We usually order sushi for takeout but were delighted with the quiet ambiance when we dined at Takumi for dinner last night. We started with scallion pancakes and tasty pork vegetable gyoza. Service was pleasantly attentive but not hovering. We enjoyed a variety of sushi rolls, some standards and a couple house specialties: California, salmon-avocado, yellowtail, Shelly crunchy and "Danger" , all of which were delicious! read more

This was an almost nightmare. Their menu was huge, with many, many options of both Japanese and Chinese items. We ordered quite a few, but none of them tasted even nearly as good as average home cooking. Their sushi (we ordered a la carte) were not as good as the grocery store sushi in plastic boxes. They charged us 17 dollars for a small skewer with three small pieces of meat on it. Their pork cutlet was not chewable (the most rubbery piece of meat I have ever eaten). Their agedashi tofu was very greasy. The restaurant was very quiet, but that was because there were only our table and one other table, at dinner time on a Sunday evening. We are unlikely to go back, and you should avoid this restaurant, too. read more

Six of us visited to celebrate two recent college graduations. We were seated immediately and drink orders were promptly taken. We ordered a variety of appetizers; the cucumber salad, scallion pancakes, and agedashi tofu were enjoyed by all, with several other apps equally shared and enjoyed. My crispy chicken was perfect. Shrimp tempura, pork katsu, chicken katsu, ramen soup, everything was fresh, hot and delicious! My sister and lived in Japan for 1/2 years and enjoyed a LOT of food there. Takumi took us back to those times! Very highly recommended! read more

Came here for late lunch the other day. My husband and I got two special rolls, a shrimp tempura roll, salmon sashimi and beef ho fun. Beef ho fun was pretty good. Wish there was more noodles and meat. Mostly it was all vegetables. The rolls were decent. I thought there was too much rice in the rolls and not enough shrimp :( I also thought it was expensive. $13 dollars for half a roll I would get at other sushi places. I felt we paid a lot for so little food that tasted mediocre. Maybe there are better things on the menu to get but not that impressed by this place. read more

The sushi is superb, but the facility needs upgrades: worn carpeting and flooring, wobbly tables, tired looks.

The service, food and atmosphere is exceptional. My first time eating here and I'm like wow! Where have you been all of my life lol. I had the Tom Yam Nabe. Savory, spicy bowl of goodness. read more

Takumi is always great! Love their sushi and hot dishes. I haven't dined in since the start of COVID, but my family has gotten takeout from Takumi fairly often. We ordered takeout this evening (pretty large order...my family can put away the sushi). The employee that took my order was friendly, our order was correct, and it was ready on time. The best items on the menu (in my opinion) are the orange blossom roll, little mermaid roll, concord pike roll, and baby octopus appetizer. read more

Very disappointing. Ordered for carry out. 6 rolls and two entrees. The rolls were tiny and lacked care in their creation. Only received a table spoon of wasabi and a few strips of ginger for 6 rolls. The California roll, the most basic of rolls, had a drink straw sized piece of fake crab. It wasn't blended with anything--just a stringy small end of a stick. The fish in the other rolls was such a small amount and of poor quality. The avocado on the top of the specialty roll was brown. To be fair I have not had any good sushi in all of DE. A five dollar roll at Sprouts is of better quality and value than here. The General Tso tasted like shrimp which leads me to believe that they do not have separate frying baskets for shellfish. Lesson learned. read more

I came to eat here because the first thing on their website is "free miso soup for kids" and my 1 year old loves miso soup. Apparently they discontinued the promo even when the sign was still active on their website and I brought it up. The least they could do is honor the promo since it was still active on their website. The $3 cup of soup would have made the rest of the meal way better. Instead my $90 dollar meal was alright, service was a bit lack luster, and the atmosphere felt like they were trying too hard for be upscale. The food was fresh and a bit overpriced but I assume the mark up is for the "atmosphere". Would not be my first choice for Asian cuisine. read more

I can't stand a sneaky business. As you can see I've ordered from here a couple times. Today I ordered calamari which was ok and the usual Takumi Fired Rice with veggies (extra $3.00 ridiculous), which is basically shrimp fried rice; I select brown rice, I'm not convinced it is. Anyways, it's fine when you dont feel like cooking and it's late. Every time I ask only for shrimp, since we don't eat meat; THERE IS NOT AN OPTION TO SELECT A MEAT, they write them all in the description, so you have write it in the comment box. I don't ask for extra shrimp, just for them to hold the meat. Well.. today 2am in the morning, I get a call and email from GrubHub stating that they are adding an extra $8.00 as a result of this! SERIOUSLY, you are going to charge me $26 for some shrimp fried rice! Not this day. GrubHub has since removed the charge and I will never ever patronize this business again. I knew I should haven't cheated on Rasa Sayang a couple doors down; they would never have done this. Last week when I ordered online for a friend for pick-up, they called me to tell me don't order on app it's more money, just call them. Takumi, you can learn at lot from your competitor. read more

Delicious food, kind staff, and a great selection. Have been coming here since I was an infant and the food and people have always been excellent. Hope to be able to bring my children here some day! read more

I just received my first delivery from Takumi. I feel like it was overpriced for what I had ordered. The sushi roll was small, mostly rice, and underwhelming. The tuna sashimi was decent. I didn't care for the soba noodles. Perhaps it's different dining in...but I won't be ordering from here again. read more

Our first time here and the food was great. Loved the volcano roll and our entrees. The service was attentive and prices were reasonable. Will definitely be back. read more

Takumi is our go-to for takeout sushi, largely based on proximity alone. That being said, it is reliably good, though has never totally wow-ed me. Takumi is located in the Independence Mall on 202, with plenty of parking in the lot, though due to the proximity of several other restaurants, you may park a little farther from the front door than you'd like --- on a cold January day, we were wishing for a "15 min parking" kind of spot for picking up takeout. Our usual order includes Pork Gyoza to start, which are flavorful, but could use a bit more filling in my opinion --- you're often left with a bite of just shell. I almost always order an Alaskan roll, in part because it's my favorite, but also in part because I use it to compare apples to apples between sushi restaurants. Takumi doesn't offer an Alaskan roll on their menu, so I have them add cucumber to the Salmon/Avocado roll (I believe there's a surcharge. The salmon tastes fresh, but there is quite a bit of rice on the roll, which means you wind up filling up on rice too quickly to thoroughly enjoy the good stuff (boooo!). In addition, we ordered three other rolls on our most recent visit. The Heaven roll featured spicy scallops and mango with salmon, shrimp, and avocado on top, which we liked and felt was different from the usual sushi offerings at other restaurants. We enjoyed the Little Mermaid, a shrimp tempura roll with spicy crabstick. One of my favorites is the Spangle roll, which has spicy tuna, avocado, and is seasoned with aji nori furikake --- which adds a lot of flavor and is something I've never really seen at other restaurants. For our appetizer and four rolls, our total was around $50 --- fairly reasonable. All in all, I enjoy Takumi, but I tend to choose elsewhere if I have the time to trek a bit farther to fulfill my sushi craving. read more

I ordered the Ikura to start. I found the presentation to be odd and imbalanced being served without any rice or butter or anything. The flavor of the roe vastly overpowered my palate. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. The pad thai was tasty. The noodles were a bit gooey, but not too far gone. The beef was well-executed. The dish has a nice melding of sweet, sour, savory, and salty flavors. Overall, this is a decent meal. I wouldn't go out of my way to return, but it was OK. read more

THE OWNER of the restaurant, you can't make up some stories to fool people, I know where I ate! Your waitress who was wearing Japanese style clothes charged me 3 cokes for 2 people, go ask her but not come here to blame your customer! I can't believe I gave her a tip! AND STOP SENDING ME MESSAGES TO ACCUSE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Food is not authentic but over charged, the beverage tastes like water, no bubbles at all and they charge every glasses of coca you thought it supposed to be free refills, got shocked when I received the bill, no service from the waitress, no napkins no straws, never going back again! Terrible experience! read more

I have found that there are some pretty good places to get sushi in the Wilmington, DE area all of which have your standard roll options at pretty reasonable prices. But there only seem to be a few with some creative specialty rolls and super fresh product. Takumi has a pretty great sushi menu and I've sampled most of it. Their signature roll is the Orange Blossom and you should get it. I promise it will not disappoint you. Spicy tuna, Kani and avocado topped with salmon, scallions, crunchy tobiko and two sauces this roll is hitting on all cylinders. They also have three types of hand rolls which I personally love but don't find at most places. I always devour it before taking a pic. Note to self: exercise some self control. Lastly, Takimi actually prepares all manner of Asian cuisine from Pho's to Chicken with dry hot peppers. The menu is a bit on the pricy side though. All things considered I won't hesitate to pay top dollar for sushi but I kind of hem and haw at paying 20.00 for a fried rice dish. The staff is ultra friendly and the place is nicely decorated. A solid four star establishment for me. read more

Sub par Japanese food. Rude staff. Noisy and so overpriced for what they offer. We won't waste time returning. Not at all worth the money they charge... Crazy to pay $8 for edamame and have it tossed at you by a loud server, cold. read more

Food is always amazing, service is great, and the owners are super nice. Very welcoming place with great sushi.

We called to make a reservation and asked if there was a kids menu. They said there was a kids menu. Once seated we realize there is no kids menu, so we had to order a $14 noodle bowl. They charged us $4 for apple juice on top of that! Our sushi came out, and our daughter's food did not. They forgot it. We were done eating our sushi by the time the noodles came out. They also had pillows which didn't look clean, and are not very cleanable which seems strange to have during a pandemic. My husband had to order three different beers that were on the menu but they kept coming back and saying, sorry we are out of that. The restaurant was very quiet, and not really a good setup for kids. The food was good, but all of the other reasons made it not a great experience. read more

We had take out from Takumi last night and the food was excellent as usual. The reason for this post is to complement them in the extremely hygienic measures they have taken during the pandemic.

$3 draft beer means only Coors Light. Not any of the other 5 draft beers. And the happy hour sushi is the same price as normal sushi, but is missing prize items (orange blossom but without salmon). Then because I complained that the happy hour sign was wrong and misleading, I was told I was not allowed to have beer because my eyes. This is the worst food experience I have ever had, and if I could give a negative 1000 star I would. There was nothing desirable about this establishment. read more

I used to think that the sushi at this place was pretty good, but the last few times went from "meh" to "what's going on?" to "what the???? never again." Given the high prices, you would think that they would not cheap out (and they didn't when I used to go there), but they do now! The sushi pieces are embarrassingly small and some are sinewy. It was also pretty disappointing to see imitation crab meat on the sushi platter. Also, WARNING!, they do not actually accommodate for food allergies. They say they do, but they don't do their research. They almost caused a serious accident. read more

I find it odd that the majority of the reviews for Takumi are from people out of town. I have no idea what they are talking about. I have been eating here for over 10 years and i absolutely love the food. It is authentic Chinese and the flavors are incredible. The boiled fish in hot sauce or the boiled beef are my favorites. The salt and pepper shrimp is another fantastic dish. You must try the string beans or eggplant - they are both incredible. I've had the sushi numerous times and always find it fresh and well prepared. I don't think many of the other reviews are real. I go with people from my work who grew up in China and they have all said it's authentic and very good. If you haven't tried the place, you are missing out! read more

Delicious sushi, great service, nice atmosphere. My husband and I love coming here for special occasions.
