard side. May have been cooked by Chef Mic. 5) Firecracker White Fish: Below averaged taste. Nothing special. Just deep fried battered white fish covered with some type of fusion sweet sauce. Summary: I'm from Atlanta and have been to many international restaurants. Went here due to some good reviews but i would say this place is average at best. Price was high for the quality of food. This is supposed to be a fusion restaurant but I didn't see much fusion of Japanese and Mexican in one dish. Japanese and Mexican dishes/appetizers were separate items in the menu. It's basically just two international restaurants in one. Other members in our party felt the same. read more
